and will sort your fuel leakage problem out completely Well did mine anyway

There was a topic on this not too long ago CLICK ME

I`ve got too say as a relative new comer too the sport I do occasionally get worried about injury so don`t mind the easier stuff but at the same time the last trial I done was quite a challenge (my first normal route) and although I droped a lot of points I can easily say it was my best trial too date. Ok I voted 50/50 but that is mainly dependent on terrain that the course is set out on. Say for example it was all wet slushy mud and wet logs i`d prefer it too be a bit more relaxed, but if it was all streams and rocks/steps I enjoy the challenge! Hope that makes sense but this is obviously all due too my preferances and riding style I guess

most probably! on a serious note though I was gonna bring my tent anyway whiich if you beleive the label its a 3 man but its a comfortable 1 man and a 2 man at a push so if thats ok as well Andy that`d be another tent and car

Fine don`t invite me then!!!!!!

ah I see!

Is anyone here going too Hyde park tomorrow? more specific the inner circle? just want too know if anyone is in knowledge of the parking situation? and would be cool too meet some of you that I haven`t already?

from that quote I take it your not a total non-motorcyclist then?

I must add that my front rim has got a nasty ding in it but still has no problems with the pressure

put a bit of soapy water around the bead then inflate too anything up too around 75psi the tyre will easily take it and when it pops on the bead I usualy leave it at that pressure for a couple of minutes then deflate too around 35 over night and then put too your prefferd pressure Barry

Ok I confess it is my mate that emailed me the item that is the offender!

Right well one of my friends has just emailed me THIS and I don`t think i`ve ever seen such a strange item on ebay?

Just looking through the sanifords ebay shop and noticed this beast of a thing! here

I can see the idea behind the one piece kit but i`m soo glad the two piece exists i`m not slim enough for all that stuff!

Top job Betas` are the way forward

Hmmm right after my 5 month tee-total has now come too an abrupt end count me in for bringing a few bevvies

I wish it was that easy! tried that method for about thirty minutes until I had the `g` clamp and wood idea!

I have been led too beleive ATF ( automatic trans fluid) is the best thing for these beasts and is what I use along with most of the Beta owners in the R2wtrials clan I beleive! and have great results, plus it`s cheap! As for your slight drag as Markymark has said I would take this as normal on the stand I`ve not come across many bikes that you can put on a stand in gear with the engine running and stop the wheel with just the clutch, as long as you can stop with the brake and the engine isn`t stalling or trying too stall too much then all should be well As for your adjustment I think you`ll find your main adjustment up on the lever that little adjuster screw with lock nut, wind him in or out mainly for your bite point adjustment more than anything though

Yep this is my method use a large `G` clamp with the static side and a peice of timber covering just over the rim (spreads the load and something too push against) then another peice of timber on the screw side but just before the rim (sat on top of it you would) then slowly tighten clamp watching everything is in the right place then hey presto of the bead she goes! Another way of re-seating if you are like me and don`t like spending money is too put a ratchet strap around the circumferance of the tyre and tighten just enough to spread the tyre and inflate

Cool hope it all goes back together right for you happy riding

ah ok maybe I should explain my idea a little more then! you could put a very thin layer of foam on the inside or just a thick material? and then glue the cap into the boot using something like evo stick impact glue? Anyway it`s not something i`d ever do personally but just an idea taken from someone elses thoughts? i`ve never personally had too many problems with crushing my toes, but do get many cuts and bruises all over my body from my through your self at it riding style!!! but I don`t think a full suit of armour would look quite right

problem there is the ONLY protection you then have is steel toe caps no ankle support or shin protection etc plus as an ex wearer of these boots ( for work reasons) they are somewhat of a loose fit, I think you would have a lot more troubles riding with these than its worth. Although you can pick up said rigger boots fairly cheap most places and for that fact any steal toe caps are cheap maybe it`d be worth having a go at disecting a pair to see if you could slip the toe caps into your current boots? maybe this will only work with worn/ streched boots but a thought none the less?

I have just had a very similar problem (without the flames!) with my Rev 3 and after stripping the caliper down found one of the pistons had a very slight mark on it plus the seals were past best so I had a quick look and found the whole kit (4 pistons with seals and the little `o` ring center seal) for the AJP caliper here for a very good price ( scroll down a bit)easy enough job but a bit of a ball ache bleading the thing by yourself! HTH Barry

I should have taken a picture I know but I forgot about this thread at the time! I`ve just been round my mates house which it is important too mention has a fair few bikes and his parents are on holiday! but as I walked in the front door there was his RGV250 half stripped down then I get too the kitchen too find a TDR250 that he bought yesterday completely stripped down bar removing the engine! Which I ended up haveing too `help` get out (in other words he stands back too make sure nothing is in my way and directs!!!) Thing is as these are both flat out strokers will he get that tell tale stench out of the house before the parents come home?
