Welcome back! You know I've been patiently waiting for new content from you.

Where did you get the propane bottle holder / strap??

Good review, thanks!

Nice bike! How many hours did you end up putting on the 2017? Any reliability issues? How many hours? Done any top ends? Thanks!

Use a JIS screwdriver (Japanese Industrial Standard) . Fits and protects carb screw heads.

Thanks for the video. Been mulling over doing this myself. For the part where you wired up the harness (pre dip switch monologue), is this instead of using the pre made harness Crutchfield offer?

Disagree with indestructible Mako360. When I ran them, the shark bite would actually "bite" through the rubber polymer and go metal to metal. Deforming it. Have about 260hrs on my Flex bars and zero issues.

I just picked up a 2023 beta 300 race and am setting it up for hard enduro, your video was SUPER helpful. I can see on the radiator guards you shaved some out so you could get the steeper steering radius. Did you remove the nuts from the steering stop bolts? Thanks!

Hey XLR8 i see you liked my last comment. I’m hoping u might have some insight..I’ve removed my passenger seat and the aribag code is up…can i use one of those airbag sims for the seat? Tahnks

I removed my rails over the weekend….pain in the ass..but worth it, i hope!. I’ll getting the airbag sims….really appreciate the video!

I don’t have those lines for me to put the plugs in . Would it be because I have a different engine?? I have the 7.4 liter engine 454

Pkw 38 mm carburetor is the s*** I don't know why you guys are messing with this f****** thing but the pkw 38 mm is the way it should be those carburetors are the stuff just understand how the jetting is and it will work forever TM motorcycles come stock with this carburetor which is a very good carburetor it's as good as a bing carburetor which were on makers and husqvarna's back in the day those carburetors were very well thought out they did not have seizure problems and they made a lot of power if you need to ask a question about jenning call me been riding bikes for 60 years had a whole motorcycle shop and I know how to get a two-stroke that's what it's all about all my bikes have always ran flawless everybody's bike that I worked on ran flawless I prefer a carburetor over fuel injection every time

I’ve watched this video twice now and just realized you’re racing my local venue rockcrusher farm. I love riding there

@XLR8 Expanding on the fan does the plug that comes with the fan plus right to the beta harnesses? Or you have to modify to fit or hardwired directly to the stock harnesses..?

Can you please share the link that splits the video transmission from the mirror to the radio? Right now I rigged by by splitting a few wires and I don't like it.

Thanks for making these videos! Gonna help me a lot as I'm doing the same with my van. You mention the 5/8 inch 2 foot heater hose. Do you recall where you purchased that, and is there any more hoses I'll need for the HVAC removal?

If that’s a ‘17 its clean

beautiful bike! can you give more info in regards the clutch lever? name... source... greatly appreciated

Can you do a video on how to correctly remover that rear blower system? Mine is like the elephant in the room lol I built a thin shield so to say around it with ventilation holes just in case.

Do you know of any special spark plug tool that makes it easy to change the second plug out..looks like it may be a pain in the a$$ to change.??

What’d you end up doing with the holes you didn’t use?

I would love one of these for my 4T, but cant justify cost. $900 is wild. Cant wait till a legit knockoff is made 😂

09-12-2024: just tried taking the vehicle to a mechanic shop for it to be "re-flashed" the shop said that it did a big update on the ECM & BCM or whatever but that it still didnt take, and unfortunately the cruise control still doesn't work. Unfortunately, me replacing the steering wheel and taking it to this shop still didn't get it to work. What do i do now? I wasn't there and didn't take pictures of them doing the re-flashing, but i believe they said they just did an update, they didn't necessarily look to turn cruise control on or off, idk.

The SC 2 is worth every penny you pay for it. On the fly adjustment while sitting on the bike!

What do you mean by disconnect the battery, is there a wire somewhere?

Update #2 - Sept 5th, 2024 - i ended up having to utilize my mechanic to finish installing the steering wheel because the junkyard that removed just the steering wheel had some trouble with removing just the steering wheel from the column or whatever. So anyway, the cruise control button on the wheel lights up but sadly still no dice on the dash, in other words there still is no cruise control light on the dash that lights up. I have an appointment at a shop next week to get it re-flashed, ans i guess all they do is "buy the rights to the vin" and then hopefully all it is is turn cruise control on: yes or no. If this doesnt work, I'll just give up, at least i got a new steering wheel out of this whole process.

today, September 4th, 2024, i completed most of this job with a $50 junkyard steering wheel with cruise control off of a 2021 GM VAN onto my 2017 gm van. i had a little trouble with taking off the airbag and inserting something thin on either side of the wheel in order to dislodge the airbag. i eventually got that done. i then had a little trouble getting the airbag cord off with the little 2 orange clips, to pull up on those. i eventually got that done. i did not leave the nut on the steering wheel and i pulled and pulled and pulled and came back to it after a few minutes, and it came out kinda forcefully, I can see why one youtube video says to leave the nut on while pulling on the steering wheel. Anyway, I got that all done, and got the steering wheel main clip undone as well. I then cleaned on the clockspring cause it was dusty and cleaned the new wheel just cause. I clipped the steering wheel cruise control thing in and then clipped the main wheel thing in as well. I tried pushing the airbag in, but to no avail as it is still currently kinda loose and I may have to cannibalize a part or two from the old steering wheel in order to make sure that the airbag is in securely. on the bright side I tested it with the battery plugged in, and pressed the cruise on button and it lit up! I'll get it back from the mechanic tommorow so I can properly test whether I even installed the steering wheel the right way [considering the 2 front wheels were not pointing straight] and whether the cruise light on the dash lights up or not.

Were you able to run the factory backup camera feed into the head unit? Also, how’s that boss receiver holding up? I’m looking into that same model myself.

man... if that was hard hit... I think you never roll it over :)) Also, on my 2023 model it has metal clamps on that hose. But on 2023 RR it spills oil everywhere in airbox from the oil cap hole which drives me crazy...

Awesome topic! If anyone wants to do their best regardless of their level of athlete/ hobbyist they need to consider hydration for these long time activities. Thank you for putting in the work and sharing.

I did exactly the same steering swap on my 2020 chevy express 3500 passenger van and the control work for mine too Thx for the video

Did you ever ride your 24 back to back with your buddies 23" If so, thoughts? Thanks!

How many miles was the loop?

Great video. Thank you. What did you do with the smog box?

Sweet setup! Thanks for sharing. Plan on Keeping the shower and pressure washer water resevoirs independent?

Do you know exactly what model of clutch lever is that? They have a few different styles on their website. One finger, two finger, three finger and even four finger levers. That one looks like a one finger lever. Also, does one really need a Tubliss system if only trail riding, muddy terrain or in the woods and never over rocky terrain with sharp edges?

Looking at getting a 2017 gm van that doesn't have factory cruise control. Would doing something as simple as swapping it with a wheel that has the cc on the wheel add cc to a vehicle that didn't come with it from the factory?

You lost me at spare starter. All these mods. There is a guy named Jimmy Lewis. He’s a pro rider, tester and all around super experienced guy. He often says, weekend guys put way to many mods, to the point of ridiculousness.

Go fast!

Sir, Thank you for this video. At 62 I am having to let go my 1992BMW GS/PD go for my back issues. I happened upon a 2017 DR200 and this just hastened me getting along with the age transition. Thank you for the very informative video and especially all the links. I already ordered the rack and the petcock. I very much appreciate the time you took to do the research and documentation with experience learned. All those that bash the younger generations for selfishness, you just proved them wrong. Good on you !

Could you tell me how many airbag simulators did you need?

Good job on the video. Glad you enjoyed the race. We work hard to put out a good course.

what radiator braces are you running? awesome video btw

offset footpegs iv been running them its defiantly something needed i found

Guitar strings work very well, put a slight bend about 2" from the end and spin the jet against it with your fingers, slide it in and out and sight through it till it appears clear. Soak them in a small cup with a bit of carb cleaner in it before and after as many times as needed. Hit up someone for some used guitar strings.

I dont understand why People put different spare parts on the bike like the second starter.. In this case you should also take a spare pipe, tire,... With you 😂

I went to your TH-cam site. Looks like you didn't keep the 125x for long and ended up getting a trials bike anyway, correct?

Rocket surgery?

I race sprint enduros and harescrambles. I may just have to do this clutch mod to my beta. So far been a awsome bike. Much better then my 23 300.sherco, at least for me.

Nice!! Thanks for sharing!!
