Yes doogle but don't forget the broken rear brake caliper bracket i welded and straightened out the rear disc that was buckled and bled the brakes stripped out the rear caliper. Now that was what i call mates rates!

That will be something to look forward to ,i would not be surprised to see if it had a suzuki derived motor as they have ties with not only KTM but suzuki for a number of years.

I like the look of those breaks up as said all that red and compliments all those otherwise plain white graphics i was not that keen on the original ones.

Having spent some time on the 07 bike i can say that the extra steering lock you have got is actually a disadvantage as a few of us riding the bike comented it locks round so far it locks in on itself and will tip it in! There is only so much effective steering lock you can use before it has a negative effect .

Not sure what year cr plates come from but if you call HAVEN'S they will tell you there number is 01469 532600 uk land line number .

Yes a good upgrade to do on the monts is to fit honda cr 250 clutch plates friction one's that is, this stops the clutch dragging and it then will go into neutral nicely. also check's to do are inspect the dog bone shaped rear suspension linkage as these have a tendancy to oval the holes this in turn stops the seals from doing there job, and hey presto your suspension seizes up!By the way HAVEN TRIALSPORT sell the clutch parts. also the air holes in the rear mudguard helps from the holes having mesh fitting to them from the inside,this will stop all the mud from packing down the air holes and blocking them.

What it is, is the throttle body has two sets of program's in it and by the flick of a switch on the bars you can go from one to the other this in turn changes the fueling etc and changes the type of power the engine put's out ie softer for the mud and grip and then more responsive and sharper for in the dry.

This sort of carry on by importers is totally iresponsible to all of a suddenly flood the market with cheap bikes in the term of things is not doing any of us favours,albeit people selling second hand bikes or dealers with them sitting in their showroom. This happens also with the gas gas's.Car importers do just the opposite to keep up the second hand prises and new.

Yes this does happen on the 4rt's i have repaired them beforee. What you have done is broken the end off the selector shaft, it is not as bad as it sounds ! Parts are about thirty five pounds if i remember and about an hour and a half's job.

Hope only do the billet top yoke in black! i have a second hand unmarked one looking for a new home.

Yes the trialscast levers that i bought for my 06 beta were as said could be happier with the fit where the bushes go, to big holes in them causing sloppy fit, and of rough bare cast finish,but suppose cost reflects on this somewhat. They work fine as advertised and do bend as opposed to just snapping off! Not a slag off just my thoughts.

I work as an maintenance engineer in an aerospace company .

Yes they do but you except that's the way the rest of the bike is put together not so of the beta ! I have seen gas gas's where the frame has actually been dented where they have slammed round on full lock.

I think how they have obtained the extra steering lock is crock! Just removed the lock stop bolts so the bottom yoke hits the frame it has still got the tapped holes in the frame so they are obviously still using the same previously made castings . I could have done that in five seconds.

Yes i spent an afternoon on one and was looking forward to it being quite a bit different but still with all the beta feel about it but it was all a bit of an anti climax. I shall still be getting one though all being well.

Having ridden an 06 and a 07 bike to ride back to back there is no noticable difference in the feel of them they are the same width across the frame and even sitting on them there does not feel any different i'm surprised i thought they would have felt a lot smaller. What are anyone else's veiws on this having ridden them?

Yes the wheel bearings are all the same even on the 07 bikes they all have the same make of hubs fitted !

Yes i bought some levers off them for my 06 beta they were of quite poor finish and no bushes supplied with them. fitted some new bushes in them which were loose , holes were to big in the levers and caused them to be very sloppy and rattle about.

Are these ajusters not supposed to screw into the lever housing as opposed to into the actual lever themselves being only made from alloy they must be likely to break !

Like the clutch cover looks different !

Just wondering what the new 270's are like power wise some years they seem to be softer than others one year seeming very fiery and another more tourque'y what are the 06&07 like?

Saw poor old doogle today out on his new bike at the trial and you have guesed it problem number five bike starts to overheat and the thermostat switch has now gone on it had to bypass the switch to finish the trial. Not bad for a four hour old bike poor sod!

Yeh the hillsborugh trial is excellent was very wet last year but great fun i loved it, riding again on sunday!

Sounds silly but check the simple things first . change the plug and disconnect the kill switch these can give these symptoms believe it or not. i doubt it will be the stator these tend to either work or not. Then the coil sounds electrical though!

Yes the stator went on my 03 rev 3 i sent it off direct to west country windings three day's turn around job done! about 80 pounds . i think nearly all the dealers send them off to west country's.
