Can someone tell me the correct fluids and capacities for a '97 techno? Crankcase oil & volume.....fork oil and volume(s)

Hi i have just started having problems with my 99 techno 250 at low revs it will run fine one minuite and the next i can feel the engine knocking and backfiring . i replaced the plug and put new fuel in it ran ok untill i put it through the gears and built some speed up after it started playing up again please help me.

I've just been reading r2w's site where he describes how he discovered that the cause of his Gasser Pro running hot was a pinched outer head gasket (http://www.r2wtrials.com/html_files/tech.html). I've noticed that my Rev-3 is exhibiting similar symptoms (fan cutting in after only a couple of minutes' riding) as well as an accompanying pinging that I'm STILL trying to eliminate. Being pretty mechanically naive, I'm assuming that the Beta cooling system is similar to that on the GasGas and that a pinched or otherwise leaky head gasket is a possible cause of the hot running (and possibly the pinging)... worth looking at the head gasket(s)?

Hi guys, im sure there are some of you out there who know something about the new bike. i am wondering if anyone knows when the first pics of it willl be released and when the infromation about it will be out. So far ive heard that itz going to be Red and Silver, dont know if its true or not. cheers chris

Hi all, noticed the clutch cover gasket on my 2002 Rev3 250, is sticking out at the top, and leaking oil. I've got a new one, and am looking to replace it tommorow. I'm assuming the water pump has to come out first?..or does it come away with the rest of the clutch cover ..all in one piece?..(haven't looked that closely at it yet). If I do need to take out the water pump gubbings first..will I need to drain the system? ANY advice is welcome..'cause I'm not TOO good with the spanners ..Thanks in advance for any help.

anyone replaced the back mudguard lately, and how much was it ? Just noticed that its cracked from the back bolt across the top to the other bolt on the other side, I used zip ties on my old techno but it doesnt look like you can do that on the 04,although i could be mistaken,regards mick

HI Guys Just found this forum for the educated Trials rider and for those who are smart enough to be on a Beta. Just a quick email to let you guys know that I have all the spare parts breakdowns on my website downloadable as a PDF file. I haven't got the 2004 on there yet as I have a problem up loading to the site. Hopefully the IT geek will fix some time soon - it has only been 3-4 months!!!!!! Hope this helps my fellow Beta riders through out the Trials world. address is : www.kdmototrials.com.au Select spare parts then choose your model, right click and "save target as" to your hard drive.

Hi guys, its getting close for me getting my new bike, ive decided to go for a 2004 Beta 250, i was phoning around and so far the best quote i have is

im giving my bike a service before the trials season starts and one of the things i need to do is change the fork seals. i have a 95 techno and it has usd forks i have unscrewed the caps off the tops and dranied the oil but where do i go from there i the sliders wont come out so i cant get the dust seals off which means i cant get to the clips to take the seals out

I'm thinking about buying this first edition rev 3, the guy is asking 2000

It is getting spark and fuel but it will not start. Last time I rode it there were no problems, running fine. It sat for about two weeks, and now it won't run. Any ideas?

Hello, I have a Beta Techno from the early 1990's. Unfortunately it did not run for about 3 or 4 years. But now I want to reactivate it. My question: Which oil does it need? CU Joerg

I've noticed that my 04 rev'3 sounds as sweet as a nut when cold but when its warmed up it sounds rattly in the gearbox ,i'm using the clutch tuner recommended by lampkins,anyone else noticed this.

Hi guys, im getting my new 2004 Beta 250 next week, i am getting it brand new so im wandering how do i break the bike in, ive been told that you ride it for 5-8hours then change the gearbox oil, is that all there is to it? does anyone have a plan that i could print of and follow so i break my bike in properly, thanks in advance Chris

HI, we have seen all the shots of the new machines,have we any shots of the new beta trials range?.would this be to much to ask john boy lampkin??????

http://www.betamotor.com/media/news/2004_0...rr4t_foto03.jpg Obviously, this engine wouldn't make into a trials bike, but is this a BETA motor, or is this engine sourced from a partner company?

I have a suspicion that ATF causes the clutch fibre plates to swell thus causing all clutches to drag since there wouldn't be enough 'throw' to adequately separate the plates. Anyone have any experience with this? Is this on track or am I smoking left-handed tobacco? I've switched over to Mobil 1 synthetic and away from Torco MTF 75 - the Mobil 1 seems to help a little with the clutch dragging. I think a wholesale switch to new fibre AND new steel plates along with the Mobil 1 should give me a perfect clutch for the upcoming fall season. What are you running in your bike?

i was riding my bike today and i noticed my bike was making a clunking sound when it was put under strain going up a climb when it clunks the engine runs fine and does not lose power but the sound p****s me off and it makes me scared to ride my bike again incase it breaks it

my bike seems to blubber abit at high revs anyone got any ideas ? regards mick

Well, I did it...I took the plunge. Yesterday I ordered my first trials bike ever! A 2002 Beta Rev-3 270 from Ron Commo at usbeta.com. I sent the check today...hopefully I should see the bike within a week or two.
