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.

But back then they had bikes that gripped!

What tire?

You can do all that even better with just washers small enough to fit inside the springs. But you are still limited by the stock springs.

I would change out the condenser first. In fact you can relocate it to the frame by the coil. Save you a lot of frustration if that is the only problem since you have no points experience.

They will swap, but take different spacers. I had years of spacers laying around when I did rhe reverse of what you are doing. I used a 2001 shock while rebuilding an Ohlins.

Sounds like the clutch is gone. Do you have free play at the lever? I would back off your adjustment to make sure.
