2023 Beta Xtrainer: pre-ride prep, installing AXP, P3 and Cycra armor...then off to the trails! 

I’m really liking it so far. Weather has been garbage here so I only have about 4hrs on it so far but the smaller size makes it so maneuverable for me being 5’8”. Can’t wait to get more seat time this weekend.

Thank you! That’s an excellent point and another reason to like Beta. I’m still very satisfied with that bike after owning it for over a year now. Such an awesome woods bike that’s been stone axe reliable.

@@Garage2Trail I wish there was a dealer here in Virginia!!!

@alexdesamsonow822 I’m lucky to have a couple dealers within an hour of me in PA. Both put on demo rides too.

I’ve been considering tubliss. Did you change the jetting with the pipe? Thanks for the heads up!

@@Garage2Trail No im still using stock jetting with the pipe and it runs great.

I agree…aside from the electric connectors not having enough grease on them, everything else was good. The rest was stuff that was missed would have been the dealer.

The seat is def not as comfortable as my XR lol. The suspension I haven’t really noticed but it’s been working good for me so far over the roots and creeks that I ride. On the soft side for sure but I’m not riding high speeds trails very long to really notice if it’s harsh on sharp hits yet. The motor is amazing and tuned just right for my style of riding. I’m riding this thing like a 4 stroke and it lugs and tractors along without clutch but pulls up top too. It’s so flickable and doesn’t tire me out allowing me to just float over obstacles. I only have 3.5hrs on her so I still have much to learn and adapt to yet.

I just ordered the seat concept comfort seat the 2x4 stocker I had enough of after 2 years 😃

My friend runs that seat! Much more comfortable than the stock one

@@davet3947 Props to you for going two years with the stock seat. My boyfriend and I have 2023 betas and I’m sooooo ready for a new seat after 500 miles.

I paid just under $10k after taxes and fees.

@@Garage2Trail Waaat these are 7k in EU. Bought one just cuz i didnt want to wait months for a Japanese bike. Seem to be the opposite in the US. EU bikes here are cheaper and u get it the same day but a Japanese are impossible to get if u dont want to spend months of waiting 😅

They all holding up well for you too?

Thank you! You’ll love that bike. I’m a year and a half into mine and it’s an awesome motorcycle.

@@Garage2Trail have you done anything with the suspension or ots been good?

@@OdysseyOffroad I’ve only messed with the clickers a bit to slow the rebound down. It is softly sprung, but that suits 80% of the riding I do so I didn’t feel the need for a revalve just yet.

Almost but not fully flat footed. I can easily get both feet to touch the ground at the same time however

Yeah your bud is probably right as I don’t think the XT would like to be on the road very long. I only have back roads that I hit to get from trail to trail and I usually just cruise in 45. If feel like I’m wringing it out going over 50. That’s just me though. It will do faster speeds for sure but it would be screaming I would think without a sprocket change.

Thanks! And that’s a good idea too. Luckily I was able to put two zip ties on the rubber joint and tighten them up to the point that none of that spooge got out. I’ll keep that in mind though too!

Thanks yeah the plastic isn’t the most flexible and a tree must have snagged it. My friend is on the same bike. ‘23 Xtrainer. His was the one I rode that sold me on it. I do plan on leaving the pump on but I’ll keep an eye on it and filled. I like being able to pull up to the gas station and just fill up.

The mirror is actually a cheap tusk universal and I haven’t mounted turn signals yet lol.

@@Garage2Trail About the only good part of New Jersey living is NO INSPECTION for bikes I just plated it and rolled on, now finding more riding areas well thats a different story all together:)

Believe it or not the torque is pretty close. These Xtrainers are specifically tuned for low end grunt and it’s got tractor like power delivery down low much like an XR which is what made me want one instantly. Add in the lightweight and I call it a 2 stroke XR400 with more top end lol. Nothing will ever beat the XR however for comfort and never having to worry about reliability. I only have 4hrs on my XT so far but they have a good track record for reliability from what I’ve gathered too.

Thank you! 🍻

Awesome! Glad it helped. On the road it’s definitely not a highway bike as it gets a bit “buzzy” over 55. It likes to cruise at 45 in 6th gear. It works perfectly fine for getting from trail to trail but I wouldn’t use it as a true dual sport for more road miles unless I geared it up a bit. That would take away a bit from its crawling capabilities however.

Yeah it did. Headlight/number plate was already on but I did have to put the wheel stickers on. Dealer said they normally don’t and give the option to the buyer.

I actually got a number plate and a headlight plate? I don’t know if I was supposed to??? Oh well I figured I’d bugger the wheel stickers the first pinch flat so I didn’t bother 😁

Good idea!

Thanks for watching and I’m glad it helped! Mine says that too for a second or two at startup and the light comes on for a bit too and goes out. My friends XT does the same too

@@Garage2Trail thanks for letting me know i just didnt think i saw it the few first times by the way im finding the xtrail a pleasure to ride so far i think im going to try the heavier fork oil i will let you know what i think

Sounds good! Please keep me posted how that works for you

Thanks! That’s surprising because PA is normally the pain in the ass state for stuff like that. So even from the dealer, if they register and plate it, it’s not doable in NY? I got this one done at the dealer before I even picked it up.

When the bike is new if the manufacturer has printed on the Certificate of Origin Off Road Use Only then NY will not let you change that. In Pa. if you add a lighting kit, horn and DOT tires and have a Pa. licensed Inspection station state that it is Road Legal then the Notary can Title it as Road Legal. A Pa. dealership can do that but a NY one can't. At least that's the way it was when I was a dealer in NY.@@Garage2Trail

That’s a bummer.

I'd check with 3 Seas just to confirm. It's been awhile since I had a dealership in NY@@Garage2Trail

Awesome glad to help! I would contact 3 Seas Recreation. The place I got it from (shopbetausa.com Aka Sierra) were pretty bad with customer service and took forever. Anything else I order will be from 3 Seas or my local dealer.

And forgot to say that I love the AXP skid plate. Slides over logs very easy

Great, that's where I got mine too!

Where did you end up with your suspension setting?

Is yours a ‘23 as well?

@@Garage2Trail ..yep

Weird…wonder if they are slightly different for earlier models and maybe they sent you the wrong ones?

@@Garage2Trail ..what wad happening was,the block was moving the wiring harness over,so the tank wouldn't sit down right

Ordered them from 3 Seas and they shipped them to me.

Thank you so much for that! Glad to hear people are enjoying these and I’m on the right track. Very much appreciated!

Good taste!

@@Garage2Trail, tnx 😅

@@Garage2Trail, is this 1.5 turbo, 4 valve, 132 kw?

@@dejandezman6139 yeah it’s the 2020 Si model. I love it!

Thanks man, yeah the exposed frame gives a sleeker look I think

😂 I’ll remember for next time!

Lol. I noticed the same thing!

@@WesleyBrace it must be my Pittsburgh accent lol
