motor has fresh Amsoil (which was overfilled again like my 250) and the cooling system will get a proper distilled+vinegar douching this evening. I always wreck perfectly good shit as soon as i acquire it anyway so none of this bothers me but hopefully the teething issues are over. also had amazing gas milage for the day so the system wasn't getting pressurized and pushing out the carb.
#NE X DIRT 3 CRACK#
i never thought to crack the gas cap open. the boil/bubbling i heard may have just been some minor pressure in the tank. i could have left it, but i don't want fuel dumping everywhere when i eat it. in it's place i went with a check valve like my 250 came with which is placed inline on the gas cap vent hose. apparently the rad manufacturer may not have rinsed well enough leaving 'dust' in the system (?) no clue but for some that's all they did to cure the issue.Īlso ran into a few posts talking about the new style check valve under the gas cap, apparently those are shite and don't work so well, the trick is to just remove it, which i've done. but while waiting for the parts i ran into a post where a few new owners were having similar issues, Beta responded by saying to dump the OEM coolant and refill with the coolant of your choice. i chose to delete the thermostat with a Samco hose kit and replace all the o-rings in the head (x3). sad face, the usual Beta head o-ring + t-stat issue i assumed.
when i dropped the coolant it was black as night.
#NE X DIRT 3 CRACKED#
bike never winced once, had maximum enjoy.Īfter the 2hr drive home, bike was cold, cracked the rad cap and had pressure. assumed it was coolant but may have been gas (?) bike ran perfectly all day, did 30mi in ~3hrs, mix of slow tech and dirt connector roads almost topped out. BUT, some more teething discomfort.Īfter a semi-slow climb we stopped to chat and i heard boiling. X swap Michelin tires for Shinko Golden/Kenda IBEXġ4/49 was a massive success, gearing is perfect for what we ride, October Mtn was a great test. X swap start/stop switch to left side, ignition map switch to right X remove as many of the lighting/computer bits as i can Impressions during first heat cycle compared to my 250RR The 5th Italian mistress to enter my stable has arrived
