  1. lineaway

    Serial number

    A full picture of the bike would get you more results.
  2. Surprisingly the 4RT has a spot just off idle that the rear tire spins and looses traction easily. It would take me weeks to learn to get around this. Where most 2 strokes easily find grip.
  3. Balancing the bike with the wheel straight is not really a thing. You have watched the top riders doing this you think, but are wrong. The wheel is into an obstacle, the suspention loaded and bike running with the brakes and clutch working!

    Left leg start

    Oh, now you have too much power and too good of brakes.?

    Left leg start

    The 250 Beta is one of the easiest bikes to kick. It is very easy to kick right legged too. Starts first or second kick every time.
  6. it used to be the fill plug was the same.
  7. On the other hand you would be better off to replace both the master cylinders as they are junk.
  8. I already got a TRS. Just have to wait for my son to get his new bike
  9. Actually my 11 year old Grandson has been riding Garrett`s (my son) TY80. I need to find a Beta 80, so I can get the next kid in line started riding trials.
  10. Buy as new as you can. The 300 is best for higher elevation/and or top riders. 250 is great from begginers to Expert.
  11. I find it cheaper to keep the kid on a small wheel 80. 6' 5" and growing.
  12. The following weekend mid section, first loop of a two day event it happened again. This time disaster struck while going up a steep rocky climb. The bike went into nuetral, I started to bail and it shifted into second and launched 6 feet into the air. First time I have ever bent fat bars. Ruined my weekend as no one had a decent pair of bars available. I did replace the bars, but the so called Buffalo bend bars are not even close to the low Renthal bend.
  13. So I get the rear brake does not work as good as others, but why waste your time. Go ride the bike, or change brands. The only thing a better brake is going to do is give you enough to do rear wheel hops. And then only if you have the ability.
  14. Your clutch is probably out of spec, unless you just need an excuse to buy a new bike.
  15. Ha! I sure hit it in my last section Sunday. That 5 moved me from third to 5th. I have only replaced 1 skid plate on a Beta since 1990, and that was on a bike 3 months old. Previous owner was an up and coming Pro rider.
  16. The best bet would be to learn to ride proper, the sump should not be hitting.
  17. My bike was three months old. So everything was good.
  18. I had to do mine in 2002. It came apart quick. But probably took right around 4 hours. It could be done faster, but it is the perfect time to lube and clean everything properly. The rear end and the front end can come off as a complete unit. No reason to remove just the wheels etc.
  19. The `09 had the frame recalled, was this ever replaced? About a decade too late probably.
  20. My son`s 2012 frame was like butter. Luckily we just lost that bolt every 10 hours. Sure glad it was not the tab!
  21. Pulling in the clutch will remove some of it. Should sound pretty normal riding around.
  22. Beta has always had poor working rear brakes all the way back to the TR34. It must be the leverage in the brake pedal as most of the parts have been the same to other brands. I worked on a 2019 last weekend and it was better, but then I got on a TRS right away and not even close to being in the same league.
  23. That is the best spread of dates in years. They must have realized last years schedule just sucked, being all in June.
