hi has anyone changed their steering bearings on a beta 80, we have a 2008, if so would it be possible to get my bearings from a bearings company or do they have to be from beta agents,
do you use white waterproof grease or normal grease,
Hi I have the same problem with our beta 80, i've tried alsorts, not been able to fix it, so if you do manage to fix the problem, let me know how you did it
i have a T reg but they go up to 2001 i think in the old shape, similar to a corsa but with the van bit at the back as apposed to a car, i put one bike in facing outwards then the other oppsite, but both at a slight angle, engine size 1.7, look on ebay you'll see some, not bad price and seem pretty reliable,
Hi has anyone ever changed one of these seals, i have a leak where the drive cog is at the front, how would you suggest i did this, to remove and replace with new one
thanks for your replies, i will try the water pump seals, i haven't noticed water disappearing, it's just when i empty the oil it looks slightly milky in colour, through parts of it, and when you look at the window level, with new oil in, rode it once and the window looks white again
Hi i have a problem with my sons beta it keeps getting white in the oil, which i think is most likely water, i was told it was the window seal, (indicator to show how much oil is in it)
i've replaced the seal (rubber ring thingy) where you put the oil in,
was told that the seals were checked and ok for the water pump, but haven't checked myself
is there anywhere else it could be coming from
any advice on how to fit the water pump seals if you think it is that
hi sorry to hear that, my son did exactly the same thing at earl shilton today, but lucky enough for my lad, friends spotted them and was on the phone to my wife when we got back home
hoping you are as lucky and someone picked them up who knows you to return them to you soon
hi we are also members of estc, riding tomorrow, and the club is excellent for the youngsters to get started
he is possibly a b rider but you can ride out of class, my lad is 11 a c rider rides a beta 80, if you look on the acu website you will find the 'rules' on there, or get a acu rule book, although here is great for info
Hi could anyone tell me the right gearing on the front and rear sprockets, because at the moment the bike appears to be running on when you slow down on acceleration, going into sectons,....or is it the novice rider
i don't know what oil that has originally been put in the gear box, but i'm thinking of putting Silkolene gearbox oil light (says for competition and off road bikes)....do you think this would be alright ? also how much do you put in? still waiting for my manual
also at the moment using Putoline 100% synthetic for off road and 2 stroke
thinking of using Silkolene comp 2 plus SX fully synthetic ester ultra low smoke for competition and off road bikes
been using Silkolene in the past for road racing sidecars and get a good discount whick is why i'd like to use them on this as well
My son has a ty80 and now has about 6 months experience on conducted courses, want to now move him onto a lighter bike , what do you recommend Beta Sherpa Gas gas ??? staying on an 80
my lads ty80 having problems, i put crankcase oilseals in, then did a trial, then because it was back firing , smoking, didn't even want to start(this was after trialing for a few hours, started running lovely at first then started playing up) i replaced them again, thought maybe made a mistake
was doing a mentoring day yesterday and now it's back firing , smoking and don't want to start, somone mentioned there is a screw to drain the crankcases of gases but i can't find it
but when first changed the seals runs lovely , just after a few hours (think only 2 hours yesterday starts playing up)
Hi i am struggling to get my forks back together , the fork sprung apart and bits went everywhere, , i have a parts list but can't work out how they are supposed to go back together looks like double dutch,
if any one knows how to get them back together or let me know where i can get a workshop manual, it will be most appreciated
probably when i have done the first one the other one will be easy peasy, hopefully,
Hi I'm Mick, my son has a ty 80 and he has started to trial at earl shilton so i've got myself a bultaco 325 and hope to join him soon when i've got the bike ready
