Finally someone I can trust doing a review. No offence to other youtubers, but when they review a bike I KNOW has problems as "all peaches and roses" I tend to lose faith in them. Morgan, you on the other had have consistently called balls for balls, and strikes for strikes. I respect that, and I trust that. Even covered some of your own failings at times........ Rock on!

@highlandcycles Год назад

Thanks

@onthethrottle7104 Год назад

First off, the reason I watch this channel is due to the honesty you get from this guy...you will not find this kind of honesty on any other dirt bike channel, trust me. Second, great bike, awesome looking and it is tough as nails. I ride with guys that have hundreds of hours on the bikes and no issues other than normal replacement things and we ride extremely hard enduro. Ride over 40 mph when we do hit the transfer roads and the bikes do have lots of vibration, etc. Me personally, I can't get over the twitch, and vibration... and the brakes on my KTM's are smooth as butter, I love the Brembo's and I also love the butter smooth counterbalance. Great review Morgan, I would love to see a long term review!

@highlandcycles Год назад

Thanks so much.

Working on it. I got to the party a little late but we are growing.

@americandirtrider7662 Год назад

The older Beta engine configuration (72x72) had that excitement you are talking about. But I do agree, their new oversquare engine is so linear and almost makes its own traction out of corners. They kept the square engine in the current Beta 300 RX track bikes though.

@adventurer67 Год назад

The Jetting is for 5400 and up, 155 Main, stock pilot, and an old JD red needle in the 3rd position. Higher up would drop the needle to the 2nd, and the main would be a 152. I went 2 sizes bigger on the rear spring (used Yamaha Titanium) to balance it out. I will get some better tires and Moose Balls ( heavier rotating) in it that will probably settle the fidgety feeling down for Morgan.

@d.brayman3165 Год назад

Beta USA, send Morgan a bike. An honest review can do nothing but make a company better whether it's good or bad.

@painsrides3616 Год назад

One of the my riding buds has a 250 RR with an RK Tek head, he swears it feels better than any 300 he's ever ridden... Not only that, but the poor Beta has taken more than its fair share of thrashings and has held up.

@outfitr9703 Год назад

Those cables are so high above the number plate.

@utahdesertrider1806 Год назад

When a KTM rider reviews a Beta it’s obvious. Not a bad thing. Same for me when I ride KTM. I respect them but I’d never buy one. Both bikes have traits you can feel. Nice review. Very unbiased for a KTM guy. 👍

@timmychen6 7 месяцев назад

I have a 23 Xtrainer and Crf 300L. I think 300L will do the trail in the video just fine and save all the maintenance hassles

@dalepellerin Год назад

Rode both the Race and the RR and liked the Sachs shocks better on my 2023 Beta RR. But love my Betas. Since buying my 23, bought my brother a 2018 Beta 300rr, my buddy a 2018 Beta Xtrainer, my other buddy bought a 2020 300 Race and a 2021 Beta 250rr. Love them all.

@flave932 Год назад

Great little ride review. I purchased a 2020 300rr without ever riding a Beta before. I have put 160 hours on it zero major mechanical issues. I do everything with it gnarly hard enduro to riding on a vet moto track.

@glennaltschwager5234 Год назад

Awesome honest review mate. I jumped over to a '22 Beta 250RR last year. Got the suspension valved with N10Z cone valves and bladder in rear. My favourite bike to date without a doubt. Love your work 👍

@ejgrant5191 Год назад

Remember it has CRAP tires! We'll excuse the dump you did....Get good tires? Your golden. My buddy loves his 300RR and will never ride "Orange" again....I'm thinking....Go Red next bike myself...and I'm not taking Honda because 4T Dirt Bikes are a JOKE! Nice review👍

@highlandcycles Год назад

Hahaha that was all me.

@seamarsh3756 Год назад

i don't like the throttle cable routing.. looks weird.. but geez nothing compared to that brake line arching 12" in the air.. wth is that?!

@emw5008 Год назад

Great review - totally agree with all. Off-set pags and a bar riser really help for taller folks. The fueling is something else...miles better than my TPI.

@onthethrottle7104 Год назад

What do you mean by "the fueling"? Reason I ask, my TPI gets outrageously good fuel mileage. Do you mean throttle response?

@emw5008 Год назад

@@onthethrottle7104 Yea, response. Especially initially off idle, just super crisp. My TPI gets "garble" at lower rpms before it clears up where the Beta is clean through the rev range. TPI is definitely better on fuel usage though.

@davidkraft4529 Год назад

Also 11:15 minutes into it looks like there is something in the clouds behind you. UFO? 😂

@Shelby8371 Год назад

Beta 4 life. It’s super difficult to ride someone else’s motorcycle and you did phenomenal. It’s way way harder than it looks 🔥🔥💪

@highlandcycles Год назад

Thanks. I think that is a testament to how good it really is.

@billsharko3007 Год назад

About how many hours can a guy run one of these bikes , easy trail riding before a rebuild on the motor?

@highlandcycles Год назад

150 hrs easy

@fmtnic Год назад

I've owned a 19 RR300 from new and love it more every year. It is the easiest bike in the world in really hard terrain. It's also right at home in fast terrain. I don't find mine twitchy at all.

@bobbybecker8834 Год назад

Sounds like the powervalve is turned in a bit far.. try to open that up these bikes can rio

@DerekJamesLynn 3 месяца назад

I like your content! Keep it up

@ridge_reaper_929 Год назад

Beta’s are a weapon straight up. Another ride and you won’t notice the small nuances, and the trade offs will make you faster and more technical of a rider in the end.

@helavatar Год назад

Stock pegs on Beta are not sharp and the S3 aluminum pegs need the cleats adjusted. I have ridden with both and while the S3 aluminum ones are light they do not stand up to the abuse. At some point the cleats didn't want to come out since the holes were oval. Last year installed Carapaks and I am really satisfied with these.

@dormantmenace Год назад

Try tightening up the stearing neck a bit. To were it just barely falls to the stops. Every bike I've ever owned comes with the neck to loose in my opinion.. especially bikes that want to turn in. Run a little more sag. Or slide the forks down in the clamps as far as possible.. try to change the geometry or rake essentially.. or cough up a dampner lol.

@philipsmith6152 Год назад

Great review, I had a 17 model, Great motor and gearbox, but the Nissan brakes are grabby, in a bad way, like an out-of-control way, And the front end was always washing out on tight turns. Plastics weren't great, and getting parts (AU) was terrible

@johnmerritt6670 Год назад

I had a 2019 300 Race, I bought it used and the brakes were not good. Especially the rear brake, too much slack in the clevis, which I fixed. I could never get the same feel as Brembo or the Japanese Nissin. I say Japanese Nissin because when I rebuilt the Beta rear Master cylinder the internals were weird, not the same on my previous Yamaha's. Anyway I tried everything, rotors, pads, flush fluid, rebuilt the master and the caliper. Best starting 2T hands down and that 300 motor is unbelievable. I'm screw up alot so I need those Brembo brakes. Back on a KTM.

@rochellestanley9532 Год назад

Yeah, you belong on a Beta 😎

@burstcasino Год назад

My '22 300rr re sounds exactly the same. I have the fast way back and lower pegs with a tall and soft seat. Also to run my Scotts damper I needed to run risers to get an undermount to work. The bike ran great stock but was a bit of a gas hog @ 13.5 mpg. I switched over to the Suzuki NECJ needle that I ran successfully on my '17 300rr re. It gets me a better 17.5 mpg. While I ran the "red" go fast power valve spring on my '17, the '22 is just great with stock power valve springs and the 14/48 gearing. The motor rocks. I'm still running the stock suspension but have added a bladder kit and a different compression adjuster on the Sachs shock. Never really felt any shock fade but more of a body blow thru the rear shock every now again. Thanks for the Beta content.

@eyalcr500 Год назад

Hello ! can i ask what height you are ? does the Beta only fit small professional enduro riders ???

@highlandcycles Год назад

I am 5’10”. They can fit anyone. They just have a more compact chassis.

@eyalcr500 Год назад

@@highlandcycles Thank you Sir !

@RocketRidez Год назад

@@highlandcyclesinteresting you say that. I appreciate the honestly! I actually went with Beta over Sherco for a few reasons and one for Sherco felt tighter and more compact than the Beta and I didn’t like that. I love your videos! That Beta has the same exact aftermarket plastic and graphics mine had for a little bit 😆.

Where was this ride at? Looking for single trails. Thanks….

@robm3357 Год назад

I noticed your starting out in 2nd a lot of the time….

@highlandcycles Год назад

First is super low

@csmith7693 Год назад

Your tire of choice with mousses will make a huge difference. As for the pegs, the studs will pull out with vice grips. Tap the existing holes for 5mm x 0.8mm x 12mm set screws, problem solved. It will take several rides to get accustomed to a different chassis, you've ridden the KTM type all your life. A change will feel weird at first but have no doubt, you will adapt, and like it. I clean up the bars and lose the tank cap too. It aint a cheap setup, but the Precision Engineering stabilizer combined with Twisted Engineering carbon bars is a game changer (Lance, figure out how to adapt the Mako 360 to be compatible with the Precision Engineering stabilizer). As for the engine vibes, you will only notice it when going back and forth between the Beta and KTM. You will completely forget about it and not notice at all. For me its a non issue. I'm interested to know if the jetting is as recommended in the manual. The recommend jetting is spot on at sea level.

@highlandcycles Год назад

I agree with what you said. I rode YZ’s forever and never cared about the vibes. I like it a lot. I could definitely ride one.

@colomotolife7903 5 месяцев назад

Great review. What trail system is this?

@highlandcycles 5 месяцев назад

Dry creek

@200xcBruce Год назад

Don't forget I see he might have removed the gas cap with the troublesome green check and put that huge aluminum ugly thing on. Not really fair to compare the stock suspension to your $$$$ suspension. It sounds like the Beta could use a heavier fork spring and some more flow in mid valve my Sachs needed that to feel less harsh in the small stuff.

@highlandcycles Год назад

No, its not the same has my suspoosh but it is really good in stock form. I could ride it just like it is, no problem

@davidkraft4529 Год назад

Also I just got a 2023 Beta 300 race edition and ABSOLUTELY love it. Also have to 500 rs another good bike.

@danstevens2204 Год назад

Why was the throttle upside down?

@highlandcycles Год назад

He likes to run it like that to protect the housing in a crash. I have seen it before.

@anthonypotter4126 Год назад

@thomastjg53 Год назад

Beta give him a x trainer. 👍 would like to see what he thinks about the stock suspension ?

@highlandcycles Год назад

I hate it. I’ve ridden a stock x trainer

@mattjordan585 10 месяцев назад

@highlandcycles could I ask why you hated so much? Deffinatly not looking to get one but curious as why you didn't like it? I just bought 23 300rr but injured from riding for next 9 months

@richardhartley1705 Год назад

Good fair review👍

@highlandcycles Год назад

It’s a great bike

@thomastjg53 Год назад

Nice ,would love one of these bikes. If beta would up the suspension on it , or put rr suspension on it they would sell a million of theses bikes.

@utahdesertrider1806 Год назад

What? If you want the RR suspension you can buy an RR.. how can you go wrong with KYB? They already do sell a ton of bikes. Your comment really does not make sense. If you can’t get the KYB tuned four your riding (they are awesome in stock trim) then stop riding a dirt bike. They literally cannot put better stock suspension on a bike than KYB. And if you are a regular rider like me, (see my vids) the bike has way more potential than I do. I’m a B hair scramble rider in my past life. I’m 54. Now just trying to keep riding without racking up injuries cuz I’ve had a ton

@utahdesertrider1806 Год назад

To clarify- the RR has Sachs front and rear. The Race edition has KYB front and rear

@christdiedforyou7815 Год назад

Love the video. I miss my state ❤. Moved to Texas many years ago and we just don't have the trail options that Colorado offers. Where is this at in Colorado? I need to come back. I ride a '22 Beta 200 RR and a '22 kx250x.

@specializedbighitfsr Год назад

Regarding the counter balancer and vibration, how would you rate the vibration on the beta 300 compared to something like a small bore KTM that doesn't have a counterbalancer? Such as a 150 xcw or 125xc? Thanks 😃

@highlandcycles Год назад

That is a great question. I need to ride them back to back but I would say it is a little bit more than a 125

@elvispusley3515 Год назад

Tunning the carb will takeout some of the vibes

@highlandcycles Год назад

It runs perfectly.

@scottphillips445 Год назад

You have me thinking that the 6500 kit is the best fork upgrade for the money or find someone desperately needing money with cone valves. The cone valve forks are the best for motocross. And an ohlins shock since we are entering 4-5 k !

@scottphillips445 Год назад

How good was your 2018 suspension out of the box? I Rhode a 17 XC250 and out of the box was unusually good. Air forks are a 2 stroke play bike feature although when it comes to track time the 150SX will be wearing the MX tech 4CS forks with 4.5 springs and the pro motion revalved shock. I like organized practice days because you usually get at least 1 extra moto or 2 sometimes open at end of the day to test and tune

@scottphillips445 Год назад

Does the 6500s have external spring preload adjustment?
