  1. Rear Mudguards 2012

    Posted

    Hey, there are plastic darts that Yamaha uses on ATV fenders and snowmobile windshields are mounted with plastic 5mm screws, I could come up with some part numbers if you are interested

    Just a thought

  4. Beta Evo 2013

    That was on older models, this is from Beta website

    Light/Map Switch: mounted on the side to avoid damage, it also houses the switch for the dual mapping settings.

    Kill Button: positioned on the handlebar for practicality and ease of use.

  6. Jetting A Keihin Pwk For 3,000 To 6,000 Ft Altitude For Rev 3 270

    in Beta

    Posted

    Well....been through a lot of snowmobile setup for those kind of altitudes, it is all about barometric pressure on the surface of the fuel and loss of signal strength at lower engine speeds

    Main drops about 3 sizes

    Pilot may or may not change, reduced atmo pressure means less fuel flows through the pilot so it corrects itself to a certain extent, it may drop a size or it may even run lean and need to be up sized

    Needle will probably drop one clip

    But you need to be careful at low alt's after you make adjustments, particularly at partial throttle you can squeak it on the needle

    Opening the air box up helps a lot at altitude but you can't really do that on a Rev

  11. Techno Fan Wiring Help Needed

    in Beta

    Posted

    Hey, mine is a 96

    Two wires to the thermal switch on the head, both wires are green

    I would assume this switches 12v and not ground

    The fan has black and black with blue tracer

    Would assume that black with blue is 12v and black is to ground

    Metal transfer is very obvious and I cannot see any on your skirt

    I think your top end is fine

    Engine failure does not explain your no start problem, maybe that keyway that Copemech mentioned

    You may be able to see the keyway on both the crank and flywheel after you remove the nut

  14. Why Is She So Thirsty?

    in Beta

    Posted

    Well, til we get fuel injection there is only one way to control fuel level in the float bowl

    If the float is in a position where it can't close the needle then overflow controls the fuel height

    I think it's possible to stop overflow but then the fuel level would become high and over fuel the motor

    The angle the carb is at makes it over fuel on a decent

    I had an 07, the 08 had a KeiHin carb so I don't know if they were better or worse

    Maybe you are overflowing on downhills, the fact that you run rich on on downhills suggests that

    Next time stop on a slope and see if you are losing fuel from the overflow tubes

  17. Hi All A Couple Of Questions

    in Beta

    Oooof, thought it sounded weird

    I doubt they just tried to rob you, my guess is they just don't know how to diagnose

    Definitely complain bitterly and try to reverse the bill as much as possible

    Don't just let them go, it will teach them a lot when they put your old stator and rectifier back on the bike and write you a check

    Now about the hanging up issue you have, is it possible the flywheel key was sheared or something in the process?

    I smell something fishy

    No fan, Got it

    Replace stator and rectifier?, very very unlikely that both failed at the same time, I don't get it

    Did your headlight work?

    As a general rule, a tech who replaces everything without a very clear explanation is questionable

    Example: "the stator made no power so i replaced it and guess what, turns out the rectifier was frapped too"

    is it possible he is incapable of diagnosing and just throws parts on.?

    Still no fan, = neither the stator nor the rectifier were the cause, maybe you have a wiring problem and you got to buy the entire electrical system instead, ouch

    Certainly you deserve a very clear explanation, the tech should have a "Wow your bike was a nightmare" kind of story

    Did he give you your old parts back? He should have, test them and see what's up

    Good luck, ask questions

  22. Throttle Control - Is It Just More Practice ?

    in Trials Training And Technique

    Posted

    Another thing that helps me is to have someone video you riding different obstacles

    I find that what I think I'm doing and what I am actually doing are somewhat different and I can compare my body position to others

    And ask better riders to coach you, the beauty of trials is people gather at a section and watch each other, make use of it

    But most of all, practice about 20 minutes at a time and practice one or two things, no one can learn it all

  25. Beginner Techniques - Where To Start

    in Trials Training And Technique

    Posted

    It's the learning that really attracted me to trials.

    Knees hugging the bike and steering to ballance are definitely habits I need to shake off, I caught myself kneeling on the tank at one point.

    I'm struggling to cover the back brake when I think it might be needed, I think that in part was keeping my feet tight to the motor.

    Cheers

    Yup I'm right there with you, riding the rear brake is a street bike habit as it settles the bike down, I'm constantly working on getting away from the rear brake, my coach gives me a hard time all too often

    A guy at a trial told me to say "ballerina ballerina ballerina" in a section to remind me to keep my feet and knees wide LOL
