  1. Using a kicker is defeating the purpose of learning the timing. Filming it is best, that way you get to see yourself.
  2. I have a Factory 2016. I have landed twice upside down. One day I was having my first bout with Vertigo and crashed 3 times in 30 minutes. (By the way the previous year I rode 30 events with no crashes.) One of those the bike launched into the air and sailed down hill about 30 ft airborne. My rear fender has some how survived this abuse, I must have got one from a bad batch.
  3. Replace the rear fender bolts with plastic bolts or zip ties. Front fender bolts need to be watched and maybe some other washers. The plastic fork brace is crap. Other than that the Beta is a great bike. Have fun! 2t or 4t?
  4. I have seen them bent. Oni nou is on the right track. Both of my Beta`s seem just fine. Any brand will bend easily if used for anything but holding the bike.
  5. 10 year old part breaks and the complaint is they upgraded the parts.
  6. You have a bad ground somewhere, but first do the condenser. I bet it is not the plug, it is removing the cap off the plug.
  7. The link still works. Just a little slow coming from down under.
  8. So you don`t have a half link now? You could throw an 11 on for the weekend to break in the new chain. A set of Jitsie adjusters might do it.
  9. The only thing that a spring will do for sure will give you more usable travel. The rest is up to you. Have fun!
  10. Yes, it is worth everything. You have a new bike, but at your weight the suspension cannot do what it is supposed to do. You are riding a bike that is totally sacked out, no ground clearance and steers like crap. The right shock spring would fix that. PS You should do the front spring too.
  11. Nothing wrong with the shock, it is all timing.
  12. You can reach it with a long flat blade. Notice your own picture.
  13. Well fewer loops less sections, with diffuculty accessed by one man made the way he sees fit is regressing the sport even more.

    parts needed

    One of those old style shops that have parts, not drop ship them from a parts source.
  15. Bou must have the next generation of Honda`s self balancing technology. His latest video`s are just amazing.
  16. You do not need a kit. The right gear with proper clutch control will do the job. Sometimes they do crack clean like that. You could just zip tie the fender back on. I have installed these so called kits. Not on my Beta. Taking a picture of the air box after you just washed the bike is pretty lame. You might look up Scottish Six Day bike prep for Beta.
  17. Fairly normal. Go to a trials and get a second opinion.
  18. The Montesa Cota 200 was perhaps the best handling of all. Too bad the whole bike was not the best.
  19. I would not claim that trials is a race. Abunch of old guys watching one person ride his bike is more like watching a gymnast on a balance beam. Usually a poor one at tha Which is another reason to ride no stop events. Leave the clock out of it.
  20. For the carb swap you need a new intake boot (reed side), throttle cable and air filter boot spacer. If you can`t make it run with the Del Orto you have other problems.
  21. Yeah, I shorted out the original motoplat pretty quickly on my Ossa. But I rode very large rocks and cased hard frequently. November 1974.
  22. So do you not have the electrics going out of the front of the engine and up the frame, instead of under?
  23. Have you had the carb apart,? You might be missing the part on the end of the needle/nozzle jet.
  24. Yes, if you are still running the dished sprocket.
