More Collectable Than An Rtl?

New Frame?
If it is a four banger it'll probably have the ktm engine used in their enduro range. Cant they manufacture a rev 3 (2 stroke) and a rev 4 (4 stroke)?? Ill send an email to beta, doubt they will reply but who knows??

Torque Specs
How does moderately tight sound?? If you email john lampkin or the beta factory i think you can get a list of the settings. However im going on holiday to italy and may pop into the beta factory so will pick up a list of torque specs and some goodies whilst there!!

Night Time Trials
I imagine that they are quite difficult as unless you are a rabbit or eat lots of carrots you wont be able to see..........hmmmm glow in the dark markers No seriously the evening ones are apparently easier due to people taking less effort in riding (just want to get away from the missus)

Mid-pipe Repacking
No thats what we do with cars- leave them on a farmers field on fire!!
-
Mid-pipe Repacking
with my mates DT50 exhaust we filled it up with petrol and left it to soak then set fire to it for fun That cleaned it good! As for the mid-pipe having packing in it, i alsways thought there was a mesh type stuff inside it-no packing??

20" Or 26" Trials Push Bike?
i always thought that my 20" megamo felt more like my motorbike. Sooo much easier and as for the pinch flats i always found 20" wheels to be less of a problem than 26" Go for a megamo/monty as they are much better quality than any of the others

Washing Your Bike

Gasgas Pro 05
I know, just remove as much of that crappy grease that comes with them and change it for waterproof stuff
-
Loading A Van The Kinell Way
WELL that ones up for debate
-
Gasgas Pro 05
Boiling water and a blow torch always mean they near enough fall out. With the new bearings gently prise seals off and put some waterproof grease inside. Simple :boldblue:

Practice From The Comfort Of Your Computer
Well who pi**ed in your cornflakes this morning?? The construction yard one is definitely more realistic as the gas gas can snap in it!!

New Tyre Not Seating Right?
The car shop i took mine to blew it up to 70psi before it would seat. If you do inflate it high, hide round a corner in case it does explode!
-
Which Model
No offence but this doesnt make a lot of sense. The betas are all pretty similar and most parts fit other bikes. A little used 02 is better than a nackered 03 isnt it?? Me and stu both have 02's for sale and they both appear to be in better condition than the doggish 03's on ebay etc

4-art
Whats a 4-art?? If its the montesa 4rt you are thinking of, the 125 wouldnt work very well i dont think?
-
Which Model
Have you sold that yet kinell?? I would consider buying it if it didnt turn all by itself and if the price was to suddenly drop to

What Gear Do You Use?
I too always ride sections in 2nd, even more since i dropped 2 teeth from the front sprocket. It gives a good halfway between the old 1st and 2nd so it will climb aswell as having the go for a step etc
-
Excited
Just put water in if you arent going to ride for very long

How Much Would You Pay Fore A New Tlr
Do you know who this rider is?? Ive also seen a cotswold with a bsa engine in and it sounded lovely Both the one in the video and the bsa one were at the phil king trial on sunday!
-
New Topic
I feel that there is too bigger gap between classes. For example the intermediate class have no hopping or skipping just tight turns, big climbs etc yet the expert route there is hopping about and big steps and drops. I feel that the intermediate riders arent prepared for the expert route. There is however a class where half inter and half expert are ridden but this is only recently i think.

Sy 250f
On the SSDT entry list it said that he was riding a 4t scorpa.

2006 Beta Plastics
Including frame stickers etc??

Scorpa - Engine Query
Get practising on these as i find that there are lots in the summer months as there is so much grip. As for the fan thing mine runs all the time as i dont trust my semi-broken thermostat. Have you put anything on the frame yet eg carbon fibre??
