Cool bike Cam, I ride a Beta 498 (road legal) and enjoy Adv riding and Adv trail riding, seems to be a few people with road reged enduro bikes.

Your beta looks well set up for some good rides!!

I have set it up to suit my riding style and what I like to ride, the 500 enduro bikes make great adventure bikes being light enough that in my case what starts out an adventure ride becomes a trail ride and OH NO look a creek to ride up and that is the end of that, off I go, well I either fall off or get stuck or both at the same time, then I am glad the bike only weighs 113kgs.

The compromise is I run the soft compound Motoz tyres http://www.motomox.co.nz/shop/show_s...t.php?prod=252 which I like, they are F&$king noisey on the road but good for my purpose and on the back of the 500 I get around 2500km before the rubbish tin gets them.

The worst compromise is the seat, I think the arsehole that KTM sacked for making crap seats has been employed by Beta, I wear these and they work well http://www.motomox.co.nz/shop/show_s...ct.php?prod=21

I really don't care for riding on the road but I need to get to the start line somehow so the compromises are worth while for me.

Anyone fancy a ride up to Lake Summer this weekend? Looks like there's a few lumpy 4x4 tracks up there that could be fun!!

The DB1K is on this weekend, quite a few of the Chch riders are down that way so not sure who is still floating around this weekend.

Lake Sumner is a great route, have a great ride

Cheers

DB1K = Jealous!!... Very keen to run it next year.

Discovered the Lake Summer routes on RMOTO, great site bud!

Looking forward to checking out the lake.

Sweet!.. We will be heading up SH1 to get to Lake Summer, I’m not sure if the Oxford/Sheffield Bridge will save you any distance from Rolly… it’s about twice as far according to google maps… So maybe meet at The Peg again? It’s a longer trip, so maybe worth leaving a little earlier for this one, is 8am doable for you tomorrow?

Hawarden looks like the last stop for fuel before the hills, then it’s about 55KM’s to the Lake… Have you been before?... Looks bloody good up there!!

[Benjah]

Yeah Google maps is saying the same thing to me, so the Peg it is. 8 is a little early for me though, how about 8:30?

8.30 is a tiny bit more civilized... see you then!

Hey lovely people,

My '97 XT600 is playing up with stalls under load and it's suspected it may be the coil. Does anyone have one lying around I could borrow to test?
Failing that, anyone know anywhere reputable to get a good second hand one?

Cheers!

Still up for Banks/Bossu Road this weekend?... Cant do tomorrow but Sunday good.

What your saying sounds more like a fuel problem than electrical, have you checked the fuel flow from the tank is good, are there any fuel filters that need cleaning ect..

Have you tested the Ohms on the coil to make sure they're in spec?

Hey man, nope and nope yet, I have no idea about fuel filters but I don't think it had any. I'll pm you a link to a video I made of it happening.
How do I test coil? Because it's intermittent I doubt it'll show up as faulty anyhoo hence wanting to find a good one to try for a bit.
