July 24, 200818 yr Hey, Yesterday, i washed my trials bike (beta techno) because it was rather grubby. I Started it up today and its not ticking over correctly, the exhaust is making popping noises, and not the kind of popping noises it usually makes. If i put it in gear, and pull the clutch in, and use the back brake, it just stalls. Also if i lift the back wheel off the ground, while in gear + running the bike shakes around =/ If anyone know what this could be, maybe water got in somewhere? Would they please let me know, thanks. ~Foz
July 25, 200818 yr At a gues it could be water in the exhaust for the popping, and mayby water in the crancase. not sure how it would get in there so eisaly. do you use an exhaust bung? if there is water in the crankcase then get it sorted asap. because i did the same to mine and got it dry within 4 hours but the main barings still went rusty
July 25, 200818 yr Author Ok thanks, i'll take a look at the crankcase. And no i don't use an exhaust bung. ~Foz
July 25, 200818 yr Take the plug out and kick over. Check plug for signs of water. Drain carb. Clean check air filter.
