    Well you are forgetting the problem now is any mistake the timekeeper makes. The rider or minder than has to keep their own time to keep things honest. And from a scorers point of view keeping time is a pain in the ass. I have scored two World Rounds since the no stop. Much easier for me, but Sport 7 was a pain too.

    Do you realize how much effort goes into just the qualifying section?

    It was even better back before they started using time clocks. But all good things must end. Soon the top riders could back most of the way backwards in the section and still clean it. Soon after, too many riders were timing out of the events. Kind of got ugly.

    There was a tech bulletin out on the `13 about that. Can`t remember the particulars. I rode 248 sections last month and only once had a missed shift. That was out on the loop. Then again I am one of the Neanderthals that have been running ATF in my Beta`s for thirty years.

    My son just sold his 300 4T with the full Arrow exhaust. If you lust for more power and the best sounding 4 stroke, do it. His particular bike ran way better than the ones with the Beta Factory exhaust. He absolutely loved it, but moved on to a `18 TRRS Raga for the weight difference. When you hop all day it is hard to beat the TRS.

    So are the brakes even trying to work? Are they squeaking? Or does the lever just come to the bar?

    The m/c is a piece of crap. Happens quite a lot. New bike? What did the dealer say?

    You better have a friend or buy a second bike. (Best way to diagnose a complicated machine is spare parts) The 4RT is the best FI trials machine. Go drop it in 4 feet of water and then tell us how great it is. Or just check out the Montesa section for a good dose of reality. Honestly it is a great bike, but until 2 strokes no longer exist not for me.

    13 had the new frame. And by 16 they changed enough that it was better.

    I am surprised how easily a country like the UK easily accepts that the world round is down to 2 loops. It has been 3 loops forever. It was hard enough with a 3 loop trials to get to the GOOD sections. Also any large event should be a full 2 days of competition.

    Yes. I have push stated on for weeks before. Just hot wired it on and pushed started and it would run all day. Just had to remember after every stop to spin it. But every pro is different in there Prooblems.

    You can probably start it with your finger. Time for a new one, common problem.

    They are all like that. First thing I noticed too.

    If it makes you feel better it seems like all the models plastic caps sucked this year. The Beta had the thread problem. At our Nationals this summer the 2018 Sherco`s and Scorpa`s one way valves were sticking. My son had the same issue with his 2018 TRRS 300 at a long distance event. He found he had to remove his gas cap before he rode a section. That evening he fixed his cap too. Makes you think nobody ever tests the finished product.

    She is solid as a rock, not too many of us guys in her kind of shape.

    No my son did not make the trip as he just started school. He would of rode Expert Sportsman. 11 and 12 were both fun sections. I loved the riding the area. Thanks again for scoring!
  17. lineaway
    Thats for sure.

    If you found no bits like this, then it probably happened before you bought it. The Pro transmission is well known for many problems. Sh-- happens, but put it back together and enjoy it. For as all it`s problems they are a great bike while running.

    Remember it takes mineral oil.

    California is like no other place. Rules unlike anywhere else.

    By the way, you really do not need the water pump seal. Just cover gasket and kick start seal. Maybe the two o rings on the clutch piston.

    This was a typical problem on the `04`s. Usually not on the newer models. You need to check the shaft, idler gear and the bearing on the other end of the shaft. Saw my friend do it right at the starting minute of a National. Luckily the Gas Gas importer was in line behind him. Forty minutes later he was back in the event.

    Move to one of the other 49 states.

    Many forms have used a dead mans or tether for decades. Just not a magnet.
