  1. Save yourself time and money, go ahead and replace both.

    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!
  4. It has to be hot enough that it steams.
  5. I would be checking the lmpellor.
  6. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  13. If that does not work, than a few KTM parts will fix it.
  14. 425 cc of ATF dex 3. Been riding Beta`s since 1990. Also is this your first trials bike!
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. We have a couple laying around work. If I remember to bring a scale from home I could weigh it Monday. Probably 80 lbs.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. You are right, the Beta is a very solid bike! After having an Ossa, I could see why you would be wary..
  24. Just buy a new spark plug cap. It just screws into the wire.
