I currently have a 16 300 evo. My friend has a 280 trs and i cant pinch it off him enough, i absolutely love the feel of it. Super smooth, brilliant grip and feels like a push bike in comparison to the beta. It has a dellorto carb and is far more reliable than the finicky keihin. I will be changing my beta for one in the new year. Id also like to add that i have ridden each of all the latest bikes and for me (clubman) it is the best of the bunch

Msm are specialists but you must have squeaky clean driving history, no points, claims, etc I got my mine insured through carol nash in the end. But its getting very hard to find cover on trials bikes now

Thanks very much for the ideas, they all make sense, il get cracking with a few of thoses, thanks again

Ye its from riding, i always dry out airbox and clean carb after every ride and wash. Plug is still in as iv sometimes had to drain airbox mid trial. Iv seen the plastic covers but wondered if bike would get enough air if fitted with one. Cant understand how my bike is letting water in when most people with betas i speak to have never had an issue

I always run tape on seat cover joint. Iv siliconed around mudguard joint and exhaust hanger, iv also put fish tank filter material over top of shock and still water getting in......

My 2016 evo 2t is getting water in the airbox and then getting into carb causing it to get dirt into jets. Then bike runs rough. Iv tried a few things to stop it but with little success. Any tips are welcome, surely theres a few ssdt riders out there that know how to water proof a bike??

I dont remember an issue first ever time riding it but that could of been down to excitment haha definitely been an issue since, so id guess its always been there, although it does appear to be getting worse. Other riders have had a go and agree its not right

I have tried a bp5es plug as recommended by local riders, but it made little difference, and felt it rsn slightly cleaner on a bp7es. I havnt tried an iridium plug yet but have on previous bikes and thought very little change. Going to take carb apart AGAIN and see if i can spot anything amiss whilst fitting a 45 pilot

Thanks everyone. Had the bike since October and ridden every week.done first service already. Cleaned carb out numerous times and still no better. Tried adjusting air screw which made minimal difference, lifted needle clip to middle position which made it worse, so back to standard settings on carb.it comes with a 48 pilot so iv got a 45 to try in it. Really frustrating as rest of bike is lovely

I have a new 2016 evo 300 2t. Bike runs a little rough off initial throttle, id say first 3rd of rev range. Iv tried adjusting air screw, moving needle clip, couldnt improve, so back to factory settings for now. Has anyone cured this problem, a few riders iv spoke to seem to have same issue

Im open to trying a different make but still want some comfort, has anyone tried the sidi?

I currently have the gaerne oiled boots, such a comfy boot, but after a good soaking they become extremely soft and i nearly ripped my little toe off at the reeth, so has anyone tried the standard gaernes? Are they a little tougher when wet?

My uncle has a 2011 ossa 280, the clutch is very heavy and really spoils the bike, i previously had the same year bike and mine was lovely and light, same as other bikes. Is there a way of lightening it, maybe removing a couple of springs?

Any ideas when any info on 2016 model will be a available??

Im looking for people's reviews on the new dunlop gp, trying to decide whether to try one for the reeth 3day or stick to the trusted mich x11 Bike is a 4rt with morad rims

Never got round to repairing old pump,sold bike a while ago, now on a 4rt. The actual pump once removed from plastic housing is just a cheap made in china part, available on ebay for about £30. I couldn't seperate the fuel pipe from the pump though, but if you could find a way or made new fuel lines it could be a cheap repair, i just needed bike running again so fit a full kit for piece of mind

Whats the best master cylinder to fit 315, iv done every other check but brake is still crap, so time to ditch the grimeca master, which masters will fit my bike??

Ye i have showa on my 315, it is very good, but when i rode the two 4rt's back to back there wasnt a great deal of difference, showa felt slightly plusher/smoother but hard to say it was £1100 better

Is the repsol worth another £1100?? Iv ridden both, but cant make my mind up, my concern is possible poor resale value on a non repsol bike

I have 2000 315 mont, iv already changed the caliper got the newer ajp one, put front brake is terrible, iv bled the system through and checked caliper pistons, all ok. So im thinking the issue may be with the grimeca master cylinder? Any tips or am i wasting my time with this old style master cylinder?

Ye as Milly says, if you take the actual pump out of the assembly it is just a cheap made in China part which are available on eBay for next to nothing. The whole assembly is a KTM part used in a few of there bikes. Problem I had was trying to separate the fuel lines from the pump as they seem to be heat shrunk plastic onto the pump. I kept the old pump assembly though and intend at some point to try make a good one out of it. I fitted a complete kit as it comes with the regulator aswell, didn't fancy stripping and rebuilding the bike twice to find out I'd incorrectly presumed it was just the pump at fault

Ye mine has the older del on are parts still available for a full engine rebuild, engine is knocking unfotunatley, unsure on whether its top or bottom as havnt looked into it as its always had a slight knock but recently gotmore noticable also is it possible to convert to fat bars without having to buy expensive new top yoke clamp?

Bilks I found that site late last night. It seems helpful It's year 2000, first Showa model. Stock bike apart from newer twin pot front caliper, h&d dog links and 2004 plastics

Yep lewis I agree, rear end feels fine as I have those fitted, its the front that feels numb, may just be suspension settings, need to find a rough guide for setup
