Sorry, here's another question: ive just been reading about the coolant issues with the casing. can i run water in the cooling system or does it have to be motul motocool? thanks again

update: the wheel bearings are now done, just the shock bearing to replace, the shock itself is ok. still the other stuff though, if anyone could advise it would be appreciated. it says in the manual 20 40w light gear oil but my local dealer doesnt stock it. what do you use? ATB Si

Hi all. I've decided to have a go at trials. I've bought a 2003 Beta Rev3, and wondered what gear oil do you guys use? also: the wheel bearings need replacing, ive ordered some and am happy doing that myself, but the bearing at the bottom of the rear shock is also worn. on closer inspection it looks like the shock itself has some wear in it. ie, the hole the bearing sits in looks like its worn out. has anyone else seen this and what did you do? sorry for the barrage of questions, but also do you have your suspension fairly bouncy? i wondered if you had it that way to help bounce the bike around tight corners. and one last thing, the front brake does not lock up, i'd have thought it should! it does have new pads in it so maybe they just need to bed in. Thanks in advance for all your help. Regards Si

What weight oil did you use? ATB Si
