BETA

Hi Guys

Done some fine tuning after my first ride –

Removed the standard 6 day front and replaced with a Pirreli
set the rear sag at 100 mm , was measuring 112 – 115 mm when settled in
moved the forks up through the tripple clamps around 5mm
fitted steering damper ( had to machine my old mount up to suit ) MSC do not make a mount to suit the Beta , just waiting on the headstock mount from Scotts .
Bike felt awesome after the mods .

Hi Guys

The damper mount was for a TM which is a fair bit different to what was needed for the Beta
Hole centres and heights were different so I done up a rough sketch and had the machine shop guys at work to machine it up and believe it or not and taking into account my crap drawing it fitted perfectly .

May need to modify slightly when I fit the post , we will see ( I love steering dampers )

I have only been out twice but with the changes I made after the first ride the bike performed
great , it steered much more precisely and felt very confident on it ( quality tires makes a big difference )

Having not ridden a 2 stroke since 2008 I am still adapting but sure don’t miss that extra weight .

Next ride will have the steering damper hooked up so can only get better , got to love it .
