Problem solved .I bit the bullet and put a tubeless tyre on yesterday. Had a couple of hours riding evrything fine. Thanks for all of your help cheers Leggins

hi no tyre clamp fitted will this cure the problem ?

Hi < can anyone answer this? I have a 2000 rev 3 which has a back tyre with tube .I have been told that I should be using a tubeless tyre . I have just gone through 2 inner tubes in a week. The wheel has spun ripping the valve cleen off both times. I think the rims are original. Before I go and buy a new tyre or tube I could use some advice thanks Leggins

Hi Billy Well mate thats put an end to my Winnipeg search so I guess I will have to spend my time watching the wild life at Grand beach, hmmmm if you know what I mean. Tell your wife that i used to live in st.Boniface just off rue Archibald she if knows the area. As far as the battery pack is concerned I have to get my teenage son to sort it out for me as he is a demon with electronics. The only problem is actually getting him to do it as he,s got lots of distractions i.e girlfriends, beer, and his Suzuki bandit street fighter......what a life eh ? Will talk to you later mate its time to do dishes cheers leggins

HI steve Wow that post went off a tangent. Yes steve you are right I did live in Winnipeg throught the 90,s. I moved out there after deciding that I needed a change from the usual routine. After 9 winters there should I say long winters there it was time to return to the homeland. My time in the peg was a great time in my life ,I met some fantastic people a plan to head back out there next year . That is unless I spend the cash on a new Beta..... I will take the oppertunity when there to serch out the Take 5 trials club and hopefully post some photos on this site. cheers leggins p.s. Will sort out that battery pack for the fan .

Wow Billy that was some reply thanks. Your reply really made sense, The idea of installing a battery pack on board sounds great. The only problem with this is that when you live in England it would be rarely used as usually our climate is pants, Thats the reason we all look pastey and pale ha ha. Joking aside I think You have hit the nail on the head, nice one leggins

After about 3 hours of riding in the hot weather yesterday I stalled my bike. I couldnt get it going again as it had flooded. I had just been up some quite steep climbs. Also I noticed the rad fan had kicked in. has anyone had this problem or has anyone got any ideas ? cheers leggins p.s I got the bike going after removing the plug and giving it some wellie.....

Has anyone out there got any tips for cleaning up damaged paint work on my rev3 ? My son dropped my bike on a pile of Castleton rocks today causing some nasty scrapes . The rear mudgard was badly twisted but didnt crack . I have tried to ignore the damage but it draws my eye so please help if you can. cheers Leggins

The jury has returned with the verdict .Its a huge padlock for Leggins . Thanks for the feed back.

I have seen an advert in t+mx news offering this service for

thanks guys I will try to make contact with the Take 5 club members. cheers leggins

Onto the rack and out in the sun for some fun...life is good(untill the next hurdle anyway ! ) clutch in need of adjustment. looks easy enough ,any information anyone.... cheers leggins

Thanks will check the plug cap in the morning. kids eh !

First of all thanks for the advice.After my post I removed the carb and plug to give them a good clean. It was while I was putting it back together tha t i noticed there was no spark. There seems to be an electrical problem. Any ideas ? This bike is new to me and we dont seem to have got off to a good start. I have heard that betas are prone to faulty electrics is this true ? cheers leggins

my son was playing around with my rev 3 the other day and managed to gas it up.I have tried without any luck to get it started. Has anyone got any suggestions.... and not the dont let the kids near your bike type. thanks leggins

just got my rev 3 . This is my first bike for quite some time, so I will be using this forum to ask some really basic questions. Here goes , Which position dose the choke have to be in for the choke to be on ? thanks (a very green ) leggins

thanks Andy I was planning to go to the next Barnsley trial ( sat 1st July ) . I have been to several Barnsley trials over the last few months and liked what Ive seen. They seem like a friendly bunch only too willing to help. I will find out more about that venue, thanks. I will be taking my bike next week so if you spot me (250 beta lots of wobble, might even be laid under it )give me a shout .My names Andy too. ta pal

I ve just got back into trials and live in the Sheffield / Barnsley area. Has anyone got any information about legal practice venues in this area. I am desperate to get some hours in before I make myself look a right prat.... cheers LEGGINS

first of all many thanks for all your help and valid advice. Today I visited a very happy mechanic. After lots of head scratching this chap gave in and called beta for advice. After a long explanation He was told that the problem was the master cyclinder had major wear . I know it seems hard to believe that the rubber seals would outlast a aluminium cyclinder but this is a common fault. A new master cyclinder is on its way from the dealer, Problem solved.........I will let you know. many thanks Leggins

Im just buying a 250 rev 3 from a dealer.While taking a test drive I noticed the rear brake was non existant. I pointed this out to the mechanic who said he would see to it. He said he had done all the usual things i.e bleed ,clean calipers etc . At this time he thought he had it sorted ( 80% ) Another road test and they went again compeletly. There is no sign of leakage. Can anyone help this poor frustrated man cheers leggins
