Beta

Hi Folks... I e-mailed the factory a few days ago (BETA)...to ask if they had any plans for a four stroke..OR an anniversary special model for their 100 years in 2005. They replied to me VERY quickly and said there are absolutely NO plans for a four stroke OR a special 100th anniversary model for 2005. I was quite surprised...just wondered what all you lot think?? Maybe they are still playing their cards close to their chest??

Just snapped of the little lump of metal that holds the spring on my side stand. Of course I can get it welded but that might cost as much as buying a new one. DOes anyone have any ideas what a new one would cost?? OR...maybe i should just continue to lean it against a tree???

Fitted a new "O" ring on the clutch cover on my 98 Techno...took nearly 30mins to get it near enough in place then nipped the screws up and seemed ok Went out riding yesterday ...after 5 mins it was leaking ...refitted it the best I could ...leaked again. Had another go and I got it to stop "pi**ing" out ...just a slight weep. Anyone got any tips on fitting them ???? Regards N

Hi guys, at a recent trial i hit my footrest of a rock and bent the bracket, when i came back from practise the other day, it was annoying me because it was bent down and back so my foot would fall off when i hit something or if the footpeg was full of mud, so i took it off to notice a huge split down one of the arms which the bolt goes through to attach it to the frame then when i took it right off it just snapped!! Can you weld brocken brackets or do i need a new one if so how much are they?? cheers chris

Having witnessed the abilities of the 200 Beta Alp's during the Sammy Miller rounds, I went out and bought one primarily as a run about and secondly to do a few long distance trials and green laning. They are very capable bikes and with some work, might be a better proposition than the 4T Scorpa to encourage people to have ago at trials, particularly where you can only afford one bike. The trials with a C route, run by clubs such as my own beloved Stratford Upon Avon, are an ideal introduction to the sport. It will breeze C route sections and I will be attempting the B-route on mine at some events this year. The first round is scheduled for early April, so keep your eye…

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

I have a question on gas. Can I use 110-octane gas in a 2001 Beta Rev.3? I live at 7000 ft. above sea level, if it makes a difference. The gas in question is also leaded fuel. PS I now use a metal gas can like charliechitlins recommends!

I had a tip from Dan Clarke on a training day, to rub my clutch fibre plates with scotchbrite to clean them and to buff the metal plates up if they are shiney.To stop the clutch drag problem I`ve got I`ve never taken the clutch plates off before and have no idea what new ones look like,so I`m not sure if mine are worn or not.The actual fibre is about 0.015"-0.020" thickness (approx)either side of the plate BTW...its a 98 Techno Any help appreciated Regards N

On my 98 techno recently the bearings gave up in the rear wheel and im planning to fix them, is it a special bearing or can you get one from the local DIY shop??? any replies would be great and helpful cheers Chris

I am getting my new beta rev 3 04 on saturday, and i was just wonder what extras (if any) would you add to make it look better?

Went out on on my new 270 today and ran it in for about 3 hours, anyway i washed it all down and it looks like the red anodising is already coming off the rear sprocket, has this happened to anyone elses or might i have got a dodgy one ?? By the way though the rest of the bike is amazing and im loving it !!!!!! Thanks,

Just changed my original handlebars on my '02 Rev 3 I replaced them for Renthal Kenichi Kuroyama bars. They looked very similar in shape...just a bit wider....but (so far)...TO ME...they feel terrible. Has anyone any advice...and if I continue to dislike the new ones..will I be able to buy the original ones??...I think they are called Tomassi or something...who sells them?? Thanks for any help!!

I've just taken the flywheel weight off my '04 250cc and can't believe the difference! It felt brilliant to ride, really zippy but I don't know what it will be like in an actual section. Has anyone else done this? better or worse? Cheers

i was out on my bike on sunday and the fan did not even cut in i thought it was strange but i thought because it was cold it might no be hot enough t cut in when i got home i connected both the wires on the thermostat and started my bike did not even flicker tried tapping it still no movement eney tips also i have a trial this sunday would it damage my bike t ride it without the fan

If I was too take my bash plate off...is it VERY difficult to put back on??...I wonder since it seems to be a significant part of the structure. ALSO>....the nuts at back of bash plate (near rear wheel)..keep getting their heads rouded off on the rocks...I notice the Montesa has a countersunk alan key bolt thingy...which looks MUCH better to me. Mine keeping working loose too...I will locktite them soon... any tips..gratefully received since I'll probably take off the plate soon..and try to sort it all out.

Can anybody tell me the weight of the 270 beta, as i can only seem to find info on the 250? Thanks,

Can any one tell me what size fork seals i require for my 2002 rev3. Also what wieght oil i should use & how much oil.

After reading another post on this forum ,I checked my chain alignment and chain tensioner My sprockets dont line up with each other . My back sprocket is about 1" off from the front ,and my tensioner was set for the back sprocket only,so the chain was angled off the front sprocket... to the tensioner....then straight to the back sprocket Surely this would cause premature wear on chain and front sprocket I take it the tensioner should be on line with a straight edge from the back sprocket to the front sprocket.But even if it was ,the sprockets are not parallel with each other The front sprocket is straight ...the back sprocket is straight....but they are just out of …

How would you compare the Beta 200 to a Sherco 200? Rider imputs, please. MM
