    Hi everyone 

    I recently brought a beta evo 250 but unfortunately haven’t had much seat time. I’ve joined up to Nash but don’t know anyone in the area that rides so kinda limited to when I can drag the missis along so obviously not that fun. Looking for a couple buddies that I can tag along with and hopefully learn a bit from. I’m lucky enough to finish work early most days and I’m only 20 mins away so if anyone is popping down let me know would be great to get down there and ride 👍

    Join Bexleyheath and district mcc, most of the venues we use are easy to get to from the M20, M2 or M25.

    Anyone ever fitted a battery powered brake light to a trials bike that has no other lights fitted?

    I have an idea how to do it but would appreciate any info.

    For a daylight mot and indeed daylight use on the road in the UK you do not need a brake light, you do require a horn and a speedo (speedo not tested at mot though).

  3. The grey gunk sounds like water has got in to the box, perhaps from an external source (drowned in water section) or from a water pump leak, there shouldn't be any pressure in the box or clutch case when the engines running, can you run it with the filler plug out and feel anything pulsing? like you say it does sound like a possible crank seal issue.

  4. You need a thread file to straighten it out, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Metric-Thread-Restoration-Repair-File-Cleans-Damaged-Threads-0-75-3mm-Pitch/142073213994?epid=18012049081&hash=item211439342a:g:ilwAAOSw~T9adbMu

  5. Sounds possibly like the sparks system breaking down with heat, it is like 40 odd years old, suggest confirm bared ht lead (no cap just end of lead after removing cap)  to engine metal test when it's broken, see if it can make 5mm gap when being kicked, if not suggest get electronic ignition kit.

  6. Side stands are too puny for starting from, I bent and snapped the bracket on my Beta 300 doing this, it's loosened up a lot since and I have refined my technique for starting quite successfully, being on the left doesn't help, I cut my teeth on right side kickstarts in the 80's.

    Hi there I just bought my son a 2008 Sherco 125cc trails, there seems to be a problem with the cluch?

    When pulling in the lever put the bike into 1st gear on letting out the cluch there's nothing then it stalls?

    I'm new to all this so please no silly answers 

    Thanks in advance

    Does this happen only when it's started from cold, or is it all the time?
