You have not found any links to fault the bikes, because the 97-01 gassers had very little problems. Biggest thing to watch would be engine slap (noise). Ten years of running the big bore is a long time unless the cylinder has been re-lined. Great bike in there day, the 321 is over kill. A 280 would be the better choice.

If you ride mud or sand (loose dirt) it might make a difference, but I`ve seen top riders wear out a practice tire to nothing without any change in performance. With emphasise on rear wheel riding, pressure is more where the grip is found. If you can afford to replace the tire often it could help the mental side of the sport.Just like any national everybody shows up with fresh tires, typical of our concern of our own self worth.
-
You just need to clean out all the jets and blow out the air passages. Been talkin` to too many car mechanics again.
-
You won't need a gasket unless you let yur kid clean it dean.

Woody , I never had a SWM. The Climber had the stop on the bolt below the K/S shaft that most people thought was the oil drain. Could that have sheared??? Just a thought.
-
I think you are saying that your clutch is sticking when first started. Always point in a open direction and use third or 4th gear to break plates loose. Some use this method before starting,I use it after with a small wheelie.
-
The music might be better than the Bullsh?t that was on the original video. People are quite rude these days to put it mildly.
-
Better to ride and work on the basics than wait and not ride at all. Trials takes years of practice. When you do upgrade your bike you will quickly improve and be motivated by how much fun the 'new' bike is.

This has always been a sore spot with Beta. First gear has always been useless to me. The quick fix is a smaller counter shaft sprocket. I had a 92 world round bike that had a 1 tooth larger rear spocket that just did not quite fix the issue. I love Beta ,but the gassers have the best 1st gear of any bike.
-
I would go with a larger pilot jet. A lean pilot would cause both the hard starting and the knock.
-
A stock txt80 is not much louder than a ty80 unless the exhaust has been modified.
-
To sirhc, if you thought the 03 was fine and the 06 was the same you would not notice how great the 08 really shined. By the way ,did you have a 2000,2001,2002,03,04,05 and 06 to compare too? The 03 just handled a bit odd and power was soft.
-
You want a 2004 or newer. The weight savings made are well worth it. And yes the '08 was the best rev3. I believe the '03 was the worst. You are coming off the worst year of the techno so any rev3 would be a drastic improvement. Good luck on your search.
-
you have at least broke the kickstart gear and will have to replace the idler gear also.Very common on the pro models.
-
pilot circuit is plugged some where. And/ or the lower choke circuit, the pipe in the float bowl.
-
Yes there is a spacer in the bottom. It is probably turned upside down , remove the fork and put it back in. Hope it goes togetherso you ride tommorrow.

You should not remove any springs as they are are there to make the clutch work correctly. Is your pull harder than other Beta`s? If so, you should correct what is wrong not bypass the problem. It is possible to remove two springs, but as the engine and plates warm up they will slip at the worst possible moment.
-
Tony that is great stuff, I take it you never had an Aprilia, Spring lodged in my eye lid on the first one I had out!!
-
Monty is right about your original air box. The basic K&N filter is for a very dry climate (it will suck water) and you can not beat the proper air flow of the stock box. The funny thing is that K&N bought the concept from the inventer who was a male nurse who just had the idea of surgical gauze between a metal screen. The original filters were made in the back room of one of the oldest yamaha shops in the usa.
-
I doubt some one is missing the stuff, but a used piston without the rings is strange unless the cylinder is trash.
-
Leave it alone. Be glad you asked, seen many people replace them and spend hours `fixing a carb problem`.
-
you might get more response if you explain what brand and model of bike you are looking at.
-
Also that was a great reason the running of the `dead idle` was common. Almost no brakes combined with the overweight flywheels made for a different mindset when setting up the bike, let alone riding the sections! I can`t believe how much fun I had riding one!!
-
Could be two problems. Did you use a new gasket. The tolerance on that side case is very minimal, so over tightening could cause this. And / or did you remove that large bolt at the top of the case that is just under the exhaust???? That bolt holds the detent for the kick start return spring. In which case it has to be reassembled with the correct tension on the spring.
-
Not had trouble mounting, but hard to bead up. Plus side is I`ve never had one spin, perfect if you have to run a tube.
