You can install 6" rise bars. Bars too low at your height will be very uncomfortable. Maybe move pegs back a little to give you a stable triangle riding pos. Also try rolling bars forward a tad.
I use a camel back sometimes and dont want loads of stuff clanking around in there. The gear lever was always in the air box at any trial any time. Bloody things were always falling off until I went oem again. Now I ride a Beta so not a problem.
I took to carrying a spare gear lever in a plastic bag in bottom of the air box in long trials. Ziptie an allen key for the air box screw to the clutch hose.
Sounds like you need to replace the gear shift shaft. It will be broken inside. Can be done without an engine split. You need to take the side casing off and the clutch basket off to do it.
In the old days it was an engine split to do this.
Yup that's the bit on the shift shaft that breaks off that I mentioned in my post. Usually happens when the shift lever gets a good wack from a rock or something in a fall. Proper pain in the a*** job. Glad you found the problem.
PS, I called it! Been there done it my friend. I feel your pain. While you have the motor apart take the opportunity to change crank seals and output shaft seals etc.
These engines are prone to a selector shaft piece breaking. This normally leads to a gear box that only changes up (I think) The only solution is to split the motor and replace the shaft. I dont think that that is whats wrong with yours but be aware. 2012 onwards, the shaft can be replaced without a strip down. I had to do this twice on an 05 bike. and twice on my 13.
I just don't get the e bike thing. I'm riding a 19 Beta 4T and to me it's all about that lovely motor doing it's thing. Lovely to listen to and feel and lovely to ride. E bikes? Nowt there for me.
I have been riding trials for 30 years and my 19 300T Beta is the first bike that I have had that will not start in gear. To say that starting a trials bike in gear is dangerous is crazy. If it starts in gear with the clutch pulled how is that dangerous? I am very interested in the idea of trying a slimmer clutch stack if it means I can start it in gear. I am a reasonable rider and not hard on clutches so this interests me.
Thanks for all the info given here.
I just got mine (Factory edition} yesterday and trialed it today at a local event. It's going to take a little getting used too after years on a gasser 250. Engine braking being the biggest thing to learn!!!
I would drill a hole through the original top clamps in to the steel bar . then tap it out and put small bolts in it to stop it rotating forward. There will be a massive turning force there.
Difficult to put any weight on the front wheel like that.
The flywheel can be modified to reduce its weight. however, ride it in the winter first to discover the best thing about that motor. They are amazing in the mud.
New boots are horrible whatever they are. Very stiff but they soften up fairly quickly.
Not true. Gayerne gortex boots are like slippers from new. Not stiff just comfy and bone dry!!!. Expensive but the best money I ever spent on any gear item. And I have ridden MX, Enduro and trials for 35 years.
Not much to do. Air filter is under rear fender. Clean and oil it. Job done. Gearbox oil lasts forever. Change it every now and then use ATF. Go ride it and fix when something breaks which is very seldom. Brilliant bike.
