Yes we are.

Well I didn't have my boots helmet ect on so perhaps its closer than I know.

I have no idea how much 30% is on the beta. Thanks

Just fitted a new shock on a 2006 Beta Rev and have 10mm static sag and 45mm with me on the bike. Anyone here know what stock settings are for this bike? Thanks

Thanks guys found the information, now I have to fix it. Cheers, Peter

I noticed after a few obstacles yesterday that my bike when tilted to the side (very little) is dumping gas out of one of of tubes from the carb. I'm assuming float adjustment? Before removing anything I thought I would ask here for specs, tutorials ect on adjusting the carb on my bike. Thanks, Peter

Thanks. I always adjusted the rebound on the rear full out on a Gasgas. So I should dial it in until its slow and then back off a touch?

Ok the best I can get is 2 (50.8mm) inches of total sag, and 1/2 inch (12.5mm) of static sag. Seem ok? If I loosen the collars on the spring anymore I just get more static sag, but no more sag from body weight. I'm a lighter rider, 160lbs fully clothed so I think this is the best I'll get it. The rider I purchased it from looked about 200lbs, so he had the spring cranked down making the front end rake when I was friding. Also somewhat too hard in the rear. PS just switched from a 2000 Gasser and this bike is a real treat to ride. 550cc's for the transmission? Is 80 weight ok?

I just purchased an 06 Beta and measured rear sag. Without rider 1/4 inch sag, with rider (myself) I get an inch of sag. How much sag should I be looking for? Not sure what total travel is...although I believe sag should be set at about 40%?

Thanks guys. I noticed that the engine is chunkier at about 2 turns out, but crisper at 3. I'll experiment and see what works for my riding style. I think that the spring may be the difference. Perhaps I should try a lower rated spring. I've tried to back off the preload and the suspension feels dead. If I crank it down it becomes to bouncy. I found a happy medium for the shock, but still feel like I'm leaning forward.

I have a 2000 TXT250. On the gasgas tech page it states 3.5 turns out for fuel screw. I assume this is the first smaller screw? Is this a starting point, I have mine about 3 turns out and it runs good there. Secondly I have a newer rear shock on my bike which looks like an 02 shock. The spring has much larger gaps between the coils than my buddies 2000, both are Sachs, but mine has different colored collar bolts to lock the spring down and a different spring ie: gap between coils. It feels as if though my bike rides raked forward no matter how I adjust the front forks. Rear linkage was cleaned, lubed and is fully serviced no issues. Is the 2002 shock longer than the 2000?

My buddy just picked up a 2008 Pro TXT 280 and upon startup the fan runs, and it seems to run more than it should. Any experience/ideas about this?

Not sure about the dextron, but I believe it should be about 300cc for forks drained and refilled. I think that there is a small drain screw at the bottom of the fork that you remove. Its helpful to remove the top cap on the fork leg (looks like you should remove yours and clean them anyways). I find it drains better with the caps off of the leg. Also I think 5 wt for leg oil is recommended. The clickers are quite simple. There should be a set screw (hex) on the side of the cap with a spring and ball bearing inside to set the clicks. Your are probably set too deep or dirty adn ceased. Just take out the screw, clean the bearing and reset so that it clicks freely. Thats my two cents.

Hi Peter. The shock is grey with a yellow spring. I can't get more than an 1.5 inches of sag as when I loosen the collar nuts off of the shock the spring becomes too loose and moves freely in between the locking nuts and the bottom base. Not sure about the anti-dampening. It is full to the - adjustment. Should it be adjusted towards the + side? This would be anti-clockwise. The shock is new so the spring isn't sagging.

I recently replaced my rear shock with a new shock and thought I'd measure the sag ect. last night. I have 1/2 inch static sag, and 1 inch total sag. This seems low for total sag to me...if memory serves me right should sit about 2 inches? Its a sach shock on a 2000 TXT. Any thoughts on what I should be shooting for? With an inch the suspension seems a little stiff.
