stork955 Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Gda, Ive had a look at that spring and I'm going to get one. As a fat ******* at @# stone I do bottom the bike occasionally. I've had no trouble with water getting in anywhere on mine, touch wood. Cheers, Stork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liviob Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) How many pounds is 11 1/2 stone? I installed the rear white spring and made up a front spring to match. My suspension works much better now, but i had to do alot of fiddling with oil viscosity in the fork and rear damper to get the suspension to work well. I weigh 250 lbs. How many stone is that? My ignition will get water in it during washing. I remove the cover and let it dryout and spray the internals with a lite oil like WD40. I just looked at the spring on saunders website. I think it is a different spring than the spring i purchased here in the states. The spring I have is more than 10% stiffer.

chewy Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 How many pounds is 11 1/2 stone?.......... 14 lbs in a stone (we are dreadfully antiquated over here) 2.2lbs in a lilo (genuin mistake that should read Kilo.. a lilo is an inflatable beach bed/toy) I have fancied my suspension is a bit soft but as I do practically nothing heroic (big)and practically no hops or bounces etc. and soft suspension does a lot of work without being noticed if you know what I mean.

eddie_lejeune Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 for the past 13 betas that I have had I use sealer, (not silicone) and seal the flywheel case up and then forget about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilertrialler Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 As the title says 2010 evo, I would like to ask ,how are people finding the clutchs, mine is terrible, wont select gears if adjusted correctly at lever, have tried different oils, have had new steel plates fitted,not alot better, anyone, fitted surfex/apico plates?? , thinking about bleeding system, will that make any difference? as for suspension, have adjusted forks stiffer, done on adjusters, one turn on pre load side makes quite a difference, the rear is soft but am sticking ith it for now.

Mine was the Same, read the Beta Clutch fix at the top of the page, follow all the steps, just done mine & is a lot better. But Odd times it still won't shift up gears though. The Beta Factory do a clutch kit for the Evo's, might be worth a shot. http://www.betamotor.com/en/trial/parts/kit-frizione-evo-2t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westygas270 Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Gears and clutch spot on on m9 just pain to get netural most of the time.

anyoldiron Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I dont think sealing the ignition cover completely helps.I know there are some folk who even seal the top of the wires at the headstock to stop water running down like through a drain into the ignition.Water WILL get in.It only takes a second to take off the cover and let it dry out after cleaning it or riding.Hey Eddie L-those 13 Betas you had;how long you keep each one?

Does anyone know why there is a clutch kit availiable? There are many parts to the kit. Is the basket in the kit shaped different from the stock clutch basket?
