    Follow The Leader

    Since the UK master won his first championship, whether it be world or british, what ever mount he has been riding it sets the trend for most to follow. Beta had thier run in the late 90's and then Montesa for quite a few years and know Beta are back, maybe the latest product is a little, well ????????????????????? Its great for the factories to have a top rider riding thier product, but just think how it would be if say Xispa, Scorpa and even the reborn Ossa have the same chance, these machines are more than capable in the right hands and it might set yet another new trend!!
  3. 2009 Evo 250/290 - beta -best build quality!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you sure??!! Go GasGas and be safe
  4. One thing to look at is the engine seals, as its a 97 these may have perrished burning gearbox oil when warm and revved hard. Check your levels.

    Engine Pinking?

    Try 3 to 3 and a 1/4 turns out, standard on GasGas carbs as its a fuel screw not an air screw.............has always worked for me!

    Grips

    Godzilla, Q; Using puncture kit glue, I would of thought leaving the glue to dry prior to fixing would be very difficult to fit as the dry glue would stop the grip from sliding on ? Or have I read it wrong ?

    Grips

  15. Has anyone ever got p----d --f trying to bid/buy/ask questions regarding a possible purchase from e-bay?? I have tried it twice now with no luck, infact the seller told me a pack of lies, re-entered the item back on e-bay after agreeing a buy it now price,not keeping in touch etc. What more can I say ................do they want to sell or think they can get
  16. GasGas all the way, stick with what you know. Pretty sure you could get it for $3000. Good Luck
  17. Well, a good Question, as everyone has their own preferences. Over the years I have found 8psi in the front and 2-4psi in the rear (2psi in mud/roots etc and 4psi on rocks) If you have a Michelin front, it will last for ages. The best rear is no doult an IRC which will get better as it wears, as goes for when to change its upto you , as a guide, if the centre knobbly looses its pattern then think of changing it or turn it as you will definatly get more use from it. Hope this will help,
  18. I've just set mine up and it was a different bike, hope this helps. Have you taken the carb off and cleaned the bowl? then.............. 1. air/fuel screw 3 1/2 turns out with a nice tick over, 2. make sure the choke lever has 15mm of free play so when on full lock it stays OFF!!! 3. on the side of the carb you have the pump, make sure there is NO free play, this works as soon as you twist the throttle and eliminates stalling and intant reponse...................................................hopefully 4. once you have refitted the tank push the throttle cable cluster up so it runs in line with no dips. This is what I did and it worked Keep us posted Jam

    4rt - 2nd Mortgage?

    If you look at the overall picture, whatever you do financially, the world is in a right mess. But on the other hand if you want a new car its the time to buy according to the papers. for example, a new 08 Vectra SRI diesel for

    Tyre Pressures

    Mixed thoughts and pressures here, I've always used 8 psi in the front ( any lower and I feel the front tends to tuck under) and 2-4 psi in the rear, again it all depends on how the grip level feels. Tubeless tyres can run this low, well I've always done it this way. Enjoy......

    Smoky Bike

    Check the gear box oil,(500ml) because the seal goes and lets oil into the engine, hence the smoky exhaust. Ours has gone.
  25. Don't forget guys, entries close on tuesday for the 3rd round of the midland centre group trial series at Coney Green near Stourport on Severn, great venue and promises to be a brill trial. Check out TMX for regs.
