No i have seen them on the beta web site i think , i have mine off anyway i like it a bit more responsive even in the mud it still grips well!

Fuel kept in bulk does not go off very readily but put it in your tank where it is allowed to breathe and the octane rating goes out the window about a month is all you wil get out it being left in the tank before it's had it.

You can get the barrel re plated i'm not sure if lampkins do an exchange service on the barrels .There is a company called Langcourt engineering that do a replating service,they advertise in the tmx most weeks.As for a piston as siad just go to lampkins they will have all the bits in stock you will need!

I presume that you are refering to the top yokes as apposed to the fat bar adaptors that allow fitment of the larger bars to the standard mounts!

The fat bar adaptors will fit on a early rev 3 just th

I knew they would have to go a bit bigger than the 250! And there was talk of the 400cc KTM top end being able to slot in too! not sure if that is still on the Betamotor website but was when they first came out? Mad4it did you here it running? was it any louder or still the nice humm like the 250? It sounds like the 250 'i see there are five of them running up there and all are still well ,apparently they tread on well on the road the blokes on monty's they just come sailing past them on the road.The 280cc bike is running within the top dozen or so can't be bad! I take it that would be Jordi pascuet then?.... he is the bloke that rode the world rounds a without a minder for the last couple of years!!! Bloody hero on those sections! Thats's the man.

There is a rev 4 up in scotland and it is 280cc aparently the 08 ones are either coming in as 280's or there will be kits available to buy as a upgrade!

Yes a very good trial i have ridden it about four or five times can't remember off hand.The clubman route is a lot easier, the expert one is another kettle of fish very hard in some groups. Iwould say that a rider of average ability should be able to ride and get through most sections ok!

They do go on fairly redily ,you can swap the tick over screw to the other side on mine you just remove the grub screw and swap. The only part that's a pain is the choke is on the wrong side and you can't do much with that unfortunatly.

The 2.9 sherco is not 290cc it is 270 they just badge it as that!

You can't please everyone all the time ,i had a really good day out on my bike and had fun that's all that count's in my book.

Yes if you get a peice of tube slightly larger on the ID and just under on the OD push the seal on the g/box shaft and drive it in,this will keep the seal from distorting on assembly which will lessen the risk of it leaking.Hope this is of help to you!

Had a really good day today riding in the trial this is one of my favourite trials the weather was so nice it made it!

Tone i see you have not changed the jets this is a really good move i changed mine on my 06 and it runs so well now all they cost is a fiver 27.5 pilot 145 main .

I use 55cc to 5lts thats 90:1 & for the road 62.5cc that's 80:1. Hope this is of some help!

What are you on!

Yes i'm riding again i think it's the fifth time for me really good trial,hope to finish this year ,last year for the first time did not complete as my flywheel fell off was gutted !

The spacers on the front wheel are the same size and the washer goes on the right hand side,this is fitted when the speedo drive has been removed!

I use beta pads in the front which are galfer ones and gold fren in the rear these are harder compound and last so much longer in wet conditions. The APICO pads are good they are made by gold fren and just have there name on them i think .These are all good quality pads.

Here in the uk the trials scene alway's used to be a winter sport it still is really in local trials but the national trials run all year round, seems funny you only run trials in the better weather .

Sounds silly but try putting in a new spark plug this can also cause these symptoms plus it's the first cheap step to take.

I'm riding looking forward to it, the weather is not supposed to be up to much never mind will still be good.Rode last year & it was frozen solid the going was like riding on glass could hardly stay upright.

This is quite common when the pads get low the mud and water chews the pads away and they high in the middle causing a soft brake combine this with being wet aswell and you have the reason for your problem!

As twinshockdude said the number plate is not part of the mot it does not even need one on for the test took my 03 beta in for its first mot without and they never even questioned as to why there was not one on the bike . All they do is advise if they think it's not legal for whatever reason.
