amiller Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Dont stick any hot screwdrivers anywhere. The Beta is vented from the factory. When you remove the factory harness there is only one way to hook things up without making modifications. All together we have had 8 270 revs in the family. We have replaced one stator. I know what bike I will get next. Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkp Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 .. its brilliant. totaly different to the sherco... Can you shed some light on this?.. different, how? Does it turn better / worse? Make more / less - smoother / snappier power? etc. OBTW, change your personal settings to show your location... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a well-sorted machine. As for disconnecting lights, etc. I think Beta is the only manufacturer that acknowledges how many of us do that, and they make it a no-tools operation. Unplug this and plug that in...no cutting, no solder... Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pa. Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Has anyone seen or got any info on the 2005 Betas yet??? I've only got snippets so far, apparently more info available in August!!!Ahh the old Beta Stator debate - I have heard that the Sherco's also have the same problem. No much fuss made about their's failing - interesting!!!! Kal Red and Silver. Revised engine mapping, as per every other year. Weight redistribution. NO 4 STROKE! Anymore information and I would have to kill you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rev`er Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 ok sorry Andy, forgot about that!! ill start again then, Hey Pete, take it that you got the 2004 Beta, did you get it in 250 or 270?? do you think that i should wait until the 2005 Beta is out to get my new one or should i just go for a 2004 just now? also do you think that i sjould go for another 250 or go for the 270 model? are you going to the Grace Dignan Memorial Trial this year? if so could i get a shot of your bike there? cheers chris, p.s. once my new bike arrives i will be getting right back into trials again, because recently i have let my riding slip away because my bike has been out of action, but it would be great to get out practicing with you when you are down from college!

Unplug this and plug that in...no cutting, no solder... i had to make a small wire to connect the wires togerther because the connections wre differnt because you need to connect the yelloow wites together dont you?> James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
