How would I know? has anyone got any pictures of the mount point changes of the differant swing arms?

Hi, Can anyone help please. I bought a side stand off ebay that was suppossed to be for a 2009 evo. I can't see how it fits as I have two vertical holes on the back of my swing arm but the stand appears to have two horizontal holes. Therfore I think I have a 2010 on side stand. Does anyone have a picture of what the 2009 side stand should look like at all. I mailed the supplier whho told me it should fit any Evo, My understanding was that the 2009 had a differant mount as the 2010 onwards had the swing arm changed to make it stronger?

I heard that you can use the fan motor of a water cooled scooter

I only just stated trialing and I can't say about a Rev 3 but I went from a 1999 Techno 200 to a 2009 Evo 250 and went from being hopeless even on the easy route scoring in the 60's to mid table scoring early 20's and it was just the bike that made the differance. The bike is awesome, starts easily goes over rocky ground no problem so much more tracktable the differance was unbelieveable. As for staying away from the 2009 I would say don't worry if they have survived this long they either don't have the problem or have had the frame changed. Mine has the original frame and has had a hard life as the last owner used it in a disused quarry and it is fine. They are so much cheaper all the advantages of an Evo without paying silly money.

Hi could any one help I have a 2009 Evo 250 and want to buy new plastics, I have seen on ebay bikes advertised as 2009 with 2010 plastics. Do the 2010 plastics go straight on to the 2009 if not whats differant. The 2010 plastics tend to be cheaper and more available. The same for the front fender what years fenders will fit a 2009 bike please.

Thanks, Peter, it was running fine before I had to take the carb off so hopefully it should be OK I noticed towards the end of the trial that the bike was smoking more than normal if it was running to rich would it cause it to smoke?

Thanks for that it says all screwed in and 1 1/2 back so is that clockwise all the way and 1 1/2 back anti clockwise?

Hi can anyone tell me the best way to set up the carb on a 2009 evo 250 I just purchased this bike and arrived at the trial to find that fuel was pouring out the overflow. Stripped and cleaned it and it was ok after but the air screw setting got altered and the bike ran terrible all day. Is there a best way to get to a base setting ie turn the screw clockwise all the way and then back a turn? Do you have to pull the knob out before turning it? Is there a manual for this bike at all?

Would have thought easiest just to swap it with one on your mates bikes

My mates 2005 250 Gas Gas rubbed right through the can, He had to get it welded up and then packed the mounts to get it away from the tyre. I thought it was because he was not exactly a light weight

Jon, I bought a 99 Techno 200 and my thermostat has been bypassed so the fan is always on.

Bisby, The bloke in the Splatshop was really helpful they didn't have them in stock but have ordered in two pairs for me to try. a 43 and a 44. Thanks for the help

Hey mate that is nice. You cant really go wrong for that kind of money. Get it and Hire a big van for the TDW IV and bring all 3 along.

neilh thanks for that, Forma Boulders it is for me then

I was looking at buying a pair of Hebos as my local KTM / Beta dealer sells them but have been put off by a lot of people having similar problems to you. All I can suggest is you tell the supplier you are going to trading standards as these boots are not fit for perpose. If you dont get any joy with that then actually contact them.

I have never been but they do trials there, I think there is some good stuff to go at, I will be taking my Beta as well as the KTM http://www.buttsquarry.com/index.php/about/

Hayup Ship, Didn't know you were on here. Haven't booked yet but never been to Butts so I think I will be going Im trying to get Sweed to go. Are you going if so you are you camping? My caravans a gonna as nowhere to store it but could sort a tent out.

Hi Im looking for some trials boots but want to try them on I live in South Derbyshire and the only place I know of that sells trials boots is Leasure Trail but they only sell Hebo or Sidi. I have heard bad things about the Hebos so was thinking of the Forma Boulder I might even push the boat out and go for some Alpinstars no stops Does anyone know where I can go to try on differant makes in the East Mids at all?

Pindle, I just bought the Beta 200 advertised on here, picked it up Saturday really nice bike only had a play on it Saturday afternoon in some local woods. I need to find a place to practise locally doing the tight turns etc. The bike has been owned by the same person since 2002 and his Dad owned a garage so I suspect it's been well maintained. So was looking for a service manual / ownwers manual but I'm, not sure they exist, I've searched the internet and asked at Leasure Trail (who sell Beta) . I have just seen some info on the thread about a newbie with a 270:-) I'm glad I went with the 200 it's nice and easy to ride. has plenty of power to go over logs and delivers it with no drama or snatch

I bought a set for my KTM to reduce the amount of spares to carry. First off I had, I broke the clutch lever, also they made the front brake feal spongy so have gone back to standard cheap levers.

I tried the Beta website and the only downloads appear to be parts manuals and they only go back as far as 2004. Lapkins appears to be the same, does anyone know if service manuals are available and if not how to you service your bikes?

Hi, Does anyone know where I can get a service manual for a 1999 Techno 200 at all?

I had a feeling the 280 might be too much. A Beta 200 was advertised in clasified on here that is local to me so I am going to have that. Thanks for your advise all.
