beta-boy Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 so this was my first day riding in the expert class, i've been riding for 5 years, and waiting for this moment for all 5, well i rode everything, my points weren't very good, but i was realy happy how i rode, i pushed myself farther then i thought i could well im still riding the same 97 beta techno 250 as when i started 5 years ago, and im very used to my bike, its the oldest bike in the expert class but thats ok, and at the moment i can't afford a new one, so seeing as i can't buy a new bike im going to get mine into the best shape possible untill i can get a new bike so.... for starters im going to buy new springs for my fork and shock, im getting all new rear end bearings and bushings and bolts im going to buy a 38 tooth sprocket cause my bike is geared realy low, and my first gear is absolutely useless and i should be riding more sections in 1st and 2nd, where as im riding them in 2nd and 3rd, im also going to get a non O-ring chain for less rolling resistance, i've got boysen reeds in it, i've also got a 4 piston front brake does anyone else have any other sugestions, i want to change the jetting to get more snap out of the engine but i don't know anything about jetting any help would be appreciated thanks jesse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fracy Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Hey Jesse: Unfortunately I didn't get to see how you made out today, but it sounds like you had fun!You are upgrading the two things that I would think should be first on the list for your bike! I would also look into getting some V-Force Reeds for your bike. Go to the Beta USA website for more info, I can also look into this for you if you need help! Let Ron at Beta USA that we know each other and he will take care of you! Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beta-boy Posted February 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 thanks for the response guys hey steve are the V-force reeds better then the boysen? and what do they improve on? also do you know where i could get my rear shock rebuilt? -Jesse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beta-boy Posted February 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 i had new piston and rings put in it about 4 years ago, so i guess i could take a look, maybe throw some new piston and rings in it, where could i get the barrel recoated?

steve fracy Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Jesse: I would freshen up your top end for sure. Also, de-carbonize your exhaust system, it will feel like a new bike! The V-force reeds are a step above, like the next generation of reed technology! Email Ron at Beta USA and ask for his opinion. Let him know I told you about them, and we are in the same club! He will help you out for sure and can ship any part anytime for your bike! Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
