[adam28]

Just bought a new Beta and noticed some oil dripping out of the exhaust where it joins the silencer!, and I also noticed the clutch was a bit noisy when pulled in is this normal on Betas? Any suggestions. Thanks

not got one myself but a friend has

when he got it he had to take it back and have a mod done on carb as it was running to rich very hard to start from cold would flood in 2 kicks

he now takes the petrol pipe of as well after riding i dont think this does much but reminds him to turn petrol of

which dealer did you buy it off.

mine used to drip oil out of that joint until I started mixing my oil at 80:1, what are you mixing your oil at and what type of oil are you using as many modern oils can be used at 100:1 reasonably safely.

My clutch does make some noise but that may not be supposed to be happening, although it hasn't been a problem.

Beta carbs flood very easily, especially if you park it facing downhill. Always turn the fuel off when you stop the engine and consider altering the float height (details here ).

if it is a new machine why not take it back to the dealer you purchased it from??,surley he will sort it for you.

Thanks for all your help lads. I bought the bike from TW Bikesport Adn it is not a new bike it`s a few mounth old .I used to run my sherco no a mix of 80-1 so that might stop the oil leaking.
