lol he says he can send the beta on a pallet for 50 quid.....now i'm guessing thats to the local scrappy

uk stockists too flat black aswell. google search www.caswelleurope.co.uk

excellent jon thankyou very much

hi tried the search function but it wont let me search the "in" part something to do with too few key words,so can anyone advise me on the best method to run in a new top end (beta techno) and what mixture would you recomend for break in thanks

thanks both i will try the oven cleaner method as the bikes top end is apart at the minute which rules out the rev method,never thought aabout the oven cleaner i used to use it to strip the anodized finish off gsxr frames when building streetfighters,so i know its pretty potent stuff.thanks again

hi can anyone reccomend a good way to remove the carbon build up in a manifold,mine seems like its welded on.

thanks arun, yes all i want is the top end replaced by them,im happy to keep the bike if they do this,who is nigel birket any contact details for him seller is now paying for the work to be done so all is good

hi arun no the bore measurment is that of a 200 and the bike was sold to me by a dealer who is now completly ignoring me hence the solicitor...but i agree there prob ****e mechanics also mine does have a steel liner,my first thought was someone has sleeved down the 250 to make it a 200 not sure.

strange because its been fitted with a 200cc engine ,time to consult a solicitor i think

the parts diagrams show i should have a small end bearing,took my jug off last night and there is not one on my bike,its not been put together by mistake with it out, As the gudgeon pin is tight in the rod,there would not be any room for a bearing,anyone know whats on here?? did they make them in 1999 without the small end bearing

cheers stork,i trailered it to a mechanic today and he whipped the manifold off and can rock the piston forward and back with his finger sticking thru the exhaust port,he said it needs a new piston kit..great anyone know the best place to get one i tried jk hirst and they want

is it normal for a 99 techno to rattle on the top end ive just taken delivery of one with a fairly loud rattle comming from the top end,is this normal or does it require futher investigation cheers

agreed,get your wallet out ya tight git

thanks both not sure how easy they would be to get for me,but will bear them in mind

hi does anyone know where i can get a stiffer rear shock spring for a 99 techno,failing that who can point me in the direction of a custom spring maker in the uk ive tried ktech with no joy,any help appriciated

shame i'll get along to the next one for a gander,thanks for the link

hi any trials on in cornwall this comming weekend.

good luck and you dont need a number plate for mot as they can mot it on the frame number.all i had on my mx bike was a halfords horn.rear reflector and a speedo that turned on (it wernt even wired up)

thanks addict ill put them on the list

thanks for the responce everyone.bikes taxed and tested but not yet insured as i only got it today just thought i would rather ride it to the grounds than pay for van rental.i expect i'll have some fun on ,monday getting insurance though.thanks again lads

should have mentioned..in the uk

hi as the title say's really...is it legal to ride on the road standing on the pegs (trials bike)or do you need to fit a seat im not doing long distance just around a 3 minute to the practice grounds.i would of thought it aint allowed but ill check with you guy's first

thanks everyone 250 it is.

thanks cr500 i rode one once and that was enough does anyone know a company that makes uprated springs for them also

hi im leaning towards the sherco's over gasgas for a first trials bike ..now hence the username im 16 stones in weight would i be better suited to the 290 im looking around the 2001 models
