in the short term, i dont think too much damage will be caused. Just not entirely sure of the effects if its not rectified. I am pretty much 'old school', when it comes to mechanical problems, and in my opinion these engines cannot be running right while they're pinking!
Besides, if you're like me, it'll annoy you like hell!
-
bob. had the same problem myself. if you do a search in the beta forum, enter 'pinking beta' as the key word you'll find lots of feedback. The 2 main things that cured mine was using shell optimax, and raising the needle on the carb slide. if you need anymore info, send me an email
-
thanks lads. just to let you know, got some of that carbon fibre sheet that craftypiggy recommended, 3 sheets for
-
cheers. If i cant find the 'tape', i'll get some of that. Looks ideal, at a cheap price too.
-
thanks hondaRS, i know the kind of stuff you mean, but i got the impression this stuff was on a roll, but not entirely sure.
-
does anyone know where i can obtain some 'carbon fibre tape'? i saw a photo of a beta on ebay that had some on the frame between the seat and footpegs, to protect it where the boots rub. looked really smart. tried halfords, no luck. Any ideas?
-
thanks dabmeister & stuEssenhigh. going to try the super unleaded, but it wont be until this weekend. (work keeps getting in the way of my socialising!)
-
-
thanks hondaRS, thats the way i'll do it.
P.S.Did you receive my sae ok for the beta handbook?
-
many thanks for all the info lads. it seems there are 3 things i should try having read all the threads relating to this topic;
need to try shell optimax fuel, possibly a champion n7ycc plug, and maybe increase the pilot jet. (once i get the carb off & see whats in there at the moment)
Once again thanks for the info, i'll let you know how i get on next week.
P.S. sorry about the name M4RT, I'll try and come up with something a bit more trendy!
-
thanks hondaRS, I'll try that on the next mixing.
-
not sure on the jets, are they marked up in some way? I'll get carb off tomorrow and get back to you. thanks.
-
has anybody got any info on how to stop 'pinking'. I have an 03 rev3 250, which runs fine most of the time but when its working a bit harder, or on uphill climbs, or held on a constant throttle on flat ground, it develops that annoying metallic knocking sound, that i think is pinking. Running the bike on PJ1 Silverfire semi-synthetic, at 70:1 as recommended.
Any advice would be appreciated.
-
i have sent an email, (i think ! ) but as i am new to all this computer stuff, i`m not sure if i`ve done it right
-
many thanks, i dont think it will matter too much if it is an 02, i guess most of the info will be pretty similar. (unless someone knows different!)
-
does anyone have an owners handbook for an 03 rev3 250 that they dont need, or any ideas where i might get one from?.
P.S. already tried john lampkin imports, with no success. thanks.

this may sound extreme, but my mate had the same problem with an 01 rev 3, which turned out to be the stator. new stator, no more problems.
