The pram man/??

Will do ,

fitted a gecko rear tyre yesterday, on a 2013 300 evo, .Previously had an x lite rear, took it out for a practise along with a mate using an x lite rear, started at 4 psi . Did a variety of sections on our land streams rocks banks mud and roots .continued for an hour deliberately kjept ridind a sharp waterfall which would have an irc go down, In all situations never struggled for grip, Went for a drink and reduced pressure to 2.5 psi ,, rode 2 more laps of the same, and came away impressed,, mate got to our house and fitted one on the rear of his 250cc beta. Checked pressure today and still 2.5 psi,, trial at the weekend so I will leave that wheel on and give it another .. lets see how quickly they wear the edge of,,?

could be a few things , front tyre worn, wrong pressure, front spokes loose, roller bearings , fork set wrongly , forks too much or too little through the yokes, front mudguard stay loose?

Have to give credit where its due , this evenings trial finished at around 8.45 pm and the trial results are on the clubs website at 10 pm,, the same evening,, good stuff .. Bradford trials take a bow,,,

NO one can comment unless you say where the trial was which club,,?? sounds like it was set too difficult/ ..

Bruce weve had around 6 or seven evo,s with the keihin carb , only had one which had a slight problem overflowing , 1 remove carb and clean ,2 remove floats with the silver pin ,, it just slides out , when you remove the floats you will see that the needle is attatched to a little tang , with a thin piece of shaped wire, 3 take youre q tip , or cotton bud and carefully add a blob of toothpaste a give it a spin in the recess where the float needle sits, this helps to clean this area and gets a good seal, 4 as you look in the floatbowl youll see the brass over flow tube sticking up at an angle you can buy a tiny little stopper which reduces the diameter of this , it is a push in fit , this is available from gary or Richard at beta uk,, This little stopper vastly reduces any overflow from the carb as it sloshes about,, THE MIXTURE screw is not a static setting warmup the engine thoroughly and start with the screw around 1 full turn out from fully in and adjust until you get the best response ,, this can be anything from 1 turn to 2 , each engine is different , hope this helps Bruce,,

WHY BALLS ? and who too?

if you had to fill up twice to youre brother getting round for a tankfull ? sounds like youre losing fuel somewhere. there was a few sections on sunday where the bike was at a severe angle, either up or down, have got the breather pipes routed correctly? Idid the same trial and got round for a tankfull,had to go on reserve for the last half dozen sections or so,, jetting in my BETA i s standard 125 main 48 pilot . ...

Hi betarick is there something wrong with the way youre bike carburates at he moment? or do you just want to see what its like with different jets ? try 45 0r 48 pilot. 125 or 122 main . needle in 2nd clip from bottom as starting point airscrew in between 1 to 2 turns out try different settings see what feels best for you...

Have owned the 2013 evo for 3 weeks now, clutch worksbetter than any evo or rev 3 i have ever owned ,, can get neutral easily, better than a 2013 gas gas. airbox is now fully water tight, bar dropping it in a stream. Just taken me a while to get used to the super soft power, softest power ever had on a bike, but its the only bike i ever owned that i havent stalled yet ..... ever .. so far its very very good...

Couldnt you see him riding the sections? Anyway i liked his video , good practise place i reckon. happy new year to all..

thanks ,,, got one now ,, picked it up from trials uk yesterday thursday , took it out for 3 hours in the afternoon , got to say im impressed , good suspension, starts easy, very smooth, grips well and steers well, tookit out again today for 2 hours,, and its very very good,, happy chappy,,

Thanks for that anyone else? have any comments or views,?

Hi has anyone got a new 2013 250 cc pro yet if so what are your impressions so far ,,, thanks,

Who is the team manager,,?

Can only agree Doug should be in the team , ?? was he asked.

remove the cap from bike , underneath you will see the yellow part that is on a spring make sure this is seated properly , poke something in [an allen key ] to try to get it seated correctly , bear in mind the spring is quite weak ,, hope this helps, if not get a new one under warranty,,

Wash it,,,

agreed , 3 new irc ,s fitted to 3 evos mine and my sons , first section with a step and all went flat, luckily i was 1st back to the vanto get the spare wheel , fitted michelin since and no problems,,

2012 evo when it was 3 weeks old ,stopped on its own , tried plugs carb etc ,, then discoonected kill switch behind right side panel and it fired 1st kick, this after me pushing back to the van to get some tools, why do they always play up when your furthest away from the van? fitted aftermarket kill switch and is great now,,

i got a pack with 4 of these at the local car shop for 2 quid m5 -25 filed the end a little and used the spring off the crappy plastic thing, can adjust it now with any flat blade screwdriver easily ,,,works ok for me,,

Ive replaced with a metal one ,and a small spring , 2012 evo ,, no problems so far ,, and yes the 2012 seems to run really clean, best evo ive had so far ,,,

Just and a word or two to point out the great service i recieved from beta uk this week, had a problem with my 2012 evos front brake caliper , a small crack , one phonecall to Gary and i picked up a new caliper today,complete with pads . No hassle just great service,, THANKS FELLAS ,,,,,,
