Balance Training
let air out the tyres and as you get better put more in, dont ride with your tyres too flat though.

09 Beta At Spanish Round
that is very true, dont think that either of them will be shifted soon. but it is good to see that there is still competition in the championship for first, next year should be entertaining

09 Beta At Spanish Round
i think he could do it aswell, provided this new beta (and that he is staying with them) is up to the job. he has beat cabestany in a few rounds and even managed a second in the last one

Hardcore Crash

2009 4rt Prices
it seems strange that they would increase the price so much during the current "credit crisis" and possibilities of recession. and considering that there are now competetors on the market, the lighter and more powerful sherco 320, and the proven beta 4 stroke engine, now avalible in a 300cc model. And a gasgas 4t soon to be released, they no longer dominate the 4t market. if any i would say that beta will have the most popular 4t bike over the next few years.(provided people could get used to the new looks)

One For Clerks Of Courses
i agree, the rider should have told yourself, and i he couldnt find you tell someone who was taking in the cards. that way you would know to tell the observer to get a grip. (that is not ment to sound biased but its true) if the rider and the observers problem is irrelevant to trials , then they should not have carried it onto the trial. and anyway even if you do take the give rider B the 37 points , it will not change his position so is there any real point in protesting you have a toughy on your hands, perhaps you should give the rider his two cleans and refuse the observer to take part next time. (i konw we cant turn away observers, but is he a relyable and and fair one- it seems not)

Paint Work
i would leave it bare, but only because i wont spend the extra money. but seriously, the swing arm lakes a good bashing it would look crap after a couple of rides. but if you have a "garage" bike then maybe you should
-
Paint Work
if you are going to powder coat it do it red, and do the wheels aswell. i seen a bike from the ssdt like this. probably still in the pictures of this site. then you can add alll sorts of red bling to it, it could look totaly mint, if you have deep pockets
-
Welding Exhaust And Frame
its very worrying that a bike that new needs welds to the frame and exhaust, if you didnt drop it from a massive step i would try it on warranty. even if it is passed its waranty time i would contact the importers, i done this and got a new frame from sherco, eventhough it was months past its warranty. you wouldnt say no to a brand new shiny frame now would you

Has Anybody Tried This?
cant see anyone having a problem, they are a well recognised brand throughout motorcycle sport. did you see the tricks and tips section. this looks quite handy

08 Sherco 290 Forks?
if so, which they are. why would sherco advertise thier bike with "new Ceriani front fork" if they are exactly the same as the 2007(plus previous modles).??????? i suppose that they must be new because the have a fancy "new" kevlar sticker.
-
08 Sherco 290 Forks?
they were spelt phoneticaly.
-
08 Sherco 290 Forks?
i would go with the manual, the dealer seems to be talking bout the pioli forks, which are on the 2007 modle. the new range have centuri (or something sounding that) forks, they will no doubt work diffrently and will require diffrent levels of fork oil the the previous years. if it doesnt work you could always go back to what they were before.

Rev 3 Reluctant To Change Gear
my bike and all other previous bikes (sherco and a gasgas) were very difficult to change into nuteral when the engine is running. they are like this to prevent the gear selector selecting nuteral if it hits a rock. and on my bike the change between 1st and 2nd is a little sticky, i recon this is for the same reason

Beta Hunting
mine does this when fuel is low. if you tank was full, perhapps you have a blockage in you fuel pipe or carb jetts?? that is all i can think of. i am guessing it ran perfecty before this
-
Beta Trouble- Yet Again!
why dont you phone or find out through Lampkin importers, they are always enthusiastic to help. they have to be to sell bikes. the standard jetting should be fine, so perhaps find out what the sandard is and use that, if you still have problems you should definately contact them. when changing the jets make sure you clean jets and passages with compressed air.PS, i am sure the stock is a minuki carb, why not change to that, they cant be that bad, every other 2007 125bike i have heard has ticked over with it.

I Want To Buy A New Bike
personaly i would get a beta or a gasgas, had problems with my sherco (major frame breakages). i love my new beta, wouldnt cange it if i was paid to. I would however reccomed the if you want a new bike, just bide your time and get a new 2009 bike. get one on order, sure you cant test them but wait for press releases and see what diffrences are done to each modle then try and get a shot of the 08 modle and see how they compare
