stevel Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Just had a similar problem, and originally thought the usual i.e water pump seal, but unlikely as the bike had only done 5 trials. Eventually found that a screw on top of the engine, behind the kick start, was loose. (kick start stop bolt??) Unfortunately due the routing of the exhaust you need to either remove the exhaust or cut down an allen key to suit. However if this is the fault it is a relatively simple fix compared with the alternatives. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liviob Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 does yours get water in egnition ??? Yeah. Pull the cover often and let it dry out. Then spray the ignition with WD40 to prevent corosion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianwilson Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Ive had sveral Betas and have always took the ignition cover off after every use . I never got more than a bit of dampness in my REV3s but My current Evo seems to get really soaked. After a jetwash it literally pours out when I remove the cover. Ive spoke to lampkins and they told me they dont modify their team bikes . Its just part of the mainenance to remove the cover and let them dry naturally. I have had trouble with the oil going milky ( more like grey emulsion paint) on my 2009 Evo. I changed the water pump seal (easy job) and it cured it straight away.
