I am just waiting for the first video of you riding it... When I get a bike I strip and rebuild. I replace what is worn or damaged and end up with an as new bike. I couldn't do what you do.
To make it worse. I shortened the bolt and could not understand how I mixed it up, only to find the guard behind a shelf 3 months later. To be fair, I stripped the bike when I bought it. lol
Correct, first time I had the front wheel off I forgot to replace the disc guard and one of the caliper bolts protrudes too far if you do that and hits the disc/wheel assembly.
If your bike has upside down forks - 2000. Conventional forks with the air filter cover on the side 2001/2.
I emailed Beta for a manual specific for my model and they send me a scanned copy - very nice of them. If you send me your email address, I will send it on. BTW, mine is a Blue 2001.
Just an update. My fuelling issue was due to the reeds that were not sealing. Replacing the slide cap only improved the issue by 50% before I replaced the reeds.
Does anyone know if you can buy the small o rings from anywhere as brake is working just fluid seeping out of the split and I think air getting in there making brake soft
I learned this the hard way. Just bear in mind that the top mounting bolt also seals the one half of the caliper. If you pump the brakes with the bolt removed, it will leak.
They changed the color, the frame geometry, and the air box. And maybe the CDI. Which means almost nothing in the manual. 2004 had the most changes for the Rev 3`s
Just thought I would share. I am fitting a new disk and pads to my 2001. I would have rebuilt the caliper, but the supplier forgot to order it. When I pushed back the pistons, I noticed that there was seepage from the hose connecting the reservoir to the master cylinder. I believe that this was the main factor to 'loosing' my rear brake continually. The hose is most likely also the original, but it seems odd that there is no clip to pinch the hose onto the fitting.
beta rev3 modifications through the years?

Try polishing the float needle seat with an earbud and some very fine polish. Sometimes it is all that is needed.
