pen9jamie Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 i thought the older beta 50 auto used a ktm engine....but thought the rev 50 and 80 geared was a there own engine,,,,?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Actually the the old KTM 50 & 65 motors where built by Beta. The Beta 80 motor is the same basic motor as a KTM 65 through '09, though the power is not the same at all. Not sure if the clutches will interchange though.

jamersby Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Th rev 80 is basiclly a KTM engine and the KTM 65 clutch fits straight on to the 80, I know because I fitted one on my lads bike a few weeks ago, the only difference is the mx 65 has a cush drive fitted which gives a split second delay when releasing the clutch not that my lad notices,the Beta 80 clutch plates fit straight in also, the ring gear and pinion gear are the same we have had no problems as yet, I fitted one because Lampkins have a back order which would have took weeks to turn up, other than that the mx clutches are alot cheaper. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bike is a 2004 Beta and the clutch I used was off a KTM SX 65 06 model it went straight on but I did have to use the KTM gear pinion with it.
