[Gg 300 Pro Top End Question]

Your not the first to have this happen !

[2012 Pro Racing Air Box , Water !]

My air box seems to let a fair amount of water in.

Nothing crazy in regard to deep water work , just seems to pick it up with pretty general stuff.

I can tell when its getting bad by the feel of the bike , when I check , sure enough a puddle of dirty water.

Anyone else got this going on , any tips to prevent would be appreciated ?

Thanks

[Irc Tyres....]

I use XLite , I am not the greatest rider but cant fault them .

Not much chat from the Manx on here .

As a newcomer and only at trials for 2 years , it was very difficult .

Cant wait to get back though , loved every minute of it .

[Best Ventilated Helmet]

Arai Penta

Very light but importantly the liner is crafted in a way that it does not wrap your whole head .

It is also lightly vented to allow some of the hot air out.

Different shell sizes makes the perfect fit.

They are expensive but try http://www.jim-allan.com/Product/UX20110922015851.html

[Manx 2 Day]

Not long now !

My first time , clubman .

Any tips and stories ?

[S3 Long Pipe On 300 Pro]

Hi

I have read about what the LONG pipe does to bottom end power .

I have a 2012 300 Pro , anyone fitted one of these ?

Thanks

[300 Pro Racing]

Fitted 48 pilot to give it a try , perfect , thanks Nigel Dabster!

I did have a 48 in before the new slide arrived , was then told to stick with 45 and the 3 slide

Thats it now , running how it should from the factory.

3 slide , JJJ needle , 48 pilot jet , standard main jet

[300 Pro Racing]

Hi

I am also on 3 slide , JJJ needle (middle position), 45 pilot , air screw 1.5 turns out.

Just fitted the fly wheel weight , recomended by Gary McDonald , feels good.

Flushed out fluid in formula clutch , better but not as good as AJP !

I have both bikes here to compare.

What did Boyesen reeds do it ?

Thanks

[300 Pro Racing]

I have had my bike a couple of months now.

1st day out it was pinking badly , very badly. After many phone calls and research ( 4 weeks on ) its cured, however I had to buy a new slide and needle to fix the problem.

The Formula brakes are great but the clutch operation is not to my liking , the 2011 Raga clutch action is far better (AJP), I am going to replace the Formula clutch master cylinder for an AJP.

Other than those niggles I think its a great bike , the power delivery is beautiful and works well in mud and on rocks.

I have had Beta Evos and Shercos , both good but I believe this is the better machine.

Only time will tell with wear and reliability but I am very happy with my purchase.

My dealer is Drysdales in Perth , he has been great in helping me get to the bottom of the problems , to be fair I was his first Gas Gas customer and his first 300 Pro Racing .

I think Gas Gas should have sorted the parts out under warranty , they might yet as they know I have been moaning.

How are all the other 300 racings doing out there ?

[Arai Penta Vs. Hyper T]

Arai Penta is the best helmet you will ever buy for trials , ask Toni Bou !

Sizing is very accurate , if you measure a medium you will fit ANY Arai medium !

ARAI Penta as worn by Toni Bou

Best quality and fit in the WORLD !

Custom fits by Arai Techs can be arranged for odd size heads.

[To wear or not to wear ....Body Armour]

Hi

I am fairly new to the sport of trials.

After 18 months of cuts and bruises I have taken to wearing some armour , knee and elbow .

It has made a huge difference and will not ride without it now.

I know the pros would not be seen dead wearing armour but why do so many club riders refuse to wear any , its the club rider that takes most of the damage.

I use light weight mountain bike gear , it does not get in the way , it gets a little hot in the warmer weather but its a trade I am happy to live with.

What is the general feeling from the old timers of trials ?

[Evo 4t ....300cc]

Hi

GEARING , 2011 Evo 300 4T

I am not experienced enough to know what works best on this bike.

What have you done ?

Can you please help me with your findings , pros and cons !

[Evo Black Frame]

Hi

Want to let you all know John Lampkin at Beta UK came up trumps !

I am very happy to accept the carbon frame covers and decals he kindly sent me within a day of my complaint.

I sent him a short note advising him of the problem , in no way was I looking for a new frame and am perfectly happy with the outcome.

Once again John and Beta Uk have excelled.

A big thank you from me.

[Evo Black Frame]

Hi

Is anyone else having trouble with the black paint on the 2011 Evo frames ?

Mines peeling off all over the place , looks terrible now .

I use a pressure washer to clean it but doesnt everyone , bike is less than a year old !

[Tiger Cub clutch]

Hi

Looking to upgrade clutch , any recomendations ?

Basket is old and worn , metal plates look rough , friction plates not too bad

I have new springs and Almac mechanisim fitted.

Keeps slipping , adjusted it as per instructions on this site , no luck !

Plan is to fit new basket and both sets of plates.

What is best options

Thanks

[Pre 65 trials in Scotland]

Hey Willie

Dont forget me !

My Tiger Cub sooked in a screw so its been pulled to bits for the last few weeks.

I will get it back this weekend and plan to start using it at some of our club events.

I love the look and sound of the old bikes , they go far better than I imagined , even with me on it !!!

Watch out the pre65 wobblers

Check with Beta UK web site , they have a carb mod listed in the technical menu

My 290 would not lift properly at the bpttom end , I was advised to change the pilot jet , it made all the difference but will have to change back for the colder weather , the guys at Beta are very helpful , give them a call.
