  1. No. Back in then everything was done by a machinist.
  2. My 2016 factory 250 I tried every combination of sprockets. It drove me nuts. I finally spent a few hours mathmatically crunching the numbers. I ended up with 9 and 44. This gave me a super usuable 2nd gear for almost all sections. This also makes 3rd gear the same as the stock second. First gear for only the tightest of sections. Good luck.
  3. I would change out the jet tower oring with one from an OKO. It is much thicker, and the stock one shrinks. If you have lots of time to waste there is several you tubes of how to check if the jet tower leaks. Good luck. The Beta should get farther on a tank over other brands.It has the largest modern capacity. Should make about 25 miles.
  4. So since you have done everything, again. How are the vent lines routed?
  5. Make sure the choke is all the wsy off. Straight up is choke on, down is off but it can get stuck out of its groove and still be barely open.
  6. Again, none of those are trials bikes. And no one on here cares about the junk you are pushing!
  7. The problem lies in 2016 when they moved the stator into the cover instead of the engine side. Moving the mass more into the center for better handling, but not better traction in the wetter conditions.
  8. This one reminds me back in 2001 I sold a bike to an older guy that claimed to be an Expert road racer. He had ridden pavement for decades. He bought all new gear and so looked the part alright. He showed up at the next event and rode the beginner class which is predominately full of young kids. He barely got through the day. And I never saw him or the bike ever again. Trials is not easy as an older adult. Stick with it, you will figure it out. It takes hours and hours of practice, so get lessons as soon as possible. It`s best so you don`t develop bad habits right from the start. Have fun and good luck.
  9. Oko replacement gaskets are a little thicker, to end this common problem. Scroll down to the 3 piece gasket set. http://www.mid-atlantictrials.com/K-101-Parts.html
  10. Trials pajamas is what we call them. In my 50 years of trials I bought 1 pair in 2000. I usually just wear mx pants and a t shirt. Of course I do wear trials boots
  11. There has been many issues through the years and most is from too many rule changes to the point most people really do not know them. The worst one was counting the all day dab a one, when previously it was a 5. So the stop with a foot down should have remained a 5, the powers to be should have just changed a failure to 10. Then everyone could safely stop with feet down and still not failed the section.
  12. Being Toledo, you will have to drive a ways. Try https://www.motatrials.com/mota-clubs/mid-michigan/
  13. I had a 2016 Factory Beta 250. Talked my son into a 300 TRRS. He did not get along with it, so I bought it. It was lighter than the Beta. But everything happens to fast. So I bought a 2021 Montesa 301. Which puts a smile on my face. But every time I see the guy riding my old Beta I question my sanity.
  14. Also remember KTM does not do parts for what? 2019 and older? Something to consider.
  15. The jet tower is the part with the security torx. It used to be like a forbidden part of the carb, but thats where all the problems can be fixed. https://advrider.com/f/threads/keihin-death-barble.1285977/
  16. Double check the fuel cap is venting or just remove it and make sure fuel is entering the bowl and clean the carb. If it still acts the same, get a new jet tower o ring and remove the jet tower and clean out the passages at the same time.
  17. Here in the states the problem is every state has a different set of laws for off road vehicles. That is 50 laws that hardly ever are even close. In fact half the states do not register or title off road vehicles, and other states that do 50% of the bikes never get proper documentation. All my new bikes have papers, all my vintage do not.
  18. 7 is a hard age. Just depends on the kids size. You are better off to let them ride bicycles till they are ten or 11. I know you want to. My son rode his first event at 2 1/2 years old on a gas powered motorcycle. He was a big kid. PW 50 YAMAHA, then a Beta 50, 3 different ty 80's. A gas gas 80, to a beta 250, 300 Raga, 250 Sherco, 300 4rt beta 300 RR Trs and now a 300 rr Montesa. Lots of fun, but I could of just waited till he was 11 or 12 when HE really wanted to ride. He just turned 24 and I just bought a 2021 Beta 80 for my 12 year old grandson. So I put the Beta 80 in my sons name hoping that we can make that bike last until he has a son that will learn on it. The electrics can be fun at home in the yard but totally suck at an event once the batteries die. FInd a nice condition ty 80 and just let him have fun until he really wants to ride.
  19. All those are junk bikes. ALL of the posts you do is crap. You have no clue where a vin is on a motorcycle and you act like you have some vast knowledge.?,? Go back to your mothers basement.
  20. That was probably the original problem. A new M/C is in your future.
  21. I did mine Sunday. 14mm off the left and about 25mm off the right. I have an aluminum throttle tube that sits about 10mm wider due to the bearing. I also removed the magnet and put a real teather kill switch under my bar pad. The tether will attach to my fanny pack, so no more killing the engine waving at friends.😄
  22. I would ask him where that formula master cylinder came from. WE were throwing those in the trash not long ago.
  23. You going road racing? You could only removed so much, or is it on another bike?
  24. The rim should have the size stamped in it. I does not go by tire size.
