Hello, After spending all my evenings in the week and Saturday going over the bike to get it in a good ridable condition I took it out today for the first time, it all seemed good for the first couple of hours except a false neutral I kept hitting any time I tried to go north of 4th. Then without explanation it got stuck in gear, I came to a stop and tried to find neutral, no luck, killed the engine and tried to find it but the foot pedal will move a little either way but won't disengage whatever gear it's in (I think 4th or 5th). Anyone had similar issues and/or have any instruction on gearbox/selector dismantling? Regardless of all that, I had a real good time on the bike and I can't wait to get out on it again.

Thanks for the help, I had the carb top and it fitted fine so that's all good. Someone I know also owns a techno and he's sent photos of where his brake reservoir is, no where near where mine was! The pipe isn't long enough so I'll be putting a new one on.

Okay thanks guys, I've ordered one from Trials and Tribulations after a chat with the guy on the phone he seems confident that the VM26 part fits whichever it may be. While having a clean up of the bike earlier around the carb I found that the rear brake resivoir was cable tied in place! It's got the braked attached to it and I can see a hole in a frame cross member which looks like it should be for it, does anyone know if the resivoir sits above or below the frame? Above looks like it would obstruct the plastics, but below it seems to obstruct the throttle cable and/or whatever the electrical box there is. Anyone with any idea or even better photos of their bike would be much apreciated

The bike is a Beta Techno 250, I've been told it's got 1997 plastics but was told when I bought it that it was a '96. It was road registered in the UK on a P reg so that ties up with 96/97

I've just got myself a Beta Techno 250, my first trials bike, however it seems asif it's got a bodge as the carb top rather than a proper part. I've looked to try to ID the carb and I see no writing on it. I measured the internal diameter on the engine side and made that 28mm. I've searched and searched and can find people saying that the Techno 250 was fitted with a VM26 and others (although much less) say VM28. I cannot find parts for a VM28, but I can find parts for a VM26. So I ask: 1) Would the top be interchangeable between both regardless of what model it actually is? Could somone supply me with the thread size on a VM26? 2) How can I get a definable ID on the model? Is it just the ID on the engine side or is there somthing more to it? Thanks very much
