So is the magnet/wrist strap on the handlebar. Seems I see no comment of having spark. I have a friend that bought one and it starts as easy as most 2 strokes. ( I have had a Gas Gas that WAS hard to start.)

Why not go down another tooth on the front. And you might want to learn how to use the clutch. In trials we use it every single second. The chain tensioner is not the problem.

I knew there was a reason I left this thread alone that first day!

The fastest way around this was to by pass the thermostat or just connect 12 volts to the fan. This time if year the thermostat does not matter.

Yeah, any upgrade you want 05 and newer. 2002 through 2004 was terrible years for the pro engine. No matter who says it. The pro motor when running is an incredible trials motor. It just had many issues to overcome.

So whats the dealer say that you ordered them from? But it will be a battle as alot changed through the years and the 2002 was basically a proto type as everything was crap at best.

Funny, we are just about to get the '23 model to the states.

Beta started using the Keihin in 2008. Beta also tried the del orto in 1995 and went back to the Mikuni.

The del orto is not an upgrade.

You just crashed. Did you change the plug? Did you damage the kill switch? Are you sure you just did not flood the engine. Falling should not cause an ignition problem.

Grab the flywheel and check for movement. It could need main bearings.

Its just the plastic cover rubbing on the flywheel. Take it off and re-center. Nothing is really wrong.

It goes through fairly easy without removing the swingarm, did one a few months back. Run string or wire to pull with.

There is a reason the Beta is the top selling Bike in the World, 2 stroke wise. The Gasser and Trs feel great in the parking lot. The Sherco is cursed again with FI. The Montesa is built like a rock, but you do feel the weight. Good luck. Parts for all bikes are at worse a week away.

Your legs are not supposed to be hugging the bike!

The top hat holds the spring in place at the end of the shift shaft under the clutch basket. It is made to shear to save the shift shaft. Otherwise you might need a new shift shaft.

They went to a new pump in 2016. Must have changed suppliers in 2022.

Never did say what year the bike is. The 2022 has fuel pump problems.

1850 when starting. Always let it think about it before you take off even when warm. I always wait for the idle to hit iver 2 k before I ride off.

Have you installed a tach on your bike? That is the easiest way to keep it running right. I keep my 301 running between 1950 and 2150 idle after warm up. You also have to reset the ecu first.

We have just the opposite. I think we had the 3rd hottest July, and our event tommorrow got canceled one week ago due to fire danger. Phoenix just finnished 31 days over 110 degrees. We are used to cold nights, usually low 50's rhis time of year. Lately it has been above 70 at 5 a.m

The magnet is a very dumb device. It can fly off with a hard hit, a small branch, bush, or just waving at your friends wife. I tossed mine right away and run a real teather and a kill switch. The NATC has changed the rule from being a wrist strap device. I prefer it attached at the waist. No accidental fives and I am hands free. My bikes on the left and I changed the strap out to a short red one. I cand buy the lanyards online 2 for 10 dollars.

Actually it was on the 2004 Raga. Originally they changed to the green lid in the clutch m/c. But anything can happen to a bike during several decades.

Pretty funny timing. My daughter in law decided she wants to ride trials. She barely rides a bicycle. My son brought her to my house for her first go. I told mim about a stop or at least a lead attched to the magnet. He just slowly worked with her But a throttle stop does serve a purpose while learning.!!@
