I think the valves and cams produce heat, which can be used to cook frozen meatballs on the valve cover? It's probably explained in the Beta cookbook.

Anyone know if KTM makes plastics that will fit a Beta? (Asking for a friend).

Currently not a Beta owner, but from past ownership I can tell you that when a beautiful red Beta becomes tired and faded out it turns into a orange KTM.

Wow! So this transformation happens after the first ride on the Beta?   ;D

I think valves and cams are used in automated Stromboli stuffing machines.   So that probably has something to do with it.

That could explain it! I bet the Family Thrift and other grocery store chains will issue a Beta Service Bulletin.
