Hello @b40rt, I can see why you say that as I put something up about the new SINCRO model but I have no connection with the sale of Beta trials bikes or any type of Beta motorcycles. I just think as a recommendation and in the current down turn they if any will still be around to provide spares back up. Best wishes. Alan.

As you can tell the world of trials is absolutely booming and overflowing with enthusiasm, or it was years ago until Donald Trump and his mates came and killed the world economy stone dead , I would recommend using any money that you were thinking of spending on your trials bike to help build a nuclear bunker in your garden. If you really are intent on trials then I would say that a BETA EVO 2010 on is a bike that is good as a modern trials bike and has good spares availability although nothings cheap these days.

If you are in the UK then there are 3 cranks on ebay at the moment £40 , £50 , £80. take your pick.

I know how you feel , Its nicer to have the proper parts but these days so many old bikes are being renovated around the globe that there seems to be less and less genuine parts available , and if you find something the opportunists are selling at ridiculous prices. Luckily its not gearbox parts etc that you want. Hope you find the actual parts. Regards Alan.

Make one out of plumbing parts etc super glue silicone sealant and jubilee clips will help , Auto radiator hose etc etc , Duck tape, use reticulated foam in the right places near an airbox to fend off mud and water splashes .

If t was me in your situation , I would be changing the oil and putting something different in to see if it altered the clutches operation. There are plenty to try out from 10w30 Mineral Transoil to ELF HTX 740 or PUTOLINE N-TECH TRANS GP , or GP10 , NILsl Clutch Trial Racing. and a few more on top. Different oils can give different clutch action. Have your clutch in bits and improve it with a bit of file work etc check everything is how it should be.. Did you thrash it while slipping the clutch in a high gear to punish it for its non compliance perhaps that may help what you describe sounds like the perfect clutch for a WTC rider it may be designed to behave that way . Good luck in your quest. Regards Alan.

tlr-evolution.co.uk email: gary@tlr-evolution.co.uk. Trial Tube have a video titled Trial Tube Best TLR's you have ever seen ! - Classic Bike Reveiw . That is if you have not seen it already of course. TY Off-Road built one of those TLR's with an alloy swing arm and it has a TLR 250 brake drum . TY Off-Road is now TLR- Evolution same people who built the bike I just mentioned .

You need the old out of production ALPINE STARS NO STOP BOOTS I would recommend going for 1 or 2 sizes bigger for toe comfort if you find some on ebay ...... they come on fairly regularly normally almost new in condition in the UK . The soles are not very flexible compared to other boots.

This bike is based on a 125 frame , the 125 was a very popular TY version in France as it was a road going Trial motorcycle , the frame had a lot of extra weight because it carried lots of extra lugs and brackets to take all the street bike rubbish like indicators , ignition switches ,battery etc unlike the much lighter competition version that the TY175 was/is . Here is some inspiration if you want to take ownership further. https://youtu.be/b2fMtHB2bv0?si=EsqKQCv7u5ZNV

The only setting I have for the pre TXT PRO motors is 2.7mm before BTDC.

Usually they have fixed settings. The stator and the pickup up mounting holes have holes they are not slotted but a previous owner could have filed them to give some movement for their own modifications , some people love to fiddle of course.

I take it you don't trust their claims. Not really surprising I suppose in a world of lies/liars. Its made in the usa by an american company so its got be your first choice really. Regards Alan

Off-road TTR motor is the best option, but will be hard to find cheap . Street bike YBR motor swill be the same fit as the TY but easier to find second hand /used and cheaper.
