tom2010 Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Hello! just bought a 97 (advertised as a 98 but had gold forks, dougie lampkin rep and says 1997 world champion on the side...) needs a few bits doing to it... what number wheel bearings does it need? (fronts and rears) what type of engine oil..? how do i remove the air filter, seems to have two thick rubber rings holding it down? radiator cap is below the fuel cap and it seems to be a bit loose, is it just bolted to the frame under the 'seat' plastic?? front brake is pretty awful so going to service that the clutch is pretty stiff too! is this standard on tehnos? it's not overly stiff just nowhere near as light as an 07 sherco i rode recently.. but i'm more used to enduro bikes so if it is normal it isn't an issue think thats it! for now at least! any advice or regular issues with them would be much appreciated cheers!

welshoneder Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Hi mate, Oil - use atf fluid (I use dextron ATF 3000 or 4000) it makes your clutch work much better (less drag), also look at the clutch plate mod in the "sticky" at top of page. As for the wheel bearing if you remove them you should have a number stamped on them, take these to any bearing manufacture and the will swop you a fully working brand new set for about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Cheers very useful thank you! i've taken the air filter out, and carb off and cleaned that, front caliper is off, back one isn't yet, just awaiting some fluid for it! but getting there with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshoneder Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Another suggestion, take off you exhaust (front section) from engine to centre, and have a look down to see how much the bore has reduced due to carbon build up, I had abount 5mm around the entire bore. 1hour in the garden wiv blow lamp and air compressor and all clean! engine revs much better, doesn't bog down so much now.

welshoneder Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Think it takes 500CC of oil, but just check the sight glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phila67 Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 hello new to this site. Just acquired a 1997 Techno. I saw somewhere within the posts that a member had a user manual. If it is at all possible I would love a copy? I have scoured the net and been in touch with Beta UK and they say they d not supply them anymore. Any help would be really appreciated Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
