Hi my brother in law is selling his 1998 beta techno it is in good clean condition with purple and grey plastics.

The left fork seal is leaking a little and the rear brake needs bleeding apart from that the bike is fine.

If anyone is interested p.m me and i will forward you his phone number he lives in morley west yorkshire.

He paid

The purple and silver one is the 1997 model and not 1998.

Also its prob more like a 270cc rather than a 280 or 300 as i dont think betas have ever came in those cc's.

as i said its not my bike so it may be a 97 if anyones interested pm me cheers

I have a '97 Techno. I note with interest the bit about "the rear brake needs bleeding". I have spent HOURS trying to bleed mine.

The caliper's been stripped, I've changed the banjo bolts for Goodridge ones, I've tried a new bleed nipple, I've tried it with and without the little ball-bearing that sits behind the bleed nipple. I tell yer, I was wearing more brake fluid than the bike was carrying !

The problem was not getting the fluid through it's the fact that I can't get any sort of decent pressure. I've now decided that it MUST be down to the seals in the master cylinder. Although they look ok they must be releasing the pressure when it's applied hard. Does that sound reasonable? Are seals readily available?

Back off the plunger going into the master cylider till its barely moving the piston and take it in half a turn at a time ,bleeding as you go and this should give you a pedal if everything else is ok. Hope this helps , been there!!
