2006 Beta RR 250 Questions & Answers
CARB PROBLEM
set the fuel level to about 3MM below the gasket surface. I have syncronized them so they are all right together. They all read 8 inches. It idles great but when I snap the throttle it will stumble and if I really open it the engine will stall. I noticed quite a bit of gasoline being blown backwards from the carbs. Is this normal. I have seen this with 2 cycle engines, but don't know if it is normal for a 4 cycle. I have also set the points and ignition timing. I did set the fuel level consideralby higher then the manual said. It said to set the float about 1 inch, and I set them about .675 or something like that, but what I was after was the fuel level in the bowl. It acts like a lean situation, so I raised the metering rods two notches. Could I actually be causing a flooding situation, or is it still to lean? Oh, I did a compression check, all were right around 135psi. ,you need to set the float level to the factory specifications.if i understand your post you have increased the fuel level height in the bowl by 3/8 of an inch and raised the needles also.the only possible result of this is too much fuel.,,,

Have the shop put in a richer pilot jet, aka "slow jet". Also, move the needle clip down one notch for better low end performance.

Brake dust removal
long-armed brush is usually the best way scrub off brake dust and dirt. Apply a wheel cleaner first and let it settle before scrubbing it off. Chrome wheels will require specific cleaners so be aware of your wheel's finish before purchasing a cleaner.
Don't use tire dressing products as their glossy finishes can compromise grip,,
Tough start
I pull in the clutch and when I put it in first gear it either jumps forward and stalls or wants to move forward but doesn't quite stall. After the bike warms up the problem goes away.
I am pretty familiar with clutches in cars and in general (I'm a mechanic) but I just want some opinions. Could it be air in the system that takes a warm up cycle to go away? Or is this a common problem with Monsters?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!The clutch slave can be difficult to bleed. It sounds like you have air in there.
I'd bleed it and zip tie the lever to the grip overnight. That will allow air to return to the master.
Another issue could be sticky plates in the clutch pack. Does the bike get ridden infrequently?,,,
Is it safe to eat grapefruit while taking beta blockers?
In terms of asking health questions about prescription drugs, you should ask that question of the doctor who issued the prescription or the pharmacist who filled it. I would not risk my life on the advice of random strangers on the internet who may not know their elbow from another part of their body. WEBMD.com states that grapefruit can affect beta blockers and to contact your doctor.
