Looking to get a Beta road legal. It's already reg'd, I've got a decent insurance quote too.
However, in relation to the number plate - is there a legal minimum requirement on the size?
Is this enforced by the law or is there an exemption for 'competition' bikes used on the road?
I've seen the YOU HAVE USED WORDS OR A PHRASE WHICH ARE NOT PERMITTED ON THIS WEBSITE. PLEASE DELETE YOUR POST/TOPIC. DO NOT TRY TO CIRCUMVENT THE FILTERS IN PLACE ON THIS WEBSITE site where the plate sits below the rear mudguard, (i think this is plastic - but
would it have to be made of metal and reflective to be legal?)
Could I get away with yellow plastic vinyl stuck on the mudguard (about 11cm high and an
average of 9cm wide) with the registration letters just stuck on
or
would it have to be made of metal and securely attached to the mudguard.
or
am I just being to fussy and get away with anything in reality as long as I've got insurance, Mot, and tax?
Would anyone know where I could find out the legal status - or is a trip to the police station the only way to find out for sure? (don't like the sound of that mind!)
Clutch master cylinder has a tiny weeping from where the clutch lever exerts pressure. Have the correct seal kit from Lampkins, is it simply just a case of draining, fitting new seals, re-filling. Will it require bleeding like brakes?? plus what fluid is best to use.
Have seen thread on here re: correct anti freeze to use on rev3. I've been looking and think I need to use the anti freeze with propylene glycol (as opposed to the normal ethylene glycol). Is this correct?
However, I have major problems sourcing the stuff. A (semi) local supplier sells neat propylene glycol in a minimum of 25L (cost
have another question regarding paint and hope the purists don't wretch at this but.......painted my TY250 purple and yelllow.
The purple is a (beautiful???) Halfords metallic but I can't seem to find a decent lacquer that'll take to it (and not bubble up the paint) AND remain fuel proof. Anyone got any recommendations ?
hi, have had a TY250 (with drum brakes) for seven years and after doing a few trials have got myself a 2001 Beta 250. thing is...the brakes seem a totally different kettle of fish when compared with road and enduro bikes.
How do I get the pads separated (even if its just a little bit) away from the disc itself so i can check the surface of the pads.
I have removed the top of the reservoir andd tried pushing the calipers (gently) from both sides but this seems to have no effect in getting a gap between the pads and discs that will make re-assembly an easy task!
I have had a look at the brake lever end (and please forgive the lack of technical terms here) and have removed the rubber boot to see what the brake lever pushes on. (master cylnder adjuster????). inside there was a piece of plastic with a hole in the middle - should I slide this further out?...if so how far can I pull it - or should I leave this well alone.
should I not worry about getting a visible gap between pads before removal? or is there a neat trick to bypass the problems I'm facing. If anyone can offer any help it would be greatly appreciated (cos I'm having the same problems with the rear brake too).
