UPDATE: full wave rectifier worked great

thanks for the reply....i will put a full wave rectifier on and see neil

Hi, my bike is a 2015 T2 300cc Evo, it runs the 12v halogen light on the front .....i would like to change this to an LED lamp ...my question is i see on the wiring diagram that there is a regulator in the wiring system is this just a voltage regulator rather than a regulator / rectifier as the voltage to the bulb is AC ...not ....DC so is my issue either the regulator is just controlling rough AC power from the stator and i need to fit a rectifier to convert to DC or is my regulator faulty any ideas please Neil

thanks both for the info , but the issue is the stop nut on the brake pedal this dose not allow for full travel of the foot pedal when in its set position for riding , remove this nut and bolt and you get full travel of the piston thus pulling fluid through lovely , once bled put the stop nut and bolt back in the correct place for your travel liking and away to go cheers Neil

can anyone help please, i cannot get the brake fluid to bleed through the from the master cylinder to the caliper , i have put a brand new seal kit in and everything is clean and tight , ive bled many hydraulic brakes in my time so not a novice ....but i cant fathom out what is wrong here, other than a possible score in the master cylinder ( which looks fine) is there a special technique that i need to know, the banjo fitting id higher than the fluid level so i cant see how gravity can help cheers Neil

Thanks Dan, Yes its 12-vac direct from the stater on tracing back i found poor connections (mucky corroded) at the ecu location, there are connections there regards Neil

Hi, any ideas would be a great help ....my 12v font lamp has stopped working (bulb is fine) i have measured the voltage across the switch and with a bit of throttle it maxes out at 5 volts ...is there a regulator tucked away somewhere i need to check cheers Neil

its the shape of the frame , tank, and mudguards ect ....if they haven't changed from 2015 to now .....or ...2015 down ill be ok ....does anyone know of any differences in models say 2014 to current...did anything change

Hi please can anyone help ive acquired a Beta Evo 300cc (2015) but it has no decals fitted, no im not looking to make an older bike look newer ....but im finding it hard to get a full sticker kit for this year ....now my question will any of the newer / older decal kits fit this model ....i have seen some lovely off brand decal sets but are advertised for 17/18/19 years Cheers Neil

many thanks for that ...i presume you just put the desired amount of oil in each leg at the open end(nut removed) and just tighten things back up is it

Hi, can anyone advise if there is a simple way to change the fork oil in a beta rev3 (2003) with out a strip down cheers Neil

Hi and thanks for the very useful information and will take it on board My riding will not encounter "undercuts that need instant power response ..im to old in years for that type of danger ..putoline light is avalable in my local shop so i will Go with that Thanks again Lineaway Neil

Whity .....wonder why i nerver thought of that

that's not a bad idea (just for curiosity

Fuchs owns the brand silkoline

How simple was that....i asked for a GOOD reason not to use this oil and it has taken 4 pages to get it ....now i wont be pedantic and ask what the aditive is ...but if you wish to explain more i will read with interest ....but i will drain and flush the gear box and put putoline light back in

Nice one .....but c'mon lets look at it as a whole .....sceptic's:.... oh no don't use that "omg that.s not in the hand book ....your a cheapskate...and a dumb ass (but with not one GOOD proven reason not to try it ).....now the words above are not meant to be condescending...but words that have been used previously Now the optimist ... as advised by a member above "try it and see and report back" which i did .....and i did say i would report back..with no adverse affects ....this dose not make me chemical engineer or scientist ....but i ave proven one thing ...and that is that so far this oil has been ok for how i ride my bike i do appreciate all the time members take to reply....and i have had some real good advice and help on this forum .....but i also have an opinion but most of all i am testing this oil and seeing the results .....and i think you have to respect that The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits Read more at: https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/albert_einstein_148851?src=t_limits

And there with in lies the contradiction...."use what the manufacture recommends" ...but ATF is ok

Automatic transmission fluid?

so really good stuff then , think of the hard work those components go through

i appreciate Beta is not on the list, from memory i think an oil change comes in at £8 ...now each change comes in about 20hr riding (im not sure surely all types of engines have bearings and bushings , not sure about phosphor as you can see advice does vary, thats what is interesting about the topic of oil

No Worries my friend, discussion is good ......but as you may have read....some members have used or know someone who has used 80/75w oil and some members are dead against using anything other than what is stated by the manufacture. Now i have 10 liters+ of the oil stated in the discussion which is GL4 (as stated by cascadeimp1) is the code rated for motorcycle wet clutches ) this means i have many years of free oil changes if the oil is ok to use (i say ok to use) it may not be the best or what is advised by the manufacture ( which would have been advised as it would have been seen as a general purpose oil which is readily available and most certainly not the best oil avalable )...so i thought i would give it a go ...and to be perfectly honest i have had no clutch issues or gear change issues at the moment.....now the question is do i continue to use it

Easy Tiger ,,,,was only trying it out as part of the discussion so where do you see the problems arising by using this oil then?

Update : i have been running now with the FUCHS .....TITAN CYTRAC MAN SYNTH SAE 75W-80 and have seen no issues (granted im no experienced rider doing tricks and hops but i have ridden regularly up my local forestry which can be challenging Neil
