  1. I have recently purchased a bete rev 4t and it leaks fuel from the carb breather pipes when your riding it ,and it's not even on it's side. Is this common place and if so is there a mod/setting for the float hight etc.Thanks
  2. It was the washing bit that probably was there demise then! Just ordered some new ones, thanks for the advice.
  3. Can anyone help ,does anyone know where you can get either alpinestars or the army style waterproof socks i have used these in the past on got on well with them, but i can no longer seem to see anyone selling them. i have been using recently the seal skinz type but these leak after no time at all on my third pair now and given up .Thanks in advance
  4. The water pump housing problems only happened on 04/05 models to my knowledge something to do with a bad batch of castings,i would have thought that most of these bad castings would have found there way to the bin by now!

    No Spark

    If you look back into old posts there is plenty about this in there enough to write a book about!
  6. I think when buying a bike you have take in the overall picture and however good a bike is to look at ,to ride,to sell,reliability, it has to be taken into account not many people have enough money to buy on a whim and put up with what it will cost them if they make a bad choice !
  7. Yes check the fan as stork said further to that it will be a check of the wiring loom and then possibly the generator to check the output is sufficient and stable!
  8. I had a good go on an 08 model yesterday and was very impressed seemed to have plenty of power throughout the rev range, i'm used to beata's and noticed it was lighter and more agile . i would doubt if i would buy one though as i reakon it would be very hard to sell on and you would loose a lot of money on one!

    08 4rt Or Repsol

    I think if you check you will find there are one has the re programmable throttle and one has the standard throttle body. If you check ,there are two list prices for the repsol model

    Overheating

    WHAT YOU ARE REFERING TO IS NOT A THERMOSTAT BUT A COOLANT TEMPERATURE SWITCH !
  12. No your piston seals will be ok they do pop out easily and go back in just the same, you would soon know if the seal had gone as it would be leaking!
  13. If i were you i would get it powder coated it is a lot moreof a durable finish.They come powder coated from new !
  14. All that you can do is lay the bike on it's side find yourself a suitable size peice of bar and big hammer and let it have it, even that will probably damage the spindle beyond repair not much else you can really do without doing a lot more damage!
  15. Split the caliper halves ,remove the bleed nipple from the opposite half to the banjo bolt side place piston side down on a bench and blow them out using conpressed air pop out the seals fit new seals and pistons and re assemble job done. half an hour job!

    2008 Rev 3 Mudguard

    That is because the black mudguards are just bare black plastic hence nothing to scrape off!
  17. BEGG your pardon i know where the confusion may be coming from it was a leamington victory trial that had been cancelled not the VICTORY trial!
  18. What is going on me and friends entries came back on the thursday prior to the bank holiday with slips of paper,ans on them saying trial cancelled for safety reasons!?
  19. As boofont said the last two jackets i have bought have been ALTURA mountain bike one's one 50 one 85 reduced to 35 full vent system all zips have waterproof seals,sholders elbows etc toughened pannels and stayed 100% waterproof for the entire time what else can you ask for!Mail order FREE delivery.
  20. If were you i would buy a mountain bke one they are designed with the same basic principals in mind,you havw a far greater choice,and there not a rip off like the trials gear
  21. Unfortunatly it pays to shop around all the time i always do as the pricing seems to be all over te place i reakon half of them make it up as they go!
  22. When you get them full of water you really need to ge it fired up asap otherwise the water will rust the main bearings this only takes a couple of day's if left,and then you will need a engine strip down to replace the bearings!
  23. After a trial i preasure wash mine ,i have an old road cone just turn them upside down boots that is and stick them over the cone come uo spotless.Then put dubbin on them job done!

    Akropovic Exhaust

    Yes i have one on my bike and am very pleased with it the quality of the pipe is superb,and it seems to make the bike run more cleanly and smoothens out the power it also appears to rev more off the top end. Not sure about them as said being made of titanium though they seem to be to heavy for titanium feel more like stainless steel i work in the aerospace industry and work with both materials frequently!
