2008 Rev 4 Question

Featured Replies

Hi All

There is a nice 08 Rev 4 for sale near me which I quite like the look of. I read through this forum and it appears there was a kickstart mod that Beta did for this model. The question is how can you tell if the mod has been done ?

Thanks

hi from what i can remember the mod is a longer shaft to prevent the kick start catching the frame

have you ridden one? if not i suggest you do before you part with your hard earned.

Its was needed on the 2007 as the 2008 was sorted before leaving the factory from memory.

Ever owned one?

Once jetted properly, I loved mine. Owned it for almost 3 years. Only reason I went back to 2-stroke Evo was money. You pay more for the 4-stroke new, and then sell it way below value used, due to the smaller number of buyers, that want a 4-stroke.

Raise the needle all the way up - clip on the bottom - they have set them lean in the midrange to pass emissions. Experiment with pilot jet setting but 2-2.5 turns is about right for a smooth idle and off idle feel (and a resistance to die). You will still need to set the idle high at approx 1400-1600 rpm. Main jet is normally correct from factory.

Pardon my ignorance, .but when we talk about raising the needle , which needle are we talking about and how do we do it ?
