IF it happens he won't be short of offers don't see him needing to develop a new brand unless the money was too great to refuse
-
Major development on the bike was pretty much done by 2011, the more recent ones ride very similar ,only the 2015 ones have been significantly improved with the carb and shock but the price has jumped up accordingly .Speaking to local riders most feel £5k is as much as they want to pay for a bike ,most aren't earning much more than 5years ago
-
Tps-throttle position sensor ,informs the ecu how much the throttle is open so it knows how much fuel to inject and what ignition advance.Idle speed increases with more air same as lifting the slide in a carb with the throttle stop screw . Ecu sees this and adjusts fuelling to suit Idle speed doesn't alter mixture unless ecu deems it necessary

250 evo is a good choice but your budget is pushing it a bit for a nice 12 model Best to buy on condition,a clean 11 would be a better buy than a less than good 12 Sorting out a well used one can get expensive
-
fair enough price for an adult,but maybe if the family ticket was reduced more families would go
-
I had a 2010 290 and in the dry it was great but hard to get grip in the very slippery mud we have in the winter It would go up anything you pointed it at in the dry though,very powerful top end .My scores would have been better with the 250 but not so much fun
-
Looks like Jgas will have to fight back I don't see many riders trusting another unproven Spanish brand either
-
A few turns of plumbers ptfe tape will seal it
-
gas Gas Ossa Jotagas future seems uncertain,how many will take a chance on Vertigo or Trs? Irrespective of how well they ride
-
Reckon you'd be ideal James you're well connected in Spain and knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the brand Are the problems Steve Saunders encountered solveable I wonder ? The factory should make an official statement on this and hopefully announce a new importer sooner than later
-
Try phoning the factory and Steve Saunders ,emails don't always get seen straight away . I'm assuming you're in the UK
-
What parts are allegedly unavailable?
-
-
Chain tension wants to be 3mm between swing arm and tensioner pad with both wheels off the ground .I like the clutch feel with putoline gp10 oil it works fine on atf as Telecats post just bites a bit quicker There's a few tips on the Jotagas UK website and Steve Saunders is very helpful Love my 250 don't want anything else
-
Looks fine,I wouldn't change anything just enjoy riding it
-
Sounde like you use heavy fuel
-
Not the same as an original yzf one which are £180ish I reckon there's a difference in quality .Engine out job to change it on an Ossa too.4rt ones don't seem to give trouble and I bet they don't use the ebay ones
-
Bit worrying that the pump only lasts that long worth trying the cheap ebay one .Ossa are taking the p--s if they want £300 for the same thing
-
9/52 is ridiculously low Betas aren't high in 1st and 2nd as standard .As regards stalling with the clutch in it sounds like it needs the clutch modded as described on the Beta Clutch Fix post on the Beta forum . Trials is the most skilful of all motorbike disciplines,don't expect too much too soon,respect to you for having a go .Some lessons from someone like Steve Saunders would be a good idea
-
Bashplate is structural if it becomes flattened it tries to push the rear engine mount back so cracking the cases .The mag cases on the Raga don't seem as strong as the standard ones
-
KTM make superb enduro and motox bikes,both 2t and 4t.All the 4t have fi all the 2t have carbs I wonder why?Feel sure they must have tested fi on 2t but haven't put into production(yet?)
-
Have heard of them being successfully welded,I would search out a company with good experience of welding magnesium .I don't think new cases would line up with the frame,do you have access to another bike you borrow the engine from to try it in the frame to find out?Ive only heard of the magnesium cases breaking never the normal ones.Good luck with it
-
Where/how can the DVLA registration figures be accessed ? to prove the above post
-
A good engineering workshop could weld it and re machine it
-
Adam can't just leave if he's contracted to 2017 unless he's owed pay which would put his employers in breach of contract .Difficult position to be in,can't see Beta or Sherco taking him if he has to go,don't know if the GasGas situation includes Ossa which leaves Jgas and Vertigo which would be great for them if they're in a position to take him
