    Having one of them was like having a fat eager girlfriend,great fun, me and my mates regularly attempted 3's up down the back of the school fields and when it got too hot and seized up we had to p**** on her to keep it cool..... :(

    This is what really happened !!!!!!!!

    Wasn't the last bike to have such an airbox set up a Cannondale motorcrosser?

    And didn't it require fuel injection to overcome the running problems that Baldilocks described?

    From what I recall that project never got off the ground because of the cost of developing that efi ?

    Honda C90 had tank under seat and air filter up by head stock. The most common bike on the planet - eh

    I use duck oil, spray and gently brush with an old tooth brush. Blow the crap away with compressor and repeat till clean and moving freely.

    (use WD40 if thats what Lampkins recommend)

  10. Carbon Build Up On Piston. . .

    in Beta

    I honestly don't have a lot of experience with trials bikes and was hoping that someone would respond to your listing - but I have 35 years of experience with chainsaws and motocross bikes and I really don't think the carbon deposit looks unusual and is pretty typical - I suspect the droplets are just coolant leaked out when the head was taken off. I really don't see that you need to keep taking your head off to decarbon the piston and cylinder head......you are going to wear yourself out taking the engine apart to keep the carbon off as it happens quickly in a two cycle engine. There should not be an interference between the piston and head with the small amount of carbon build up on the piston.

    Are you using a good full synthetic oil mixed at the recommended ratio? I don't know about your Beta - my Sherco is mixed at 80:1. Find someone that is familiar with your bike and see if your bike knocks louder than theirs......maybe it is time for you to get a piston or rings if the knocking is caused by excessive clearance between the piston and cylinder.

    Took the head off a Rotax engine which had been run 32:1 for decades, virtually no carbon build up !

  11. Bultaco Colour Scheme?

    The nearest colour you can use to original is "Ford electric blue"

    There was never an official colour known but this is the colour

    that comerfords used at the time.

    Used this at the time and to me was exactly the same.

  19. The Best Twinshock Ever?

    My totally biased opinion obviously - SWM 320

    PROS- grips better than anything i have ridden (i have ridden many bikes)

    very well built, very reliable , tons of torquey usable power -but not too powerful

    parts still readily available

    CONS- a bit heavy than some , but this helps with the grip

    this is obviously going to get some replies!! but its my opinion! everybody has their

    favorite/opinion. ;)

    Got to agree with you, dont remember it being to heavy, 280 was the best engine. Had to run it a bit rich to get it to grip.
