beta boy

bike was completly totaled wasn't even worth buying for spares. frame bent, swing arm bent, crankcase bent, forks bent both wheels buckled etc. im sure you get the picture. the most annoying thing is i had just cleaned and polished it. serviced it, new breakpads, handlbars, grips, levers, throtle. and filled it up with oil and petrol. all of it gone in like a minute. cause it only happened about a minute away from my house

was coming round a corner on my derbi 50cc motorbike. and some stupid women in a pug 106 was on my side of the rode leaving me nowhere to go except headon into her car. and then she decided to just drive off and leave me with the bottom and top half of my leg broken in a toale of 4 places. de-gloved the bottom of my foot, internal bleeding and a dislocated shoulder. nica ah. that happened in august of 2005 and i only just started walking at the end of january and only got back of a 50cc road bike last month. stil havent ridden a trials bike which has anoyed me cause i got a new one and i only got to ride it twice. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b238/betaboy/IMG_0260.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b238/betaboy/IMG_0254.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b238/betaboy/IMG_0248.jpg

ive been a member for a while now but i have not posted in nealry a year because i had a motorcycle accident and i have not ridden my trials bike since then. but i am getting back to trials as soon as possible

think it is sorted now turned out it was the exhaust gasket leaking. the silicone has dryed now and the noise has stoped

was riding my bike today and it started making a i kind off hissing noise thought it was the fan at first but then i held it and started the engine and it still did it. then i though the exhaust gasket could be leeking so i seeled that up still there is a noise. i dont have a clue what it is. i need help. this is only the second time ive riden it and i looks like it is buggered already

i take it the needles arent suppost ot fall out i must off been cause they where very worn and rusty. my dog bones dont have a scratch on em dont think the bike has ever been used on rocks the bash plate is in very good condition

how much would new dogbone bearings be for my year 2000 txt 249. and how do you get them out off the dog bones all of the needles have fallen out but the rest i dont no how to get out

look how crappy the tyres are they wouldnt get you anywhere they would just spin

got a few more questions. -how much coolant does it take. -how much fuel does the tank hold. -where can i got carbon fork gaurds from

you dont pay VAT on helmets i was all set to buy the airoh priced it with vat off and could not afford it because it was not deductable. it's really anoying. i think it is casue it is safety equipment

gonna go colect my txt tomorrow hopefully. ive got a few questions that need to be answered. -what gearbox oil should i use and how much of it should i put in -is castrol tts ok to use as premix oil. if so what ratio should i mix it at. -what is th rear break like to bleed is it a pain in the a*** that takes ages to get the air out or is it straight foward put bleeder on pump lever done

what it make a difference running on leaded fuel because i thought the led was for lubing the cam and valves in fourstrokes. or is it because unleaded is lower octane

is the txt 249 still a competittive bike aprt from the bit of extra weight

found one here http://www.50cc.nl/zoek_res_e.asp?TA=DerSen&GR=carburateur for

how much are keihin pwk's and what would it be like to fit a setup on a txt 249. has anyone got one fitted to a txt, if so what jet sizes needles settings etc. are you running

yeah i have but im unable to buy a bike from ebay because i dont live on the UK mainland. i live in jersey. sold my beta today for

will this bike be a big imprvement over my heavy beta. or should i try and find a newer bike

got my beta bearly sold now hopefully and i have found a txt 249 for sale. it has new seat and rear mudguard plastics. had an egine rebuild new sprokets. for

there is usally a date on the hubs like my 95 says 94, and my mates 97 says 96 and my other mate's y2k rev says 99. so if it says 03 you no you have and 03 unless they have chagd the wheels

dont be cocky. i bet everyone else knew what i ment you cant really call it a power band it is more like a power curve because all the power does not come in a big surge.

the reason for trials bikes not having powerbands cause they dont really have an expansion chamber. on mxers you do and depending on the shape of the pipe is where your powerband differs. like on my 50cc road bike the power band kicks in at 9500 and finishes at 14000. where as before it started at 6000 and fineshed at 11000 with the origional de restricted pipe on it because the shape differs

the only way to polish the beta frame is to remove the protective layer. but if i where you i would not do it because it may look nice when it's polished but wait until your boots rub on the frame and scuff it and all that lovely corsive mud that makes it pit i polished my swing arm and a really regret it, it is really high maintance

mitas are all right i found the rear tyre to be a bit rigid though. the michellin is a much better tyre. but for the price they are great. if you just use your bike for fun and dont take competition to seriously than i would recomend the mitas. but if you want real grip and a nice feel go for the mich,irc,dunlop

i repack it all the time to keep it quiet and the performance good the packing is never really oily and the holes have never been blocked before, well only when i bought it the packing was like oily jelly. i hope cleaning the air filter will solve it cause im selling it soon for a better bike

thanks for you help guys but i think i found the problem a big leaf in my air filter must of been blocking the air flow ill post back if that is the problem
