  1. I know this has been asked before but I can find anything recent that helps. I'm thinking of getting a van and wondered which was the smallest that would carry a full size bike and a beta 80. I've been looking at the partner at around a 12 reg so hopefully this would fit them in?

  2. How hard is it to fit a kill switch to a 315r? Under the tank there are two wires with connectors attached not going anywhere, one is green and the other is black and white, would these be what the switch connects to?

  3. If you are good at electronics you can buy all the stuff you need and do a lipo battery upgrade( plenty of discussions under electric bikes on this forum)

    I'm not so took the safer easier(yes more expensive) route of a ready made pack from boost bikes. Depending on terrain, speed etc they last up to 4 hours and save several kilos.

    Been worth every penny for the extra use he gets from the bike at a trial

     

    Thanks timdog

     

    No I'm not that good either, and those packs are rather expensive!

     

    After the batteries ran out yesterday we put the bike away and I've been out this morning and turned the key on and it shows on the battery indicator on the throttle that the battery is three quarters full? Does this mean the batteries are past their best or is the charger faulty?

  4. I'm looking to buy some new bars for a bit of a 315 project I'm on with, but there seems to be more options than I remember from years gone by in terms of size/rise. What would be the standard rise for a trials bike? I'm talking about the old style with the crossbar.

  5. I'm currently looking for some kids trials boots and all I seem to find is Wulfsport which look a bit chunky. Can anyone let me know what they're actually like for fitting and comfort please, or what other options there are?

  6. Cheers Peter. I have just noticed that the gearbox oil is white when looking through the little glass on the casing, I suspect that this is a water pump seal problem but could this be causing a whiring noise?

  7. I recently bought a 2008 beta 250 and im concerned about a noise coming from the engine, sounds like a ssshhhh kind of noise that gets louder as I rev the engine. I asked a few people at a trial today and a couple of them said it sounds like the mains are on the way out and others said theres nothing to worry about. I have taken the flywheel cover off and there is no play on the flywheel but when I rock it back and forth there is a slight rattle coming from behind it, is this normal? Can anybody shed any light on this before I have it stripped down.

  8. I have just bought a Beta rev 3 with a bent brake pedal that is resting on the chain, that much that it is starting to wear through. Before I buy another one I would like to try and staighten it first. Will I be better off heating it up or just trying to bent it cold?

  9. Depends on wether you want to learn the art riding trials or just potter around on the easy course for a bit of fun. If you want to develop skills go for a smaller engine as this will make you use your body more and learn different techniques, where as a larger engine capacity bike will just pull you around anywhere, hence not needing as much effort and technique. Im 12 stone and rode a 200 for a couple of years and found it to be a very good, competitive bike, although most people will say that they are too flat don't listen as they are good enough for any decent clubman rider and will enhance your skills.
