Do these beta's still wee petrol out of the carb? or have they soreted it now.

Get your allen keys & spanners out & work round the bike methodically checking all the bolts are tight, it's easier to see if damage has occured when you are actually poking around it.
Check also for worn brake pads and play/roughness in any bearings or shock linkages/bushes.
You can use the pressure washer but gently, and only to remove the mud. Brushes & hot soapy water for the rest.

Those "bark buster" wrap around type handguards are just right for breaking your forearm when your hand slips off the grip and goes through through the loop.
This has happened many times in enduros and many riders kindly warned me of this when i started enduro racing with a pair fitted. I certainly wouldn't fit them to a trials bike
If your problem is riding into trees then maybe you are doing something else wrong?
-
Tidy looking bikes there guys, are you riding any of the traditional or sammy miller rounds?
-
Whilst the sump guard is off, clean the underside of the engine thoroughly and check for corrosion.
These engine cases are magnesium, and can corrode if mud is allowed to sit in between the engine & sump guard, clean this area regularly.

Everyone will tell you their own stories on this, a couple of ex-professional riders both told me never to use fully synthetic oil in an air-cooled trials engine, but i can't bring myself to use semi-synth after the silkolene comp 2 episode which cost me an engine rebuild.

No, he said the frame was just like the 250 one pictured, that would be 1994, seem to recall the jazzy graphics appeared in that year also.
Judas, post a picture of your bike & i will tell you exactly what it is.
-
If i remember correctly, the 160 gas gas was actually a 146cc or thereabouts?
I'm sure someone will be along shortly to correct me, you could always ring gas gas uk with your frame no. and they will fill you in with the details, that frame on your picture is definately 1994 though.

No more than 4 PSI rear, about 6 or 7 PSI front.

Nice one Phil, any piccies?
-
50:1 would actually result in a weak mixture, more oil = less fuel.
Though would hardly be noticable on a trials bike.

This one:

That's a much improved steering angle clearly

Never been used!
No, it's not mine.

These bikes get a real slating on here for very poor build quality, but considering you only paid
-
I can't bring myself to say it!

-
I like the idea of the WD40, but wouldn't something like GT85 with teflon be even better?
-
I use 55:1 fully synthetic with regular octane fuel.
No problems here.
-
Pressure wash very close whilst turning the rear wheel usually.
Sometimes soak in tin of white spirit if i'm feeling really anal.
-
Tony283, beautiful hondas there, a real credit to you.
However you appear to have undone all that good work with that ghastly TYZ,........ AAARRGH MY EYES!!!!!
-
Impossible to advise on airscrew, especially on an older bike which may have several worn components (and now no airbox), every bike was different even when new.
You just have to gradually home in on the settings until the bike is running sweet, and you can't seize it by having the wrong airscrew setting as this has little effect on the running of the engine once its revving a bit.
Good luck

I don't see what you would use this tarted up trail bike for.
Certainly not trials.
