i had the same problem with my beta, the trick is put the bike on a stand so the front wheel is barely touching the ground, pull both caps off, pull the drain plugs, grab the front wheel and compress the forks a few times to make sure they are drained, put the plugs back in, find a block of wood or some thing to put under the front wheel so the forks are up as high as they go, fill the forks with the new oil and hold the front tire up remove the block and slowly let the wheel down, (work it up and down while you let it down, but 310cc sounds right, that all may not fit when the forks are compressed, once you work them down to fully extended ad the rest and cap them off and there you go!!!! it's the long hard way but it worked for me, i had the exact problem, what it is, air gets trapped in the oil and creates a false bottom, just like any hydraulics, they need bled, hope this helps out.............................JOHN

(MY BUDDY JUST GOT SOME) HOPEFULLY IT HELPS YOU OUT, THE PHONE # IS ON THE WEB SITE, GOOD LUCK!....................JOHN

yes this is a big issue and everyone around here is telling me all sorts of things, i just got an 06 sherco 2.9 and love it but in turn i'm starting a buddy on my beta and i don't want to ruin his experience by riding a poor running bike, i grew used to it, and believe me i don't know how i did it now that i got my sherco? but i will check out the timing, i bought the bike a year ago and the whole ignition system was replaced so maybe it's set wrong? but thanks again you've been a great help, most people around here are just like if it runs ride it! i'm wondering if it would be the same if it were their bike? very weird but true!

I have a web address for you, its www.bukugraphics.com, they can make graphics #plates, banners just about anything! thats who did my #plate and it's nice, the tele. no. is (570)322-0270. give them a try, I was really satisfied, I think travis fox helps out there?

I have a 99 beta techno and when i got it it ran fine, the dealer told me to run 93 pump gas through it, but when i got it home it had half vp red and half 93 in it, it ran fine til i used just 93, then it ran real ****ty and real lean and im wondering why such a change? i,ve been spending about 12.00 a gallon to ride cause when i switched back to the vp mix it straightened right back out?

i,v grown so used to my beta when i got on that sherco it was like wooooooooh yeah! I've ridden the new betas but they are like mine only newer and lighter, i got a good deal from jerry young, his son owns r.y.p usa, and i've been hooked ever since!

just got my new sherco after a year on a beta techno dinosaur! what a difference!
