My mate's just cooked his 280 '05 clutch, he was told that only the 04 style clutch pack was available now..so he ordered it,fitted it and now the clutch is bloody heavy(just like all the pre '05 pros that I have ridden). So build up the muscles in your left hand.

Just like ''stumpy'' recommends, I put 75cc of fully synthetic into 5ltrs of optimax--no problems

Or Di-Lithium crystals Captain

ok Doc

The ignition can be advanced a little by filing a couple of slots. I am sure I have the mod' diagram at home .I will dig it out for you

Yup ! that's my point

Indoors

Windlestone...don't antagonise his sort.. I couldn't handle a cider embargo..I have needs

Uh Oh! Check the calendar fella!

That's the spirit lads I can only assume from the few genuine replies that most of the Beta riders are in their garages now,weighing up their response before committing to type. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.. Harrow Bank( Death Valley!) for me tomorrow..then again.. maybe not.

You got a load of sense there mate ! Give Al the Spanner a ring at whites we just got an 06 rev 3 off him and he took the lights off i'm presuming thats what your doing Hope your sorted for tomorrow <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Aw no! he's a fellow Geordie 'anaahl Geordies 0--Southern softies 1 ( Windlestone o.g)

Dear Beta people, Can you help please.. I am trying to remove the petrol tank on my 06 REV3 250cc (just got it today). I am struggling to get it off..is there a special tool or technique I need to use. Any replies welcome

Hee Hee...Munch, I think that went over his head... made it even funnier

Have I missed something here? The TMX report states: ''You can snick it into gear and ride straight from the off. '' I thought that was the last thing you were supposed to do on a 4RT-- they throw a wobbly if you don't give them a couple of minutes at start up? I'm not a 4RT owner so I think someone else should clarify this. Discuss

Oh good I'm not alone.. Everytime and I mean 'everytime' I go on holiday I 'see' sections ,especially at theme parks with their fake rockeries and streams. I feel better now

Ok, Ok..I couldn't spell 'stanctions'. My mates have had a lot of 315s over the years and I recall the 99 was very pokey compared to the 98,2000,2001,2002. It may have been that the previous owner had tweaked it in some way , I just don't know! My personal favourite was my second hand 98 : Excellent for learning on(dropping) , gripped like a limpet and required very little maintenance. I dropped it on rocks..logs..steps..me..it fell off the bike rack at speed..I fell in a river with it (fully submerged and engine running), field stripped it and carried on riding. I sold the bike (at a

Fan??...tic?? sounds like a genital parasite.

Ditto What ya waitin' for?

From what I remember the performance of the engines are very similar i.e torquey. The 99 montesa was the only 315 to have black forks . As usual I am willing to be corrected on these points

Didn't your mother ever catch you watchin' Baywatch in your own bedroom?!! Now that's a bad shock

Thanks for the replies fellas.. I'll pass the information on to the relevant department and I'll keep you posted. Cheers

Appreciate the offer but I'm on family holiday then. Thanks anyway, you're a gent. Wayne

Cheers Nigel Just re-read my last post.. It could have been misinterpreted as a smart-ar5ed comment.. it wasn't intended to be. I have owned 4 Shercos. I am on the look out for a new bike, my knees are going and I can detect a difference in the quality/comfort of the rear suspension on most of the current trials bikes. The Sherco shock is definitely the worst for comfort ( but maybe not performance--I'm no expert--). The Pros are a more comfortable bike for me but I am aware of their 'femma' qualities.. the main Pro problem is grip as I cannot 'drive' my knees into the pegs like I used to . This is why I have followed your postings so closely (I am not a stalker!). As you said the 06 Sherco was not a big step forward in the rear suspension department, so I am looking to other brands. Ta! Wayne

Nigel-- back in Jan you posted this : ''If anything now on a gas gas my complaint is the gearbox ratios which I regard as a serious defect now, affecting a very small % of sections only.'' What has changed in the meantime?

Try Weardale.. I'm sure they have some Teflon coated rocks there !
