thanks i thought he was wrong, i am an engineer but not a mechanical one but even i could see it was a daft idea......i'm a bit concerned now at what other thngs he may have managed to do wrong to the bike mmmmmmmmmmmmmm thanks again inmate

hi peeps, ok bear with me, when i picked up my beta evo 250 the guy i bought it from did seem a bit clueless and there were several things he did not mention , al these were faults of course not any bonuses , but when he picked the bike up off the stand he put his hand underneath the silencer and lifted the bike up. to me the bike had no subframe and should have been picked up rom the back wheel as when i got the bike home i noticed that the bottom rubber mount on the silencer had broken in two. whos's right me or miss knibbs , how are you supposed to lit the back end of the evo up off a box stand TIA

Cheers yes well worth a look, thks. I really need to get out and practice but that was always the perenial issue when i rode Enduro, where tp practice. Well now i,m older I am really conscious of not wanting to be seen as a local yob (Or no*) razzing up and down my close so where to ride mmmmmmm I'm thinking of maybe a car park somewhere or a private commercial park rd just to get some time on the bike before I venture to a proper trials park. The bike is quiet enough to take to some woods but in this country its pretty difficult to not annoy someone just putt putting around in circles for 30 minutes lol

Will give that a go cheers, although the front suspension seems to be very soft compressing about 40-45% with me on board in my civilian attire, I'm about 13.5 stone so a little on the soft side. I hardened the forks up a tad and that seemed to help but I also put the tires up to 10 psi so slightly over pressure. Obviously on a concrete floor with the engine off so I'm hoping for easy 30 seconds stands when outside engine running on the dirt.

Cheers the gearing is correct 11/41 and yes I have a leaky header so I need to remove the expansion pipe section to fix that anyway. Thanks , great advice !

Hi Inmates, I have a question on the EVO 250 2014 , OK so this is my first trials bike and I have to say compared to my MX / Enduro the barrel from the outside looks more like a 125 then a 250. I know that in order to be 100% you need to take the head off and measure the bore but can anyone confirm that their EVO 250 engine barrel externally is around 11.5 cm wide. That would help put my mind at rest that its not a 125 or 200. If there is any other way to determine the cc of the engine externally that would be useful to know, thanks.

Howdy, long time road and enduro rider finally saw the light and bought a trials bike , keen to learn the dark art , nowhere to ride the thing apart from the back garden , currently just sorting some maint issues out on the bike and practicing static balance in the garage, just done 30 seconds stand which I thought would be easy on a trials bike but not for me it seems , over 50 but still loving motorcycles , Cheers peeps!
