was out for a while saturday on my beta,the road to where we ride is about 2 miles long so its flat out all the way!

no problems going but coming home the bike cut out several times? dunno if this is anything to do with carb float bowl thing or not?

anyone had any probs with a plug cap jumpin off? funny notion thats what was doin it!

although my mate swerved into a puddle in front of me and send a wave up over my head,lot of water completely drowned me and the bike,the fooker

If it was your plug cap jumping off, you would have had to put it back on again to get going again wouldn't you??

If you have the stock kill switch on your bike it can do this. I've seen it happen on several Betas. Ditch it and get a Yamaha kill switch.

I think that Dan was suggesting that the kill switch might have been working unexpectedly. They can do that even if they won't stop the motor when you want them to.

If you're having plug cap problems, make sure you are using the correct plug top for the cap. The standard Beta cap requires you to remove the aluminium nut from the top of new spark plugs. If you don't, the cap won't stay put.

std plug cap,with the little screw top removed from the plug yip!

i think its the fuel starvation problem,only did it when flat in 6th gear for a while!

was fine once you started to ride in the trail

cheers gonna get the little bowl extension tonight and itll be out tomorrow to see if that helps,then trial on sunday in wicklow!
