To me it looks as if the trade insert has pulled out causing it not to sit flush I would remove the pet cock and see how flat the tank is with a straight edge . And it looks like some one has tried to melt the tank to get the thread insert out hence why the petcock is not sitting flat . To be honist you best off buying another tank as you will waste your time trying to seal it .I know this is not what you would want to hear but saves a big disappointment of it leaking all the time

Ow my that's one fuebared piston looks like lack of oil and posibly ceased up I bet the barrel was in a mess . I hope u didn't pay too much for it as you print much have done a full engine rebuild.

Ok could be in between gears . Pull out the seal behind the sprocket and see if there is any isues with the bearing . But I gues a full strip down is called for . You could be unlucky and have some gear isues or a bush has gone hard to tell with out seeing it. Good luck

U may find the chain is catching the frame if a bearing goes I would have thought it would be rough at full rotation . Take the chain off and rotate the front sprocket and make sure it rotates smoothly there will be a slight big of resistance but should feel the same all the way round . Chech for play as well up and down not in and out as the shaft does move in and out abit .

Ok I gues they are good then lol

Hi all my friend is looking for a trials bike to buy next month and asked me what the 2000 to 2004 scorpa 250s are like and i have never ridden or seen one in thee flesh so could any one tell me what they are like compared to a beta rev 3 or gasgas sherco basicaly the Italian bikes , Thanks Ian

Sounds like the vent was too small causing too much pressure in the tank and once high enough it forced fuel vapors out and so posibly condensing into fuel again causing this problem. Hence why drilling a bigger hole fixed the problem

I think you may find the wheel rim is off set to the right from the hub . I would get rim re spoked.or trued up .

Ow no iv all ready got a rev 3 just would like to know what the diferent bikes offer off what every one thinks it just a open descousin to see what people like and dislike about there bikes

I agree the beta feels abit harder to ballance in a tight turn but learning to shift your boddy over by hanging over the bike all most like you shift off the bike .iv rode a gasgas once for 10 minutes and liked how light it felt. But I wonder if it's down to the wheel base .

Hi all just a thought what traits do the different bike manufacturers have like gassgass 250 line beta rev 250 sherco 250 line. Just would like to know how they ride differently. i don't want a debate about which one is the best just like to hear what the differences are .

I think things are getting out of hand here. At the end of the day as long as u are on a trials bike of any brand having fun it shouldn't matter to any one what make of bike you ride at least it's more people out and about having fun .

To be fair it's more down to how you look after the bike . If you ride rough a***d you are going to brake things lack of maintenance is for sure a fast way for parts to wear out . Nothing is bomb proof you ask people what is the best street bike a honda yamaha suzuki kawasaki and you will get a mixed bag . Iv owned all four makes and not one was perfect but I still like them all you just have to take it on the chin if something goes wrong and sort it as you would with a beta gass gass sherco and the rest . I think it's more a marketing strategy to get people to fight over what's the best bike when there isn't one. Just my 10 pence on the table

All sorted now flushed out the radiator and on dranine the coolant there looks to be some rad weld gold stuff but I think it was some material from where they fixed the casing . But now the fan cuts in and cuts out so zerorevrev4 you know what to do now lol . Thanks dadof2

No I bought it 2nd hand and it has no weight on it at all . What sort of weight would it have from new thanks

Hi all would a s3 fly wheel weight for a evo fit a rev 3 flywheel chears

Ahh well I had to replace the side casing and some one had used the red oat coolant soo a good flush should fix it I gues

Hi iv noticed my fan runs constantly when the bike gets hot when I'm out riding it and doesn't switch off at all. The water pump is in tact coolant is up to the fill neck . Or is it normale for them to be constantly running when up to a certain temperature. Chears ian

Ok sounds like you have still got a carb ration issue . Or a crank seal gone on the left side of the engine causing oiling up of the plug . I went out on my beta last week and Wass on it for 5 hours and it rode perfectly constantly all day . With it not responding when u try to wheeli sounds like it's bogging out and has no power antill it clears out the unburnt oil . Does it idle , or you could find the float hight is too high flooding the engine on the steep hill decent . Trick one to diagnose with out being there

Hi have you had any luck yet with your bike

And a pic of the outer cover with the two coolant pipes . So i'm not sure what's going on as the new cases for the 06 rev don't have the hole in it its blanked off .
