April 22, 200521 yr I've just noticed a big crack in the upper yolk on my '02 Rev3 near the pinch bolt. Guess I overtightened it and hit something hard at an angle during the trial earlier this week. Anyway, having just spent quite a bit of wedge replacing seals, bearings, C&S etc., the bike maintenance fund is somewhat depleted so I'm trawling around looking for a cheap replacement. Are the yolks on all Rev3s the same? What about earlier models, would a part from one of those fit? There are a couple of complete assemblies on eBay, but the description says "from a Beta trials bike approx. '96/'97 - no further model information". Failing that, anyone got an upper yolk they'd like to sell me?
April 25, 200521 yr Neonsurge...I guess you've already seen it..but if not, there is a top yolk, from a Beta Synt...on ebay uk. It LOOKS similar to the Rev3 one to me..but I guess its unlikely to be the same??
April 25, 200521 yr Author Yeah, seen that Stu but unless I can get it for next to nothing, I can't really afford to take a flyer on it at the moment. I guess I could email some measurements to the seller, but it looks like there are a couple of people chasing it at the moment. Thanks for the heads-up though!
April 25, 200521 yr No worries...its almost certainly a no-go..but I'll ask around here as well, in case there is anything.
April 26, 200521 yr Author I spoke to Lampkins' yesterday and a Synt yoke definitely WON'T fit a Rev-3. And after disassembling the front end of the bike it looks like the broken piece is too small to be welded New part ordered.
April 26, 200521 yr Glad you got it sorted....keep yer crash helmet on in the house, in case the missus starts chucking pots and pans at you
