Knew i'd seeen it somewhere, couldn't find it for the life of me last night, i'll follow this up! http://www.betatrialuk.com/images/stories/additional_pdfs/keihincarb2009EVO.pdf

Hi Everyone, time for your cleverness again I was just finishing up getting my Rev 3 (08) back together after having the stator rewound, when a load of fuel started to P**S out the overflow from the carb, never seen this before on the bike although its fairly new to me, but it has been stood for 3 weeks doing nothing whilst I was geting the rewind done. Is there anything that I should look at in the carb other than the valve and seat and the float level?? It appears to be leaking from the overflow that looks as though the take off is on the bottom of the carb if that makes any difference? Started second kick after its rewind btw, won't be long now till the falling off starts again ..lol

Thats poor to say the least, thought I may avoid these issues buying a late in the producion run machine.It makes no sense when the problem has been so well documented.

Thanks everyone, I have spoken to both Lampkins and Steve at Motoplat - sounds like the stator Shame as Ive only ridden the bike 4 times since owning it. I hope the electrics on the new evo have been improved!!!

Whilst my stator is away for a little tlc with motoplat I'm going to go over the bike to prevent other 'known' issues, I havn't got a problem with the water pump housing, no leaks etc, but after having drained the coolant it didn't look like coolant i've ever seen before I will be flushing the system and using putoline NF has anyone else tried it?? Says its 'magnesium friendly'! cheers

Ok cheers for that, after doing some more reseach yesterday, the stator is looking like the culprit here I have ordered a flywheel puller - will report back and let you know the outcome Thanks

I have removed the rad this afternoon, I am confident the wiring is all in good nick and correct, I have no lighting wiring, andhave had a good shufty through this and mine is spot on http://www.newenglandtrials.org/Beta_wiring.pdf I have now removed the coil / cdi and regulator, just need to know how to test them, also how can I test that the stator is working / or not I have a multimeter, not much idea how to use it, but sure I can manage this .. need to - I have no brass to take it to a dealer Thanks everyone for the help so far

I have checked all the electrics out, nothing silly going on their, all connected as they where, just need some feedback on diagnosing I think

Not the kill switch have disconnected that, other wiring looks fine .. this is starting to feel like its going to be an expensive fix!! I have no idea how to test if its the stator - cdi - rectifier ..bit stumped really?? Also I guess I have to remove the radiator and all its gubbins to get access to the electric bits? Thanks everyone .. btw if it makes any difference the bike hasn't been playing up at all, no rough running, spluttering or anything like that, just died

Whilst out riding today, my rev3 250 2008 just died, went over a rock nothing dramatic as i'm a new rider, and the bike just cut out and wouldn't restart. I have changed the plug - nothing, checked sparking - no spark Where / how do I start to diagnose this problem, any help from the experts out is appreciated!! Thanks

Hi mate, I was at Earl Shilton when you started having probs (must be you lol)- I had them side wall punctures that evening on my mich Anyway just to let you know I had an IRC fitted the next day at Leisure Trail in Long Eaton - been fine no problem at all on the 08 Rev3 ..... just thinking its quite probably the same batch of tyres?? Cheers

Yeah owt ya need to know just give us a shout

I fixed it All By Myself Unbeleivable I had a rummage aoound under the shrouds and found 2 yellow wires not connected to anything Join them up and hey presto fan-a-roony comes on. Time for a few of these Cheers all

Hi clever people I have recently taken ownership of a 250 Rev3 (2008), although I've not yet ridden it in anger, I can't get the fan to come on, only riding on a bit of land with very limited space - but i'm sure it must be getting hot enough - cylinder nice and hot to the touch Is there a way to test to see if the fan actually works?? Is there a possibility that the wiring is wrong?The previous owner removed all the lighting wiring - according to something I was reading 'somewhere??' the fan is powered by the same circuit on some models? Oh and is it a case of removing all the rad etc to get at the leccy's properly?? Look forward to some pointers with my new beasty Thanks learned friends

Hi everyone, I'm off to have a look at at used 2009 Evo 250 2T tonight, is there anything bike specific I should look out for on these machines ?? Hope its a good un
