I once rode a Texas state series. The time limit was too short. Texans take the time limit to heart. The trialsmaster told everyone to speed up the sections. I actually `passed` two riders in a section. Almost everyone finished on time!

You do not need a fender, you just ripped the top off the air box. The air box should still be functional. I would remove the pieces off the fender and epoxy it parts back together All it is holding is the fender. This would just be a temp fix, but I`ve seen temp fixes last forever! And if you have never broke a throttle housing, you not trying hard enough. Ha! Ha!, sorry I can not tell you how many times this has happened to me through the years!

If the middle box is just bent, I would have an elbow welded between the two. If you are creative, it will work fine

If the shaft is moving then the clip had to come off. Also the bearing in the case is probably shot.

Should be able too. It would be the spokes vs your hub. I know when I got my 1989 Beta I sure liked the design. Be sure to order a couple of spare spokes.

Trouble is no matter how good you set-up a txt boy it will never work as good as a ty80. (granted the txt has great brakes). The ty80 if you gear it down does not need any clutch work except to stop. The auto clutches are just a waste of time,(no competition) unless the kids just riding around the yard. My kid started on a pw50, beta mini-trial,(The reason for the beta vs the gas gas was the Beta would start.) 2 different ty80`s and his final kids bike was a full size txt70. I bought the beta new and was a waste of time except my kid was only 5. The ty80`s were great and the txt70 taught him clutch control. Good luck on your search. If you find the gasser with the big bore kit, it is quite exciting for an auto!

As Dan said no torque needed. Just lightly snug them up, the springs will hold. Too much torque and you will be buying more parts. Ps, Beta`s always had cold stick.

Thanks for scoring, Chuck!

Here`s a good example of `where` the boyz went!

Well who is going to ride it? All the gas powered autos are crap!(Oset now rules) Ty80 was the best small bike ever.

Just curious, anyone riding use a light on the helmet? There is so many options out now, just wondering?

Dad of 2, trials is not tennis, though I know you mean well. I have been at a national event that I had to settle what seemed like twenty protests. It takes too much time! The FIM

Nick1969 is right, a gas gas rider usually will not like the Beta. The gas gas does many things well, but grip has always been better on the Beta!

So, with the old pads in the caliper you should be able to spread them with a large screw driver. What have you used? And how much pad was left on the old brake pads? If they were all the way to metal, this might not be as easy as we thought!

10 minute job. Loosen the one retaining bolt. remove caliper from fork. spread pads before installing new ones. Install pads. Put caliper back on. Try the brake lever. Might try the water trick on hot pads to break in.

Take off the flywheel cover. Some times it could just be the cover. Run it. If it still does it the mains could be bad or just the main seal. If you grab the flywheel with both hands (not running) you can tug up and down. If you feel movement, the main bearing is bad.

Jon, look what Chuck got these guys to do! http://www.flickr.co...N04/8828869366/

It is a good idea what you suggest! Our club has been doing it for years now. At one time we had over 15 riders on our national team. Two to 4 guys would trailer the bikes out and the rest would fly in. We had several corporate and individual sponsors who paid most of the fuel and we always have our own riding gear. Team New Mexico.

You can just replace a chain if the chain is worn and sprockets are good. If the sprockets are worn, then it`s a complete set needed.

Having a good ground was most of the problems on the boy.

When I scored at the U.S. round the FIM made it very clear that just because the spokes stopped did not mean an instant five. At the same time there had to be some intent of motion. Sounds hard, but was fairly easy to score. The riders all know any hesitation could give them the dreaded quick 5. As always riders push the limit, and by the way just because the feet are on the pegs does not mean it was a good clean ride. This is outdoor real trials, not indoor rules to entertain the masses.

If you still are stuck after these suggestions, I would remove the forks. Fill them back up with oil, put the bolts back in and turn them upside down in the heat for a day or two!

Well the correct way is the right tool. I`m sure some one will have a better idea.
