  1. Hello Ship ,how's it going ?

    Well not rode since the start of the second week of October due to being stuck at work through bad weather.

    Got off last Saturday afternoon only to endure a 15&1/2 hour boat journey in 25 foot waves .Sick as a salty sea dog .

    Now stripped GasGas down and removing a partially dis assembled motor from the frame .

    Bore Good.

    Piston and rings good

    Little end,slight play,

    Big end no play or noise,

    Mains no play but starting to make noise,

    When you consider it's almost 14 years old and there's no evidence what so ever of prior dis assembly ,

    that's bloody good!

    Photo's to follow.

    You would be lucky to find that in a 14 year old Beta, from what i have heard.

  2. I have Betor shocks on both of my Honda's. TL are normal way (spring near the top) TLR are up the other way, But I think it is just for clearance for the spring. I am also pretty sure the fitting guide says they can go either way.

    I am also pretty sure some will only work up one way.

  3. Actually I have had similar Issues, and as said if you have helped set up the trial or maybe set it all up, you probably didn't look that hard before riding, Tiredness is another issue if you have been climbing around sections the day before.

    I have found that Drinking quite a bit during the first lap helps (with cramp too) as the first lap is always the hardest for me.

  4. put the forks back on the bike to undo top caps, then remove from bike. Don't over tighten clamp bolts, the clamps do snap.

    not sure on your actual forks but the bottom bolt can be undone with an air gun or battery impact gun, (assuming the internal is spinning) make sure you clean out the head of the allen bolts so that tool fits all the way in.

  5. I may have got this wrong (won't be the first time) but I thought the guy that started the Scorpa company and then later sold it to concentrate on the Sherco company.

    Then bought scopa back again when it was struggling,. to save the brand name from going bust.

    I personally like the new scorpa more than the Sherco, Although I haven't ridden either.

  6. It does sound like the fluid is not returning to the reservoir, take the rubber boot off behind the lever and make sure the plunger is moving freely. There is a spring in there and they do wear out.

  7. Check the earth wire under the tank just in front of the seat, I think its green, clean the connection and make sure its tight. I had exactly that problem, ran fine till you revved it, then it would pop and bang.

  8. It really bugs me when I hear statements like, the " ORIGINAL KILL SWITCH IS VERY POOR" The most important safety feature on the bike and Beta can't be bothered to fit one that functions properly. You don't really get much for your money when you buy a trials bike compared to a road bike the manufacturers could do better.

    (not just Beta)

  9. So it needs to be slacker because there isnt any play in at the moment?

    It could be your lucky day then, just release adjuster until you have a little free movement on the lever and give it a go. If you have no slack then you are effectively riding with the clutch partially disengaged.

    If you have an adjuster at both ends, adjust the bottom one first then use the one on the lever to fine tune it if needed.
