June 23, 201412 yr Hello All I keep burning my leg and melting my (expensive) trials trousers on the exhaust pipe, on the right hand side of my 2013 Beta Evo 250. Has anyone fitted a guard that has been successful? Thanks Tony
June 23, 201412 yr Jitsie makes pipe guards for all brands. Will save your pants from the heat as well as protect the pipe from damage.
June 23, 201412 yr My wife had the same problem on her 2014 Evo 250 4T. Not the muffler area it has a good guard but on the header when she went over a few times. Melted holes in the Wulfsport polyester! I put a leather patch on the effected area which will be much more heat proof than the poly. Doesn't look too neat but works well and saved some money on new ones! Mags
June 24, 201412 yr Don't know of a specific guard for the right hand side of the pipe. But I know exactly what you mean about the pipe on the 250. This is me and the wife and that is me about to burn the inside of my right knee( It even left skin stuck on the pipe) the cooking smells kept me think about the burger van until the end of the trial.
June 24, 201412 yr After a similar burn on my riding pants, I made a similar patch for my pants out of nomex fabric.
June 24, 201412 yr I fitted a carbon look plastic guard that's held on with double sided tape and it melted onto the exhaust took me ages to get the crap off, I have just ordered a Jitsie carbon one, not cheap but its better than damaging the Titanium front pipe.
June 24, 201412 yr P@ul250, Now thats a great family pic! I'd have that framed and hanging somewhere! Try not to "burger" ya leg anymore.... or carry lettuce, tomato sauce and a bun! Mags Edited June 24, 201412 yr by mags
June 24, 201412 yr Well there's your problem. Your supposed to keep your feet on the pegs! LOL. I get it now. I think a trip to the tailor is in order.
June 24, 201412 yr P@ul250 ; We need the video and audio from that helmet cam on your buddy's helmet .... (your wife ) You'll be famous and we can all enjoy it . I want to hear the commentary on your control ..... But Mags is right , that photo should be framed .... Glenn
June 25, 201412 yr I learnt a lesson that day I can tell you! I went at that bank a bit too slowly and we started to slide to the right. So I dabbed. BIG MISTAKE! Here is a link to my youtube page. Haven't actualy got a clip of that insident ( was taken down because if the swearing) but loads of over mistackes as Debbie and I try to lurn the black art of sidecar trials. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcWYVK524qvTXrnxiY-eXYg/videos Edited June 25, 201412 yr by p@ul250
