I had problems with mine and ended up in the worst case scenario position I pulled the seal out and ripped the bearing apart so you are just left with outer shell of the bearing then put a bead of weld around the bearing seat area, the heat alone made it pretty much fall out plus you now have the weld to bash it out with. Obviously you only need to do this on one side as once its out you can remove the spacer and get too the back of the opposing bearing. The front is a lot easier ( well mine was) due too a differnt spacer layout from memory. I`m sure r2w and a few others will come on here and tell you a real easy way of doing it boasting it should only take 5-10 minutes but hey we all gotta start somewere

Coolant after a period of time loses it`s anti corrosive properties allowing the water in your mixture too start the dreaded oxidising process, a few Beta`s have been known too have casings with a certain alloy type that corrode quite easily, your best bet is too check your casings. Hopefully you will have caught the problem in time? It is very important on an engine of this size with such small cooling jackets too keep on top of your fgluids and change them regularly, I`ve not had mine long but will change my coolant at least 6 monthly, any slight blockage in the system could cause massive headaches and big un-needed bills in the long run. This said one of the r2w riders had a slight rot problem round the impellar shaft area (I think it was) he bought a new case I think was about

Right I ordered an 07 front mudguard yesterday from Lampkins they had just that day got them in and it arrived this morning so top marks for that it was just under

Words like that is why I don`t like text talk! what the hell is that ment too say? plus unless you went too school over the last say 5 years or have a younger sibling then i`m sure it`s bloody hard work too decifer (well it is for me )

I`ve been told it`ll be end of this month start of next? not completely sure but i`m hoping for start of next

I can vouch for the front wheels from Haven, for my Beta it was ordered and dealt with super swiftly thanks again It arrived as an origanal part ( well looks identical) and from what they said they just import them direct and somehow manage too sell them cheaper ( a fair bit I may add) than everyone else? So I can only guess that there rears are the same?

I would also like too know about the middle box, but I guess the flywheel weight is the same as fitted too the uk model bikes as standard? selling them as a spare for the rest of the world maybe? I may be wrong (probably) But as for there use it just smooths out the bottom end power a little making for a little better traction in the mud etc. Sorry I couldn`t be of any better help but there will be loads on here that can and hopefully will

Again i`ve got the 250 and it`s been played with a little, reeds, throttle tube,no flywheel weight, r2w carby tuning ( in the valleys this was done!) This said though lovely as it is I do rely on the bikes power more than I feel I should and would probably go for a 200 next time round or maybe a 125 if it felt ok when tried out

put another post about oils somewere the other day but dexron 3 is a grade of automatic transmission fluid (ATF) made by many companys as suggested in my previous post

any part impeticular? you have a high compression head a lighter front pipe a thiner base gasket ( again for higher compression)

I don`t think it`ll come too it Ralph but was just a thought plus i`d like too see the build But if it were ever too happen i`d be in the outfit and riders would need too apply too me in writing! couldn`t just have anyone in control of my life now hey

I`m not quite sure how this topic has got here from new plastics but at the moment yes until I can get the insane deposit that has been requested! Back too the new plastics i`m going too be trying too find out a price on a 07 front mudguard today and check it`ll fit my 04 so i`ll post if it`s any differnt than previous ones?

She went out and bought a web cam today, have you got one Mr Baines. I Keep slipping out my leather chair???????? Nope and definatly not at the moment in between houses and all!

Cheers and good luck with the build Should look good with that refreshed bike of yours guess the outfit will be going black

`07 Beta comes with Beta build quality

R2w if you read this I hope your taking notes maybe my next direction if I can`t operate the clutch properly! Mick if you get any step by step pictures as you do it i`m interested too! now off too ebay too research prices

I know a lot of people use ATF me being one, I started off with castrol then went too valvoline now I`ve just bought a big old tub of cheapy Autolube stuff. I`m in the understanding and have had no issues doing this myself, as long as you buy the Dexron III (3) grade and change it frequently enough all should be well. Hope that makes sense

If she`s ready!

Don`t worry Ralph let her know i`ll be back soon

And fair play too you after all it`s your bike not his! Reading a lot of his posts he does just like winding people up I think

That front mudguards cheap I recently priced up a `05 one and it was about

either here or here are two very good options

I think you`d a lot better off spending the extra and getting either the radycool or jitsie items

Thanks, we finally got some good info here and the two posts following Alans` by the way it wasn`t me requesting the info I was just trying too pull it back in line

thats what I like too see good old fashion hi-jacking of the Sherco forum! Seriously though could someone post some real answers as i`m interested too hear the results p.s. i`m not changing my bike just interested
