Hi all, Jeff here from Randle (Gifford Pinchott). I just bought an used 2019 Bete Evo 300. It had leaky rt fork and I'm trying to put in new seals in it. I'm trying to remove the bolt on the bottom of the fork. With the forks off I used an air impact gun and it loosened it enough for the oil to leak out. Now it just spins and I've researched the internet and cant find what I can do. Any help would be appreciated Thanks, Jeff

I put some fresh petrol in yesterday and it started second kick. I have unstuck one of the fork legs this morning and changed the oils but realised i don't have a manual, could anybody point me in the right direction to get a manual for a 1977 Montesa cota 247 Many thanks Chris from East Devon

Hello from Wisconsin! (In the crime free USA) I am an old trials rider from waaay back.....and have just recently come full circle and got a new trials bike again after many years of riding motocross/enduro/hare scrambles. I got my start at 14 years old when I bought a new Suzuki RL250, but have also owned Bultaco and Ossa trials bikes too. Just bought a new 2018 Montesa Cota 300RR and I'm very impressed with the bike and how advanced they are now. Looking forward to getting better and challenging my self through out the remaining year.......before the snow comes again and I switch equipment to the snowmobile.?

Hi all and greetings from Guernsey (British Channel Islands). New to the forum and a very new owner of my first classic twin shock - a Bultaco Sherpa Type 92 framed Type 49 motor - which I know is going to need a lot of work (that’s why I bought it). I’ve spent some time researching and always seem to end up back here so just wanted to say hi. I might be here a while ? very best regards Tim

Hello. Similar to many others I have used the site a lot and thought it time to join. I bought my Bultaco Frontera back in 1986 for £100. It was in bad shape but still worked. This was all pre internet days and I was only 21 but I did have enough sense to buy the Haynes competition manual. Other than being very tatty the main problem back then was difficulty in selecting 2nd gear. Luckily I lived near the Len Savage Shop in Farnborough and he put me in touch with an old mechanic who had loads of spares and I got another selector drum. I don't know how we managed it but with some help from friends we changed the drum and it all worked. I got the bike through th…

Hi guys I am new on here and doing a project for my grandson with some leftover parts from a GT80 project. I am looking for a TY80 engine and carb possibly. I have a DT50 engine but do really want to make it what it should be. My alternative which I am reluctant to do is nick the engine from the GT80 and put that in. That motor though has a bigger carb and a YZ80 barrel. I would really need another barrel to accept the correct threaded exhaust. I don't mind a project but prefer in UK or Europe. I have seen one in USA that needs help but £200 almost postage. Thanks Albie

Hello! Name's Justin, I'm from Sacramento, CA. USA. Got a bit of the quarantine blues, and I saw a 2000 Beta 270 on-line, and figured "well that's not the dumbest thing I've ever done" It's an older bike, but it was a great deal and she runs great! Just needs a rear fender and looks like the fork seals (inverted forks) are leaking a bit, which I'm pretty sure is leaking on the front brakes (they aren't as grabby as I imagined). I've been riding trails for about 15 years on a 2003 DRZ250, but that doesn't hold be back from keeping up (or passing) the big bikes. I used to compete in bike trials, downhill, and XC way back in college. Looki…
