if you plan on keeping the van for a while i would invest in a pair of bf goodrich all terrain tyres for the driving wheels .you will not believe how good they are ,like having 4x4 traction honestly . quite pricey but i got 100,000 miles out of my last set
try running on shell v power petrol and putoline 2 stroke .i had exactly the same problem on a cr250 and stopped using silkolene 2 stroke and normal unleaded and the problem dissapeared overnight
cant comment on the marzocchis but ive got to agree with you on the piaollis forks fitted to betas.they are useless .i cant notice a bit of difference between no rebound and full rebound.even a 10 year old dated set of showas are head and shoulders better than brand new piaollis
the 2 faces of the taper will not be identical to each other .it doesnt take much .before fitting the woodruff key put a little valve grinding paste on the shaft,fit the flywheel and turn it back and forward until you get a nice light grey colour cn both faces then reassemble and it will be fine.it is not the woodruff key that keeps the flywheel from turning on the shaft it is the shaft itself the key is just a locator
your beta has succumb to the pourous water pump casing syndrome.take the water pump cover off and you will more than likely find it will be all corroded .about
try a spot of petrol down the bore if it fires up you will know its fuel related .if it fires up let it run for a while then give it a good roasting along the road it gives it a clean out and gets it up to temp
hi ive got the chance of a 300 fantic but its got a front disc conversion .i was wondering if i would still be able to compete in scottish twinshoch classes with it or not
whats made you decide to change it after 15 years especially if its still changing fine? i knew i had been doing something wrong over the years what a waste of gear oil . ha ha
