CORROSION CAN CAUSE OIL PUMP FAILURE! Beta released an inspection notice Dec 2021 to dealers to check the ECU/CDI plug and pins for corrosion and also the ground strap to frame under tank for paint impeding good contact. Both can be responsible for oil injection failure and service or engine light won’t come on to warn of failure. A lot of brand new 2022 models are having problems. See this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l4YgP7lw3JQ.html Monitor your bike carefully and insist that Beta fixes any issues. These problems have gone on for too long. KICKSTART ISSUE FOR SOME 2021 MODELS! Quite a few guys are starting up their new bikes and quickly getting a crunch then the bike locks up. It's a problem Beta is a aware of, and probably a lack of proper heat treatment on the ring gear for the starter. Take it straight to the dealer for a warranty claim, don't attempt to start the bike!

In the latest case, a 2021 Beta main bearing failed at 25 hours. The dealer tried to get out of the warranty claim by saying the bearing was slightly rusted, but the owner stuck to his guns and said the bike had never been drowned and only a faulty seal could have let in water. There is only a very small number of 2021 cases coming in so far so what the cause or causes have been over the past three years it looks as though the issue has mostly been solved. CARB WATERPROOFING: Use self-amalgamating tape around the throttle boot over the carburetor. This will not only stop it popping off as you can see in one of our earlier vids, but will also waterproof it properly.
My daughter's x trainer lost the main bearing at 35 hrs, beta did a complete overhaul top to bottom at no charge to us. My 300 race got a pin hole in the seal between gearbox and crankcase started burning gear oil. Have you heard of that before? My dealer did a full inspection and found nothing that should have broken the seal. Did a complete overhaul and was able to get it warranty from beta at 105hrs! My opinion, if beta will stand behind the product that well I'll keep buying!!
Never heard of that seal failing, Brent. There were issues with coolant leaks for a few years though. Beta USA have provided great support, but it has varied from passable to horrible in other countries. 😢
@@crosstrainingenduro hopefully Beta will get other countries up to the same support I've had. I hate to see a good thing go bad over factory/dealer support. I'm now knocking on 225 hours and running better than ever. On the dielectric grease, I do that on every bike regardless. It's cheap insurance on connections issues.
21 200rr..my first Beta. 57 years old and I can't believe how much I like this bike. It can rip without tearing my arms off, yet lug. Very easy to ride. I still have a Husqvarna TE300I and it's great, but it seems like I gravitate towards the Beta more often.
They are superb engines, and the great news is they are sticking with the carbs for the immediate future too. I just hope they really did fix the main bearing issue during the 2020 production run... fingers crossed.
RR200 is a great bike. It's easy to ride on the pipe and it builds confidence. Enough low end grunt to rectify some riding mistakes but not too much to get you into trouble. No regrets here on the 200 RR! There are some lunatics that ride hard enduro on 125s so 200 should be more than capable.
2020 200rr. Just a great all around by bike for me. I'm 150lb.+/- and this bike does great for me. Currently running a hair scramble series with it and it's holding up great! About 65hrs on it currently.
I've owned a few Ducatis (and Betas) over the years and apparently Beta decided to pay homage to the their fellow Italians by adopting Ducatis quality control values from the 1980s..
I've spoken with heaps of Beta dealers and they will quietly just shake their heads and say why doesn't Beta just slap their factory workers around the head when they mess up? The good dealers are going over each bike and fixing all the mistakes like poor routing of wiring, missing bolts and parts, bolts that are hand loose. Most of it is small stuff but they should be doing much much better than this by now! These are great bikes, and deserve much better than this.
Got a 22 200 racing and love it! Came from a 300 tpi definitely glad I gave the beta a chance. No regrets at all … the steering lock or lack of it takes abit of getting use to but that is all such a fun bike to ride that is very capable.
I got my 2020 200rr in February and have logged about 1,000 miles. I absolutely LOVE this bike. It's so much more fun, flickable and manageable than my previous KTM 300. Yet still plenty of power! I can hang with 300 riders of my skill level. Issues I had to sort: adjusterd float, looped vent hoses (can now go 55 miles to reserve), got a new Speedo cable (warranty). Wiring didn't have problems, but dealer replaced wiring harness (recall) on right side under gas tank. This bikes fun level is off the charts! Incredible how much low end lug it has!
Have a 2019 200rr now with 105hrs, runs like a dream , always starts first crack, hauls like a tractor up hills. Spooge means there’s oil in the engine. Only non issue is Speedo cable failure, I can see how fast I’m going. Mates 300 just had a bearing failure at 150hrs, the classic dry left hand side. The only observed and measured variance to spec was the width of the crank being -1mm. Good to know if anyone else has observed the same on a bearing failure.
There are a few long forum threads where guys compare notes and look at tolerances etc. Without precise info coming from the factory it's been hard to define the exact problem(s) causing the failures. 🤔
I've got a 2021 200rr, amazing piece of kit! Having come from a Husky te300i 19 (which seized up, along with another Ktm 300 tpi 18 ive owned) I feel it has plenty of power and much more controllable in the tight & twistys! And yes, they still do leak exhaust spooge!
ELECTRIC START PROBLEMS FROM NEW? Quite a few guys are starting up their new bikes and quickly getting a crunch then the bike locks up.

There is literally no excuse at this point for these issues. Every year they have a slew of QC problems that kill confidence in an otherwise really nice setup.
Possibly some of the problem is because they are still essentially a family business and they haven't developed effective ways to get feedback from distributors, dealers and owners, then rapidly respond to known issues. While the majority of riders love their bikes and have no problems, it is increasingly unacceptable that certain problems persist and can take years for the factory to finally fix (or in the case of exhaust joins leaking spooge... never). If the situation doesn't improve in 2021 I'll certainly be looking elsewhere for my next bike.
@@crosstrainingenduro Simply looking at where their warranty dollars went would cover it. I had a 17 250rr. 3 trips in for an oil pump that did not work at all (ECU), 300 dollars to have my destroyed sachs tubes coated and rebuilt, 2 computers and various harness issues. I sold the bike for another brand with less features but none of the reliability issues. That sad part is that it would have been a great bike for some seemingly minor bug fixes that made you worry about your rides vs. enjoying them. Keep up the good work, stay safe, much love from the States.
That is a bad run. 😢 I know plenty of Beta dealers and distributors are unhappy with me calling Beta out about their known issues, but they are lucky I wasn't even aware of the ridiculous problems they had with crap anodizing on their forks for years... or coolant leaks etc. Fundamentally their bikes are great, they just need to get their shit together and apply the quality control these bikes deserve.
There's no excuse, but every company has them. Buy the bike you think will work for you, then sink more money in it and learn it's flaws. That's what we all do. My 19' 150XCW is perfect example of this.
They are Italian, you can't have Italian bike without problems, ehm, I mean, character. They do need some love from the owner, but they are designed with love as well and it shows.
Just picked up a 2024 200rr, US model. Still spooging out the exhaust joint. Lol Only have 1.5 hours on it at the moment. Seems really rich, changing jets today. I'm at sea level. I did go through the plugs to add dialectic grease but every plug was coated. Not sure if dealer or from factory. OI pump tube has been secured nicely and no rubbing spots. I didn't get the upgraded radiator for tighter turning. That's a bummer. Or the upgraded seat. Bike is great, and looks sharp! Got back into riding 3 years ago. Was on an older crf250x. Wanted something with low end grunt and this Def has it. Suspension is still stiff but looks like I need more hours before it sets in. Speedo cable issue I had was that it came unplugged. Took a second to correct the issue. Love hearing it sing.
Not sure on the current setup, but in the past the European jetting was way way too rich here in Australia. Most dealers fixed it before selling which was handy.
Love my 19' 125 RR Racing Edition! So much more fun than the 250-300 class 4t's. Plus it's lighter, cheaper, easier to maintain, sounds cooler and smells better.
Just curious, which four strokes in that bracket have you ridden? I picked up a ‘15 WR250F a few months ago so not planning on upgrading anytime soon but am interested in trying a smaller two stroke sometime
@@jackfeltham8966 kawi 250f, zook rmz, Sherco 300SEF. Not a ton.. but just swinging a leg over a 125x in the showroom will feel about 35lbs lighter (Because it is). The 2t's also carry the weight lower, making them feel more lively in my opinion.
Great to hear that most of these issues are not detremental and are few and far between. I'd like to "positively" report that I have a 2020 Beta 300RR comming up to 30 hours and the only issue I've found so far is that I'm addicted to it lol. My dealer in Cairns, Far North QLD (Bits For Bikes) made sure everything was adjusted and set up correctly ie. wiring, carb, and bolt tensions, prior to delivery. It has ran flawlessly ever since my first ride and I would highly recommend to anybody.
For my wires by the triple clamps I use flexible plastic wiring sheath. To wrap around any potential rub areas. It’s basically a stiff yet flexible plastic tube in various diameters with a slit down one side. Cut to length with scissors, position over the area of concern, and put in place with a couple wraps of electrical tape. They also sell heat resistant flavors. It has a grey stripe down one side.
I have a 2022 200rr race edition and I love it so far! About 15 hrs on the motor so far. Definitely glad I went with Beta and the 200cc engine can just about do it all😁
I love my 200rr, the only issue I had was crossing deep creeks and water getting into the airbox and killing the motor. I fixed it with a spare duck bill off a Ducati 998 off the end of the airbox drain tube.
I loved my ktm 200exc back in the day. James Dean helped me jet it for smooth linear power delivery on the forums before he even started JD Jetting. The Marzocchi forks sucked which I modded myself and the pds rear shock wasn't great either back then. For all it's faults I still have fond memories and I sold it for way more than I brought it for...
114hrs now with my 2020 300rr and trouble free bar the speedo, I done nothing about it and just left it not working. I actually forgot about the spooge thing and do not have an issue with it on the 20 but I did with every other model I had. Took me far longer to gel with the 20 frame as I really liked the previous frame gen having had it on bikes from 2013+
Great info Barry, cheers I miss the 200class, other manufactures need to get onboard, many would be better off and have more fun in the bush. RR 200 ISSUES: I don’t have one yet in the garage🤣 & when you say Double R is sounds like WR 🤪 Also see new Leatt lineup has come out and all new 8.5 composite and 9.5 carbon model Helmet I asked if they had sorted the pins, they said yes, we’ll see, looks pretty slick I must say. 🤘.
I wonder if they actually did anything about those rusting parts on their Chinese made helmets, there's no mention of it in their features section: www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/leatt-moto-85-composite-v211-helmet
Ridden the kdx200 and kdx220 extensively. Recently went on a 3 hour ride on a beta 200rr. It was perfection! riding threw tight single track threw the trees with the occational steep hill climb it was completely glorious. A true perfectly refined version of the kdx. other two riders on a beta 300rr and gasgas ec300. they were both having trouble with traction and stamina compared to the 200. at the end of the ride i felt just cherry and full of energy ready to keep going but they were beat! (both highly experienced riders)
Great timing with this vid. No.1 on the bucketlist. Looking at trying a 2 stroke after a te511. If only there was a 2021 in Australia to test ride. Everything sold before it gets iff the boat!! Always informative. Thanks.
My beta dealer did a fantastic job at of taking care of known issues before delivery of my 2020 xtrainer. I did run in to a speedometer pick up issue but had a new one in a few days and it was an easy replacement and my display did reset on me once but has been fine since. My biggest issue has been spark plug replacement, only available through beta, takes 2 weeks for shipment, and is $30
Great to hear, Eric! Same here, my Beta dealer is passionate about his job and spends a lot of time checking then fixing those known issues from the factory. It's a pity the factory doesn't tighten up on their quality control... or at the very least issue service bulletins to their distributors/dealers about things that will need to be fixed in pre-delivery (as other brands do).
I love my rr200 '19. I bought it with 30 hours from the dealer. It now has about 100hrs and i had no issus that weren' t caused by myself. At around 80hrs i changed the piston Scince it Was double of the recomended time. The old piston still looked good in my opinion. IT is the most fun bike for beginners i think because IT is easy to handle and once you get better the bike still wont limit you. It is very easy to find grip and train your clutching and you will progress fast. Im Not shure if it is true but i feel that the pipe sits a little lower than the one of the bigger RRs.
2020 Beta 300 RR owner here, bought in Nov 2019. Got the faulty speedo cable replaced under warranty early on. Also got the coolant hose problem early on and got it fixed. Exhaust splooge problem check. And now 2 weeks ago at 52 hours got the main bearing failure. Luckily it did not destroy the whole engine and was fixed quickly and for free under warranty. Love the bike when I ride but for a new bike and first time trying Beta all these problems on a new bike is disappointing. I hope after all these fixes the bike will be good now for some time...
@@crosstrainingenduro my coolant hose was rubbing with the pipe and started leaking. I guess it was installed wrong from the factory? There’s very little clearance there.
Probably just poor assembly in the factory. Dealers regularly tell me they have to go over the entire bike to check for loose, overly tight or even missing bolts occasionally. And ensure electrics are routed correctly, hoses are clamped etc.
Did a Demo Ride on the 200 and it was a riot. E-Start that the 125 doesn't get, and so much fun to keep it on the pipe all the time. Light, nimble, and still has decent jam for hills. As far as reliability of the big bikes I have a 2015 250RR and it has been solid. It did have the main bearings go, but only after several hundred hours, and it had been watered out a few times. Changed them out myself (not that hard if you have the tools) and it's been fine ever since. I have had less issues than a lot of other euro brand owners I know.
Good to hear. There are definitely plenty of happy Beta riders out there... and in our group too. One of our guys had the crappy wiring loom replaced on his 2020 RR300. Another guy had to get the crappy anodizing on the forks redone. And apart from my 2019 Beta speedo playing up that's been it. No main bearing failures yet, touch wood.
I don't own a 200rr but Beta lent me one earlier this year. Really fun bike, feels light and has just enough grunt. Not a huge fan of the forks and the turning radius is not good in full lock situations. Looks like Beta is offering a 200rr race edition for 2021.
I own a 1996 Yamaha dt200r modified and set up for enduro event though it was designed in 1988 its still a heap of fun and goes everywhere all the expensive modern bikes go and after owning it for 2.5 years it’s only cost $2500 aud all up including mods and buying the bike you have to work the clutch a lot to get up hills as it doesn’t Really have any power below 5500rpm and at 6000 the power band come on and wants to got to 11000 rpm in the blink of and eye but I love the bike it’s so much fun and plenty of power for me and 99% of people. Love 200s but hopefully I’ll be getting a beta 300rr but the dt has helped my clutch control a lot
So good to see these old trail bikes still in use, we'd love to buy one and film it regularly just to show it's more about the rider than the bike! But the prices have jumped so much since Covid... 😢
@@crosstrainingenduro yeah used bikes have sky rocketed in the last few months I recently got my self a trials bike and the prices on them have doubled. And my dad still rides his 1981 pe175 and he loves it.
There isn't any reason I wouldn't suggest this bike to anyone. Amateur or veteran ride. So light, so user friendly, enough power, and every gear has a purpose. By the way, Beta is doing warranty recalls on wiring harness and speedo. One thing, rejet for lower sea level altitudes. It is way too rich. I went 42/158 and got my bottom end back and it is much snappier. I'll update after this weekends hill climbs.
Damn... an actual recall? It must be bad as this is the first one I've ever heard of. I assume it's a voluntary recall? And did you have a link to Beta's information about it? I might put a link in the vid...
@@crosstrainingenduro they are replacing a simple strain relief/cord grip behind the number plate on the right side because it was small enough that they were concerned it could damage the wires. While there hasn't been any claims here, they are replacing the harness as well. I call that good support. I don't have a link, but my dealer told me he had the harness in and it needed fixed.
99 Yamaha DT200R was a ripper bike bulletproof rode the thing everywhere even in the city road legal full fmf & jetted. If you like riding on the pipe 200cc is the goods in the woods!
The old Yamaha 230 was apparently great too... that new GPX bike from China uses the same engine. Not sure if they legally bought the rights to it though.
@@crosstrainingenduro Yes I think the WR & DT200R had a similar engine bulletproof & reliable. Got lucky on the 1999 DT200R only 3,000 ks on it was barely ridden back in 2014 rode the socks off it everywhere what a bike. Sold it at 19,000 ks only changed oil, filter & spark plug.. Was still kicking along 🤣 The old 2stroke feeling 👌
REALLY wish Yamaha would have kept updating the WR200. The GPXTSE250R is the closest to that currently, using the heavy flywheel DT230 Lanza engine that they bought the tooling rights from. Not a screamer but grunty and reliable
Im enjoying my 21 Beta 200 but confirm the eletrical problems (speedometer reset and kill switch ocasional mal function) . Also had to deal with the oil splater in the exhaust junction. Portugal dealer isnt colaborating after 6 months of complaining. Too bad. Would like to remain in the brand comunity.
It can be tough on dealers if they deal with multiple cases over the years, but then providing customer service is part of the job. If a particular brand has too many issues it makes sense to just change brands, not offer less customer service. The engine bearing failures have been an issue as Beta doesn't fully reimburse the dealers for warranty claims... they pay five hours labour when it usually takes longer, and won't pay for replacement fluids.
2021 Beta 250 rr owner speaking here. I just picked the bike up on October 6 and i’ve road it almost every other day. I have about 7 hours on it so far. Here are some of the problems i’ve had so far: speedo keeps resetting, black splouge leaking, front fork guard rubbing on the stantions, and coolant leaking from somewhere around the head. To solve there i zip tied the rubber joint between the pipes, that didn’t work. For the speedo i changed the battery, that didn’t solve anything. For the coolant, i’m taking it to the dealer. It could be loose hoses but I want to be sure and have them look over the entire bike. Has anyone else had these problems with the 2021’s? (edit) I would just like to point out that I am in no way dragging on Beta. I’m absolutely thrilled with the bike and simply love it. The dealer is fantastic and very friendly as well when it comes to any questions or concerns.
Bummer. There were coolant leak issues a few years ago, I can't remember the exact cause. But I thought they had fixed it. Hopefully it will run well once all is fixed...
My 20 300rr had a coolant leak and it was due to a loose clip when the bike was a few hours old. Fuel tap side, hose above cylinder head was the issue. I just reseated the pipe and tightened up the clip. Dealer will solve the speedo for you Spooge is 2 black cable ties on the rubber connector, it. Needs a tighter fitment. With the forks, I run a 47 showa setup. I use a heavy duty cable tie around the fork for the guards to slide on, been doing this on all my bikes as a precaution. You can buy am skf plastic collar for the beta that is like the ktm fork slider protectors if you want.
@@mxdave thanks so much for the tips! Im pretty i solved the coolant leaks by tightening all the hoses down today. The dealer just send the warranty claim in for the speedo as well. For the splouge im going to use silicone on the joint along with the zip ties. I heard a few things about the cable ties on the forks so i’ll have to give them a shot.
Great channel Barry. Thanks for the entertainment and info. Hillarious intros/texts. I have 16 hours on my 2021 200rr now and at least half of that is tight technical single track. Coming from husqvarna 4 strokes (fe250 and 350), i can ride this bike much longer before fatigue sets-in. It handles well, feels extremely light and the throttle is very responsive. Drinks fuel and fouls plugs quickly but, hoping a smaller pilot jet and lower needle position will resolve that issue. Planning to replace 49 tooth rear sprocket with 52 (if i can find one) to make 2nd and 3rd more useable. Handlebars not the strongest and rear tire not great in the slick and gnarly. Otherwise, no issues yet. Speedo works better than the trailtech on 2019 husqvarna. Overall, the bike is awesome! Hope it stays that way.
Wish there were more dealers in the US. Too many orange boys on the trails. Not that the kato's are bad at all but they're high and there are some advantages to the Betas. Just like to see more variety.
Many of us feel the same way, Keith. KTM has become a huge multinational company that is attempting to dominate the market by buying up other brands, and the increasing focus on profit above all else already appears to be problem with KTM making quite a few models in India and China now. 😢 There's a fair chance my next bike will be the Rieju (the old Gas Gas brand before KTM killed it lol).
Me too! I ride a ktm but only because it works for what I do. I want to see sherco and beta take on this 250/300 two stroke market. Even better if yamaha would e start the yz250x and get in there.
@@crosstrainingenduro ive ridden a stock yz250x for a short time and it seems really good.... I know some think e start is blasphemy but i love it... Riding hard enduro stuff we struggle with anyway- theres alot of start/stop and its just more enjoyable to hit a button and go (and have fan kit). It would not take much to make me go blue. That being said i had two buddies that put 300 kits in those 250x bikes and it was so wrong... The power was like old school blast and just rank. They hated it and so did everyone else that rode them.
@@crosstrainingenduro Absolutely! Just give me an electric start and throw a wr 6 speed in or something. I would bet money that would be the most sold bike for that year.
@@crosstrainingenduro Yes they did but the second time he had to 'push' the dealer to repair it. This was mostly his reason to sell it! A total of 38hrs and two rebuilds isn't good! Finger crossed for my 2019 Xtrainer!
Not surprised, Alan. If this was in the UK I have heard plenty of horror stories about lack of support from the Beta distributor there... and of course that leaves dealers in the lurch and not wanting to fix the bikes at their own expense. Thankfully Beta USA have been outstanding in their support. In Australia we've had mixed experiences, but nowadays most guys are getting proper warranty fixes (at least up to 90 hours).
Oh man, I still miss my 1996 KDX200 I sold last year. I still think a 200cc 2-stroke is the best bike for most riders who ride normal enduro, especially here in Europe. Would be nice to see some comparisons between the Beta, Gas Gas and KTM 200 bikes. I know the Gas Gas is very, very highly regarded against the KTM with those who've owned both.
For as long as I can remember, European manufacturers have had problems in their bikes. I wish Yamaha would bring us properly 2 stroke enduro line, Their reliability is superb! First class!!! Perfect engineering!! Is anyone here know how their 20/21 wr250f in hard enduro ,compared to the Europeans??? I prefer moving from 2 stroke to 4 stroke if it's means no problems anymore ,but only if this wr250f is worthy enough!!!
These are the reasons why I am trying to sell Beta. Overall great bike, but the electrics and main bearing failures..(rr250 2018). It really is a bummer, that this happens even in the new models. Never heard of this issue on other bikes. BETA is a big dissapointment for me! Wouldnt reccomend byuing it!
If you dig deep enough you uncover known issues with every brand. Main bearing failures? Quite a few years ago KTM and Gas Gas had issues with this (but unlike Beta they fixed it quickly). As an example, I looked at some of KTM's big mistakes and recalls recently. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kxCHcoHEEBA.html
I was going to by a 2020 300 rr. But c19 put a stop to that. I hope to get a 2021 300rr soon. This video has been very useful. THANK YOU. I will be checking everything this list. I need to get a new helmet and was looking at a fly formula. Do you have any opinion on fly helmets.
Pretty sure the have.. i already checked them... also some reviews..but i double them a little..because i have in mind someone from Beta mentieond that as of 2020 with the New frames bikes are getting bigger/higher/taller
and when you get better you will find that it is lacking in power, its heavy, and the suspension complete trash. Great beginner bike, but it is not anywhere near the same caliber as a higher end Enduro 2 stroke.
Not for everyone though. It depends what sort of riding you want to do. How serious do you want to get. And your height! Why go for a full enduro bike if you can't touch the ground? Also the CRF230F is barely heavier than a 300 two stroke... 112kg with a full tank. Only 2kg more than most 300s with a full tank.
Can you comment on how the 200rr compared to the GasGas (now Rieju) Ranger? Which would be better for covering everything from the faster stuff to the slow gnarly stuff?
Are these main bearing failures covered under warranty? hopefully they are updated. a buddy test rode a new 300 and said it felt like a great hard enduro setup. I would be so ticked off paying lots of money for weedeater technology only to have it fail. Thats why im riding an older carb model KTM with pds and open chamber forks. Not fancy but good for a simpleton like myself.
See our vid 'Beta's response to main bearing failures', Alan. Fingers crossed the issue was fixed at some point during the 2020 production run... time will tell. The Betas actually are great bikes, but the factory's slow patchy response to the main bearing failures has been terrible.
@@crosstrainingenduro I would just like to ensure I understand this correctly. First off, I can't tell you how much I appreciate the attentive responsiveness from you in the comment section, so many RU-vidrs don't do that. Thank you. Is this particular comment to suggest that the list of things to check, featured in this video as it concerns the 2T, should also be checked on all their 4T models (except for the carburetor issues of course)?
Have you tried the 125 ? That engine is seriously linear and grunty so I am not sure what you mean at the start of the video. I also have a exc125 and they are worlds appart in terms of powerdelivery. Down side of this is that the Beta is a vibro even compared to a 2004 Ktm. Speedos are shit on the Beta, accessing your carb is a royal pain in the ass too. And my 2019 125 RR Race is spooging real bad and often give a lot of trouble starting when not used for a few weeks. User manual doesn't give a jetting table like KTM provides which is a shame.
As per the video Erwan, much of the footage was on the RR125 because I accidentally deleted a lot of the RR200 footage I filmed, doh. See our RR125 review...
@@crosstrainingenduro I know dang it I keep meaning to do that supporter thing! If I have any money left over after the divorce I’ll throw it your way lol!
Where do I start? They don't make a suitable two stroke. Most bikes don't have a sixth gear. Hydraulic clutch. They are too heavy for what we do. And it's a fallacy that European bikes break when ridden hard, that's really just a hangover from the last century when European bikes performed great but weren't very reliable. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RlEFvoqEtT4.html
