Hi all, does anyone know how to adjust damping on these Rock Shocks? I'm told we should open up the valve every couple of mths anyway.. 😊

Hi Spen, i notice ur photo was from 2006, have these clutches been around for 14 yrs?

Yep thanks for that, is my first Beta after many different bikes over 45 yrs. Shame we have to go through all this fuss but am refilling with Nanotrans tomorrow before a couple of hrs training so we'll see. Might have to change again as you suggested to remove all old oil. Regards..

Tyres yeah, lanyard done, sprocket done..thanks Impressed with torque in 2nd gear..

Ok thanks, I'll hold back before trying shims, and complete a hard 'run in' with oil change. (ps - we started Trials on the Army BSA B40's back in 1972 but far from being anywhere near Expert. Funnily enough still got one for Classic Twinshock, 1964, with no 'drag' but 'slip' - LOL)

Hi, thanks for all your input and will be trying various suggestions from you and others. Not keen on ATF but may try it all else fails. Gonna run it in more for a couple of hrs then try GP 10 etc. Unbelievable that we should have to start messing around with plates, springs or washers on a brand new 2020 bike. No, its not my first Trials bike, had em all in 45 yrs but never a Beta. Rgds..

Hi, thank you for this, am going to try GP 10 first, after running it in for a couple more hrs..

Hi, thank you for your advice..

Thanks for your reply, going to try GP 10 first..

Exactly, amazing that a firm like Beta with so much experience cant get this right.

Thank you for this info, I will run it in for a couple more hrs and a trial in 2 weeks then try this GP 10 as you and others have suggested. Shame Beta cant get this right after so many years in production. Its my first Beta in 45 yrs of Trials n Enduro and looking forward to trying this smaller engine. Is everything else ok on your new 200? Rgds..

Hi, quick question if I may, which I know may have been covered before on older Betas but this is new. Slight clutch drag ie, not disengaging instantly which is frustrating on a new bike but im told (having never owned one before) that it is common on Beta and will need a good 'running in' and oil change. On questioning the oil type/grade we all seem to have our own personal ideas and preferences indeed reasons why one is better than the other. A couple of dealers suggest either Putoline NANO TRANS or GP10, others with good riders suggest part synthetic, not fully synthetic and others good grade 4T 10/30 or 10/40. Some have recommended a clutch mod but surely that isn't nec on a new 2020 model - is it? Your thoughts on this subject indeed with suggestions (and why) would help me no end. (Ive had just about every type of bike during the last 45 yrs but never a Beta or this problem) Regards, Bill (Tue 04 Feb 20)
