Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2005 model way back in 2007, turned out I over oiled my air filter, Sandifords advised me to remove rear mudguard, air filter top/air filter and fire trap, do the reset procedure then it started, a small lesson learnt not to over oil your filter, you could also try a brand new spark plug to

Hi guy's , sorry to hear your having trouble renewing your licence, I had no trouble at all renewing my licence not checked weather I have renewed my membership yet, used to be able to renew membership and licence together, maybe just lucky

If you look round your Beta alloy frame and swing arm you will see various small vent holes to release the inside air pressure when welded

They might be air vent holes they put in before welding, when a part is welded like the hollow section of the swing arm is welded to the alloy bearing part you mentioned the air inside will heat up and increase in pressure and would want to escape leading to a defected joint, so a small hole is put into part of the fabrication to allow the hot air from the hollow section to escape via the small hole in the bearing part

How about trying a new spark plug

Hi, recently purchased a 242 but I find the petrol tank doesn't fit that well around the rear shock absorbers, it's an original white plastic tank not fibreglass, has any of you had this problem?? when I put the long bolt in through the front of the tank and pivot the tank down to its proper seating position on the frame it fouls the rear shocks, the bike is totally original never trialed having spent its life in the warm Italian sun

Scorpa sy250 yamaha engine model or Montesa315 would be a good choice
