Re: Joe's Beta thread
Essentially a new bike at this point. Have you spent more than what it would have cost to buy a new one off the floor yet?

Re: Joe's Beta thread
Well most of this stuff is mods I would have done to a new bike anyway. So while I am in the neighborhood of what a new race model would cost, it would be bone stock still.juddspaintballs wrote: ↑Wed Jun 13, 2018 10:39 pmEssentially a new bike at this point.

For the record, I have NOT kept track of what I have spent on mods/upgrades. I'm sure the number is depressing

2 custom spacers later and I can now use my Husky wheels on the rear. Fronts are next.

Finally got a somewhat decent start in a hare scramble this year. Life is so much smoother when you aren't the last guy in line

Nice riding Joe! Makes me want to do a Hare Scramble... My riding might not be quite as smooth though

Dumped it hard at the greenbrier enduro this past weekend. Slightly bent the handle bar mounts.
I almost had to cut the mount in half to get the bolts out but they finally worked free.
I wasn't sure on what all I was going to find damaged so I picked up a complete replacement from BRP which arrived today.

Looks like you'll have to put more effort in to booger up the new setup. Not quite as adjustable though.

Re: Joe's Beta thread
So I've been having an issue with the bike randomly running away full throttle since mid summer last year. Every time I think it is fixed, I go to a race and 5 minutes in she says F you and runs away again. This seems to have started up after baking it at Tough like RORR from a blown out coolant hose.
I noticed in a pic from a race after that that I was smoking a ton so I did a pressure test and it showed a leaking crank seal on the trans side, so that was replaced prior to the Sumter NEPG. And the problem persists.
I have the bike on the stand now and with it running, there is no change when spraying down the carb/engine with brake cleaner (was suggested maybe a bad intake boot).
Another suggestion was a damaged slide so I pulled that out and while the slide looks fine, the needle does not.
I am not really sure what would cause this? Or if it may be the source of my problem? I mean it looks like the thing got sand blasted but the rest of the carb is spotless (haven't pulled the bowl off yet) as is the intake track and I try and do a reasonable job at maintaining air filters in my bikes.
