  1. No worries, we have four riders that have had by passes and one more with a pacemaker. The one that had it done in `97 was one of our top riders for years afterwards. After the surgery he took up extreme sports like Heli skiing and kite boarding. It`s all about attitude. Just have fun.
  2. Is that when you are actually moving.
  3. White, red, green then kill switch. I think it is color coded if you remove the coil to see the other side.
  4. And I laugh each time a guy falls and tears those pants and ass. I still wear mx pants, but remove excess padding and the silly rubber labels that do not breath. By the way I started riding trials long before the silly gear came along.
  5. They were attached to the cylinder head stay that mounts to the frame above the carb. It had a little slide on type bracket. The zip tie should work.

    The Beta owners manual has the starting points for your weight. The front forks spring preload (left) should be ten turns in. They leave the rear to your choice. The earlier Revs had the rear spring compression. Seems it was 105mm, but that was long time ago for my brain. Good luck.
  7. The only thing that used to be consistent in trials was a max score of five points in a section. Now in the World round you can fail a section multiple times. You can fail while in the queue, for walking in the section, for the minder or other in the section and then you still have the score of the section. How many people on here responding even understand World Round rules?
  8. I cut a tube and a couple of o rings.
  9. The only rider I ever heard from Indiana was Stephen Oehrle. A 250 is all you need at that altitude.
  10. That was a great year for the Beta as a lot of upgrades were done. Nothing wrong with the Sherco. You really need to go by condition and find out who and at what level they rode. A used bike with the lowest amount of use would be the first choice.
  11. Beta has always been a bad buy on there first year models. 1990 Zero, 1994 Techno, 2000 Rev3, 2009 Evo. All were not the bike to have. I have always liked Beta, but those were the dogs.
  12. The `07 and `08 were a lot lighter and more powerful than your `02. The revs have more room as the Evo feels cramped. I would advise against the `09. Why buy the year with teething issues?
  13. You would need an old Beta techno or Montesa wheel. Put that on the section and the rim from the section on the 240 to make it tubeless.
  14. As in the OP got a new clutch that was too thick. You could just burn the clutch in a high gear, might take a couple tries to get the clutch broken in instantly.
  15. What type of chain was used? New rear Tire? (Brand)
  16. This is how without any parts. This was the first vid on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjoj7n74G0s Here is another. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0adW9BsAN4
  17. Actually I started celebrating on the 19th. With my 7 grandkids and friends running around the house for the two weeks of winter break requires an attitude adjustment daily.
  18. You have to unload for every obstacle. Trials is all about body position. There is a couple crash vids just recently loaded on the front page. Almost all the crashes are from poor body position. Are you going to be able to make some events soon? Pitts trials club has a Ray Peters trials school on the calendar for July. He is a great teacher. Lucky for us he rides with our club now.
  19. War on Christmas is quite entertaining as most Christians just show up on Sunday and really have no clue. Christmas as we know it was created by the Romans as no one knew the true birthday of Jesus Christ. Just so happens to be the same day as Sol Invictus. The Pagan holiday celebrated for centuries before Jesus was born. The real date of birth was likely in September , but some Christian scholars believe it was March. Either way, no one really knows for sure. December 25th was just a convenient time for a holiday. So whatever your believes make the most of the holidays with family and friends. Ride if you can or polish up your bike and enjoy a drink. Happy Winter Solstice!
  20. I started riding Beta`s in `89. I had Zero`s, Techno`s and rev3`s. I have ridden the Evo`s, but not owned one. What the hell has happened. I never remember gear problems?
  21. Oh no, the clutch pak and the finger height is the key. You can also cheat this on a new bike by using forth gear against a wall. I usually tell the owner to look away.

    Kickstart Question

    I cannot tell you why I have saved it for ten years. But I could not believe how many people replied to the OP with the wrong part. My bolt is just fine. That came from the first ride out of the box!
