oldktmdoug Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 I had logged on as oldtlsdoug back in 2009, that id fell off. Anyway, I was given a 2006 Beta Rev 3 270. It needs a kickstarter and maybe a stator. My plan is to change the kickstarter, see if she runs, then deal with the stator if not. I am a little reluctant to mix the gas 80:1, but it seems the going mix, so I guess I will. I think I have some Maxima K2 full synthetic oil. For the crankcase I have a lot of leftover Motorex 4T full synth 20W50 from my RC8 days. I am hoping I can use that. Anyway, I am looking forward to playing with the thing when I get her running. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Bike looks real good! Who's was that? The K2 works well at 80:1 although the gear oil may be a bit thick, gotta see how the clutch likes it. Many use ATF. If you do have a stator issue, just send it to Motoplat UK. Only takes a few days each way. You know your Beta dealer is in Midlothian, right? Later, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftp Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 You had a TLS ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldktmdoug Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 It used to belong to Gary Casperson. I worked with him for a long time. The number plate I think is from 2009. I was a TL guy for a long time, I had two S's and one R. Loved them, spent a lot of time on TLZone and TLplanet, then moved on. My first S My R And finally my last S I moved on to Euro bikes, Aprilia, KTM and now playing with the Beta, lifes been good. I had to replace 3rd and 5th gears in the TLR because I had a desire for GP shift, but it left me after I had to rebuild the tranny. On the left is one of the damaged gears...
