You did not tell the year of your bike. The early Pro`s had clutch drag problems due to swelling of fiber plates. Check with your dealer to order the updated parts will be your best solution.

New dust seal comes with the kit! It is as simple as it seems, just need snap ring pliers.

The clutch cover gasket tends to get pushed out. usually around the kickstarter. New gasket required. Beta trait that for some reason was never fixed.

Is the shifter still returning on it`s own (if not just the return spring can be broke) Can you shift to other gears? The Pro has an eccentric cam for the shift drum that can be adjusted. Worst case is the aluminum shift forks are bent so you should update all the eternal parts.

We all ride the 270 due to the altitude that we are at. 6000+ I rode a 250 a couple of years ago and really liked the quickness where the 270 seems stronger ,but is actually slower. by the way which throttle are you using? The stock black tube or the white tube?

Look at the corrosion shown on the hose clamp. Something didn`t agree inside this case. I do believe your bike is an `03?

I think i would go back to antifreeze/ distilled water. The only Beta I`ve seen that bad was Narita`s ???? `92 Usa world round bike that sat for 5 or more years without starting.

Also pull the flywheel and check the woodruff key that holds it in place on the crankshaft.

Is the plug wet? If yes you could of left the gas on which has caused a pool of fuel in the bottom end. So even with a new plug it will wet foul as soon as it`s kicked over. The fuel has to escape, but use caution as many an accident has happened at this point. Try just leaving the plug out over night. Also kicking it over with plug removed ( while holding kill button with plug cap away from opening.( Can you say I accidently burned my own bike up? And my house also , do`nt laugh it has happened!) The funny thing is I just had a `96 do the same thing today. Good luck like to hear what you find. P.S. It could be so bad as to pull the exhaust off, then you might check the air box ( mice can do strange things) or try removing the silencer.

Amiller, have you ever seen HEBO pegs bend on a Beta? Gas Gas yes , but I haven`t seen a pair on a Beta bend. It would be a wicked crash. I agree with you on the J- pegs, but not near as stout as the Hebo`s. Actually a better choice for the Beta mounts.

More than likely you will just bend the mount. Carry a ten pound hammer in your truck and you can usually straighten it the first hit. Sounds crude, but effective.

Platform type pegs seem to improve all bikes, but everything is a trade off. You will never need another peg as the Hebos will be indestructable on the Beta. You will however bend or break the footpeg mounts. Also with the larger pegs you lose some of the ability to roll your boots off the pegs.

Almost all bikes come rich from the factory as far as the main jet goes. Depending on altitude and who you are talking to it can be quite a difference of opinion (preferance) on the pilot jetting. At 6000 ft I run 130 main 27.5 pilot. Same jetting Zero, Techno, All the Rev 3`s.

Time to change the steel clutch plate. With time the fiber plates swell which changes the height of the clutch `fingers` inside. Need to change one plate to the .3 or .4 to bring it back up to spec.

Buddy trials. Two people, one bike , one footpeg each. one drives, the other hangs on the cross bar or wherever. Maybe A and B lines. Makes for great entertainment for everyone! Each section could be a challenge. Blind fold the driver, balls in a basket, hot dog on a string, egg on a spoon. The list goes on and on. Add canadian beer,way to much fun.

Just move the whole assembly, No bleeding ten minute job!

the manual states 1400cc dry and 1000cc with a oil change. the little scew in the clutch cover case is your oil level check. when drainig it`s the allan bolt. Never remove the 17mm head bolt directly under the clutch cover. (it holds the kickstarter mechanism in place) 260cc each fork. 5w spring side 20wt hydralic side.yes there was an excact measurement also ,but can`t place it. rear shock, the knob on the resivoir is compression, the one at the linkage side is rebound. can`t recall the fork adjustments as they seemed to change each year. Yellow fenders were a 92 model and white were 93.(the 90 model also had white fenders ,but not the checker board design on the tank)

Looks to me like someone needs to try a new name instead of reviving a dead horse, again ,again then again. Don`t get me wrong I loved the Ossa I bought from Elliot Shultz during a trials school of his.

Before anything else try removing/replacing the vent overflow valve. The ball tends to stick.
