Carry a chain breaker tool on the trail? Good idea?
A cell phone in the states and a satellite phone in Mexico.

Heavy clutch
The higher the fingers, the lighter the feel. They also make a soft retainer ring, see your dealer. The type of oil can make a difference too. Nils Clutch trial is an improvement or your m/c could use a rebuild kit.

Heavy clutch
That`s an under statement. It washes out in the ruble unexpectedly. I got to section 8 at a low traction trials 2 weekends ago, drove straight back to the pits and put a for sale sign on it and it was gone in 24 hours.

Carry a chain breaker tool on the trail? Good idea?
Well, if you don`t own a chain breaker then you have not been into motorcycles very long. And the mini chain breaker was invented like in the 70`s to carry in your tool kit. The only chain related common problem is throwing a chain and it getting stuck around the front sprocket. The correct way to fix this problem is to remove the flywheel cover to back the chain off by turning the flywheel backwards.

New to this, can't identify year from vin number
The colors are a 1997 and the rear wheel is not Beta.

Evo 4t chain
So know you wonder with the above comment if it was 101 with the half link stock. So you buy a chain breaker and a 102 or longer chain.

Evo 4t chain
That would be 100 link chain. You werw counting 2 pin plates.

Evo 4t chain
Well if you are ordering the same sprockets then count the number of links on your existing chain. It`s much easier to own a chain breaker, then you can cut a chain to fit. Just order a chain at the best deal, longer than your original.

Sounds more normal than not. Bikes can develop a little noice in the clutxh as time goes on.

Bike floods on steep hill climbs
If you are getting fuel to the carb, it sounds like to me your floats might be sticking. My last Beta would do that upon a large impact with a rock or log. Drove me nuts. Changed out the floats and valve which cured it. The day I sold it did it again loading into the new owners truck.

Completely new to beta... Got some silly questions
The clutch master cylinder takes just dot 4 brake fluid or similiar. Chances are the stator is bad as the techno was known for that. So you need to find out how to proceed and do you want to spend the money. Search this forum for stator issues and info.

Next time remove your gas cap. Somehow you are not getting fuel I bet. Just because you have fuel in the tank, you still could not have fiel in the carb.

Are you sure it`s not just running out of fuel? Flooding would be fuel leaking and a wet plug.

You do not say what year. Is this with the rear mounted tank?

New trails bike
It looks like a 1998 and probably a 250. The 280 kit was late to the show.

If you'd bought it, what would you do?
My boy had a 2012 250 with the delorto rear tank model. IT had less than 10 hours on the bike from a novice rider. Like new. It was a dog , I had a kiehin so ordered a manifold for thw bgger carb. The vacuum i take was a joke. It just would no pull any fuel. That 2012 the frame was like spagehtti. The head stay from frame to engine, we would lose that bolt no matter what, I finally double nutted it and red loctite. Any how that vacuum system is someting to run from. I could go on but this post would be deleted.

2015 evo Factory Carb Help
Are you sure you stalled it? You could of had a cold siezure. The quickest way to diagnos this is to pull the front header off and look up the cylinder and check the piston. Otherwise if you have fuel and spark it should start again. Just make doubly sure the slide is closing all the way.

2015 evo Factory Carb Help
So how long did the engine run at high rpm????? And did it stop unexpectedly?

Lay the bike on its side to see if you can get fuel out the over flow, but only until it starts dribbling. You do have fuel?LOL

2003 gas gas shifting and clutch removal
The only part that looks like that is the mounting bracket that holds the trigger to the case, which is the flywheel side.

08 beta rev 125 fouling plugs
Take a pic of the carb as it sits. I am betting a vent hose issue.
