Bet & Win 250 / Re: Do you have a Bet & Win 250? Around a 2006 model?

Very easy - just play with the buttons and you should be able to figure it out. To toggle betw Fahrenheit and Celsius, press and hold the leftmost button.

Bet & Win 250 / Re: Front part issues

Hi there. also check your muffler. The stuff inside there eventually break up and start making noises under different engine exhaust pressures. Outside everything looks fine so you might not think there is a problem. Take off the muffler and turn upside down - you will hear if anything is loose. When you put it back on the sound / vibration may very well be gone.

Bet & Win 250 / Re: roller weights....?
« on: May 25, 2012, 12:43:03 AM »
I have been using 24g weight rollers for 30 000km (19000 miles). They work for me and dropped my topend revs a whole lot, but then again I am a skinny guy at 160 lb. My next weights will be 26g or 28g.

Bet & Win 250 / Help for J Costa install into B&W 250
« on: May 23, 2012, 01:26:58 AM »
Hi All
I am a newbie to this forum and would like to hear from someone who has installed a J Costa variator into their 250 B&W. I bought my 2002 scoot in South Africa and shipped it over to New Zealand where I now live.
Some background:
I ride 80km (50miles) a day to work and back on flat roads, so I upgraded to the TKC muffler and 24g weight rollers. This gave me more top end and a really noisy scooter. 12months later the TKC bracket broke off, throwing the muffler on to the road which a car promptly rode over and destroyed. I resurrected my old muffler which has nothing left inside but still works.
My Variator:
After 30 000km (19k miles) using the 24g rollers I decided to service the belt/weights and my local scooter shop talked me into importing a J Costa variator + Malossi belt. Big bucks and 2 months later I installed the Costa. The instructions were not really good and I had no idea where to put the thin metal washer, but the rest of the installation was straightforward enough and I put in the new belt as well. However, during testing I found the revs to be way too high (60kph at 6000rpm) - definitely something wrong so I put the old belt back - same result, although the Malossi was a bit on the slack side with higher rpm's at takeoff.
The centre steel bush lengths of the Costa is identical to the stock bush, but I think that either the Costa bush is too long for this setup (maybe shorter with a spacer against the engine?) or the sliders are too light. No, I have not changed the clutch.
Has anyone had similar problems? Any advice appreciated.....
cheers
Nigel
