Beta 4-stroke
The mx ers either run fuel injection or an electric start. the choice is yours. anyway they should only start the bike once per race not fourty times like a trials bike

Beta 4-stroke
I was in a position early this year when i still owned both a 4rt and 4t sherco I have riden fourstroke and two stroke bikes for over 30 years,i cant drive a car so i think i have the knack of starting most bikes. I must dissagree with right click,there is no knack to starting the 4t sherco.if it decided not to go that was it period...... when it was going the motor was awesome loads of power all through the rev range,but you could not rely on it finishing a trial . the mont just allways goes,not quite as well as the sherco perhaps but ALLWAYS GOES. so if you actually want to trial with it buy the mont

4 Strokes And Technology!
Real trials bikes dont need to be competative at world level they need to be reliable and good value for money.. the manufacturers want us to buy world class bikes that only 20 people in the whole world could ride anywhere near thair tru potential. the little scorpa 175 is one of the best trials bikes i have ridden in a long time,and would be powerfull enough for most people except r2 he needs a cr250 mx motor in a bmx bike ,

Water In Efi
Yesterday i answered a question that was really nagging in the back of my mind i flooded my 4rt in a stream. i had taken on water in a stream during a trial then went straight over the bars,the bike coughed and stopped i took the bung of the bottom of the air box lifted the bach wheel to empty it, really gently tried to turn over the motor, felt ok so gave it a kick,it fired straigt away and ran perfectly for the rest of the trial. stripped it out when i got home and could finde no water or muck in intake body put in a clean air filter and ran round the block a few times, maybe this fuel injection aint so bad after all???

Beta 4-stroke
Just catching up on the weekends word war Well done AA ,I felt the same about my 4t sherco,and verry let down by the importers.they allways said the right think but took to long to do it i lost 2500 in seven trials Why do most people think montys are big and heavy????? you lot must all be little boys or whimps???????? well under 80kg ready to go is not heavy and as a few of you say the beta is heavier????? instead of being arm chair crittics go and ride them,or look through the results in tmx ,lots of trials at all levels are won on fourstrokes,

Beta 4-stroke
Oh yes please what a cracker if it goes even half as good as it looks it will be fine my only worry is the carb everyone knows fourstrokes need electric starts or fuel injection. but lets hope beta prove me wrong

Rear Brake
I still kept catching my boot on the rear 4rt brake peadal even after 8 months so here is a quick fix take off the folding tip, this bit varies on the facilitys mates you have, either put an m8 by 14mm bolt in a vice and file it down to about 5mm thick and cross hatch the top ,put an m8 nylock nut in the gap between the old mounts on the lever and put the nut in from the top instant small tip that will roll along any rock you hit. or if you have access to a lathe turn up a small alloy bolt with a 18mm top counter bore that with a 12mm by 3mm deep top castlate this with a small file and bolt up the same way works a treat and i have not missed it yet

175 F
Had a ride on the 175 f scorpa at the bvm test day What a really good bike it is my only complaint with the little 125 was its lack of big hill power the 175 was in my opinion more than powerfull enough for the average clubman rider if i was not as happy with the monty it would be top of my shopping list
