10/41 or 10/42 is generally best,standard 11/42 gives 1st that is still too high and 4th is too much on a 250 unless its really slippery

Does the fluid level in the master cylinder drop?if it does it's the seal in the master cylinder,pull the boot back and see if theres fluid there If not it;ll be the seal in the clutch casing.GasGas Pro clutches normally slip,not drag when worn

Doesn't sound bad to me,you might be able to get it for less,try you have nothing to lose,£770 ok anyway.Won't cost much to sort it,seems all the costly stuff is ok 'you could pay more and get a worse one

I'd try and save up and get any recent 250 at about £2000,cheap bikes can turn out to cost more than you think to sort out,and they're not worth much more when sorted,If this isn't possible a Montesa 315 is the best bet at your budget and buy on condition rather than age.If you don't have much mechanical knowledge take someone who does when viewing,its easy to get carried away and make an expensive mistake

They are fine with dextron 3,don;t know about dextron 2

thanks Baldilocks,will do as you suggest

I broke my brake pedal last week[7 sections in]how annoying,it was a good trial.Ordered and fitted aftermarket one,rode it today and it twisted and became useless after 2 sections.Found it was possible to straighten it with a pair of small pliers,what a load of c---p.Am I unlucky or are they all this weak.?

Thats less than dealers pay for them,why would you let them go for that?maybe they came trom a duff batch.You normally get what you pay for

Remove the airbox,and turn it upside down.Its made in two halves and screwed together.Take it apart and seal the joint with some Stickaflex from a motor factors and screw it back together

Chalk and cheese,Mont is beautifully made and has a character an Evo doesn't,but is less competitive.Try both.see which one you like best and is most suited to the events you ride and your style and skill level

There's a company called Langcourts,they're in the West country[Google it]they will be able to fix it Definetly cheaper than new barrel,give them a call. '

What happened to the Crowborough venue this year,one of the best venues we go to.

Shaft is hardened steel,you won.t drill it.Even if you could it would be considerably weaker.Loctite 270[as above and degreased threads] is favourite.Check it every trial to see if it loosens,but I don't think it will

Unfortunatly you get penalised for loyalty with some insurance companies.It's always worth getting alternative quotes whatever you're insuring,a lot of people get ripped off if they just accept the renewal quote

Check the ignition timing

Kicking back is the ignition timing too far advanced,try your mates carb on your bike to see if it runs better on the weaker jetting.Mixture screw is along way out,suggesting an idle jet a little too large,

Isn't it about time Beta sorted this out,virtually every other manufacturer uses the same design clutch with no problem.Ive done all the mods on my 2010 290 which has improved it hugely[thanks for your info guys],but still not as good as my 05 yz250 one

Flywheel weight is defo a good mod,calms the power down and makes it easier to ride,but won't make it easier to kick overLowering the compression will make it easier to start ,but with the weight as well might make it too lazy.I'd lower the comp first,and see if its how you want it

I'd weld some gusset plates between the tubes to make doubly sure.Some one's sure abused it in the past.Cracks that bad don't happen in one trial,what's the rest of the bike like.I'd check the rear shock mounts too,not unheard of for them to give out.Don't know your mechanical ability,if it's not good ask someone you trust to look it over,could end up a money pit,never seen one crack this bad unfortuneatly

What sort of a--ehole sells a bike in that condition,cant believe they didn't know.I would bite the financial bullet and replace the casings with the standard Pro casings rather than the RAGA magnesium ones.Magnesium can be difficult to weld successfully,you'd have to strip the engine anyway to do it.Worth replacing the main bearings and seals while its apart.They are terrific bikes,you'll love it when its done

The white spring that Steve Saunders sells lifts the rear end up,but the damping is still soft.As for the forks abit more preload achieved by a15mm bigger spacer and changing the fork oil to a grade thicker should help.

Had a dunlop on a 250 gas gas,not as good in mud as a mich or irc.Migft be alright on rocks but there aren't many down here

550 mll of atf dextron 3 will do it

Think it works on twin shock and pre65 as the sections are more straightforward and most riders in these rounds are more mature and learnt to ride this way,whereas the younger ones learnt in stop permitted trials so have had to develop trick riding skills to ride much tighter sections

There's a good reason most people use Mich or IRC.You lose more marks in trials through poor grip than any other reason,Mich are best on rocks,IRC slightly better in mud but wear out quickly on rocks
