I did turn it over several times no difference. Have to admit I didn't check for top dead centre.....I guess you whip the plug out and look to see the piston tdc ? any other way ?
yes you will have to take plug out check piston at top
yes get it on tdc if valves are tight you maybe a revalotion out so turn it over carefully till the T mark comes around the next time you should now be set to check
They may be easy to adjust, once you get to them! I have been eyeing mine, and don't think that it will be possible to do without dropping the engine down, in the frame. The way the radiator, and front down tubes are made, it appears that you could rotate the engine down, while still connected at the swingarm pivot, and then make your adjustments. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has actually done the job.
As far as living with the bike, I love mine. Prior to the Beta, as far as 4-strokes go, I had a Scorpa SY175F, followed by an SY250F. Overall, I much prefer the Beta. The oil changes are slightly more time consuming, in that you have to remove and clean the two filter tubes, in addition to changing the main oil filter. But, it is only a matter of a few extra minutes, which seems worthwhile for the extra protection it brings.
Build quality is excellent. Mine starts, and runs great, with no problems at all, much less "big ones".
hi to check valve clearances you have to drop the engine down you can disconect everything and pivot engine down on rear bottom engine bolt
I think Smage ran one to test most of last year without problems. You would probably be well advised to contact Adrian at Lewisport for more info or a cost comparison with the Ohlins.
