I think it's an old man that can't see too good these days, put the cap on upside down inside out and smashed the seat down lol.

Just spoken to andy the shock man and he says the reiger is 15mm longer.

Hi there Will a reiger shock designed for a nee gasgas fit a 13 sherco? As in length width etc Thanks

Hes on holiday I think for a bit. Could somebody recommend a good weight for the flywheel as I can have it machined down slightly. thanks

Hi there, Ive got an 07 scorpa sy250 and wondered if I could do a few things to help with throttle response and pick up. Its no way near a gasgas or sherco of similar age and although I'm not expecting miracles it would be nicer to get it a little sharper. Ive already advanced the ign. but have looked at three possible options: Keihin flat slide (if it fits???) Reeds Lightening flywheel (no idea by how much??) Any help appreciated thanks

Quick update, still not sorted it out yet, removed airbox completely today and it revved out cleanly as if the airbox is a big restriction. Took reedblock off and checked reeds which were all perfect too. I checked the exhaust and this is not a cause of the problem for definite. I also tried running the bike without airfilter in place and still wouldnt quite rev out. Any help would be appreciated! I cant do much more in terms of airflow so Im stuck at what to do. Perhaps a smaller main jet? although as stated above the jetting is already standard. Thanks very much

Hey there, Out of interest are there any alternatives to the standard, massive sy kickstart from another Yam engine? Thanks

can I move in?

just looked into it and a 145 main is standard from the factory! ill try it out again tomorrow and report back.

also found out im running a 145 main jet, does this not sound a tad large? thanks

right just tried it with the mudguard off and airfilter out and it made a big difference, Revs a lot cleaner and nicer! The filter I bought was unbranded, blue with a black rubber seal around the top, could this be the problem? thanks

well I worked it out yesterday its probably at around 45:1 haha! stupid I know I used scoot sport oil that silkolene do. I got it cheap but its been fine in all thje bikes I've ran before! I usually run at 70:1 but becuse the bike had been standing for a while I thought best to richen it up a little, I think I went too far!!!!

Right, cleaned the carb out throughly today, blasted out the main and pilot jets and ensured the choke is going all the way down. Went out for a little ride and it's certainly better! It's still flat at the very top end though which is horrible to ride with but definitely an improvement. I also tried moving the needle clip up 1 notch and this just made it run lean everywhere. The clip is currently on the second from bottom notch. Is this standard? I have been running the bike very rich in 2 stroke oil temporarily as I've only just bought it and wanted to make sure. Could this be the problem?

very good idea! which notch should it be set to? thanks just thought though surely the needle height governs how much fuel is introduced into the mixture. It looks like it's getting enough fuel although I'm not sure!

Hey there, I've just bought a scorpa 250 2007 and it seems to not rev properly past mid revs. It's almost like its very choked and boggy around the top and as a result there's no power there! It's had a new filter, cleaned carb out (without taking jets out admittedly), new plug and the air/fuel screw seems set right because the bike rides well at low throttle. All the breathers are clear (not sure on the tank breather but doubtful that it 's the issue) and fuel is flowing well to the carb. If anyone can shed some light on the situation please do! Thanks in advance Rob

Hi there, Beta evo 290 2009 stolen from Swansea on Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning. No rear mudguard or air filter. please contact rob on 07717508427 with any info. thanks very much

If anyone fancies throwing me a message that would be great. I'm new to the area you see and need some info! 07717508427 Thanks Rob

The 6 day plate was on a citroen that was owned by Mark Hollands dad, (remember him!) My old memory still works sometimes...

Haha that was added years ago! rob

Hey there all, I have a beta 2009 bike, and the suspension is odd. I mean, it's lovely, nice and springy and good for hopping etc, but there's not a lot of damping at all. I have wound the ring up to harden it a bit but otherwise it rides too low. The damping screw is set to fully hard but still no real damping when hitting rocks etc. Does anyone have any help? Thankyou Rob

Should he ride my beta or his gasgas in the east yorkshire 2 day? Ive only just got my beta 290, and hes got a 300 gasser. He says that the gasgas is too powerful and sharp. Quite vague i know, but cast your opinion. thanks sorry but im bored and in college

Hey there, I've got a 2009 125 gasser and it suffers with the seemingly usual, misfiring problem. Specs: (maybe add-ons could be cause?) Keihin 28 mm carb, Boyesen reeds, raga inlet manifold We run the bikes on a 70:1 mix which is fairly lean i suppose, but when its not misfiring it runs so so cleanly and sweetly. The bike will run absolutely great and then start misfiring and backfiring, even sometimes with flames out of the exhaust! If the bike is then revved until nearly ceasing it clears and runs fine again. It is maintained extremely highly with the filter/crab cleaned after every virtually every trial. Could anyone shed some light on the diagnosis and treatment of the problem? Thankyou Rob

Hey there, Ive got a 2009 gasser 125 that's 6 months old! Snapped my swinging arm yesterday dropping into a small dip!!! No rocks, no real stress, just snapped on the right near the brake master cylinder and on the left at the spindle hold. Unbelievable that it would snap doing something so small and insignificant as that, obviously was very weak and that was the last straw so to speak . Thanks Rob

No no no, the gasgas exhausts are absolutely **** with regards to durability. ALL of the middle-box brackets snap, and need rewelding. Sorry to put a downer on it, fantastic bikes otherwise!!!! thanks Rob
