Totally agree with you Ben, Westwood this year Wasn't a patch on last years round. All the ACU have achieved is that they have ruined it for spectators & for the majority of riders.
the one i had must not have been a arrow one ??? it was one of only a few brought into the country from Italy by a friend of a friend thinking back it must have been just a factory exhaust ???? but the power etc was very very similar to the arrow i have fitted now ???
It will be the factory one as I posted on the link, They do sound a lot different to the standard, Chris who posted on this thread has the ultimate Rev 4, & that has the racing exhaust on, 300 Kit & Also Has the Racing CDI, Camshaft & Titanium valves, It's get shed loads of power!
Got to be the arrow exhaust ?? expensive but well worth it for the sound , powergain and smoothness cant recommend it enough had one on my rev 4 and got one on my evo 300 4t the difference is very noticable you wont be dissappointed
You can't have had one on a rev 4, they don't fit. The arrow exhaust is mega but is only for the evo.
Yep The 2007 Green Version, It's pure awesome to ride, Feels great, It is more tricked up than all of the others that were made, Can't believe it still looks like new!
Dont believe everything you read, they might be better now but the team were all front and glossy websites.(I did say were)
There was not one future bike at the WTC so if they were special they would be there surely?
Before you make statements touch and feel the truth.
The TRW Machine is better than the HM Bike everytime, And Know exactly how many mods they did with it And trust me that List isn't no where near to what the TRW bike is.
There isn't any riders on them in the WTC anymore because Francesco Iolitta isn't riding the WTC this year,
When TRW were the main sponsor for Future they had Dabill & Wigg on them in the World rounds, Dibs even got his first SSDT win on the 07 Bike.
they werent even a full 300 wiggys bike was 272cc, they chopped about at the swinging arm for no good reason the shockers weren't that good and ti bolts dont make it special.
Gearboxes are standard as was clutch forks never had anything done to them and the mechanics really weren't very good, all from personal experience with them at wtc.
Before you make statements, Read the right hand side on the link, And that is more cut down than the TRW bike and it's 292cc! And don't forget Future have secrets as well!
They are, To be honest you don't actually realise how high tech they are, Engine is very very different, Very tricked up bike, Including titanium bolts throughout
Toni Bou's Factory Montesa, it's the most specialised bike being ridden today, & then Fuji's and followed by Ex Dabill TRW Future 300 (2007 Green Model), It's very very High tech.
I thought both our boys rode very well. My point I was trying to make was had another bike been available a better position could have been gained. I thought it was standard practice for the top boys to have two bikes.
Brown rode well, As he always does, 100% effort, But Dabill was dissapointing, For being the number 1 UK rider & British Champ, His riding should be better than that, He started off well & looked confident, But again he let himself down by another stupid mistake. & that mistake cost the UK Team Of a possible second place.
In my opinion, Alex Ferrer rode the best (apart from Bou), & has been riding well recently.
Glad your sorted with it, I have the same bike as you as well, And to be honest the clutch does rattle a lot, much more than on my previous 290 evo, I think it's just down to the different plates.
My previous 2010 290 had the exact same problem, Tried everything with it, Complete New clutch, Different gear oils, Still didn't cure it.
I tried the Beta clutch mod, But didn't make one bit of difference, It would be ok when cold as you say with yours, But as soon as the engine warmed up, No chance with it, Before I started a section i had to get the bike in the correct gear first, Because the lever wouldn't move one bit when stood still,
Eventually had enough with it and took it in to Lampkins, & John had it sent back to Beta Italy, & got a new gearbox put in, Was right after that.
I'm just glad my 300 isn't the same!
The different thickness shims could work, But it's just finding the right ones so the clutch doesn't slip as you say.
Will more than likely be the stator what's died, Beta's are terrible for them going. It's Always worth disconnecting the kill switch first though just to see if it's that, Especially before splashing out for a new stator.

10kg lol, Beta's still feel light enough to me. Obviously the Beta is better for Jeroni as he is getting fantastic results on it.
