First look at the condition of your pads. It`s a lot easier to fix with new pads. Almost 50% time people have worn out brakes. Loss of pressure can be a lot of things. As long as you have no leaks, a m/c rebuild kit would be the next thing to try. Good luck.

Chances are those forks are off a 2000, and yes they were available on the 2001. I actually like those forks. Worst thing is the original fender stays were all red plastic and were terrible because of fork flex. In the spring of 2000 Beta came out with upgraded parts kit that was an aluminum fork brace/fender mount. Very nice kit and made the front end work. You have half of the kit after looking at it again. You have the fender stay, but not the brace.

Why would you be sourcing parts for the 4RT in the USA when we got all the parts from England? From 1977-2013 all Honda trials bikes were gray marketed into the USA. Montesa quit importing around 1993. Dennis is the one to ask though. And you might ask Adrian at Lewisport.

It seems most products come with little or no directions nowadays. I like the bolt length idea. It would be very easy to check just by a head to head comparison.

Leonelli actually makes one for the Beta.

Half of our state has had record snowfalls lately. Luckily our main riding ares are still almost dry. I had to dig through 3 foot of snow to get the bikes out. My Honda civic is the snow pile in the middle.

Yeah, I noticed when I put my Zero`s through my calf. 3 layers of stitches and a drain.

The new bikes move much better than the `04 ever did. You can and should replace the spring. But hopping is all about timing, have someone that can hop try your bike first.

Japan would be the best place to find the 4 stroke Yamaha. They were the only rider`s that liked it. I`ve only ever seen one.

What carb?

10nm = 89 lb/in I would get new washers and O-rings from Ryan and do 90 inch lbs and call it good.

My godson got a 2015 200 last year and improved ten fold and was just killing it. At the last minute he changed his mind for a 250 this year. Will be interesting how it goes.

I can understand this mod as hard as a std Bull clutch can be. Only downside in our vintage club is you would have to ride with a different class of bikes. Not a deal killer. Very nice looking considering it`s using the same case. How long have you used it?

We just got two 2016 std models this last week. Morad rims, god knows who made the hubs (not Honda). The new Dunlops on the Montesa measure 4.25 inches at the widest point. Well within FIM rules. With three 2005 4rt`s sitting next to the bikes with a combo of Dunlop 803`s (old style) a Michelin and one with an Irc. Tire width is seemingly identical. Only changes between the years, suspension, brakes, fuel tank and plastics and wheels. The frame appears to be slightly altered, but did not do any measurements. The S3 bars, new foot pegs and brackets are a nice touch. Still a great deal for a clubman rider buying a bike to use for more than a few years. Cannot wait to actually ride a 300.

A picture would be most appropriate for this before further damage. When the teeth meet the primary, there is only so much area meshing with that smaller gear. I think you answered your own question best. But before you spend too much money, you need to wonder how this could of happened. Foreign object, out of alignment, bad transmission shaft bearings, bad main bearings. Just how much work are you chasing. The `99 techno was a bullet prove bike, is this bike just tired? Good luck.

No, your knees are suckin` in a so are your elbows!. Proper stance is the most important thing for a new rider. You never ever stand straight.

You are just a little twisted up, try this.

Before hydraulics and bikes made to break, we spent a lot of time doing silly antics while balancing. We used to use a rock or a rubber strap to hold the front brake locked on. That would enable us to change positions on the bike. Stand on the seat, balance backwards, walk over to the bars and stand on the front fender and then come back. Of course everybody has seen Debbie Evans doing her famous head stand routine. My favorite as a kid, I would score a section while the whole time balancing my bike. Have fun with it.

You balance just as you would do a proper turn. Start with bike full lock,(l or r) front brake on, knees bent weight to the outside, shoulders pointed towards where you are going. You actually weight your pegs to maintain balance, you are supposed to turn with the pegs anyhow, not by the bars. Practice both directions, don`t just favor one side. Keep at it till you can go 15-20 minutes easily. Then you will be ready to start hopping the front.

Perfect time for an oil change.

I would bite the bullet and buy one that fit`s. https://www.inmotiontrials.com/product-category/parts/twinshock/bultaco/seats-bultaco/

We actually have quite a few riders that had 4rt`s and now have 4t`s instead. We also have a large 4rt population compared to most clubs,mainly due to being brainwashed. They ride them because it is a Honda, Not for how well they actually work. Funny, my boss`s son just got another 4rt (2016), but his only win in the Expert came on a borrowed Beta 4T. Brainwashed.

The older Beta`s were quite known for shearing the key. Should just be a new key and leaving the timing alone.
