I'm looking for a recommendation on what brand and type of oil to use in my 99 Techno 250. At someones advice I just used a Spectro full synthetic product (SX 10-30 wgt). The clutch binds after just sitting for a minute or so with the engine off and I had to rock it back and forth, clutch pulled and bike in 3rd to free it up. Any advice?? My manual (as sparce as it is) recommends 500cc! Is this correct? Thanks!!

Hello, i have just agreed to purchase a 2003 beta rev 3 250 for

Hi all, trying to find a manual for my beta 99 techno, im after the wiring diagram especialy, does anyone know were i can download one from? cheers Jonno

Hi ive got an 06 beta 250 and its a great bike i love the riding position but after a year on a 05 sherco 250 i find the engine to be rather flat I would like to make it more shercolike i was told to get used to it and i have and can use the engine the way its ment to The bike is in peices at the moment (fork seals have gone and new tyre) so i was at cowm quarry today and i had a go on a sherco 290 with kehin carb and loved the engine ive also rode richard timperlys gasgas and found the engine very good I know i couldnt make it as powerful as the sherco but cold i get my engine close to that as in responsive and solid feeling so just wondering if i can make the bike …

i was out on my bike at the week end, stopped for a drink left bike ticking over, all of a sudden it jumped into gear and hit the side of my van any help would be welcome. Bike has been tricky to find neutral while running but ok when not started.

I'm about to replace the standard kill/lights switch block on my bike with a Yamaha-type 2-wire kill switch, but can't for the life of me remember how to wire it up (apart from the earth connection!). I'm a bit of an electrical disaster area so the last time I did this I wrote everything down and drew diagrams etc.... predicatably, I've lost that piece of paper now. I'd like to remove all of the superfluous lighting gubbins while I'm at it so if anyone can remind me what needs to be disconnected where and what needs to be wired to what, I'd appreciate it. BTW, I eventually managed to get that nasty standard switch unit working semi-reliably by disassembling it, enlarging…

I bought my daughter an 04 Beta rev'n'go 2yrs ago but she has only ridden it half a dozen times. Used in fields, never seen a rock, no scratches etc. She's simply not interested in it and my 4yr lad old is too small for it yet. Should I sell it and build one of these buggers? http://www.reallifetoys.co.uk/Real%20Life%...ys/complete.htm My lad wants the green one So, what would a 'like new' Beta 50 fetch these days?

Hi < can anyone answer this? I have a 2000 rev 3 which has a back tyre with tube .I have been told that I should be using a tubeless tyre . I have just gone through 2 inner tubes in a week. The wheel has spun ripping the valve cleen off both times. I think the rims are original. Before I go and buy a new tyre or tube I could use some advice thanks Leggins

does anyone know of a good place to get info on a Xreg (80/81) Beta 125s, we've had a scout about the net but can't find a thing about them, the only other bike we've found belongs to a guy in hollland! any idea what they are worth? i've had bikes since the late 70's and cant recall seeing any kickin about at the time thanks in advance

When the Rev-50 is in gear, with the clutch pulled in, the kickstart will not engage. Does anybody know what needs to be done to remove this restriction? My son now finds it very annoying having to always select neutral in order to start the bike. He can at times kick it over with the clutch out and then quickly pull the clutch in as it starts, but this is not always convenient according to the predicament. At the moment we have removed the clutch-side sidecover off the engine, but cannot see anything apparent. On another topic, I saw reference in the past to a 75cc kit for the Rev-50. Can anyone point me to some info on this? Thanks, Jim

I seem to be going through a plug a day at the moment. It always happens after about an hour and when accelerating away in 4th or 5th gear. I'd spend most the time in 2nd or 3rd then go onto a road or track in 4th or 5th, accelerate away, at which point it dies. The plugs always look black and slightly suity. I can't figure out what it could be... Anybody know what could be the problem? The engine always seems fine up until the point it dies.

Mate of mine took it out on an 04 rev 3 to sharpen the pick up, thinking of having a try mainly to ease putting the carb back in. Any one tried it before and is there a noticable change in throttle pick up

Hi all, i need a thermostat for my 99 beta techno, im going to lampkins up the road for one tomorro but are they hard to fit? iv heard that they are easy, that they need sealing in, and that they need setting, which is true? any help would be great! Jonno

Often on here we are commonly reading comments by people about service and products they are unhappy with. Occassionaly we are able to pass on our positive experiences with people and companies, and this is just such a letter! I just wanted to take a minute to thank Beta USA not only for their top notch service but the knowledge about Beta that they have passed on now for some 20yrs. I know that many people in North America share the experiences I have had too. I am just so pleased that my son is able to ride such a great bike for him and that Beta themselves offer such a wide variety of machines to suit kid's of all ages!!! We just received our 06 Rev80 which much to…

Can anyone tell me where to get and from who, an aftermarket sprocket for an 06 Rev80??? Does either Talon or Renthal make them??? Looking for a 57 Tooth rear! cheers, Steve

Just bought one of these for the 06 Rev 3, great bit of kit, looks really strong and moulds around the Shocker. The standard one holed in about 2 hours as I'm sure all you 06 riders know about. Cost

Right the time has come and i`m gonna give my bike a little more life! But speaking to a couple of the R2W guy`s yesterday and there seems too be a little confusion as too the thread on the screws, is it a left or right hand thread? I don`t really want to go at it the wrong way just in case I shear one off!!! that would be a nightmare Any help is greatly appreciated as usual

Well me and a mate went on to silsden to pick up my first good trials bike, Beta Techno 99 model, 250cc, not had long on it but i LOVE it, feels so nice and smooth, the pics from my phone so not the best, see what you think

I've been told there's a new carb option in town...it allegedly has mythical qualities-improves fuel consumption- (by not watering the land with petrol), improves power and obliterates choking. Before forking out 180 of your English Pounds, does it improve performance? Now I seem to remember someons stateside posting that someone had a Rev3 ona dyno with Dell'Orto carb and significantly improved power. But I'm told this is a flat-side carb- was the one ref to in the prev post such a carb or different model? I understood flat-side Kehilin carbs are temperamental, but great when working well- would the same apply to the Dell'Orto? I have NO knowledge of the murky world …
