has anyone else used the Amal 80/200 throttle ? if so how do you like it Thanks Geeman

If his knees are bad just go to the local Butcher and get some Kid Knees !!!!!!!

Thank you Jordi

any results ??

ajharry what year did you remove the weights ? I believe the older weights are a different Dia ( internally ) to the modern bikes can you measure the ID of the weights ? thanks geeman

Dan what parts do you have available ?? I am interested in improving my 2016 300 Factory I have had a few times when I selected 2nd gear from a standstill & it popped out . Thought it was just my fault for not shifting properly !!

Yea agree standard screw and a long slim screwdriver easy to adjust , I find having a flashlight helps to locate the slot !! Cheers Geeman

Boner I, have used one for several years , It serves two purposes , one, is to help mud ,etc. from entering the top of the air box and two , it supports the rear fender ( mudguard ) in the exact position where you seem to sit when fighting for grip with both feet down . Without it ,the fender will flex quite a bit and will eventually fracture !! I highly recommend one and the cost will perhaps save you a rear fender in the long run !! cheers Geeman

Thanks Dan and Lineaway I will look into the OKO option and I also am very very careful working on any part of my bike unless I have new spares in hand !! Thanks Geeman

Hi Dan you say "damn near impossible to source " can you tell where you were able to get them ??? I had heard that they were impossible to find , but damn near is a lot better Thanks geeman

v1nn1e not quite sure how Busto could be leading by 1 before the last section if the final scores are correct Bou with 8 - a 1 on the last section = 7 Busto with 14 - a 5 on the last section = 9 am I missing something ??

Thank you , I will email them and see what they say , I have found that the 17 shock and the 18 take the same spring ,so I am hopeful that they have already supplied heavier springs for the 17 .

Thanks but I don't see anything for the 2018 Factory !!

Hi I would like to buy a heavier rear spring for a 2018 Beta Factory 300 does anyone know where to get one I do know the one of my 2016 will not fit . Thanks

Femi how are the bearings holding up now that you have had more time on them ?? Would you be kind enough to give us the part numbers you used ??? thanks Gordon

I have confirmed that the primary side weight is an added weight . I assume it is added by Beta for certain models ,( Mostly for the UK market) and I know that they (Beta) do not sell it as a separate item . also the added weight is a different material and not hardened like the primary gear . So now all I need to do is find a used one and transfer it to my primary gear !!

Thanks again for the input guys !! I have no interest in buying a new bike , I am very happy with mine all I want to do is add the clutch side weight ,and see how it works . I also would suggest that the new Super Smooth has more done to it to have it perform like a 40 year old . I doubt adding 25 ounces will turn my fire breathing Factory 300 into a 40 year old !!

Dan do you know from experience if this weight is a press fit onto the normal primary gear ??

oni nou Thanks for the tip on holding the gears !!! I am wanting to do the opposite as in , adding a weight to my primary gear I see where you can purchase a complete primary package ,I would like to be able to just apply the weight to my own primary gear . I know now that the weight cannot be ordered as a separate item , so I had wondered if I could find someone who may have removed it . ( without just machining the whole weight off ) by perhaps pressing it off . I will also ask Dan what he knows .

Thanks guys for the info I will check it out . I wonder if the weight is a press fit onto the primary gear and has anyone removed the weight to make it a little more responsive It seems a lot to have to replace the complete primary drive !!

I am trying to find an added weight for the clutch side of my 2016 300 Factory Beta I am led to believe that the UK Beta's have this weight installed on the primary gear on the clutch side . any information would be helpful ?? thanks

Thank you , will do !!

Would you care to share the Videos ??

A couple glasses of the said Vodka consumed will allow you not to worry about the stink !!
