  1. Fair enough,didn't know about the 2018 models
  2. Ktm 2t all have carbs,all 4t have FI.,wonder why? Would Beta know something that KTM don't?
  3. John lees in Northamptonshire are your closest stockist I think
  4. Seems the land agent has something against trials.This is the 4th time they've done this for some reason,don't they want the money?
  5. Use super unleaded instead,it doesn't go off like normal petrol

    Top End Carnage

    Piston was in back to front.I wonder if you might be better off sourcing a replacement engine,it might be cheaper
  7. Take them back as they're brand new,don't touch them
  8. Fajardo may move,think he's as good as he's ever been but not going to improve,If Busto has a good year he might not want to move unless HRC offer much more .At the moment he(or anyone else)would be number 2 at Honda.If he has a bad year would Honda want him back
  9. Makes you wonder how they survive,pity you can't name them so others don't get caught
  10. If it's blown a lot of coolant out check the head gasket (maybe O Rings) also.Are you sure your fuel/ oil mixture was good and it hasn't nipped up as suggested.Was it being used hard just before it stopped,if it was idling it seems unlikely it seized upIf all the above checks out ok I'd suspect the stator
  11. It can be either coolant escaping or piston blow by sending fumes out of the breather,you need to find out which.If the coolant level isn't dropping you know where to look next.Not sure what blocking the breathers will prove.Is it overheating,which it will if the head gaskets gone
  12. Does the water level in the rad drop?
  13. Think the way is to take the banjo bolt out and measure,also measure the master cylinder bore
  14. My Jotagas had that problem .I solved it cutting the thread deeper with a triangular file and reduced the overall diameter with a flat file.Shouldnt have to on a new bike though.
  15. Strip down time,definitely main bearings ,hopefully big end OK,hard to hear anything else
  16. If you push down on the seat front and rear should travel the same,you should be able to get it right with the adjusters
  17. There's New and used AJP on E---y uk ,I'd start with the front brake calliper and master cylinder too.Not sure if the Formula brake hose fits,I'd then swap the rear calliper.If the clutch works OK but is just heavier than you like leave it.The latest Braktec is good ,you might find it easier to obtain locally?Theres no cheap way to sort it unfortunately but once it's done forget the cost and enjoy the bike
  18. Is it the standard shock?Wants to sag about 1/3 of its travel with you standing on it,it shouldn't be far out with your weight
  19. Yes they did,but you can still get rebuild kits for the master cylinders.The Formula stuff was pitiful when new,don't waste your time with it.The latest Braktec products are good too,but expensive when new and the early stuff was poorly made .There are Trials bike breakers on E,,y,good luck
  20. Less weight,better suspension,cleaner running engine with a bit more power,much better brakes,more grip,not had 17 years wear

    New Boots

    Any brand is fine
  22. Ask to try a few mates bikes at your next trial.All modern bikes are brilliant,there's a big difference between yours and a recent one.Dont think you need brand new,1/2 years old well maintained bikes that haven't had a hard time are out there
  23. Either brand 250,condition more important than age
  24. As long as they're both Domino throttles it's a straight swap,5minute job
