Our betas came with grease oozing out of all the bearings which is a first for me owning a lot of bikes

@highlandcycles 7 месяцев назад

Yeah. Stoked about that

@zachbausch5886 6 месяцев назад

I'm excited too!! because I'm looking for a 300 and this bike is on the top of my list! I was just going to say True North is my local shop!! Thats who I will be going through for sure! 😎🤙

It's the most beautiful head light ever 😂

@spatchist 7 месяцев назад

I'm not an engineer, but I do work for an Italian manufacturing company. Manufacturers don't add extra components (like an extra spark plug and coil) just for fun , unless there is some benefit - it all adds cost. From what I've seen Beta are a much more conservative manufacturer - changes come slowly, which can be a good thing.

@beverlyboys73 7 месяцев назад

Your the only one I know who would tear down a new bike. Gotta love it. Keep up the great work.

@highlandcycles 7 месяцев назад

Thanks, will do!

@timturner4092 7 месяцев назад

Heck yeah Beta been stepping their game up and i'd like that blue part for the map switch

@highlandcycles 7 месяцев назад

Oh. You want that thing? Email me morgan@highland-cycles.com

@jimn7279 7 месяцев назад

Nice! Yay new bike!! Look forward to the upcoming videos.. As far as the map switch…ditch the silly blue plastic tank cover thing and use a piece of 3m vhb double sided tape and stick it to the frame in the same location…makes tank removal easier.

@highlandcycles 7 месяцев назад

It’s gone already

@davidanderson2393 7 месяцев назад

Pretty interesting with the dual plugs, haven't seen that on a dirt bike since the 70's , I have been wanting to drop by True North and check out their shop. They are located about 20 miles from me and half way between where I normally ride up in Shelton Wa., Beta looks good so far, nothing like that new bike smell.

@outfitr9703 7 месяцев назад

Wow way to go through it! I would have just thrown some premix in and rode it. 😅. I'll bet your gonna really like it.

Nice,Im glad it has grease in it ,my 23 yz250x had to completly take apart and put waterproof grease in it.waiting for demo day to ride before buying one,great to see you doing what i always do,great winter project ,good luck.

@burstcasino 7 месяцев назад

18:39 Get the IMS mode switch bracket and run it on the handlebar. That tank location blows. I switch mine all the time while racing enduros. It comes stock with the larger IMS tank but they sold me one separately for my 300rr re. Makes taking the tank off much less a hassle. I keep the blue shield and just redo the drain hose into the same frame zip tie that holds the power valve splooge hose. Easy peasy...

@delcotrailriders6738 7 месяцев назад

Excited to sse what you do to this bike and your riding impressions. I have a 2012 Beta 498 and the last Beta 300 I rode was a 2013. I'm going on a local beta Demo days because I'm thinking of getting another 300 (had a 2005 KTM 300EXC).

I just got mine yesterday, I quite like the headlight. The weird air vent in it is odd, but whatever. Also both of mine were very well greased, I think that may just be the way it is now.

@stubabyfuora5280 7 месяцев назад

Well as an engineer, I dont have a clue, but my other hobby is ultralight aircraft and the are using two plugs as a reliability concern. My guess is it has something to do with that as well. But my ktm plug never fouls but I guess some do foul and they hard to get to.

@williamcrotts7054 7 месяцев назад

Not only that you could pull one plug and put in a compression release. Better throw a fan on that puppy, they get hot.

@highlandcycles 7 месяцев назад

Coming

@WithoutCertainty 7 месяцев назад

Nice ride. I'll be curious to see the ride review, and the testing results on the head. 🤘 Two questions: Could you clamp the hose on the radiator, then slip the hose into the frame? The Rad guards don't seem to protect the sides of the radiators?

@highlandcycles 7 месяцев назад

You might be able to do that with the hose but you’d still have to get it on the other radiator. The radiator guards don’t go over the edge but they provide protection because they stiffen everything up. I have used them on every bike of mine for over 10 years and they are amazing

@vsekvsek 7 месяцев назад

supposedly you can limp back if one plug fouls. What my dealer said about two spark plugs

@jayredhead3777 6 месяцев назад

Instead of the second plug , do what they did back in the day and add a compression release? Lol

@MrPindie 7 месяцев назад

I’ll be interested to see how you like the stock alloy pegs. I found them slippery and a waste of time. The steel version on the standard model are better and a good swap. Great to Beta have sorted the steering lock.

@highlandcycles 7 месяцев назад

Yeah. They just look slippery to me. I have carapaks stainless pegs to put on.

Plug arrangement is interesting, I have some theories about that, but no real engineering or data to back up my thoughts. I wouldn’t be surprised if both the dual plug head and tamper resistant bolt are for euro emissions.

@richardhartley7094 7 месяцев назад

@@highlandcycles That’s the most straight to the point answer I have had thank you👍👍

@johngarcia206 7 месяцев назад

Ditch the green cap on bottom of gas cap. It'll vapor lock.... or hopefully just fall off in your tank. And ditch the stock tires they're stiff and suck.

@highlandcycles 7 месяцев назад

I did that.

@GATOROC1 7 месяцев назад

I had literally less than one hour on my '24 300 RE and went to remove the green piece, but it was already gone! I tried looking for it in the tank but didn't see it, so I will be removing the tank and fishing it out soon. I've been looking for a Free Flo breather tube, but they seem to be out of stock everywhere.

@johngarcia206 7 месяцев назад

It's possible your dealer was smart enough to remove it for you.

@GATOROC1 7 месяцев назад

@@johngarcia206 That's possible, but if they did, they forgot to remove the o-ring as well. I'll find out here pretty soon when I remove the tank to install the fan kit and rad guards.

Why do people remove the thermostat on their bikes? I’m intrigued to know the science behind it, I know it’s popular to do but unsure why?

@stevedouglas1654 7 месяцев назад

@lucasmonks5767 7 месяцев назад

I took out my thermostat in my car it caused it to boil and get hot 🔥
