  1. The organizers became aware of this, If you check their website out they are now charging
  2. Just thought I would chuck my two pence worth in as I started trials in the early eighties when it was just twin shocks with the no stop rule and the sections were set out to suit, then monoshocks came along which seemed to whip them sections easily, eventually as more mono's turned up and less twinshocks sections were made tight and twisty if you couldn't bunny hop you had no chance, skillful as it may be some riders took ages in a section lining their bikes up for the next climb regardless of probably 20 riders waiting at the section, to me it became dull and less fun, so I am all for the non stop rule, but which ever rule is adopted it should be for all clubs and riders should adapt to what is set out in front of them.

    Endurouk.co.uk

    For all you offroaders looking for somewhere to ride or practise once a month Sat/Sun or the whole weekend check out Enduro uk. Endurouk is a new club formed recently and is run by Vicky and Clyde who organise these events purely for the love of the sport, they have two sites available to use with other sites in prospect,being riders themselves their aim is to provide offroaders somewhere to ride/practise and enjoy themselves with easy and hard routes depending on your skills, they have a great little kiddies track - good for the family, they have a terrific set up with paramedics always in attendance should you need them. As most offroaders will know that finding somewhere to ride these days is getting harder, the organisers of Enduro uk put in alot of time,money and effort into staging their events for us riders to enjoy, check it out on you tube Whittham on the hill and Colsterworth then come along to the next event 19th and 20th November your support would be welcomed, have been to the last three events you won't be disappointed, I would put a direct link to you tube and endurouk.co.uk but don't know how to do it.

    Rev 80 misfire

    Way back in December I had problems with the Rev 80 misfire, a month ago I had the stator rewound by WCW after advice from all on this forum, and sure enough problem cured, thought I would post the outcome for any body who has the same problem. Cheers all
  5. I did the back wheel on my Rev 3 yesterday with exactly the same problem, being a builder I use an expanding rawlbolt thats almost the same size as the internal of the spacer then drill a hole in a piece of flat bar to fit over the threaded end of the rawlbolt put the nut on and tighten it all up you can then tap the under side of the flat bar with a hammer, mine came out in seconds, I also use this method to get pistons out of brake callipers when they are pushed flat or seized in there housing works every time for me although you must use the right type of rawlbolt ones that expand at the ends. don't use the ones that expand in the middle. The alloy spacers do fit inside the bearings, if you don't get on with the above you can still get the bearings out the usuall way then use a socket to tap out the spacer, I normally heat the hub up around the bearing with a blow lamp it's easier to get the bearings out. Hope this helps
  6. Can't beat neat fairy liquid also sticks the tyre to the rim when dry, never had corrosion problems been using it for years,it also does the dishes lol.

    Rev 80 misfire

    Hi Mark, I was at Earls Shilton at the weekend where there are alot of Rev 80 riders, after some chat it seems this misfire is quite common, replacing the stator cured the problem I was told. Reading your post has confirmed it for me, now I know where I am going on this one, thanks for your reply I will sort this in Jan and post the outcome, cheers Paul

    Rev 80 misfire

    Hi Mark, it certainly is a strange fault and it's doing my head in, I have tried every thing I can think of with no luck I tend to think it's more electrical but which bit I don't know, the bike is ridable so I will have to put up with it for now. If I get it sorted I will post on this thread so it may help others. Thanks for your help Paul

    Rev 80 misfire

    Hi Mark,in answer to your questions I have let the bike cool off and changed the spark plug and it will still misfire at about a third throttle. When My lad rode the bike the other Sunday at a trial it was wet. On full throttle under load it seems to be rpm. It is a misfire. I have checked the petrol flow which comes through at a good rate, I recently fitted a new in line filter and cleaned out the petrol tank in hope that it would eliminate dirt etc. the air filter is recently new and I clean it regular. It will rev up fine at half throttle when it starts misfiring, if I clean the carb out and the wipe the stator (when I'm back home)it will rev up fine but only last's for about 40 minutes or so regardless of wet or dry conditions, I'm baffled as to whether it's carb or electrical, should I get the stator rewound and then try it or what? we had a 2004 Rev 80 which had the exact symptons I didn't cure that one either I sold it bought this one and now back to square one. Cheers Paul.

    rev 80 clutch

    Hi, there are several threads been posted on this subject. I had a 2004 beta 80 with the same problem ordered a competition clutch but was told it would be weeks before I got it. The Rev 80 is basically a KTM engine so most parts fit, gearbox bearings are the same and so on, I fitted a complete clutch from a 2006 SX KTM 65 because the ring gear was worn our 80, had to fit the KTM gear pinion with it, but check the parts as there may be some variations between models. The clutch plates should fit straight in on yours. I was told that KTM had a surplus of engines which Beta bought and modified some parts i.e the gear ratio's, flywheel etc to suit trials. Also I found KTM parts are cheaper than buying Beta,
  11. To be honest I can't remember the size difference between the mini and the 50 as it was some time ago, last week at our local trial there was alot of mini and beta 50's but I didn't take much notice, I do remember visiting the Beta stand at the dirt bike show about 5 years ago to look at the bikes we discarded the mini trial bike straight away it was too small my lad was approx 4ft tall then, John Lampkin told me that the mini bike was ok for a while and advised that we went for a geared 50, kids of that age soon get to grips with it if they are interested. I would suggest that you go to a local trial and check out the youngsters bikes and compare them, they may even let your lad have a ride, if your lad is tall for his age I would say the geared 50 if he is comfortable with it, it will also mean one less bike to purchase.
  12. Personally I would go for the Beta Rev 50 geared bike, my lad started trials at 6 years of age and rode a Honda crf 50 it was geared but with no clutch lever, a year later I bought him a TXT Gas Gas 50 had loads of electrical problems,but I think the models from 2006 are ok,I bought him the Rev 50 geared bike and within the hour he had got the hang of it,we kept it for 18 months it never let us down, the Beta minitrial is smaller and probably ideal for Youth D, hope this helps.

    Rev 80 misfire

    Hi guys, back to the misfiring 80, tried the spark in the dark no wandering sparks, took the exhaust off clear as a bell, took the carb off checked and cleaned everything, I took the flywheel off and cleaned the stator and flywheel some dirt but not excessive, I put it all back together it fired up and ran at high revs without missing, ah! great I thought, my lad tested it at a trial yesterday it run great for 2 laps then it started misfiring again but not so bad as before, he finished the trisl with no problem but I still haven't cured it any idea's ?
  14. Hi Mickmc, before you go to beta agents which could be expensive try your local area who supplies bearings ie. premier bearings or transpower drives etc they will be alot cheaper, you may have to take the bearings to match up or the number on the bearing, I use copper or normal grease for any bearings I put in, I'm surprised that your steering head bearings have gone already your sure they gone or maybe just need tightening up ? as they are normally taper bearings they are not difficult to change, basically take the top yoke off and drop the front wheel and forks off in one piece swap bearings and put it back together hope this helps. Is your rev 80 still misfiring at high revs? I think I have cured mine but it needs to be tested for half an hour or so will let you know the outcome when tested. Paul

    Rev 80 misfire

    I will try anything to get it to run right, I do clean the carb and the jets regular more so after washing down but it used to run fine until recently so haven't touched the slider, I think its more electrical but what part I don't know, is this a common problem with 80,s as my last one did it and Mickmc his is doing the same, will let you know when its sorted. cheers

    rev 80 engine

    My bike is a 2004 Beta and the clutch I used was off a KTM SX 65 06 model it went straight on but I did have to use the KTM gear pinion with it.

    Rev 80 misfire

    Thanks for your reply dadof2, I don't think it's a petrol problem the spark plug is the right colour, the jets are ok, air filter is recently new and cleaned regular have played around with the air screw and made no difference, but I will try running the engine in the dark and post what I find, Cheers.

    Rev 80 misfire

    Hi guys, I have a 2008 rev 80 which has recently developed a misfire at higher revs, it has a new plug, new HT cap have cleaned out the carb and the stator and checked all wiring but made no difference,we previously had a 2004 rev 80 with the same problem but I sold it with the misfire, the buyer intended to let me know what,when and how he cured it but he never did, so before I go throwing money at coils,cdi's and stators I just wondered if anybody has had this problem and could give me some pointers as to what cures it, is it a common problem with these Rev 80's, any info appreciated.

    rev 80 engine

    Th rev 80 is basiclly a KTM engine and the KTM 65 clutch fits straight on to the 80, I know because I fitted one on my lads bike a few weeks ago, the only difference is the mx 65 has a cush drive fitted which gives a split second delay when releasing the clutch not that my lad notices,the Beta 80 clutch plates fit straight in also, the ring gear and pinion gear are the same we have had no problems as yet, I fitted one because Lampkins have a back order which would have took weeks to turn up, other than that the mx clutches are alot cheaper. hope this helps
  21. Well I'm blown away, I have always associated Kw to some sort of mains electricity and have never thought of it being connected to motorbikes in any way, Monteberg and Feetupfun thank you for your replies, I think that answers my question quite well, cheer's guy's
  22. Hi guys, I will ask the question on this thread as it to do with electric bikes, and the question is what is a 25Kw motor bike ? my friend is filling in a license application form to obtain a motor bike license in which one of the tick boxes reads are you applying for a provisional license to ride up to a 25Kw bike he asked me how big is that, but I don't have a clue, does anybody have any pointers on this.
  23. Superman is whizzing around New York he's a bit fed up and bored cos batman the joker and so on are all on holiday, suddenly he catches sight of wonder woman laying on top of a tower block spread eagled and naked, ha ha he thinks I've always fancied wonder woman and while the others are not here I'll have abit of fun, so he whizzes down and gives her what oh and flee's, wonder woman sits up and says what the hell was that, don't know said the invisible man but it f**king hurt
  24. Although I am repeating what has already been posted in my opinion Big John ticks all the right boxes ( maybe we should elect him as president ) if all clubs run a unified coloured marker system yellow/easy to red/expert or whatever allowing riders to choose the colour section that suits their capability, a coloured sticker on your number to show what section your riding that seems straight forward and simple to me. To introduce the green route for all clubs the only draw back that I can see is for example, Earls Shilton started the green route this year attracting a good entry of riders, but they have the ideal trials ground to do this, other clubs are not so fortunate to be able to offer a third deviation to the sections, I don't know the answer to this one. For me as a rider to enter a trial at any club knowing I will ride say the white route is simple, probably nothing will change and things will stay as they are, but a unified maker would be a start.
