The kick start seal can be replaced by just taking the kick start off. The seal will come off quite easily with a small pick. In fact most of the time the seal has pushed out and just needs re-seated. I would not worry about your other so called leak. Clean it all up and see what is really leaking. It could just be the carb dribbling or the crankcase vent is just spitting a little.

Gotta remember a 300 runs like a worn out 250 at elevation.

Yes, great point cleanorbust. I have seen a new bike power washed and not started, left to sit a couple of weeks and the main bearings rusted up.

My son plans to do the same this year. He currently rides a good running Beta 4T. He can`t wait to get a TRS. The TRS is much lighter and more power than you should need. You cannot beat the light weight of the two stroke in trials.

I have ridden Beta`s for years and still do not have a shifting issue. But I remember Beta Uk putting out a Bulletin about it in 2013. I also have a 2016 250 and I shift often while in the sections and have never missed a shift. But I do have a great working clutch due to custom springs I made. So the fact this was happening with a cold clutch could have some merit. Having to shift up two gears and back down would not always work for me. But if you watch enough video of the would round riders, they do this all the time.

Try a new condensor and file the points before trying anything else.

Well the Montesa is a better trail bike. Nuff said.

Look it up on Gas Gas website. Head or just insert, or maybe both.

If you are riding trials, it is pretty easy to stay flat free. Unlike where I ride has cactus an trees with three inch thorns. What causes flats on dirt bikes besides speed in your neck of the woods? Trials is not for everybody. Dirt bikes everybody thinks they are fast with a blip of the throttle. Trials everybody knows within a few minutes your real abilities. Worldwide trials is the smallest motorized sport. Sometimes it`s land issues, usually it cannot be found. Before the internet it was like some obscure cult. At 13 members it is an endangered species. Good luck with your new sport, maybe it is you that makes a difference!

It works, just has no feel. Since I have the factory it has the Braktechs and most have the Grimeca. They have always been (Beta) just not quite as good. Where Gas Gas rear brakes have always been great. I have ridden for several decades and then some. The Montesa rear is probably say the middle of the road, but there is like 6 different style pedals on the market.(Which at least gives the rider a choice.) This of course is my opinion, but I ride 4RT`s as much as my own bike. (We have 11 at work.) The Sherco is real close to working as good as the Gas Gas. Recently I threw my whole front brake system in my old parts pile and run a complete AJP system off a 2005 4RT. Not as strong a brake, but very consistent. (That really has nothing to do with Beta rear brake issue`s, just my issues.).To go back to the Beta rear, it locks up fine, just not much between on and off.

Will be interesting if Adam finishes out the final rounds. He had surgery on an elbow today.

My son just finished riding his first year on a Beta. We have talked before about the feel on his rear brake. Unfortunately I had to tell him the truth, Beta rear brakes have always been sub par. My Zero`s sucked, all my Techno`s were terrible, the Rev 3`s were better, but I hate the rear brake on my latest Evo. My son will be buying a TRS this year. I have always been a Beta guy. Maybe it`s the same shaped rear pedal?

It is a new rod kit if the big end is bad. Sure it will cost, but still cheaper than another bike. A Fresh 2 stroke is always good.

Don`t say where you are, but in our club the Beta runs better than the Montesa. There is a rev limiter on the bike. So if you are reving a new bike to the moon in neutral then it is you. They do come lean. Must be jetted and fitted with Jitsie thumb screw. My boys bike runs way better than the new Monts. By the way my employer has 11 4rt`s, all years and it drives him nuts we ride Beta`s. And yes, we ride new Cota`s every week.

If you have a pic of the piston before you removed it from the rod, you could tell.

That colored splatter looks like big end rod bearing. Grab the rod and feel for play.

You have filled up the lower end. Did you leave the petcock on? You can pull the plug out and kick it out, but hold the kill switch as it cojld start on fire. Once you think its clear hold ghe throttle wide open while starting. Make sure the exhaust is pointing away from anything you value.

Ryan Young has made two excellent videos that he sells.

Check the cabe at the top of the carb.

Being you both have the same experince. I tend to think you are pushing your you tube video numbers on this website. Good luck Sheepy on learning trials from someone that has not ever.

I was not going to say any more, but you keep going on. What knowledge do you have besides a camera and internet. Please tell us.

My son 2 weeks ago.

Almost. The roll up works on almost 99% of what you will ever ride. You still have to kiss the obstacle to clear the skid plate. It is done with momentum, preferably before the obstacle so the rear tire just tracks up. A double blip is a kiss off the obstacle with a bunny hop thrown in with a second blip. Yes , it gets the rear tire off the ground. Our suspension did not work that great when this technique came around. I learned it from a guy giving trials schools around the country. He did one for our club and stayed with my family for about four days. Three of us had private lessons. That was in July 1974. It did not have a name , we just learned the blip, kiss with the hop thrown in and another blip. The Jap Zap came along in 1990. The suspension was better, but no where near the modern bikes. You dropped the front wheel too low on a ledge, so low it seemed like you might crash. This really loaded up the suspension, so when you popped the clutch and went with the bike it really got some lift. As the bikes got better, you no longer needed to prime the suspension as hard. The Jap dropped off (political or just too long) and now the Zap is used with out much effert or loading the front tire. This is when the types started blending together. The worst thing for most new riders is they want to use the clutch, but make severe mistakes from using it too much. For the most part actually riding in a section you are better off points wise to leave the clutch alone. Most points for lower riders come from losing traction from the clutch. Now you are ready for a good third gear splatter. I bet you can figure out where the name comes from. You miss, you splatter.

Exactly. IMO people like you make it confusing. PS No the OP does not need the clutch pop to get over it. A roll up with pressure and hold it till the front clears the next obstacle. Do you understand pressure?

Trouble with people making videos that do not understand what they are doing cause alot of misinformation. The double blip has nothing to do with the clutch. Just as it sounds. It is a a double blip. It was around before anyone ever used the clutch. It's sole intention was getting the skid plate over an obstacle.
