I did do a proper exhaust burn and repack. It also seems intermittent. When I had the exhaust off, I checked the top of the piston and it seemed clean enough. Only stained brown.

Thanks, that is what I was missing.

Thanks. I have that. I am looking for an owners manual.

Thank you!

Hi All I am trying to track down a fuel leak from the tank area. How does the little plastic tank cover get removed? I have tried prying it off, but am worried about breaking it. Cheers

Does anyone have a pdf of the 2001 Rev 3. I have the 2003 manual, but would like to get the correct model. Thanks

I found the 2003 manual, still hoping to get a 2001 manual somewhere. The floats seems good as up and extreme down doesn't cause bogging down or revs racing. I suspect the flywheel seal due to the time it takes to reoccur being constant. If it was fuel, it could happen anytime.

I really hope you are wrong I removed an extra flywheel weight recently and everything felt good.

Hi All I have had my Beta for about three weeks now and am loving every moment. I have a off-road history, but the trials fascination was finally getting too much. I have gone through the bike systematically and have a wishlist of parts I am waiting on. Trials is very rare in South Africa and spares is a big headache. I have sourced a second hand air box as mine was pretty abused in its life. I am waiting for new carb rubbers as well as the front manifold is showing cracks. The issue I require help with is 'airleak' that seems to become more noticeable if I ride for +/- an hour. The revs then almost don't drop at all. The carb has been cleaned and the bike runs fine for the first while. I have to ride +/- 3km to my playground, so the bike warms up reasonably quick. I don't loose any oil, so I suspect the flywheel side seal is gone. Do I need to split the motor to replace it? Any idea why the bike gets worse after the hour period - I do have rest breaks in between? Cheers

Hi I am joining up after buying a 2001 Beta 250 last week. I am busy reading the Beta thread, but might ask some questions as I get stuck. I am 20+ hours into my project, with some niggles remaining. Trials is awesome. I ride trails with a WR450, but the trials bug has bitten. I even thought I could ride before.
