So this week I have something a little different, its not a restoration as such but rather a recommissioning of my 2004 Beta Rev-3 270cc trials bike that I have left abandoned in a barn for years. So i thought now is as good a time as any to dig it out and show it some love.
First job of the day was to actually get it dug out of the barn so after moving a lot of wood and scaffolding i was able to gain access to it and low and behold the joys of dry storage it wasn't seized or rusted solid just a little dusty from sitting all those years but that nothing a quick wash wont fix.
So after getting the bike into the workshop and onto the lift it was given a thorough wash and then left to dry overnight. The next day i went over it with a fine tooth comb to find all its problems along with all the issues i knew that it already had, so a brief run down of its problems is as follows, wheel bearings, chain and sprockets, broken plastics, worn graphics,broken brackets, rusty hardware, worn grips and levers and the engine is leaking coolant into the transmission so yeah quite a few issues to deal with before its ready for riding again.
In todays episode i will be stripping the bike down, sorting the wheel bearings and punctures and getting the bike back into a rolling state aswell as fixing any other issues i find along the way. I will also be pulling the engine and getting ready for next weeks episode
so please enjoy.
