I've got a 2012 Oset 16 24v that my youngest has now started riding. I'm about to invest in a boost bikes battery to reduce the weight and give him extra riding time but I've got a question about the electrics. Is it possible to upgrade the electrics to those on the newer bikes to get the more flexible speed /power/ throttle response controls and the magnetic cut out?

Many thanks for the replies so far. I love bikes and couldn't be without one, but after years of recreational riding and commuting, there's just too many hazards out their. I don't want to be the victim of another SMIDSY like that poor copper yesterday. The crunch came last september when I was travelling home. There are two main routes and the normal one was shut, I assumed for some ongoing work. I travelled down the other route and after a couple of miles hit a 7 mile queue of traffic which I slowly filtered. When I got to the front of the queue, there was a harley in the hedge with the rider looking very dejected and his missus being loaded into the back of an ambulance. I ended up getting home about an hour late to find my missus almost beside herself. The main route home had been closed by fatal where a car pulled out and forced a motorcyclist into an oncoming lorry. She's heard it on the news and cause I was late she did the 2 + 2 = 7 and was thinking the worst. Anyway enough of that miserable stuff coz trials riding is much safer, I think. Off to order some putoline nano-trans and working out how to change the gearbox oil on this thing.

Hi all, Over the last few years I've become more and more disenchanted with road riding & finally gave up 6 months ago after 23 years. I still had an itch for two wheels that cycling just couldn't scratch and so last weekend I picked up a 2003 250 Rev 3. I've had four brief rides and fallen off a couple of times and can't remember the last time I had this much fun on a motorbike. I must admit it isn't perfect and have experienced the dreaded clutch drag issue. I've already searched this forum & will be carrying out the clutch fix when time allows. I've also downloaded a copy of an owners manual from the beta website, albeit for a later model. I thought I'd post here to get any comments or handy tips specific to this model. Looking forward to taking part in this fantastic sport and sharing experiences with everyone here. Mybonly regret is that I didn't try this earlier.

Just a quick post to say hi. I'm a 39 year old who has just given up road riding after 23 years. I've spent the last six months without a bike & couldn't take it any longer, so went and bought a 2003 beta rev 3. After 8 days of ownership and four brief sessions I'm hooked. Fallen off a couple of times and jumped up laughing, brushed myself off and carried on. That wouldn't have happened on the road bike! I'll head off over to the Beta forum & browse about the others but looking forward to sharing my experiences and learning from the experience of everyone else.
