Hi..I currently have a Mont 315 and I am thinking of changing to a Rev 3. Ideally it will be no older than 2004 so I am looking for buying advice on this year model. I have read quite a few threads on this forum relating to dodgy stators and leaking carbs !. Are they as bad as they sound !!

Thanks

Had quite a few rev 3's now and most of mates have them as well. Only one bike has had a stator change out of about 12 or so from our lads bikes, tend to only here about the dodgy ones not the many good ones. If your buying a 04 onwards the carb mod will have been done (Ask the seller) and the float extension is worth getting (

Maybe I have been lucky, but I've had three Betas and zero stator problems and only one leaked fuel bad and on that one I did the fix in the forums and no more problems after that. They're very nice bikes

Recently bought a Rev 3 2004, very impressed with it and a mate who comes biking with us and is S**t hot rode mine the other day and said how good it was and he really knows his bikes and has just bought a Brand Spanker of a different make so that was a real compliment.

TOP TOP bike I bought mine in April I think it wee`d everywere but done the float height mods kept the bolts tight and it`s brought me on leaps and bounds. Beleive people when they say the Beta is built well mine takes the odd bash here and there but neveer faulters

The odd bash?

The odd bash?

Shh I plan on selling it sometime! seriously though it`s mint Betarev3 has seen my bike catching skills too save it from a fall (no-one mention the finger that wasn`t a catch attempt!)

Thanks for you replies everyone... I have been keeping an eye on this one which is on ebay at the mo. As it quite close to me I might try and view tomorrow. What do you think !!

if it`s close well worth the look especially as it registered just give it the general once over ask too look at the air filter condition get a good check there no leak on the rear shock and you should be ok

I have an '04 315R and recently picked up an '06 Rev3 250, haven't had much seat time on the Beta but intial impressions are lighter, better balanced, engineering makes maintenance a little easier, and similar over-all build quality.
