Probably, but i have found since looking at this that almost all bikes with the mud flap set up like this suffer from it. If you take it off then the rear shock gets destroyed with all the crap hitting it so its the lesser of the two evils i expect.

Well you know what they say if you had stayed in school studied hard and then went to Uni and graduated as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine you to could be as loaded as Sophia

Decided to start a thread on the ongoing maintenance and repairs for the Beta First entry was from some work last night when doing some maintenance i noticed the rear shock mud plate has been rubbing against the swingarm I've heard this is common on the KTM's but not read any reports on it for the Beta's The two scuff marks above the wear mark are where the air box is hitting the swing arm when my fat arse is bottoming the suspension out I cut and shaped a bit of Ali to fit where the flap touches so that will wear out instead of the swing arm I bonded it on with Tiger Seal the stuff used to stick car trim on good stuff I sprayed it this morning with some stone chip for colour mainly because it's what i had kicking around not too worried about the finish it will be covered in crap next time i'm out with the mud flap fitted and look at my shiny new non gay tyre

Cracking crisps Bob i am quite partial to their black pepper and sea salt flavour

I think that would be more appropriate for the anonymous members obviously flounced members creeping on here to see what their missing

It's not rape if his pants are down and he's bent over all lubed up when he hears you arrive

Maintenance on the Beta tonight. new pads front and rear and a new Michelin Enduro medium tyre on the rear, re-lubed the front mousse and that's not the kind of moose lubing Marcel does

It's a lease hire car so we are already looking for compensation for not being able to use it until sorted, we wont mention we have another lead we can use

It's probably the charging point we installed at fault not the lead

One of the company vehicles in work is an all electric VW car and we had to phone up today because the charger cable has stopped working and is still under warranty, they said they can't do nothing about it for two months and need the car at the garage to check it out even though we told them it works with a borrowed cable but not with the one it came with so our option is to not use the car for two months or buy another cable around £200 at our cost fucking useless bastards and while talking to them they said there's a few minor recalls on the car one of them being a software update for the door handles WTF

Been out on the Beta all day with my mate Gary we were out 12hours i changed the oil yesterday and zeroed the hour meter when i looked at it after getting home tonight it said the bike had done 5 hours, so that's 5 hours riding and 7 hours talking WTF

That's going to be my breakfast tomorrow no coffee though

Sadly slowly wont submit it

I've never had any experience with them so can't really answer that but since there was nothing wrong with the bike before it was parked up i would be looking at the air filter make sure nothing has moved in there and checking spark plugs but if it runs ok at higher revs the plugs should be ok. I don't want to worry him but i had a problem with the CDI on my old VFR years ago it would tick over ok but would be spluttering until i got over 6k and then it was fine fault was intermittent though so wasn't always there and it changed to running ok up to 6k and then spluttering after that sometimes.

The spring i fitted on the Beta has made a difference over the stock one in a good way, i was happy with the stock spring until a couple of weeks ago when i turned the pre load up on the front spring which got rid of all the deflections i was having on rocky ground and it also ironed out the small bumps on the road making the ride smoother, but it highlighted the rear was doing the same so i thought i'd swap the spring night before last that i kept off the 22 bike, now front and rear compliment each other the ride on the road is a lot smoother and off road it has made a big difference once i tweaked with the damping. It now rides pretty flat over the shallow whoops at a good speed without bottoming out on the start of my mountain track. i'm convinced the 22 bike had duff suspension from the factory because the manual says their the same but they are totally different.

A straight 4 like that will go down to almost tickover in top gear and pull smoothly away with no issues at least my CB1000 did their not like the twin cylinder engines

When i typed it in it came up with this

It's a lovely evening i think i shall go and test the rear suspension on the Beta see if i wasted my time changing the spring or not

So you only drink wine out of a box i didn't think you would go that low Pedro or have you drank it from a can as well

One for you

12k seems a bit steep even if you do have the funds
