dirtfacedog Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Just wanting to know can a beta rev 3 be started without a kickstart as in bump started I think it can't be done as the clutch is hydraulic but I may be wrong any body gonna enlighten me on this cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen1967 Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Mine will only bump start in 3rd gear and doesn`t always do it every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stroke4stroke Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Try at least fourth, it's much easier. As far as bump starting is concerned a clutch is a clutch is a clutch, method of operation is irrelevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0007 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Cable or hydraulic is irrelevant as mentioned The hardest thing is getting the tire to bite, get some speed, pull a little nose wheelie, push the back tire into the ground to make it bite and drop the clutch If it bites it starts but best of luck with the timing LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete_scorpa3 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 If I remember correctly the 2004 and 2005 rev3's had alloy kick starts, I broke one on my new bike back in 04. Earlier bikes had steel ones. The only thing that broke quicker than the kick start was the stator, and I had two of those go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
