  1. Try this.http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/26800-ty350/ The ty mono was the best improvement in bikes ever for trials. Taking 8- 14 oz off the flywheel was the second best improvement. The best improvement was a 1986. The `86 had a great shock with infinite adjustment. Great bike that was capable of almost anything. Have fun!
  2. It`s not the mounting bolt. If he striped it round already there is not much left.
  3. Any Beta is easy to start, as most modern bikes. You need an easy starter get a 125 or 200. And why the 300 if starting is the issue, get the 250.
  4. I have seen one Keihin that got plugged up internally that had to be replaced. Need to make sure all passages blow through. I like the idea of swapping carbs to check.
  5. He needed a spanner wrench, common on any motorcycle. Just not common at most tool stores.http://www.mscdirect.com/product/08643280?src=pla&008=-99&007=Search&pcrid=25122934024&006=25122934024&005=53304003424&004=7506853024&002=2167139&mkwid=srPLx9ZTu%7Cdc&cid=PLA-Google-PLA+-+Test_srPLx9ZTu_PLA__25122934024_c_S&026=-99&025=c
  6. Looks like you have the `86 gearing! Next replace the front brake cable mount to the fork with a piece of aluminum block to take up the `flex`. Improves braking quit a bit.
  7. Well nothing wrong changing carbs. As far as the Keihin, you need to know what model, what slide, jets. needle valve, needle jet.
  8. Drill the head off. Split the halves. First try to double nut the remaining thread. If that fails try a stud remover or at worse vice grips. If that fails weld a nut to the remaining bolt. Should never have used heat on the caliper. Using a torx instead of an allen would have given more grip. Could always start checking for a used caliper.
  9. Bultaco`s in stock trim were beautiful bikes. Maybe your color scheme, but Alpina blue for the tank would turn more heads and you could still find your bike.
  10. Still looks like not enough free play. You are not trying to adjust it for when you are riding. How did you bleed the brakes? I would get a piece of long clear hose (3 feet) to bleed from the caliper. Run the hose up over one of your grips to make the fluid and air push up. You might even remove the lever and use a phillips screw driver to pump the M/C. Good luck.
  11. Hopefully the smoke was just buildup in the exhaust. With all the slow riding, oil gets built up.
  12. Have you ever seen this? http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/44390-formula-brakes-upgrades-for-2012-models-to-2013-specs/?hl=%2Bformula+%2Bbrake+%2Bfix#entry324408
  13. Usually happens when not enough play is left for the piston. Too tight on both adjusters.
  14. Try to fix it first as a new leg is like 280 of your pounds. It does really suck!
  15. Don`t be shy. Clean up the spot with sand paper. Fill with Epoxy. Sand it smooth, then cover with black finger nail polish.
  16. Most rims with the strap leak a little. You should check it before every ride. If you can ride all day without adding air that is normal. You can put a tube in, but the tire can slip and rip the tube. Kind of going backwards in purpose. The Dunlop 803 seems to hold a bead better if you go to a tube. Clutch is pretty straight forwardto change.
  17. Have you pulled the plug cap and checked for a good connection. You might cut it back to fresh wire. Double check the grounds.
  18. It was Bruno Camozzi as he finished 1989 in 22nd place! http://www.trialonline.org/01%20TRIAL.FIM/01.MONDE/104.INDEX.ANNEES/AA%201980/INDEX_1989_MONDE.htm
  19. It could be a chain or tire. I had a guy put Shrinkos on a Sherco and the tire would rub on the kickstand spring.

    Chain Guide

    It`s bolted. You can easily run with out it.
  21. Barely falling over, cracking one of three mounts and now the damn thing will not run. Give me back my TR34. I have never seen a crank bend from a crash, but I`ve seen a lot of money spent on poor designs. (Aprilia)
  22. Did you do the float level? You can`t just silicon the mag cover. Either silicon it and put a proper vent or just drill a hole in the bottom for water to escape.

    2012 125 Clutch

    Fill the master cylinder before installation. Pump it to prime. When removing old m/c keep line up right and install new master cylinder. This is the fastest way to install. Less than ten minutes. Just a few pumps will get out the rest of the air. Now the correct way would be to remove the clutch cover and remove the top hat too bleed out all the old fluid. This can make your life difficult. Could take a couple hours. Have fun.

    My Beta Rev3

    Nice bike, you did well. The chain is just barely too tight. ( Better too loose than tight on the 4 bolt sprockets) Also looks like the shifter is one notch too low. Have fun!
  25. Yeah, rider 22 might have been an American. There was a great turn out of European riders, but twenty two was at the end of the list.
