Another way to hold the brake lever pivot bolt is to slip a flat head screw driver between th nut and the cast frame bottom. The angle on the blade stops the nut moving and, as long as you rotate the nut onto the blade, does not damage the nut. I use ptfe tape on this bolt, it is easily undone and does not vibrate/turn lose.
You need to connect the removable tank left-hand hose joint (the left hand side near the headstock) to the frame tank movable nipple. The pipe goes round the front of the headstock. The tanks vent through the removable tank filler cap.
May just be worth nipping the radiator cap tags just a little. This will tighten the cap on to the radiator a little more. If seats the cap better with a little more pressure. This once resolved a similar issue I had. Worth a try and costs nothing...
So Breagh what was the mod? Holes did you make them bigger or put them on the correctside of the boss? Most people forget to think about which way the clutch spins...
Before you start taking the engine apart unplug the ECU & esure there is no water in the plug pins. A good clean in here can resolve a miltitude of sins.
Anyone from the Donegal area? I am visiting the in-laws who live in Donegal, near Malin Head. Is there any green lanes & trail riding to be had? Any maps show the routes?
Be really interested to know ASAP so I can load the bike.
I would love to see some pictures of the Betas. They sound great.
Put together a LDT Bike for the missus who is 21 in here dreams & 5+ in reality.
Basically it is a 125 Scorpa Long Ride with few bits taken off & some simple additions like extra fuel in bottle bags either side of the tank. Etrex as a speedo & direction keeper, footrests etc.
I have riden the bike a few times & it is great.
Long live trials bikes as trail bikes, small easy to ride & beg for you to look scenery of the route you ride!
Looks very very similar to the 125 Yamaha engine. Bore and stroke identical. This engine is fitted to lots of bikes and is also manufactured in china by Jianshe
Basically, same motor as the scorpa 125, Yamaha TTR, XT & YBR. Spares shouldn't be a problem. Maybe a scorpa 125 front pipe will fit?

Interesting that Taiwan is not on the list? I know for your 163, like mine, it is badged yamaha & built in Brazil. I can also get all parts from my local dealer.
We had a "yamaha 125(copy)" stripped down for parts recently & trust me most of the parts were different. I think it was out of an AJS??? Still I hope you can fit standard Yamaha parts because I would have one tomorrow!!!!
Understand the engine to be a Taiwanese Yamaha copy. Someone I spoke to said the parts are not the same as Yamaha, so that would preclude the use of the TTR tuning parts that are a plenty on the market.
See the start of the Andorra world round has moved from Naturlandia... shame. Looks like the paddocks are now in the town with just the sections up at Naturlandia. Anyone know of any half decent camping spots close by? Only got tent so hard standing is out!
