Thanks

Hi All. Was wanting to know if there is any live streaming of the sheffield indoor? for us that live on the other side of the world lol If not would be good to see this one day in the near future. Thanks for any help. Clarky.

Hi I just don't know why it has only been the last 6months it has started to kick back, never did it from new in 2011 , plate looked good and hadn't changed at all, I went 1.5mm and has been sweet since, I rode a event on the weekend and I didn't notice any power difference on the bigger steps with the 1.5mm change, maybe a bit smoother of the bottom but bugger all, So sorry ??????? can't give you any more than that as I just don't know, all I know is it has stopped kicking back since I went 1.5mm and im happy for that. Cheers

Ok then You Win! But I also think I win because my beta is now modify !!!, not fixed so it don't kick back any more. Cheers

I never said that, YOU just did! Im only talking about my Beta, All Im saying it has fixed my bike and that is why I came on the forum to see if I could fix it, Which I have Didn't come on here for a bitch fight! Happy its fixed, Full Stop

Thanks for all you help and YES! they do get a bit carried away,

Sorry you wrong lad! but Thanks for your info

Thanks, but I would NOT use this way of starting a bike, as with having your weight above the bike and if a motor is to kick back then you are more likely to break teeth, I have seen this happen before. Use your leg only and then if motor kicks back your leg will come back up, but yes keep your bars turned to the right so your knee don't hit bar, cheers

Na m8, listen to those other guys and have been of riding the last 3 days, timing was the key.

Hi All, 1st, Thanks for all of your help even if some of it has got a bit of track, My Beta is all fixed now and sorry it is NOT technique that did it, Have been kicking bikes over for 20 years and Im sure I wasn't doing it wrong all that time, Thanks to all who said it needs to be retarded a little, You Were Correct! This is what I did, Retard timing 1.5mm on the plate. I did this on Friday night and have rode a 3 day event here on the weekend and Yes the bike has not kicked back one single time. So Thanks again you guys have saved me $$$ and time in getting it fixed. Well Happy Cheers Karl

Thanks guys, I will go 1/2mm from standard and let you know after weekend how I get on. Thanks again

Yip Thanks, Not changing CDI now and I am going to retard it a little, But the thing is to how much should I retard it??????

I am Kicking the **** out of it and it still kick back, so it not that, going to see a m8 on the weekend with the same bike so will try his, Thanks for your help tho.

Found this photo and it shows that it can be adjusted is that right???? is this what you mean nzralphy & charlie chitlins I'm no mechanic but took to a good mechanic the other day and after looking he said he would have to drill out the holes to adjust the timing???? He seems to think it is the CDI that is to fault. I don't know what to think now??? lol

Yes it do sound like a gun going off, also been told I cant adjust timing, I am going to try a new CDI, or is this a waist of time??

Ive been told you cant adjust plate clamp?? Plug is New

My Bro did the same thing on his Montesa, Och

No have throttle closed when kicking over, Thanks

Hi there, Help please why my 2012 300cc 2stroke Factory Beta would be kicking back when I am trying to start it??? I give it a good hard kick and it has been kicking my kick start back up and wont start, it don't do it every time but maybe one of every 3/4 kicks it seems to be doing it. it has not done it from new and only in the last 6 months it has started to do it, Fly wheel key is ok and not bent. Can CDI play up after a while?? Thanks for any help.
