Mike where are you located?

I am a Scot from Glasgow. Live and ride trials in Arizona now. The trial says Kingman however the trial site it is approximately 20 KM or so away from Kingman on a Indian land with NO public transportation. People flying in from Europe are best to fly in to Las Vegas and rent a car there as it closer than Phoenix (where I live). There are NO bikes allowed to be ridden before and during the event so leave the trials bikes at home. Any question about the area please ask. Billy

Rebuilding a 2003 Gas Gas clutch for a freind. Somebody stuck a 2002 clutch in it and it is not working correctly. One needs to be Arnold Swazerniger to pull the clutch in. Never dug into a Gas Gas so a new frontier for me. Thank god I know Beta's inside out and ride a 2017 250 cc Factory. .

No NOT buying it is a donor parts engine to fix up another bike for a friend.

The bike has a title that says it is a 200cc MYR 2002 ???

Need help finding out the year and model of this USA Gas Gas. Can anybody translate the VIN for me? VTRGG160205020201 Thanks Guys

You may take our life but you will never take our Beta's. Freedom...................

BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ NOT Britain SCOTLAND.....................

You bought a Kindergarten pre school with 315 kids in it and now you want to take them to a trial?

The old factory Beta REV 3 4T did NOT rev out as high as the stock 4T due to the titanium valves and different cam profiles. The Titanium valves and springs would float or flutter at higher RPM's. The factory Rev 3 Beta 4T had a RPM limiter that was lower than stock. It did not need to rev as high anyway due to the quicker pick of the lighter valve train. Voice of experience...........

I saw T2 at the weekend. How insulting....... they had subtitles........

I can believe it.

Dae ye noo. Without the aid of Google what is this then? Twabridiesaplenaneananinginaneana"

Heard this false statement so many times " The piston going down draws the air/fuel charge in and once compressed as the piston moves up the spark plug sets of the explosion" AGGGHHH It is not an explosion it is a control burn.....

How many of us have said this?

E mail me at. Williamtraynor@hotmail.com. I have similar issue wth some good results. Billy

Trapezartist Got my info from University of Glasgow mechanical engineering classes. Shady dubious source I guess!!! Who knew........ From www.antiseize.com General Information on Torque Specifications..... The amount of torque applied to a bolt or nut determines the Clamp Load. This Clamp Load is a determining factor in the performance of the assembly. The torque applied to a fastener with an antiseize compound pre- applied to the threads will ensure uniformity through out the process but will increase the Clamp Load compared to an unlubricated bolt. For critical applications, as determined by the Engineering Project, either the recommended torque or a torque that is unique to the application shall be clearly identified and specified on the engineering documentation. Standard manufacturing practices for the installation and tightening of fasteners shall apply to all fasteners which do not have a specific requirement identified on the documentation. The following factors shall be considered when applying torque: cleanliness of the fastener, use of a thread sealant or lubricant, degree of lubrication on the fastener, presence of a prevailing torque feature, hardness of the surface underneath the fastener's head, or similar condition which affects the installation. As noted on available charts, torque values should be reduced by 25% for lubricated fasteners to achieve the similar stress as a dry fastener. Torque values may also have to be reduced when the fastener is threaded into aluminum or brass. The specific torque value should be determined based on the aluminum or brass material strength, fastener size, length of thread engagement, etc. The standard method of verifying torque shall be performed by marking a line on the fastener (head or nut) and mating part then backing off the fastener 1/4 turn. Measure the torque required to tighten the fastener until the lines match up. Reduce the torque values by 25% for lubricated fasteners. Torque may have to be reduced when installing fastener into threaded aluminum or brass. The specific torque value should be determined based on fastener size, the aluminum or brass material strength, length of thread engagement, etc. • The nominal torque values listed for Grade 5 & 8 fasteners are based on 75%, of the minimum proof load specified. • Hole size, material strength, material thickness & finish must be considered when determining specific torque. Values: Most torque values are based on non-lubricated fasteners. Definitions: Lubricated means coated with a lubricant such as engine oil, thread sealant or threadlocker. It is necessary to determine Torque coefficient (or Nut Factor) independently, for all critical applications. 2345 N. 17th AVE. • FRANKLIN PARK, IL 60131– 3432 • 847-455-2300 • FAX 847-455-2371 Email: sales@antiseize.com • Website: www.antiseize.com

Good one.......

Yes, albeit home made. I tried the guys bike and it was WEIRD....... to say the least.

What do lefties do with a right hand throttle? Do they just adapt? Do they switch the throttle over to the left hand side? I there any top world or national rider who is a leftie?

How about Green for the Bhoys. Couldn't ride an Orange bike.

How about guys putting lots of grease on a bolt and then trying torque it. Torque specs are based on dry metal to metal contact unless called out for a specific anti seize or lubricant. If so the torque value has to be reduced from the dry value.
