dan williams Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Are you saying....actually what are you saying? Is it a bike issue or a rider issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 (edited) It is a TRIALS BIKE , ya know , made to turn really sharp , at will ... Kinda twitchy at speed too ?? On edit , unless your head stock brgs, or front wheel brgs are totally knackered , kinda the way they are ....

overdale Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 If all the above are ok, are your bars tilted too far forward as this can give the symptoms you describe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownee Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 (edited) Try it stationary...if still clunky then sounds like headstock bearings... Edited October 5, 2016 by brownee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beta200290 Posted October 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Just upgraded, old bike was not snatchy on tight turns. Tried moving bars forward and back slightly but seem the same position as others bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffergm Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 It's this a new to you bike? If it's newer than whatever you were on before by a decade the bars are probably just a lot wider than what you're used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan williams Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Beta's can have grabby clutches. Clutch fix pinned at top, new fluid (not ATF). Work back brake against clutch in turns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
