Paul, thanks for the tip. I try not to kick the bike like my 500, but who knows. I have four boys riding it so between all of us, I am sure someone or all kick it to hard. The gentleman I purchased the bike from had three broken gears and this is my first. Bottom line is the gear is a poor design. I will work on making it better. I really, really like the bike, just disgusted with these gears. This is just another problem to solve. This particular year of Beta is the issue. Just making a statement on my dislike and bad taste, did not mean to offend. Tim p, I love your Beta as much as you. Frustrated not being able to ride.

just trying to get some discussion going. I like my Beta, just cannot believe the effort they put into this particular part. Gears have been around along time in motorbikes and should not break like this. Just another problem to solve. i am trying to make this bike better, but in the future I will do much research on problems with bikes before I buy. This particular year of Beta is the issue. Just making a statement on my dislike and bad taste, did not mean to offend. I love your Beta as much as you.

I thought about that but then I would have to change the tranny and the motor would be to heavy.

the ten year old part has been replaced five times, yes five times.. That is a poor design! My Gasgas (99) does not have issues. I have multiple bikes and non of the other ones have problems. This part sucks. Beta needs to step it up. I will dump this machine once its fixed, never to buy this brand again. To many other machines without problems.

Beta discontinued the part. I cannot order it anywhere. They are in the process of making a replacement, but nothing is completed. Meanwhile my bike is useless. I choose to finish the work myself, and yes it will cost more but I can always sell some on eBay. Once I have the plans and mold I can make an unlimited number. Made these bikes in a month. 08 Honda CRF 250 frame with a CR 500 aluminum frame and a KTM xc450 frame with a CR 500 motor.

I agree with you. I will have the CAD drawing fill in the spots behind the gear and reinstall it. I just found out BETA has discontinued the part and has an upgraded part with one other gear and shaft for twice the price.

I have a 2008 rev 4t with a broken kickstarter pinion gear. I need a replacement or a cad 3d drawing to build a new on. Any help on this fix would be appreciated. See pic of broken gear and gear with broken tooth. Thanks, Steiner
