    My mates 07 bike was pouring fuel out at an alarming rate the first time he took it out,so off came the carb to have a look and found the cause of the problen on this occasion to be the float bowl gasket! It was sticking out into the bowl that much one of the floats was fouling on it causing the thing to stay stuck down.The gasket was correctly fitted but was to wide so cut it down job done.

    mad4it replied to neonsurge's topic in Beta

    My 03 one used to come out ok but on my 06 bike it will no where near cone out!Mind you it's so easy to remove the swing arm on the beta's it is not to much hassle.

    Yeh last year my mate got his beta out of the van ready for the start of the lakes fired it up and let it warm while putting his lid on,put it into gear the clutch was stuck and proceded to wheelie off straight into the brand new van he had borrowed scratching all the paintwork on it and ending up in a heap on the floor right in front of a load of people me and my mate p*****d ourselves!

    Spud i have to agree with you on the grip you get with the 4rt's down here in the south they are not at there best in the sticky mud once you break drive on one forget it I know three people who have had them and gone back to two strokes one of the reasons being this. Mind you on the rocks is where they come into there own!

    Kll Switch 07 270

    mad4it replied to ohno's topic in Beta

    I wish the bloody rear sprocket bolts would come undone so easy! but keep an eye on the top shock mount bolt and the frame strut bolts too these are my worst ones If you pour boiling water on the sprocket bolt nuts this softens up the threadlock and they will come out more easily!

    It's Coming.........

    mad4it replied to uhoh7's topic in Gas Gas

    Don't forget the rim's that don't seal and you have to sort that out yourself oh yeh that applies to all the bikes but the mont's good really a rim manufacturer that can't make them do the one thing their supposed to do hold air!

    It's Coming.........

    mad4it replied to uhoh7's topic in Gas Gas

    Hope it does not have casting holes in the crank cases like my mates pro, two to be precise when he spoke to gas gas they said only two holes you must have a good one! Not so bad oil leaking out of a two stroke but on a four stroke disaster Can't wait to see the problems they will have with these if it is anything kike the pro was when released.

    07 Beta 250 Vs 270

    mad4it replied to ka2's topic in Beta

    The 290 sherco is not a true to it's name bike it is actually 270cc they just call it such !

    Yes saw these jackets on the <mention of this company is not permitted on Trials Central> stand at the dirt bike show was sure they were ninety quid on there looked a nice peice of kit the red looked good but not sure for how long! Had a sort of microfleece lining to it but don't know if it is removable.

    Yeh had a set of the billet one's that come as standard on the scorpa and mine snapped completly off at the mount they don't bend just break. And the teeth wear out quickly they are pretty crap really they look the part and that's as far as it goes.

    Beta 4-stroke

    mad4it replied to kinell's topic in Beta

    Twelve hundred and fifty pounds for just the engine on top of the two stroke inc engine that is a lot of money all i can say is it will have to be exceptionaly good !

    Beta 4-stroke

    mad4it replied to kinell's topic in Beta

    I bet if you look at the sales figures for the two stroke mont compared to the four stroke i bet they are not even half, they should have run with both models. At least beta have not put all there eggs in one basket,the two strokes are where there bread and butter sales will be coming from for some time yet i suspect.Cirtainly at the money there asking, beta's are usually sensibly priced!

    Beta 4-stroke

    mad4it replied to kinell's topic in Beta

    Yes was hoping for a price in the four to four and a quater bracket the that's still a fair chunk more than the two stroke at that. People will still buy them though but i can't imagine by the shed load ,if they have got it right sales are going to be similar to the mont i suspect.

    Beta 4-stroke

    mad4it replied to kinell's topic in Beta

    Yes it looks the part , i prefer the colour than the two strokes i just hope for beta's sake they have done there homework and got the engine right first time ! Engine wise it looks to me as if they have had some strong input from outside sources,being as the drive & kickstart clutch is all so different to the way they have traditionally gone about it .Four years in the making it should be spot on & if it is i reakon it will be a superb bike.

    Dunlop Stickers?

    mad4it replied to neonsurge's topic in Beta

    I'm not exactly sure but i think why it comes about is that the uk sponsered riders get dunlops as part of the deal !
  23. mad4it
    Yes as said check the 'o' ring between the two caliper halves it has more than likely been pinched if it has been appart if not it maybe the piston seals you will have to have a closer look you will soon see!
  24. mad4it
    A trials bike fits in these van,s no problem as cubby say's corner to corner i had one and my mate's just sold his no need to remove the bulkhead .Carted our bikes all over the country for years with them.
