Is this a 2T or 4T? If it is a 2T then one can easily reach it with a long flexible screw driver. No need to remove exhaust to adjust. Try this tip. Take the exhaust off, remove the air screw, grind and mark with white nail polish only one side of the air screw slot. Put the air screw back in two turns out. Re-install the exhaust. Any time your are now adjusting the air screw the white ground down side will be visible helping you know how far you are turning it at any time.

See the post "Is just me or what" in general.

Surely they will not place this outdoor No Stop madness ruling on indoor stadium trials? If they did then I cant imagine an indoor trial with no stopping allowed. The indoor sections would be dramatically different than today. If they apply the no stop ruling to indoor trials then I can see a dramatic shift back ot the way things used to be when stadium trials became popular. There was riders who proved to be good stadium trick riders and those who rode better outdoors in natural terrain. How can a rider hone his razor sharp indoor trick skills for hop and bop indoor and then change mind set for no hop and bop outdoor trial? An indoor trial on a Wednesday night and then an outdoor on a Sunday, two different worlds, what a mind mess that would be. So, some spectators at a stadium trials (or see it on You Tube, TV etc) get hooked on the sport and want to try it out. They get all pumped up, buy a bike go to OUTDOOR trial and get told, Oh No, you cant stop, you cant hop, you cant, this you cant that. Who among us thinks an indoor stadium trial would be better or worse with No Stop rulings? It begs the question: is the current sets of riding tricks/techniques a witness to the skills needed to ride a world class stadium indoor trials. They where developed for indoor trials, honed there and then used in the outdoor arena??? If so, would we have saw the rapid development of these current indoor/outdoor riding techniques develop if not for indoor trials and the types of sections witnessed by the current indoor stadium trials? In reality what to me is the bottom line with this new no hop ruling is that they are stopping the riders from using indoor stadium trials techniques outdoors. I would like to place a bet on that riders and sponsors get their biggest financial returns from indoor events (per each event ticket sold vs one outdoor event) hence why they would not mess with a rule change that would mess with that revenue stream! I would guess to say a factory rider has to learn both skill sets in order to be competitive and subsequently make money in doing so. He is limited in what skill set he uses and when he can use it.

Zippy Since math does not seem to be your stong point instead of driving your front wheel into the obstacle 75% up on its face just drive into it 3/4 of the way up...... LOL There, does that help you? This way you do not have to convert 75% to fractions in your head as you ride. Or if you really want to simplfy the math aim 1/4 (or 25%) down from the top of the obstacle. Where you home schooled by any chance? LOL

Scooter Oil ? I concur with 0007.

Zippy For you it is 74.8%

Clarky Its not about winning! There is no competition! You got what you wanted from this forum and that is the point. What I was concerned about was guys buying big bore 300cc not using correct starting techniques (not saying you used poor form to start it), the bike kicks back and they say the bike is broke, needs fixing, we run around changing CDI boxes etc when in fact the potential to kick is part of the course for a big bore bike. If we just wanted to smooth the big bore bike out by modifying the timing and at the same time lower the potential of a kick back then we would have taken a quicker succinct path to help you with the kick back issue. No harm, no foul. Now go kick some butt on that smoothed out 300cc PS: To smooth it out even more buy a S3 flywheel weight. I run one my 300cc and I can not imagine a 300 cc Beta without one as it really makes a difference!

Clarky If your bike is the way you like it then good for you, problem over with, post over with. In reality there was nothing to fix just to modify the FIX part was your words. Any way, glad you got it sorted out. Where are you fae?

Clarky The bike is now changed from the original specs that Beta put out. So you are saying that a standard 300cc bike with standard timing from the factory kicks back and everybody should now change their timing????? Not convinced that changing the timing solved the original problem only camouflaged it! But hey if that works for you then go for it! Cheers

As Mr Wobble said Drive the front wheel into the drum. Rule of thumb drive the front wheel 75% up the face of the obstacle. This will load the front end and force the skid plate and bike upwards. Placing or just skimming the front wheel on the top of the barrel will do nothing for you but driving the skid pan into the obstacle. In the picture you seem to be keeping pressure on the back wheel and the back wheel is flat on the ground. That says your are not unloading the rear suspension or bending your legs/knees.

Headline says it all. I would like to know what he is on about. Can anybody translate? www.youtube.com/watch?v=lM-eoFs0qw0

Mr Fracy Since it is a Fantic Section you can actually use Poutine in the tranny. Apparently the clutch works great on this stuff. Any New York fries store should be able hook you up with a bucket of the stuff. Let us know how it works out

The dog in the scenario is the FIM. Seems stopping is scaring them LOL

And practicing one of the American constitutional amendments of free speech.

Funtrials Great read, bang on, well stated. Lets collect money, buy him a plane ticket and send him to the FIM offices to speak for us on this matter. Nothing like being under the influence to bring out the best in us. So what you on? What beverage are you participating in? Bravo...........

WOW Talk about over kill............

Anybody see the bad starting technique. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-HLKgDgMuc

b40rt A dinna ken wit a B40 bike is.

"I myself keep thinking I will find an oil that lets my bike shift For the love of god why can't a 2010 model motorcycle find neutral just once with the engine running!!" Jeff, A wee tip, on trials bike you find neutral with your heel. You change gears with your foot and shift into neutral with your heel. Strange I know but that is a technique that I find works for me and some other people. BillyT

I use this oil, always have in either 2T or 4T Trials bikes. It one of the best out there. With that been said it still must be compromising to be able to perform all three functions, i.e. Clutch, Gearbox, Engine. Click on picture to read the writing at the bottom of the bottle.

Hey Mark No not me! My legs are not short, they go all the way to the ground and touch my feet.

Hey TLTEL Or he is out spending lots of money on new CDI boxes, Flywheel pullers, Drill bits, etc when all he really needs is a big heavy left boot weighed down with lead shot and more left leg muscles LOL Wullie Baxter needs tae ge him a bowl o Scots Porridge oats. Two rolls n square Lorne sausages an a bottel o Irn-Bru

I think this was a clean? The bike certanly was clean after this LOL

Yep........ I helped Noah with some carb issues he was having with his ark!

"If I said pistons spin round and round one would expect another to explain that they go up and down" What if they did both? I think you will find there are lots of well qualified technical people on this site who teach, engineer, or design things. Many are in the industry or in automotive and have a solid grasp of technical concepts/issues. All sorts of knowledge has been shared by these guys through the years, helping each other when we can. I look forward to you being part of that group. I am just an old fart on this site that has hung around since Andy was a wee a bairn in his nappy
