Hi there. Bloody bike died at the bottom of a pit. Just stopped. No spark. I have checked everything and all the conectors and kill switch look together. I iamgine this is the stator that has gone. It was running perfectly before it stopped. Do people agree ? Why didn't it happen at the top of the pit. It took 3 of us to drag the f*****g thing to the top !!!

Mine died just like that a while back,turned out to be a plug.Never had a plug just pack up like that.Bad luck for you if its the stator.Bummer.Get a Montesa and move to Norfolk ......

Two stators in six trials from new on my '04 and I'd had enough. I'd been a fan of Beta's until then. It wouldn't be so bad but 2003,2004 & 2005 models had the same problem.

I don't want to give Beta a slagging off as I have had this bike over two years and this is my first stator problem. All bikes have a weakness I suppose as do their riders. I have been in contact with West Country Windings and they will test and rewind my staor for

The importers and the dealer were brilliant when I had stator problems, it's the manufacturer that I can't forgive. They allowed a known problem to continue for more than one year and that's unforgivable in my opinion.

The second stator went within six trials and I couldn't believe it so I kicked and kicked to try and start the bike until I broke a bone in my foot that has hurt for four years now.

I tried the new Evo and really love it, but the pain in my left foot when I started it reminded me of those damned stator problems.

I think the problem is there:http: //www.newenglandtrials.org/Beta_wiring.pdf (read this!!)

You have to split earth wires.

You both can be angry on Beta factory not to ATF ( stator,coil and cdi manufactor). Because Beta does the wrong-bad earth conections.

Hi , i also thought i was facing the dreaded stator problem. Turned out to be nothing more than a plug problem.. Not always bad news it seems.

I wish it was a plug problem. I carry a spare plug, levers and mini tool kit whenever I get on the bike. I've ben caught out too many times before !!!! The first thing I did was try a new plug and check for a spark. When I realised it wasn't sparking I knew it was something I couldn't repair at the bottom of a pit. Got a day off tommorow so I'm going to check all the connections one final time before i order a new stator or get mine re-conditioned. But i think it is the stator for deffo sadly.
