[Beta 250 Dougie Lampkin Rear Brake Bleeding]

Hi

 

Yes you push the piston on I use a piece of wooden dwell  but you can use a screwdriver. 

Same technique open nipple push in close nipple. 

I also place a peace of wood 12mm wide in between the pads to stop the pots coming out to far.

Hi

I can tell you the caliper needs to be at the lowest point i know it seems strange but it works.

Normally I would bleed then hold the lever in over night allowing air to travel up.

Working on bikes can be both rewarding and frustrating at the same time

[Beta 250 Dougie Lampkin Rear Brake Bleeding]

Hi

I had the same problem. The pipe goes up then down on the bike and its hard to remove all the air

It is easier to remove all the brake system and bleed on your bench  hold the piston higher than the caliper. 

Once bleed refit.

[1999 gasgas txt270 good choice for first bike?]

Hi

Had one as my first bike, people told me to powerful for a novice  but it all depends upon how much you twist the throttle.

it depends on where you are going to ride as it can pull your arms out.

As with old bikes some parts are getting  hard to find. 

It seems to be a little pricey. 

[Beta rear brake blending]

Hi

Just bleed  mine it takes time and you need to be patient. 

Good luck

[Oily fuel mix coming from exhaust]

Hi

Thanks for the advice but when I kicked it over last night there seems to be loads running out where the rear box meets and it smells really strong of petrol. 

Could it be the float in the carb

Should I just keep running it until it gets red hot.

Regards 

Wayne 

[Oily fuel mix coming from exhaust]

Thank you for the advice. 

I assume that it's been over oiled

[Oily fuel mix coming from exhaust]

Hi all

I've just bought a 1996 beta techno it had not run for 5 years the seller fuel it cannot it running. 

Due to having seized brakes which have rebuilt. Its time to start the bike. 

I've replaced the air filter and spark plug 

The bike kicked over second time but a oily black fuel mix as come out of the exhaust  it seems to be a fair amount

As anyone any ideas what this can be and how to resolve it

[Trials and Tyres]

Hi

Haven't any idea on tyres but just ordered  a front and rear mitts trials tyre for just under £100  I am returning to trials and as long as they have knobs on they will do.

The amount of use they will have it's a good chance that they will perish first
