Yes, a one spring suspension needs the spring replaced more often to stay working properly.

Having power and trail gears are two different things. You need a pipe to wake up the motor! Maybe more! should have just said you wanted to blow by that lowly 2 stroke!

I just checked a couple, some are better than others upon close inspection.

If you gear the ty80 down, the clutch feels almost like an auto. (You still need to use it to stop) Smallest c/s sprocket and a 50-54 rear.

You must ride in no rocks, modern sprockets bend easily.

being an `08 a frame swap could of happened.

You are still trying the wrong set-up. If 1st and second is worthless, then it is not steep. should have went with the 12.

We`ve come full circle once again with design change. Could also be with the new weight limits it is now not necessary to cut every gram, even at the cost of performance. I`ve only seen one hand in the sprocket in over 40 years. People that are worried about people being injured should talk about proper catching of the bike. Front tire, front forks or handlebars is the only place to grab a bike.

Yes you will! I assume it`s Ty, congrats on his win. If any bike will break, it will be a kid on a 125 to do it. Glad to see the class stay alive after being empty last year.

The pads are very small in the first place. I`ve seen long time riders do this. Are you sure you just don`t need new pads?

223 and 224 are correct. Click on the picture, it shows the 1805.

That is true. The Montesa uses 9 bolts and the 4 stroke Beta 9 also. The problem is the two stroke only uses 3 bolts. One bad hit and it`s done.

Too be honest most of the trials population is quite old. An affordable Electric start model with upgrades to be able to purchase depending on riders needs. Have a competition model and the clubman model with accessories available.

I like the Fantic as is.

I myself have not delt with the new guy. From everybody I talk to he is very good. I had a good relationship with Ron. I could get a hold of him and get things done. The internet sure has changed how parts flow. I started selling my old stock on Ebay and am surprised how much has gone to Europe.

Any two stroke can run backwards. Have you grabbed the flywheel a good shake to see if the mains are bad?

Bright side is it`s new enough that you can buy just the starter pawl and idler gear. Make sure the missing teeth did not travel and get stuck in the large primary gear. Just a little metal in between the teeth can make a hell of a racket!

I had a friend buy a Sherco at the world round last year. Before his son ever rode it, it was stole in his drive way locked as exactly you describe in the back of the truck. I`m a firm believer that vans are the best way to go. No seeum, no stealem`. I purchased two folding locks from the Yamaha dealer I worked at in 1985. I still use them daily. They are similar to the Kryptonite, maybe stronger. They have a chain like swivel every 8 inches. Easily stored and easy to use. While traveling I also use a cable around a seat base. Bikes locked front and rear. Too bad the Yamaha locks have not been available for years!

There was a whole DIY video tied to these shims. Took me forever to hunt then down.

With all the info on the net any more. The only shim I`ve ever saw was from Wise Motorsports in Japan. And they seemed to know what they were talking about. (In Japanese) 007 might know otherwise. I could probably find the link . It would cost dearly for a .60 cent part

No it will not.

Brake lever is on the clutch side. I would put in 600cc. What does it say on the case by the kick starter? If it still the Yamaha case it would have the oil capacity stamped there.

Did you get the owners manual with bike? Beta had a fairly good recommendation for suspension adjustment. Really at novice level it is better to be too soft than hard. Sometimes wide bars are not the thing in trials. You might not get around an obstacle as good as others.

I have had Beta`s since the `89 TR34. Usually problems with the clutch hydraulics are the rider trying to get every last little bit out of the adjustment. Which usually just screws the whole thing up. The piston has to move the correct distance to work. ( This happens to all brands) This was actually the problem Gas Gas riders had when the Pro came out. They always tried larger master cylinders. It never really worked. It is possible you had a bad M/C. Did you ever try a rebuild kit?
