Beta newbie

[Noel09]

Hi everyone. I'm totally new to trials, and to fourms! . I just bought a 2007 rev 250 4-stroke. All I could afford at the moment. I'm just wondering where would be the best place to source parts? I can't seem to find anything on line. Every search seems to throw up parts for the 2504t RR )which I assume is a beta enduro bike)? Or the 2stroke trials, but not the 4stroke. I want to service it and do fork seals and replace a few bits etc. Thanks in advance Noel.

Most rolling chassis parts and controls are very interchangeable between trials bikes, things like brakes, wheels and suspension assemblies are largely common between models and even manufacturers.  We can almost tell you what all parts are going to regularly wear out and need replacement, wheel bearings linkage bearings, fork seals and slide bushings, brakes, levers, tires and chain.  Most buy a spare air filter so you can always have one clean, oiled and ready to use.   Tether kill switch is normally an add-on to trials bikes and a component that can often cause problems after some crashes.  Being a 2007 model you should be replacing all fluids, brake fluid will be done by now if not already replaced.

Ah thanks. I'm going to do all fluids and filters before riding. Looking to rebuild clutch master as it's dragging and leaking at master! Fork seals are leaking and front wheel bearings are gone. Looks like petrol is weeping from somewhere under tank. That tap on the tank looks to be broken or different from the manual too. Loads of little bits to do. Thanks for help.

Fuel tap on your bike is a little strange and over-engineered as a result of being fitted with a carburetor instead of fuel injection,  Wheel bearings only last a year or three at best.  Fork seals wear quickly if the slide bushings are not set perfect, note that when you get new aftermarket slide bushings you might need to do some careful hand file work on the parts to make them fit well, I clean and dry fit the bushings to inspect for clearance, fit or stiction and then finish the assemble.

If you are UK based, BVM Moto have loads of spares and they are Beta dealers so should be able to hopefully get parts.

Thanks, loads of little jobs to do!
