Thank you!

Thanks!

Thank you!

🤣 I'm so ashamed.. There were a couple spots on that steak that had some gristle. But, I did eat all the charred crispy goodness off camera! Thanks! And thanks for watching!

Of course! And they also invented the best invention of all... BACON! 😆

Thank you! And thanks for watching!

Thank you! Thanks for watching!

Thanks Steve!

Your jeep in the desert sounds quite peaceful. Thanks for watching. Probably safer to not ride alone. 😁

That is a great idea! I'm going to try it. Thanks!

Pay attention. This'll be hard for you to understand, that was the middle grate. Used for holding coals when doing a high heat BBQ.

🤣 I was actually surprised there wasn't much if any grit on it.

Thanks. Yes it is.

Thanks!

114L, 116L and 118L are the length. By dropping down.. do you mean falling off the smallest sprocket towards the frame? Or do you mean the chain and derailleur get loose because the chain is too long?

@@enablerdave when i am pedaling,if i go verry verry slow on low speed gear(the smalest chainring on back)chain is felling same like is not fitted properly on chaining and jumping,i heard that on front chaining..is like is losed or too long or i dont know..but i cant go fast on smalest chainring on back,as chain is like ready to jump or breaking

@@enablerdave the thing is before to put new chain,i put old one on the floor and new one close to old one,i see and maked sure new one is same long like old one..i put it on bike and got these problems..by the way is 8 years old bike,still in great condition but this problem bother me

@@TheRazvancristian Hmm.. like it's skipping under pedal pressure? If that's the case, your old chain might have been worn too much and it wore the smallest sprocket down.. so now the new chain, which has a smaller gap between pins than the older chain (which was stretched) no longer fits on the worn sprocket teeth. So you may have to replace the sprocket or cassette. If it's only doing it on the smallest sprocket, you may just be able to replace the smallest sprocket instead of the whole cassette. Does that make sense?

@@enablerdave if i put pressure when i am pedaling,is doing same thing on more speeds,but not so bad like on smallest speed (chairing on back)..this happen after I replaced the chain,before wasnt this problem..is possible to old chain been to long after 8years old,and i mistake by cutting new one at old one size?was better to new chain been one more level longer?then old one what was used and in time get longer then when is new..i dont know to be honest,as i am not bike expert,i try to learn now,as shops charge so much for everything..or i need to buy 114L or 118L..my new one was 116L

How do you figure that? There's only one place it fits. Position 1 goes against a roller. Position 2 goes against a roller 4 rollers behind it. It doesn't matter where the wide links are.

If you look the #2 draw is showing the hook going between the links not like the video i think they do it that way for some reason.Regards

​@@gilletteguy787I think I know what you mean now... You're talking about the space between the wide links vs the space between the narrow links. It doesn't make a difference. They just had to draw the chain accurately and pick a spot to portray putting the hook. The rollers wear the same no matter their orientation to the wide links. I've checked 1000s of chains. It never matters if the hook goes between a wide link or a narrow link.

Bring cigars!!

Me too I got the beer

@@danbuchner1494 Oh yeah!! 🍺

Might as well make it a party @@enablerdave

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I was so wrapped up in eating it.. I didn't even think to video cutting into it! I'll do another and get the money shot next time! 😄

agreed, my wife loves to make our 13 kids every meal from david. Reminds me of the times before the war when I used to be able to cook for them myself, good times. anyways great video david!

Thanks! My pleasure. Hope your weekend is great!

@@plebspooks2901 Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy them. Wishing you the best!

S&P, the choice for me. 😆

You are correct. I believe the whole "chain stretch" phrase came from the idea that the "length" stretches. Even though it's the result of tolerance gaps increasing between components.

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

That's great! Riding is the best!

@@enablerdave yes

You're welcome! You're too kind! Thanks!

Thanks!

No, these are between Frostburg and Lonaconing.

@pegmonkey I just got a daul sport and live around here and was looking for decent trails to ride ill have to go check them out one day

@@skater000000013 Lots of them between Westernport and Frostburg. Also, check out St John's Rock ORV.. lots of trails off of there too.

@@enablerdave is jhons rock closer to westernpport pr garrett county?

@pegmonkey I found it yeah ill definitely go check that out when the weather breaks thank you

I hear you. I prefer tubes most of the time. I got two flats on a ride on the canyon the other weekend, decided to go tubeless for a bit and see how it does. On the front tire, I've got 12 thorn holes and it's still holding air. So far so good. Thing I really don't like about tubeless is burbing out air around the bead in rock gardens. My Beta doesn't suffer the same problem since it uses a tubliss inner tube as a rim lock.. wish mountain bikes had a similar setup. I think in the Tour de France, the team carries whole wheels and just swap a new wheel in. But, I've seen catastrophic bead leaks that cause crashes.. The exprimenting continues!

The water was warm. The air was chilly. 🥶

There or other areas to ride nearby. There's a lot of coal mines and hundreds of miles of trails that extend off the St John's rock area. Riding there isn't officially sanctioned.. but myself and the other locals ride there a lot.

I got them here. aomc.mx/ beta covered the cost under warranty. Call them. Yeah, I did the work myself. Service manuals are here. betausa.com/off-road-support/

@@enablerdave thanks for the info. I just got the bike with 160 hours. Previous owner did the top end but not the bottom. Hoping the top end is still good. Do I have any luck with beta warranty if the bikes at 160 hours? I’m assuming not. Again thanks for the help.

@@enginepowered3353 You're welcome! The third time my bearings went, the bike had like 230 hours on it. But I'm the original owner. It might still be worth a try contacting Beta.

@@enablerdave is there a upgraded set of bearings I can get so I don’t need to keep doing this? Or do they just always fail?

@@enginepowered3353 That's a good question. I just used stock spec bearings. NTN brand if I recall. The last time they went, Beta sent a new crank. I had already replaced everything else including the cases. The last repair has lasted the longest. I measured the old crank and the new. The new crank had slightly smaller journals on the crank. Just a couple of thousandths smaller. But, this last repair has lasted the longest. I also went from running 50:1 oil to 30:1 oil thinking more oil might help them last. I've since cut that back to 40:1.. I also now let the bike idle for 20 minutes after it's been wet, stream crossing or washing. The thinking is maybe moisture had been corroding the bearings. Beta isn't sure what's causing the failures. At least, they've never been able to tell me the cause. I don't think it's a bearing quality issue though. My previous failures had been 60 to 80 hours apart. This last repair has lasted 120 hours so far. The bike has 320 hours on it now. My personal thought is it's a moisture issue. The bearings rust and destroy themselves. Beta trials bikes had a similar problem a long time ago and went weth dual sealed grease packed bearings to remedy the problem. I'm hopeful warming up the bike after every wash will solve it. I honestly don't see how there's been anything wrong with any of the cases or bearings previously. All the measurements have been spot on. I used nitrous oxide to cool the bearings so they just dropped right in. Very careful on assembly.

The last fix beta provided was a new crank. So far, that seems to have done the trick. I measured the crank journals, the new ones were a couple thousands smaller diameter. I'm guessing the extra "slop" was enough to keep the bearings from binding.

Thanks! There's some more of the spines and ridges out there. I'll make a longer video next time I'm out and ride all the spines. One day, I got stuck in a valley and the only way out was up steep hills. Took me an hour to drag the bike out of there. lol.

@@enablerdave yeah I’d love to see more of that area!

Seriously...

This happened to my sons 250rr 2017, the oil pump failed. This caused the big end to destroy itself. Last ride 20hours after the rebuild, it’s making noises again. My new x-trainer stripped all it’s teeth off the flywheel and busted the starter bendix in half.! Beta did fix it under warranty. I sold it at a $1500 loss. Back on a WR250f 2020 . Reliability never gets old.

Hi bud, I've got a 2018 300 rr with 68 hours , same problem , I've been given a estimate of $1300 for full rebuild , just wondering if you have fixed it , has it happened again ?, did they work out what caused it?

It was a little confusing in spots. I definitely got lost a few times.

That was a lot of the single track sections all edited together. There were people that did the entire course on big vtwin adventure bikes. It's doable, but some of the rock gardens beat up their skid plates and frames pretty good. I think a 701 would have no problem though. Might even be smoother than doing it on a 250 2t. The biggest bike I did it on was an 07 WR450 and it was pretty plush. The way they had it laid out last year, they had bypasses for the harder sections, so you could opt out if you got in too deep.

Thanks! There were 70ish miles in the morning and 40ish in the afternoon. I'd say about 25% was single track, another 25% was two track. The rest was mostly gravel. So many rock gardens. :) I highly recommend it.

@@enablerdave Awesome Thanks now just have to hope I can get a spot with the limited entry's.

@@joejohnston471 Did you get in? I decided to not try for a ticket this year to give people a chance who hadn't done it before. I got to ride it twice last year since I helped layout the course. :)

@@enablerdave Yeah but a bunch of guy's in our group didn't:( hopefully they can get in Sat. or get a transfer later couldn't believe how fast it sold out.

@@joejohnston471 Darn. Yeah, I figured it would sell out quick. Hope your friends snag tickets!

Thanks! I'm on a 2018 Beta 250rr.

Yeah man! I'm gonna try and make it.

I just had a month of my bike being down. Main bearing went bad again. I think it was my fault this time. lol. Wrong clearance on the bearing. I hope it's super muddy!! I seem to do better in the mud! :)

@@enablerdave Sorry to hear about your woes. If I can make it I'll try to catch up with you.

Yeah! Track and Trail the motorcycle shop.

Yea I bought two bikes from there recently and they told me about the trails up there.... looks absolutely awesome

Cool. It's pretty sweet. Some nice tight single track, lot of big loose rocks. Some faster two track. No real steep hills, but some decent faster hill climbs with a lot of switch backs. Great mix. Plus.. one of the few place in PA that allows bikes. Worth a visit.
