    CDI failures

    We have not seen a CDI issue here, but we are almost always dry. Only ride water a few times in the summer.

    4RT to 4T?

    The family that I work for all ride 4RT`s. They are always trying to get me to change brands. I ride a 2T Beta. My son had a 2015 4T and loved it. He has a TRS 300 rr. He is going back to the Beta 4T. The only time my Boss`s son has won his class was on a borrowed Beta 4T. I give them hell about that all the time. But a new 301 sure looks good!
  3. It has to be hot enough that it steams.
  4. I would be checking the lmpellor.
  5. You will have to shorten the push pin. That is the part that pushes in the piston on the M/C. Just try a little at a time. PS. the S3 digit levers have a narrow blade which also will help.

    SPARK PLUGS?

    The plugs would foul easily, so you could just change the lead. Not having to change a hot plug.

    Vertical R 2020

    You would have to have access to Vertigo`s secret Forum`s to know anything.
  8. The Beta 200 is really a good bike. I would give the clutch a good hard break in. You are right, but it should really not be dragging much. The only way to get a Beta to clutch cleanly is with the shims. That is why the Jap riders have been doing this for decades now. By the way, I was riding Expert already when you first started, and I still do. But poorly.
  9. The Beta 250 would be the best practical first bike. If your not in a big hurry, take a bunch of cash to the Moto Trials National April 25th and 26th. You can find many late model bikes for sale at a great deal AND get a chance to ride them right on location.
  10. Yeah, I have figured out how to on the Beta. Looking at a 301 and I will have to fix that too. Maybe I can get it to grip at the same time!

    2035

    The only way that we won`t be using Petroleum in 15 years, would be a Pandemic has killed us off.
  12. If that does not work, than a few KTM parts will fix it.
  13. 425 cc of ATF dex 3. Been riding Beta`s since 1990. Also is this your first trials bike!
  14. Remove the brake lever and use a phillips screw driver or balled allan wrench to pump. Sometimes Burping the banjo bolt to the M/C helps get it started. Having the caliper higher than the M/c helps the air to flow out. I like using a 3 foot clear hose straight over the rear fender.
  15. You still have air in it. The rear caliper has to be higher than the m/c to bleed out. I also use 3 ft of clear hose over the rear fender. Gravity is your friend this way.
  16. It also depends on your local dealer. I will stand by my first post, I would look some more. If you like the Gasser you would love the TRS, but I would go at least the 2018 RR. My son rides one, and we have several 2020`s in our club already, For your style, it would be Sherco or TRS. The Beta is more a clubman bike and a 4RT are for Honda lover`s.
  17. We have a couple laying around work. If I remember to bring a scale from home I could weigh it Monday. Probably 80 lbs.
  18. My 1975 TL250 grips better than a 4RT in basic loose turns. Back to the OP`s questions, the TRS turns better than the sherco and Scorpa and 4RT too.
  19. And it does not grip, or turn and weighs a ton more!

    Tech forks

    I would be more worried with gearing more than anything. Hopefully you bought the factory model.
  21. The Beta looks like an `07 to me off hand. Both bikes are fine for for getting back in, so just ride them and see.
  22. You are right, the Beta is a very solid bike! After having an Ossa, I could see why you would be wary..
  23. Just buy a new spark plug cap. It just screws into the wire.
  24. More to the point, being able to actually work on anything in the future will be no. We already have non-rebuilable engines, sealed transmissions and all digital equipment actually has a short life span.
