dan williams Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Bold new graphics, improved clutch. New crankcase volume for make the improved power immediate..... Of course there's always the chance they will redesign the whole thing. Fuel injection anyone? I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

heffergm Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) I've heard several theories (guesses) that the reason they moved the CDI (or the rectifier... whatever the metal thing with fins is) up under the headlight was to make room to add fuel injection, but I guess we'll see.

jimmyl Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 I heard they had the power and engine response spot on with the prototype fuel injected bike - just finalising the jet that squirts fuel direct onto the floor to maintain the beta tradition. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hgas Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 It would be interesting if they where going down that route , and especially if they keep the layout the same , I really don't like the vertigo and the old ossa because all you can hear is the bike sucking air from the airfilter infront of you I think it sounds abit old fashioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffergm Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Huh... I've never noticed the intake noise. The fan on the other hand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heffergm Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Amazing how they can take the beautiful red frame '13 Beta and turn it into ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan williams Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 12 hours ago, oni nou said: And 'low friction' open main bearings instead of sealed .....so that's what the leaders in design and fashion think about diaphragm clutches.and Efi. They could be silicon nitride but really no big whoop. The bold new graphics are basically, "Screw it, let's not paint it." As for the diaphragm clutch I see just as many people complaining about setting up the diaphragm clutch as the old style so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stroke4stroke Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Interesting that Beta consider that previous versions did not, apparently, offer outstanding levels of performance and reliability? This is what happens when marketing BS has to be used to hype up marginal changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breagh Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Don't think many trials riders are fooled by this I think most buy new bikes to keep maintainence down to a minimum.Frankly I couldn't tell the difference between any Evo beta and much the same goes for Gas Gas and Montesa.
