That is too bad. You can always use acid to clean the aluminum off the cylinder.

Do a proper carb clean before chasing anything else. Suppose you have a Del Orto. Make sure the choke circuit is clear that is in the bottom of the float bowl and of course the pilot too.

You look great till you pull the clutch.

Well the indoor should be more interesting with the next two events in Spain. Hopefully they don`t bring the same obstacles along for the show. Time for a change.

There is no ledge to load the bike. It is just a roll up. No technique besides body movement. Put it second or third and it will go right over. Leave the clutch alone till you are up! First is too low on a Beta. You could splatter it. If you insist on doing a double blip or attempting a non zap is you need leg pressure to keep the front end up over the next barrel or whatever it is. I would just ride it like I was going down the trail. The tire is what you need to be riding to learn the zap.

No picture. Did you take a pic before you broke it?

In the states it is the same problem. We might be more like 4 to 1. You rarely see 250`s for sale.

But you ride a 250? Actually instead of a new bike this year I might just add a 300 top end. Then keep what I like for my next bike in 2019. I am kinda stuck on Beta again.

The interesting thing UK Beta`s all run different than the one`s we get. Heavier flywheel and an added weight on the clutch side as well. Beta USA sells a model called the super smooth. I believe it is the std 300 UK model. I have never ridden one yet as they are rare. So funny to hear reports on your bikes, since all of ours are quicker stock. We ride mainly dry rock as in Spain. But if I lived say upper New York state I would probably buy the super smooth and go from there. PS I love my 250 Factory Beta.

Most people buy the 300 because that is the biggest they make. Bigger is always better in some peoples mind. I have a friend that called me about which bike to buy, he just turned 68 and has not ridden in several years. He was appalled when I told him a 200 Beta. He replied he was a big bore rider. I have to laugh at this post. A flywheel can help gain traction in the wet, lower gearing does not lower the power. In fact it makes it more abrupt. You need not worry about what others do with their bikes, look at yourself when it comes to technique. Trials is about the individual, nothing more.

They can`t tell if a head is mismatched with a cylinder? Either it fits or not.

I run Maxima super M in my 348 at 50 to 1. It really depends on which oil you run. You cannot go wrong with Yamalube R at 32 to 1.

Old fuel. Might of nipped a piston, pull header pipe. Exhaust side show if the rings and piston looks ok.

I think everyone forgets how much better the top 5 or six riders are than they were 15 years ago. That is a long time to still be riding at that level. It helps all of them ride together quite a bit. But then again, that might be why one does not break away from the rest. Bou was the last one to do so. This should be Busto`s year to do it or not. Raga sure seemed to gain a little with the move to TRS.

That could be a smaller hose Jonny. I just went through the opposite, tossed the braketech and installed an older AJP on my '16 factory Beta. Hoses were different sizes.

You can get it done pretty cheap. Main bearings, main seals, center case gasket, base gasket and intake gasket. Buy the bearings from a bearing supply. Beta used to have a gasket and seal set. Good luck. Cheaper if you just take the engine alone to a shop.

Well you are partly right. All Gas Gas did was go to a lighter spring. Which you can do on any bike.

Sounfs like mains.

Actually the Beta manual gives the settings for your weight, but I question if the forks were done correctly.

Bike of choice a TY175 that was ***** as new and giving advice? Just kidding. My son last year went from a 2012 Sherco 250 to a 300 four stroke Beta and was instantly twice as good. Granted at 19 you can do that. Having the same (More or less) time on bikes, it can go both ways. The wrong bike (The most common was the 4RT) can make a rider go backwards. Most riders who get a new bike actually get better, not because of a new bike. They get mentally better. Either from the confidence of having a new bike and/or that they try harder since they bucked up for a better ride. But having a bike that is fresh, tight, and better suspension brakes and tires really should not hurt a rider. Sure I can jump on any twin shock and turn up a muddy bank better than most on a modern bike. But throw in an undercut ledge, and I will take the newest bike any day.

Seriously Dan, that thread is a bunch of Hog wash. Billy T. had it right.

Did you do the work? It sounds like there is too much oil. Do the forks travel as far as they used to?

Check the valve with the float bowl off. 99% of the time it is not the valve on the rev3. Do a search for Billy T mikuni fix. It`s all labor,no parts. http://trialsport.com.au/beta/Manuals/mikuni/

The best way to slow down a 300 is to drop the counter shaft sprocket down one size. And remember the clutch slows it down better than the throttle.
