Hi, I am looking for a bit more power from my evo 250..I was wondering if it is worthwhile fitting an S3 front pipe, What are peoples experiences of them ? do they save much weight ? and do they have a good sound .to them ?. .Many thanks.

I wear a pair of .knee guards under my riding pants. I bought them from a sports shop and only cost £10, They don`t restrict movrment at all and have saved my knees from getting a good bashing on .many occasions.

.Thanks for all your replies.I t seems as though people are favouring the 2012 model over the2011 .Has anybody owned the earlier model and how do they differ ?. As with the last post .- what does a 2012 go for now and .also the 2011 model ?.

Hi I currently have a 2011 Beta evo 250 and am considering replacing it with an Ossa. I am looking at 2011 and 2012 models, are there much differences between them ?. How reliable are the Ossa`s and what sort of regular maintainence do you have to do to them ?. I have read about the re-mapping that needs to be done, what other mods need to be done. ? . I know the bikes are light but how do they ride compared to a Beta ?. Hopefully help from forum members will point me in the right direction, many thanks.

Pardon my ignorance, .but when we talk about raising the needle , which needle are we talking about and how do we do it ?

.What do you mean by the pilot jet circuit Dan ? How can I tell if a reed is damaged and are they easy to gain access to ?.

took the carb and air filter off this morning, gave them both a good clean, removed jets in carb, cleaned with carb cleaner and sprayed in every orofice ( even got some in my eye !! ). Put it all back together and it was marginally better , adjusted throttle cable and it seemed a little bit better and also adjusted the air screw..There seems to be a tiny bit of a flat spot and the noise ( intake of air ) is coming from the air box. Any ideas what could be causing this to happen?

thanks for the advice. I intend to have a go at your tips on Saturday and will report as to what rhe outcome is.

i HAVEN`T HAD THE BIKE FOR LONG. i DON`T KNOW IF IT HAS AN INLINE FUEL FILTER. WHERE SHOULD I BE LOOKING IF THERE IS ONE ?

hI , i HAVE A BETA EVO 250 2011. tHE BIKE HAS DEVELOPED A FLAT SPOT JUST AS YOU OPEN THE THROTTLE. tHE REST OF THE REV RANGE IT RESPONDS FINE. i AM USING AN NGK BPR 5ES PLUG AND AFTER EVERY USE I CLEAN THE AIR FILTER AND CARB.. i HOPE THERE IS A SIMPLE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. MANY THANKS.

Hi can someone please put on a picture of a keihin carb. Took my carb off today and cannot see where the pipe that goes through the float bowl connects to on the main body of the carb. /many thanks.

I ,too went to Express signs a while ago,ordered some stickers and he never got back in touch, went to SXS eventually. A bit more pricey, but worth it in the long run.

I have recently bought an.2011 evo 250.I have noticed when the bike is running there is a small trickle of fuel .leaking out and going onto the ground. I can`t really see where it is coming from. Somebody suggested it could be a sticking float, how would I rectify this problem ? Many thanks.

Give Mark a ring at North East Bearings and Transmissions,they are based in Middlesbrough,..He has always been very helpful when I have needed any bearings for my Beta.

The Whitehawk`s I remember from my youth had red tanks and plastics fitted. The frame was also chrome,looking at you pic the frame does not look like it`s chrome, Maybe it`s just a standard Ty that has been bored out to 200cc, that is just my recollections, I am sure .other people will have different views.

I bought a pair of these boots over 3 years ago.They are still in good condition. I always wash them after every use,allow them to dry naturally and every so often give them a coating of dubbin.

Progrip 4010 off-road gloves are very good,more padding and better protection than thinner trials gloves.

I was thinking of going to spectate on Sat, where does it start from and at what time ?.

I don`t have the use of a .blow torch,but do have a heat gun,would this get the same results or not.

There doesn`t seem to be much development on this topic. Surely there must be forum members who have come up against this problem.Your advice would be much appreciated.

My Beta has been noisy for a while,re-packed silencer made no difference.My local bike shop says the noise is coming from the mid-box.Probably due to a build up of carbon.Took it off the.other day,filled it with petrol and let it stand.Cleaned it out today and flushed it out with Gunk, There didn`t seem to be much carbon .coming out. I was wondering if I used Caustic Soda it would get more carbon out or is too strong to use on an exhaust. Forum members have had conflicting comments on using Caustic Soda. Can anyone help with good advice.Thank you.

There seems to be a distinct loss of power on steep inclines.Have also noticed going down long declines when I shut off the throttle there is a popping sound coming from the exhaust.

Just been out on my rev3 today and noticed a loss of power going up steep hills.Before I could go up in 3rd .now it just manages to go up in 4th. I have just had the silencer re-packed at a dealer,so wonder if the mid section is bunged up as the re-packing hasn`t quietened the bike down much. The bike is an 05 model so I was wondering if it might need a re-bore. Thanks for any good advice.

I have re-packed the exhaust today, started bike up and it didn`t sound much different.I did notice on the exhust near to the air box there are two rubber seals and one of them is split.Would this make the bike sound louder ?.

I have a Beta Rev3 250.The exhaust is a bit loud and i have been advised to have it re-packed. I have taken the rear silencer off and also the black part that fits over the end of the exhaust. I can see all the packing inside,but want to know if I take it out will the baffles then come out.I have heard that you are supposed to soak the exhaust in petrol to get all the crap off. Is that all the rear silencer or just the baffles, ?. Good advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
