Hi

Its worth checking the reeds too.

Hi

A bit of end float is not too bad, sounds more like an electrical problem.

CDI, or coil if its separate from CDI, or as its a Beta probably the stator.

I would check all wiring connections and earthing points, new plug, and make sure top end doesn't need a decoke.

[It May Be Small But Its Fun]

I took my old TL150 out to a Trial last weekend, the first time I have ridden it for probably three years. I normally ride my 350 Gas Gas and love the power but it can be a bit of a hand full sometimes.

I have obviously improved quite a bit as a rider since last time I rode the Honda and I had a great day and was quite surprised how well I did on it.

I will definitely be using it a bit more now.

Another thing I had forgotten is that everyone loves those little bikes.

Next week end is a Tenterden trial which isn't too far away and our club have one on the 5th of May I think. at Canterbury.

Stevem099. There is a trial at Barham along the Elham valley this Sunday if you fancy watching, its quite a small venue so you wont have to walk too far to see all the sections. details on the Barhammcc website.

[Rear Tyre Bead Seating]

I have used the a bmx tube and it works really well, my son used to have loads of them in the garage and they are just the right size.

I have also in the past popped in to my local bike shop to get them to pump them up as they have a high out put compressor, they have never accepted payment for doing it.

I think a kill switch is regulation for ACU trials.

Stevem099 you can find the information on the ACU website.

Have you joined a club yet? Folkestone club is just down the road, check out our website. We meet in the Drum

pub at Stanford once a month for a beer and a chat. once joined up you can ride all the local events.

[What Did You Do To Your Gas Gas Today?]

Shyted, sorry to here about your Gash Gash, I know a couple of people that had brake problems with new 2013 bikes.

Took mine out today (1995 model), had a great Trial 36 sections in the woods. Brakes were fine .

And my mate keeps asking, when am I going to get a new bike?

[New Memeber Puzzled With A Honda Restoration Project]

Hi gelert

as already said, sounds like an XL185. what does the number say on the crankcase down by the gear change shaft.

I did have an engine that was bored out to 180 years ago (still got the bottom end) but you had to resleeve a 124 barrel and machine the cases to make it fit. you could see the machining as it cut through an oil way in the case.

hope that helps.

Hi stevem099

You don't say what part of the world you are from, so I can only say how it is in the south of the UK.

Your bike will not be scrutineered at a club Trial, as long as it is safe, balls on your levers throttle shuts off by its self and your brakes work you should be ok.

Have fun,

TLTEL

[First Play On New Toy]

That's it you are hooked!

Nice looking bike, best Beta I've seen.

TLTEL

[Scorpa Or Fantic]

I would go with the Scorpa, easier to ride as its probably lighter, it will have much better brakes and suspension than the Fantic. it won't be so much of a hand full as the 280

But any of them will be ok though if you are only playing.

I am 52 and have an old Gasser and twinshock bikes, but find the Gasser much easier to ride than my TLR or TL.

I think its always been pinking in this country. I remember my dad demonstrating pinking in his Morris minor in the early 70's.

I had never heard of pinging till I came on this Forum.

[Txt 250 Sprockets Not In Line]

Hi

Glad you got it sorted, not sure about the chain, I think mine is 100 link and that's with a 42 /10 set up. but my sons bike has 44 rear sprocket.

I am pretty sure that I bought two 110 link chains last time I replaced them and cut them to suite.

That's a 520 chain.

Well done for not giving up on it.

So you got it running at no cost and learnt a bit more about your bike in the process. Sounds like a good day at the office!!

[Rear Tubeless Rim 36Hole For Suzuki Beamish]

I think you will find most modern rims are ok, as most are 36 spoke, they do come up on ebay quite a lot, just be prepared to buy a wheel and scrap the hub.

[Bike Started Making A Knocking Noise Beta Rev3 06]

No you don't need to turn it upside down. looks like you found the problem.

Clean it all and it will run good again...

I also use the higher octane fuel as you seem to have better running with it.

These two strokes can be a bit fussy.
