dad-

what was the outcome ?? did the needle and slide cure the problem ? had a similar fault with my 315 but it had delorto carb fitted and was worse in the cold weather never had a problem when hot

the surgeon didnt speak as he was a little upset ! throwing your bike away startled him somewhat making him spill his bottle of saunternes and drop his salmon and cucumber sandwiches. myself and all the kids thought it was great tho fererro rochers rolling about all over it was like an easter egg hunt. NICE !!!

had the same problem with ralphs 4rt. its air trapped in the top of the master cylinder. try pushing master cylinder piston up and down a few times using a screwdriver and hold the pressure then undo banjo bolt that holds rear brake hose to master cylinder. repeat this a few times then bleed through to rear caliper as normal. hope this helps

sorry didnt check needle position just cleaned jets etc out while ralph was at the burger wagon. try 4 turns out think you will find it ok the plug colour was good to. used same carb on 315 mont also set 4 turns out

yea i did notice that the bike really struggled to pull his athletic frame around so first plan was to get as much fuel into the engine as possible but we are now working on the 2nd plan due to the success of his ginster sponsorship we now have a 490 maico engine fitted. now if i can just get him away from the dinner table we can test and report !!!!!!!

hi cleaned ralphs carb for him again a couple of weeks ago and the fuel screw is set at 4 turns out hope this helps. found that any less than 4 to 4 an a half turns out makes it detonate when hot and runs to weak

i am about to purchase a T5 and keen on the 130 model has anyone tried the 104 bhp 1900cc model if they have what is the performance like and mpg is it much better on fuel than the 5 cylinder version ? have owned a T4 van r reg 2400cc model for 5 years good solid van and no problems with it just a bit thirsty 28 - 30 mpg. thanks for any info on T5

the addict is now montesa mounted. doug was pushed aside when the addict took the 4rt ride that is the real reason for his return to beta !! and just to let all you sherco fans know he has taken to it really well. the only problems so far are due to the lack of maintenance req he is bored and has to spend countless hours with her indoors ! and the worrying thing for us his riding friends is the perminent stupid smile on his face !!!!!! NICE

good result for rob the part time trials rider on a bike that will not grip !!!!!

the addict has seen the light !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice pics !!! me and ralph look undernourished ! we are like fat twins. the addict wasnt in new skin tight jeans he was naked not sure why its something to do with saving the planet he just brought the kids some felt tip pens and told them to colour in his legs and bits. hope you enjoyed it spud ? we stayed for another couple of hours the addict was the last one there and when i left he was busy hugging a tree. NICE !!

he will get a new suit with simon cowell trousers when he starts his new minding duties !!!!!

its not the pad type you are useing its probably more to do with the 8 hour practice every thursday + numerous eves on the sleepers + all those sneaky practice sestions in the week with caber and the goat + the trial and a practice every sunday !!!!!!!!!!!

wtc rider and repsol team member billy bou will be entering at ESTC trial this sunday but new beta signing for 08 billy bunter is a no show ! he is staying at home sleeping and eating cakes. apparently he is well impressed with the bike but wants more practice before entering a trial as he is still having some problems riding and eating at the same time !!! with billy bou there its bad news for the local top riders leg end and the pro who were looking for an easy win!!! sorry lads prepare yourselfs for a thrashing !!!!!
