How old are you, I guessing 14?????

Why do countless people moan about pre65 events and how they are no fun ect….. (I for one enjoy modern pre65 events MX & Trials) Maybe the only people not having fun are the bigoted few? It’s easy to criticise other peoples efforts and bikes, so why don’t all the whingers start a pure pre65 club or host event! Actions speak louder than words

If it was a private sale, its no longer your problem (as stated above)

Give him chance, he’s cleaning his rose tinted glasses

Re: Ask Greeves posts, What a rude bigoted person! But that’s just my opinion, and I didn’t read it in Don Morley’s book

Next you will be telling me Red Bull is not the same as Redex injector cleaner!

that's a very nice bike, the frame is Similar to the Suzuki Beamish

It’s a drink!?!?!?! I’ve been cleaning my old paintbrushes with it!

The classic (and funniest) question must be: Does it have power-bands? Closely followed by Can I convert it to 4 stroke? Many years ago I went to look at a RM125, the vendor told me it had power-bands fitted to every gear he said he could guarantee this has he had just fitted new ones!

I use ATF (Dexron II) and it works well

How many silver engine models did beamish produce?

It’s that rare the 250 gaskets won’t fit, even though it’s a 325! Didn’t all the 325 beamish’s have reed valves on the barrel?

I’ve broke a few doing motocross, its always worth going to the doctors, just to be on the safe side! My doctor was a git, he kept poking the broken ones…

Oggie is correct its the shops problem, you need to talk to trading standards ASAP!

Mild steel should be fine (EN1), but you would probably be better with EN8 as the thread would be stronger It very much depends on the application & spindle diameter.

Chinese riders maybe, but not Japanese

Did the brakes & drums ever change on the beamish models? Also does anyone know the best place to get a cheap front brake plate?

I have it parked next to a beamish and bultaco and they are fine (and 30 years older)

Just got my gasgas out after a couple of months laid up, the spokes and nipples have gone rusty, so has various parts of the frame! Anyone else had this problem?

What size or make was the chains they chopped though? Might help others to protect there bike in the future

If you can turn the piston clockwise / anticlockwise you have a bearing issue that needs further investigation (Probably the little end bearing)

An alarm, ground anchor and a few hefty chains are your best bet

Did the early silver engine beamish have different brake shoes to the later black engine models?

Thought as much, looks like it will be an off-road only bike

I have a bantam frame. The frame number starts BD25**** but its very faint, I’m not sure of the year or type (think it’s a D7) I’m in the process of fitting a C15 engine, how hard would it be to get a V5 for this frame / Bike?
