[Hebo Casual Tshirts]

Ring apico uk look on there web site for

the number they are the importer for

hebo so if you can get them here they

will sort you out!

[Berko Round 1]

No not for me not paying

[Rev 3 Headstock Bearings - Help]

As copemech say's the only way to get the bearing off

properly is to grind it as far through as possible

without damaging the shaft then get a chisel

and give it a good hit in the slot you have just

ground out it will then crack and just pull off.

As for re fitting it just drop it on the steerer

tube and knock it on using a punch it will not be

to tight to get on.

[New Techno Owner]

The forks on your bike are paioli and they are

both filled with oil not air .The left hand leg

has just a spring in it and on the top is the

preload ajuster ,the right leg has the damper unit in

and no spring the ajuster screw on the top ajusts

the compression damping and works on the oil flowing

through the valve. If you phone beta uk they will be

able to tell you the oil quantity for each leg as these

are different! Hope this is of any help.

[Helmet Choices]

As previously said the shoei has to be the best

as reguards quality,i have one and it is over ten

years old and is still in excellent condition

they are as said vented!

i also have a airoh this is a nice lid but i will

have to see if it lasts like the shoei they say

you only get what you pay for.

[Colonial Wow!]

Yes saw him on it yesterday it was the 125

not sure how he rode it on the road though

as i thought he was not old enough yet.

[Boyesen Dual Stage Reeds]

I have done the carb mod's to my 8 month old 250 and

changed the jets to 27.5 and 145 main, this alone

has made the bike run so much better it has taken

poppy feel right out of it and smoothened it right out,

so much better of the bottom now runs lovely.

[Upgrading My 315]

I have a second hand but only used once kiehin

carb for one of these if interested !

[How Much Difference Between The 250 And 270 Beta]

If your thinking of buying a 270 or 250 and doing this

you might aswell get a 200 if you are new to trials

then the 200 is probably your best bet anyway.

[Rev 3 Noisy Gearbox]

This to me sounds like nothing more than clutch

rattle if you put it into gear and let the clutch

load up if the noise goes this is what it is !

[Colonial]

The way the weather is looking at the moment it looks

a bit as though it might be a bit snow'y here down

in the midlands looks as though we are in for qite

a lot of so wonder what is going to be like

up there!

[Beta Rev 3 270cc]

Andybetarev3 it sounds as though it is the stator that has

gone on your bike to me this is a common fault on

earlier beta's tell your mate he wants to send it to

west country windings i have used them myself

and they offer a good service and quick turnaround.

Abuot

[Smoky Beta]

As said before it depends on oil type and quality

i run 90:1 for multi lap events where the bike

never get's a proper clear out and 80:1 on

road trials where you get chance to get it

properly hot .When you ride road trials most

of the time you notice how much better they

run so much cleaner !

[Anti-freeze]

Most of the coolant you buy for bikes now is coolant

as opposed to anti freeze this is ready mixed all you have

to do is pour it in .You have to be carefull with some

of the anti freeze's as they are not to freindly to

the magnesium alloy's used in a lot of motorcycles!

You really need to change it once a year anyway.

[Possible Dangers Of Unleaded Fuel.]

Yes this is one of my pet hates ,it is not so bad on single lap

trials out in open moreland say but in these multi lap trials

where most peoples bikes never get used over any distances

they run so chocked up and they sit there in ques revving them

i alway,s end up with a banging headache it p****s me off.

[Oil Seals?]

Yes the forks on your bike are paioli and you can get them from

lampkins if this is any help.

[Beta Techno Starting Problems]

Depending on what oil you are using depends on the mix

for good quality semi sinthetic use about 70:1 and for fully sinthetic

about about 80:1 to 100:1 depending on the brand & type.

50:1 is too much oil it will be running oily on that mix

and never run clean!

[Wallace Cup]

I see the wallace cup is looming and would like to ride

does anyone know please is there mode than the one route ?

Thanks.

[Beta 4-stroke]

When you look at all the bikes they are all so good now

genrally the design of them down to the way they ride

but as a total package they all seem to have

there niggly faults most of which are easily overcome

but for some reason it takes the manufacturers so

long to sort them out, problems that go on year after

year witout being rectified cant understand why

they don't listen to peoples feedback and act on it!

[Montesa 4rt Carbon Bits]

My mate has some silver mitani carbon swing arm

protectors going cheap they are second hand but

fine and we live in bedfordshire let me know if

interested!You probably know us anyway.

[Shock Mounting To Swing Arm]

The progressive action on link suspension is done

in the action of the linkages as said on linkless system

it is done internally in the shock which does make them

a lot more expensive to make.

The pro side to linkless suspension really is in the ease

of maintenance no bearings to seize up or wear out

and nothig to get caught on the rocks and damage

like they do on the montesa's always stretching

and cracking them!

[Beta 4-stroke]

Heard the other day that the bike lacks a bit in

the power department not as powerfull as

the montesa's this was from person's in

the know!

[Gas Gas Rear Wheel Leaking From Spoke Holes.]

Just seal oround the sides of the rim tape don't bother

taking it all off job done and you can still tension

the spokes simple as that!

[New Rev 3 Mikuni Carb?]

Funny from day one had a 03 250 and you could not park that

facing downhill otherwise it would flood and be a pig to start.

Got an 06 and that does not do it at all park it on any

incline and it makes no difference still starts perfectly.

this is with a carb as it came from beta no mods so

why do some do it and others not,it has to be due to

quality control on the carbs!

[Manx 2 Day 07]

It is quite a lot of effort in the organising of getting there

and the ferry company are a joke with there prices.

But the trial all makes up for this it is that good the

whole way it's all done etc the scenery the gp week

whole place.Was only going to ride the once last year

but it was that good i have to go again!
