I can only agree... We had the 80cc TRS not even a year. I thought it would be a killer bike in between 50/80cc beta and the bigger 125cc with the geometry and quality of the bigger TRS's. It was not... It broke down numerous times. Waterpump seal within the first hours mixing oil and coolant... great... Worst part was the casing that broke 4 times... Right hand side with the crack starting from the kickstarter. It would even break from my daugther starting the bike and she's a 10 year old. Then there's the engine's terrible running. We've tried different jet settings etc but it's a pain to get it running right and according to my daugther it runs and feels different every time. FRame, suspension, geometry are great! Engine sucks... Great shout out though to my TRS-dealer who solved all the problems as fast as he could with the factory backing him but we've have lost so many driveable hours last year. Eventually ( the little lady grew significantly last year) we switched to a 125rr. Way better. Avoid em if you can... Ride it out on the Beta 80 till they're big enough for a 125.

You're correct. I would like to try a smaller one but haven't had the time to test nor do I have a spare carb laying around..

Default settings are 55 / 120, needle on the fourth clip. Current setting is 58/120 with the needle on the fourth clip. The Beta howewer is also 80cc. Runnig is size smaller carb (26 vs 28 on the trs) and i never had any problems with it. It was was an older model with lots of hours on it but still more stable. Wouldn't go back to the Beta and still prefer the TRS but we'll see how this issue evolves.

Sea level, or actually 5 below sea level 😉

We’ve had one for a few months now. The little one rides it and has spent about 10-12 hours on it. Previously a Beta 80, and now this TRS. In terms of frame and finish, it's a significant improvement. The geometry fits better, and the suspension is a step up. The engine is noticeably more responsive. Although the engine still needs to break in, I found the Beta stronger at lower revs. Overall; better geometrie, more responsive, better weight distribution, large wheels and a step up in suspension. What is really disappointing is the carburetor setup; it’s quite difficult to get it to run properly. I know that we are not the only one with this problem... On the other hand i'v met some trs 80 owners with significant more hours on them and they do tend to get better as they wear in. But for now it's a pain in the **s to get it running properly.

Bit off-topic, but may I ask what brakes you have on your oset? Tektro hydraulic? ( i'm looking for an upgrade on my daughters oset 16)
