You can push fluid through repeatedly and you can still have a pocket of air trapped especially in the caliper. Spending money does not change it. Sometimes you have just got to change the angle of the line. Sure it is easy to bleed a system that really did not need bleeding in the first place. I have done several hundred bikes this way.

By the way the engine being overfilled can play hell with clutch engagement. The 4T only takes 700-750cc with an oil filter change and the lower filters cleaned.

Yep. that is how the books tell you to do it. But if you never get the level above the master cylinder resevoir you will never get the one bubble out that is causing the grief The other real life method is to take the whole system off the bike and hang it it so the air can only travel up. But that is more work than you really need to do.

Remove the brake pedal and use a phillips screwdriver (carefully) to pump the piston. This serves two purposes. One is to get a full flow of fluid moving. You did put new pads in? And all you need is a 4 ft clear hose straight up from the caliper. This will cause it to gravity feed and works the best. But it has to go up at least 3 feet.

I went up to the 11t countershaft on Saturday. Last event of the year Sunday. I always rode in second in 90% of the sections. Yesterday it was reversed. All in first except for two sections. Had a third gear hill climbing starting on the hill, still pulled it no problem. Will be keeping this combo 11/42. Might try a 43 when I next change sprockets. I ride Expert class (3rd from the top class) which is probably more of an easy hard line. Thanks Billy!

Why? Are you riding in the dark on a trail you don`t know? By the way, you would have to make your own.

On a used bike you will never know what it is till you measure the piston or the bore. A lot can happen in seven years. Example I bought a world round minders bike that was put together as a 250, but had a 270 top end on it.

You are putting it back together in neutral and is the detent spring and ball installed for the shift drum?

2 throttles? Left cylinder, right cylinder!

Thighs are needed for all the advanced moves. My son got his thighs from doing the duck walk in Karate class.

The armaid is interesting, but limited. I carry small hard rubber balls wherever I go. The ball by itself enable you to reach more places. I first used a tens unit at my wifes work. Amazingly she works at a PT now for 25 years. It helped but not consistent enough. So I bought a tens unit 7000. Punch that into google and Amazon has them for 30 bucks. I use two at a time, because it usually 30 minute treatments. PT`s use just a constant charge, I have since gone to a pulse type setting. It is more like a work out. I usually probe from my tricep to the fore arm or to the meaty part of the palm. I actually use it all over my body since I own it. You really just need to experiment as each person is different. My fascia was sticking terribly and sometimes it would take over an hour before I could move again. But 30 bucks sure is cheap vs trips to the dr office. So good luck.

Pauls you are posting in the wrong thread again. He wants to get rid of his pains. New girl friends would be good to add to the getting bike fit thread.

Actually having a strong core is most advantageous. I do like the rowing machine too. Weights really do not matter as much unless you are over forty and fighting to keep your youth. Getting older just sucks.

Nothing better than 12 ounce curls while working on your static balance somewhere in your yard.

Read read and investigate further. Therapy barely scratches the surface. Look into the self message video. It takes a lot of work but worth it. Mine became so bad I bought my own electronic machine for self treatment. (One hour a day, I am an a voltage junkie) Not riding was my worst nightmare as I got to where I could not grip the bars at all. https://deeprecovery.com/forearm-pain-treatment-and-relief/

Go for it Mitch, even my son is liking them. He rode a new one at last event and is now wondering why he would be another Beta 4T when the TRS feels so much better. It looks like you won the CRC this year!

Factory bars in the rearward mount position so you are not as bent over.

You can worry about pack thickness all you want, but reality is finger height. Closer around 18mm the better.

There newest Scorpa and Sherco seem to be doing great. My son had a 2012 Sherco 250 that we are long done with. He now rides Beta 4 strokes and is happy.

A little grease on the yokes never hurts,

I have had 12 Beta`s before my current 2016 factory and they all had cold stick. My new evo does not. But the front brake M/C on my`16 is a POS. That`s another story. You could sand down the existing plates to see if that helps before buying a new set. That became common practice on the Gasser clutch issues. The clutch hub has no notches worn in it? No plates are warped? Steel plates are actually directional as they have a round side and a sharp side, might make sure they are all in the same direction. Still could be a crappy M/C like my front brake, just pumping up with use. I still have not seen another stick badly. I just replaced a shift shaft on a 2017 300 4T Saturday. Everything inside sure is nice and neat. Of course it did not drag at all.

Could be a pin broke where the shift shaft actually pulls on the shift drum. Not crazy expensive and you just have to pull the clutch.

Our vintage club uses letter size construction paper and we use a gallon size freezer bag. It is cheap, but with your weather the bag would probably fog up.

You might have screwed it with carb cleaner and air. The o ring under the tower (torx screws) is not available. You enter at your own risk. You could try just contact cleaner through the pilot jet. There is two holes it should come out . Under the slide and in front of the slide.
