BETA SSDT 2011.
For SSDT riders ‘on confirmation of entry’ please telephone Gary/Beta UK (01535 655970) to sign on for our back up service
and inform him of your number and which bike you will ride and also your address and credit card details. You must sign on
with us before you go to the SSDT.
We supply spare parts, tools, compressors etc to help service your bike at the SSDT.Below are some helpful tips designed for people
riding in the SSDT or you may find some things helpful anyway. These are modifications that we make to our own bikes. A lot of
these things apply only to riders competing in the SSDT. Obviously these are only guidelines, you must prepare your bike fully.
EACH YEAR WE EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS FROM RIDERS WHO DO NOT BOTHER TO DO THE JOBS LISTED BELOW.
SOME THINGS MAY SEEM UNIMPORTANT BUT THEY ARE ALL THERE FOR A REASON.
The SSDT committee have decided that they will be stricter with regard to us helping you with your bike so make sure you are able to
carry out the work yourself.
Try to prepare your bike 2 weeks before so you are prepared well in advance.
TYRES. New.
BOLTS. Check all accessible bolts to ensure they are tight. Check disc bolts and lock tight using green lock tight, do not over tighten.
Check these regularly. Do not locktight small bolts as it makes it very difficult to remove them if required.
BRAKE PADS. New front and rear. Check you have a little play in the rear brake rod. The piston must return fully to its off
position, the rear brake can stick on if this is not correct. IMPORTANT.
Grease the pins, which hold the pads in place. If the allen key fit is not good REPLACE. Check that the pipe, which runs from the rear
brake master cylinder to the fluid reservoir is free and not trapped. Pre 2011 bikes + 4T.
ROAD LEGAL. Please make sure your bike is road legal, taxed, insured, rear number plate that you can read from the rear, horn, and
speedo.
KILL BUTTON. Evo only. Remove standard kill button and cut off the “bottom” white block connector as ringed in the diagram
below and tape up. Remove standard kill switch assembly. To fit a aftermarket kill switch connect the two wires to the two wires that
you are left with after cutting off the connector, it does not matter which way round they go, do not earth the kill button as it is earthed
through the wiring loom.. THIS IS IMPORTANT.
MUD FLAP. Very important. Fit well before so you know it works correctly. Prevents mud from clogging up the radiator. A good
mod is also to run some duct tape down the back of each side of the front fender, about 2cm. You can also make a mud flap from tape,
which works well as it is flexible. Fit so nuts are under the mudguard as sometimes they can flick off the radiator cover.
THROUGHOUT THE EVENT AND ESPECIALLY AFTER EVERY MOOR CROSSING PULL OFF THE PLASTIC
RADIATOR COVER AND BANG ON SOMETHING TO CLEAN OUT. Do not rub mud into the radiator. You can blow out
with the airline when you return to the start. Every year we have riders retire because they do not do this. I CANNOT
STRESS HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO DO THIS; THE BIKE CANNOT COOL ITSELF IF IT CANNOT GET AIR.
FAN. Take your bike up the road for a run and make sure the fan is working correctly. If you do remove any wiring from your bike
please contact us. Do not remove any electrical boxes or change any wiring without speaking to us. The fan is wired through
the lighting wires on a standard bike (Rev-3 ONLY). Also when you check the coolant it should be so you can just see in the
bottom of the header tank, do not fill full as it has to expand. During the week if you squeeze the hose quickly and you can see
radiator fluid this is fine.
GEARING. If your main objective is to finish the SSDT I would strongly recommend gearing your bike up. If you are slow on the
moors it helps you to make up some time on the road/track sections and also does not put as much stress on your engine. Try to use
for as long as possible before the SSDT.Rev-3/Evo 2T use 13-41. This basically makes your first gear a touch lower than your
original second but giving you the advantage of a high top gear. This is a BIG advantage. Most riders use this gearing for the SSDT. 4
stroke keep standard 11-42.
