Beta

Ask ten Beta owners what the worst maintenance task on a Beta is and eight of ten will say bleeding the rear brake. The other two don’t work on their own bikes. OK maybe that’s an exaggeration but it really is evil. My rear brake has been squeeky and weird since a get off last year that bent the disk. Replacing the disk helped but still not right so I went to replace the pads and the hex head on the pad retaining bolt stripped out. Ugh! Screw it. Replace the caliper though I know it meant the dreaded bleed. Hook up the lines, fill the reservoir and pump, pump, pump.... Too much air to make it work. Syringe back bleed to the master alternating push/pull monitoring le…

I replaced the 38mm Paioli front fork oil on my 1996 Beta Techno and it was pretty dirty and thin. I noticed smoother fork action with the new 5wt oil. I suspect the rear shock oil is also in poor condition as well. Can I replace the oil in this shock? I think it is non adjustable, but have not seen the top of the shock yet. I have rebuilt Showa and WP pressurized shocks on enduro bikes, but never tried a trails shock before.

I've decided to keep my 250 4t and I'm looking for an arrow exhaust and recommended rear shock upgrade options? Can anyone help? It's a 2013

Does anyone know if a 2012 beta evo 250 exhaust silencer will fit a 2015 Beta Evo 125 ???

the clutch is still very on/off,i did the "clutch fix" years ago and changed the fluid about 2 rides ago but is there anything else I can do to make it more progressive? I did see a YT vid but it was all in Japanesse?

the nephews both have Beta Evo 125's 2015 models one of them seems to be lacking in power compared to the other one and also sounding a little tinny i'm thinking new piston rings and top end bearing would help any advice would be much appreciated

Who buys standard bikes instead factory and why? Other than money. Cant get my hands on a factory 300 2t right now in the USA. Should I just go standard or is worth the wait. Apparently they will be available end of June. Also if anyone really knows the difference of the two ... Can you just buy after market parts and make the standard a "factory" other than color?

What is your thoughts on them, compared say to previous factory models and standard models if you have any experience, thanks in advance

HI - My 11 year old rides/races a KX85. We ride at altitude (Utah/Colorado). I want to get him a trials bike to learn the slow stuff. Would a Beta 200 be manageable..? Thanks

Having a nightmare putting the front end back together, it's like an episode of krypton factor.. What order does it go together out of the radiator, exhaust and engine-radiator-engine guard brackets.. All bits in the picture.. Kind rgds Jamie

Anyone know the torque for the clutch spring bolts on a beta 250 2004 model? Cheers Jamie

I have a 2001 Rev3 that is a little sharp off idle so I would like to try a weight. I have one for a 2008 but it is a different size. I can make one. Does anyone have any details like diameter, thickness weight or even a picture. I find nothing on line.

Hi there. I have a Beta Rev 3 2008 with KEIHIN carb. The bike starts great with the choke. The second I touch the throttle it bogs down and dies. As soon as it’s slightly warm I can turn the throttle fully open quickly and it’ll bog for a second and spring to life. No problem whatsoever when warm. Could this be a fuel issue? Maybe need a slight adjustment to the air screw? Thanks

Hi there, Just torn my REV 3 270 motor down for new bearings and seals and am going through other items whilst I wait for parts. I've never used the bike as it had a few issues when I bought it. I have a few questions please - some may be dumb but its been 10 yrs since I had a 2 stroke apart and a few brain cells have said rendex vous, if anyone can help: 1) Rings - My bike has a Vertex piston (I'm not sure whether this is the original make of piston) looks in good condition. When I push the rings into the barrel the 2 ring gaps measure up at 0.5 and 0.7. I've read in the evo manual that the gaps limit is 0.6mm. Do I leave or replace? And if I use as is should I…

Anyone have any kind of downloaded manual or torque guide for a 2007 beta evo ? Cheers Jamie

Hi I have had rear caliper kit fitted by trials shop I've tried bleeding brake several times keep getting same result poor brake today took off caliper removed pads pistons only move slightly even with no resistance they don't come right out should I be looking at master cylinder or is there still air system I have used large syringe backwards and from reservoir no air bubbles all looks good any help would be appreciated cheers mark

Can you buy a Beta 4t throttle tube by itself somewhere? I see the whole throttle assembly on line but not just the tube. Do the quads using the same carb use the same throttle? Could this be it? https://domino-usa.com/shop/off-road/throttle-controls-off-road/4t-throttle-controller-ktm5065/

I have already replaced the copper washer at the bottom of my left hand fork as it was leaking did a trial and it was still leaking there I have since changed the fork seals so had he washer out again put back together and the left hand fork is still leaking from the bottom after I have had a ride around the garden Any ideas on what else could be causing this as the washer has been replaced

I don't think I've touched the suspension setup on my 2014 250 Evo since I got it last year. But now being under house arrest, I've cleaned and polished everything, I stood beside the bike with rag in hand defying any speck of dust to land on it, and then I thought I would see if I can do anything to improve the suspension generally. I've just been looking at the Owner's Manual and that is about as much use as a chocolate teapot. My intention is to set up the sag by adjusting preload at both ends. I've seen figures of 33% and 38%. Any other opinions? I think it's best to get the oil out of the forks and replace it as I have no idea what is in there or how much. …

What year did Beta improve/change their rear tubeless tire from having the rubber band around the middle? I've heard the newer Beta's use a different type of tubeless wheel than my '09 EVO has... Cheers
