Is the plug wet right away. Sounds to me like the bottom end is flooded. Happens all the time!
-
That is a great picture of the effort it took to get those bikes through the old style sections. No clutch, or brake work and barely any suspension. Just body English and determination. RIP.

Sure the stators did go out now and again. However most of the time the main bearings had gone too. Grap a hold of the flywheel and check for play while you are at it.
-
First off you have a spring and ball acting as a detent to keep the shift drum aligned. That is the first thing to check.
-
It happened. Yesterday while out working on sections, I shifted up to second and went up a large rock wall and just after my rear tire cleared the top. Damn thing popped into nuetral while I was still on a steep hill and down I went. I blame it on a lazy shift. Worse thing I knew it was a poor shift.
-
Just imagine a Gas Gas with a reliable transmission.
-
That was a great update for gassers. I always used atf, but that gm auto trac was really good and 3 times more expensive
And I have always used ATF in my Betas since 1990.
-
Multi plates. And I fix clutch drag with shims and different springs. The ATF is for hooking up quicker. Or you could buy the Beta Racing clutch for crazy money.
-
It all depends on what terrain you ride. We ride large dry rocks, you need it to hit now! Most bike oil makes the Gasser lethargic. Different oil makes it progressive to the point it is too slow. But in the right terrain, (wet and muddy) it might be perfect.
-
Faussy, and I run 10/40 motor oil in my Allison transmission instead of ATF for the same reason. Because it works better for what I use it for. Manuals are just a guide, not the last word on a subject.

Over the years I have broke a few brittle Beta fenders, as I got my first Beta in 1990. But my current 2016 Factory rear fender has somehow survived multiple hard crashes. I`d say the current fenders are just fine. Too much talking and not enough riding these days.
-
The Sidi`s are a narrower fit for sure.
-
Hate to ruin your thoughts, but I bet you still have a ground issue. You went forever with no spark, and now it runs. I have knowledge of a guy that has been chasing the same thing on my old `01 for about ten years. It started a few weeks ago and he was thrilled. Until it did not.
-
Did you change out the vent lines, or pinch the vent for the gas cap?
-
Well throw that crap away and start with fresh fuel and plugs. If you rarely ride them, a carb clean is more likely what is needed.
-
-
That is quite funny as water is the best coolant available.
-
Waste of money. I have installed one before, on someone else`s bike. I ride a 2016 Beta at high elevation, just did an 80 mile event at over 11,000 ft. 80 sections. Never a cooling issue.
-
No matter the carb, you have a pilot circuit problem. That first needs to be cleaned. I would try a couple larger pilot jets to make sure before changing to a new carb. The carbs were notoriously lean on the pilot jets from the factory.
-
Why would anybody buy a copy of the real thing that is new? It is called jetting 101. By the way, move your boot to the outside of your peg. Problem solved.
-
The carb is plugged up, Keihin? The jet tower needs to be cleaned out. (But first make sure the pilot circuit is clear and working) The jet tower is the one with the security torx screws.
-
Nowadays they use that combo of tires on Enduro bikes.
