Bigusdickus Posted November 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Thanks for the input guys I will sort the bars out. I have also emailed Beta UK with the frame number, hopefully they will give a definite answer. After looking at the history it doesn't look like they changed a great deal. Rich.

ahh_me2 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Hmm, that's odd, I don't see the side access cover. 2002 should be side airbox, pretty sure it wasn't until 2003 they moved it to the top Here's a pic of mine with the airbox cover in the yellow circle Have you removed the mudguard/fender to see exactly where the airbox is?

lineaway Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 2000 and 2001 had the side filter. 2002 was the first without it. It looks like you need the carb mod done. http://trialsport.com.au/beta/Manuals/mikuni/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw those risers in the trash. You are loosing all the leverage, due to the risers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahh_me2 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Risers have been long gone, this was a pic when I brought the bike home! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigusdickus Posted November 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Ha ha that was going to be my next question, I am sure it's not supposed to drop that much petrol . ? the angle the carb is at must make it hard to get a decent float height.

Bigusdickus Posted November 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 There's some very useful info there. The bike seems to be running very rich at the moment, I am not sure if it's flooding or needs leening of a bit. I will have the carb of tomorrow and have a look. Rich.

Bigusdickus Posted November 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Good eyes Lineaway you are correct it's a 2002. Thanks Gary at Beta UK for the quick response, so two years older than I was led to believe but no sweat it's in good condition for it's age and I think it's going to be plenty enough bike at this stage of my Trials career.

Bigusdickus Posted November 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Hi to all. Last night I was very kindly invited to a practice and training day at Raydon Pit Suffolk. So I got up early and sorted the previously mentioned issues and of I went. Thanks Gary for making me feel welcome. So ten minutes in I am just starting to figure things out when I disappear in a big cloud of steem ? so after a bit of diagnosis it turns out the fan is not working. Tryed jumping the wires at the thermostat made no difference. So I am guessing the fan is dead. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigusdickus Posted November 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Ok so hear come the questions, what sort of voltage should I get at the thermostat. Is it more complicated than just bridging the two thermostat wires to get the fan running? Is it possible the stator is not give enough juice to run the fan. Are the fans still available for a bike this old. Any advice will be much appreciated. Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigusdickus Posted November 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 I am properly fed up now just seen the price of a new fan, hopefully this will be some thing simple. ? Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Just bridge the two wires together. Should just be the thermo, unless somebody screwed up the wiring putting the kill button on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigusdickus Posted November 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 That was the first thing I tried, unfortunately not that simple. What relation would the kill switch have to the cooling fan ? the plan tomorrrow is to take the multi meter to it and find out if there is any power. Am I looking for 12v, there has to be a voltage regulator some place not sure where it is though. I have had a chat with the guy I bought it from he says he is happy to take it back and give me a refund to be honest that may happen as I have had a bad year for mechanicals, I will update when I have a better understanding of whats going on with it.
