  3. Just a quick word of worning whilst we are in this deep freeze, i tried to start my beta rev 4 yesterday and the kick start

    was locked solid after a bit of head scratching i checked the coolant level and couldt see it in the top of the radiator,

    so i put some warm anti freeze in and poured a few litres of warm water over the engine and radiator,

    tried to start it and she fired in to life. i have now emptyed the rad and refilled with anti freeze and shes

    now all wrapped up. dont think i will be that lucky again !!!!!!!

  4. when i remove the 10mm bolt is there a spring behind it ?

    and do use the screw to turn the screw or just push it in ?

    i think it is the cam chain as its a spradic rattle and not happening at the same time

    every stroke.

    but if not is there any other sympton to say its the idler gear

  6. i was out yesterday riding in a steep wooded hillside and found my bike was leaking petrol from the carb vent tubes

    on to the sump guard, i moved them to miss the sump guard and leak on the floor but still found the bike to smell

    strongley of petrol. would the lampkin carb modiforcation stop this from happening ? i havent noticed it before, mind you

    it is only 4 weeks old, its an 08 300 rev 4. if this carb mod fixes it how do i get the carb out ?

  11. no i had it running for nearly 20 mins, what drew me to it was it was running like a bag of spanners

    and wouldnt tick over, there was steam coming from the fins of the radiator but no fan. it has always come

    on normally after this length of time.

  12. just been out for a good ride out today and my 2008 300cc raga ran as sweet as a nut all day,

    i have just come home washed if off and now the fan wont come on, can any one please

    tell me where the temp sender unit is and what it looks like or what colour cables do i conect

    together to test if its the sender unit or the fan

    thanks
