Vent line plugged? Take the fuel cap off and run. During a 40 mile event, my son`s check ball in the fuel cap started to stick. We drilled it out. No more ball no more problem. He had to keep taking the cap off to ride the sections.

I have no idea WHY they changed the gear cam when nothing was wrong with it for what, 16 years. Bigusdickus is probably right that the problem is somewhere else. All the shifting does is do what? Rotate the shift drum. What part has been changed the most? The shift drum. Maybe 5 times. The weirdest thing the 200 started using it`s own drum in `16. Another why? So perhaps the wrong drum is being installed. If my bike popped out of gear to where I was worried, I would of split the cases yesterday. I have had a bike do this before, 1981 Cota 200. And this is scary.

After riding my sons TRS, I bought the curve footpegs for my Beta. Huge difference.

Try a 38 or 40 pilot and start with a 100 main jet. That should get you going in the right direction. Call your Gas Gas dealer in Pueblo.

TY 80.

You have one guy talking about and two want to be`s chiming in. I have never heard anyone in my club ever mention it. I have ridden about 40 events on my 2016 and it never has. I did miss a shift once this year!

Actually I fell in love with the Gold model`s rear shock. That is such a great feeling bike. Our Beta dealer had a 2019 model out this Sunday and I liked the red, but who knows what the Factory will look like.

Then take off the cap and trim back the wire. Next thing is to check the grounds. If you have no kill button you have to find the black wire coming from the CDI.

Tru a new plug.

If you are young and full of energy the TRS is the bike as it does everything better than the Beta. But,it is quick. The Beta does everything well enough, and 99 percent of them do not pop out of gear. But, they are a slower handling machine. As of now the Beta can have a heavier flywheel too. I have the same choice to make in the near future. I really love my `16 Beta Factory 250. It fits me perfect at almost 60 years old. Every time I get on my son`s 2018 TRRS 300 RR I love it. But does it really fit my style? I need to ride a full day in an event to see for sure.

My bike (before I owned it) would mysteriously stop running. Not very fun pushing the bike. I suggested removing all the stator bolts, cleaning, greasing and re - install. He also removed and cleaned up all the grounding points. It has never given me a problem since. Seems like a similar problem as it was about the same age and a Hidria ignition. It seems it would lose the ground when warm , almost working and then it would ground it self through the plug.

It is a bad ground. If it will not start, try just taking the spark plug cap off, then re-install. I bet it fires, but not runs.

The aftermarket pump seems a little feeble. But you might as well pull your pump and make sure it is all good.

I am pretty sure the black wire from the cdi connects to the kill switch, so the other tether wire should go to ground. But it has been a long time since I wired a rev 3.

I would double check all the grounds. I am sure if you searched this forum you would find your readings for the stator or call Beta.

Yes, it should spin pretty lively. That even acts like it has a bad spot. Damn the luck.

My son got an `18 300 TRRS. He loves it. First one in our club, now there are three. The `19 should just be a bit better. I have also ridden the Gold edition. The rear shock is amazing.

Are you sure you cannot get to the electronics through the black plastic covers on the side of the tank?

Bars were taller, but not much more than you can get today. Going out for a ride November 1974. I could ride to our main trials area 5 minutes from our home.

Well the kill switch should not, but when people start messing with wires things happen.

Just bridge the two wires together. Should just be the thermo, unless somebody screwed up the wiring putting the kill button on.

It does not matter how tall you are, foot peg and handlebar position is all the same. Take a look at Dougie Lampkin`s bikes, nothing done for his height. Your body has a proportional relationship between wingspan and height. Have you ever heard of short people raising the pegs? What is funny is tall people are lazy when it comes to bending their legs. If they would, the advantage they have over short riders is considerable.

It is is in the Vin. I think they had the week and year. White plastic would probably be a 1995.

I have always paid attention to foot peg location compared to swingarm spindle. It seems a lot of the old bikes were forward or even with the spindle. It has always seemed to me the bikes with the pegs behind the spindle seemed to handle better. The Ossa had them behind. In fact the link I posted the foot pegs were substantially moved, but dead even in relation to the stock location vs the spindle. So actually made the handling worse as the seat was now too tall to move around the bike. Those old bikes needed alot of body english to work. That is why I suggest a better peg. I had an 1982 Montesa Cota 200. It sat in the corner of my garage for 17 years until I started riding Vintage. That bike handled well. One day I compared it to my 1976 348. Major difference in peg location vs swingarm.
