durham4416 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I've just recently bought a 2013 Beta evo 250, prior to buying I rode a gasgas 250 of the same year which felt perfect, good responsive power delivery, after a quick test ride I thought the Beta was similar but having entered a trial yesterday with my son my throttle just didn't feel at all responsive, very on/off. I have quite a bad wrist injury and limited movement so the throttle response is even more crucial than normal. What can I try with the Beta or should I just look for a gasser?

tshock250 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Just to clarify, you think the throttle isn't very responsive but it's too quick? Can you expand a bit on this please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glynn Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 So its too snappy? you would prefer more linear power? maybe mess about with flywheel weights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durham4416 Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 It just doesn't seem 'connected', it's not smooth, it has enough poke but just seems fluffy, hard to explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsrfun Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Sounds like carb settings maybe running too rich or a choked exhaust. Call Beta uk for jetting info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazz46 Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 So you're saying gasgas smoother then beta? Normally betas are silky Smooth and gasers are snappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glynn Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 My dads Beta Techno was like you're describing, turns out it had 1 carbon reed and the other made out of a milk carton! was aweful to ride but with some new carbon fibre reeds its lovely and smooth. Maybe carb or reeds? try some dual stage boysons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durham4416 Posted March 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 The gasgas I rode had a dual action throttle, slow for the first quarter or something, it was very nice to ride. The bet just doesn't feel right at the moment, I don't have a lot of experience with carb set up but it does feel like it could be sorted.

durham4416 Posted March 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Just had a look and my beta has a slow action throttle. The map/light switch has also been removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
