I think most people would agree that the Beta Rev3 is a great bike - but what irks me is Betas reluctance in the past to address a number of common recurring problems with their bikes namely:

1. rear shock protector/rubber flap wears out on rear tyre

2. corrosion problem with magnesium water pump casing

3. stator failures

It may be a little early to comment on the stator issue, but can any EVO owners report on whether these problems have been sorted on the new models?

tks

I removed my 290 evo from the box it was delivered in and it had with two square holes worn into the mudflap before i took it out of the box. If i were Beta Motors i would be embarrased. Especially for what the purchase cost is. I hope it dosent develop the other problems that you mentioned.

I've had the rev before and could get about 30 minutes out of the rubber flap on the airbox, on my Evo 4-stroke I have many hours on it and it shows NO ware ! Happy with the evo and so far no problems with it.
