Thank you! Good luck with the slow wheelie.

nope just the exhaust cam. It made a big difference.

@@NaturallyCaffeinated thanks so much for confirming!

Turns out it was my radiator cap! It was missing the rubber gasket when I bought it.

@@NaturallyCaffeinated I'm having major loss of coolant w/o any external signs or black specks in the coolant. The cap has always been a PITA to install - so I now lubed it and will give a try. After lubing, the cap was soooo easy to install. Let' see...

@ Thanks for watching the video and adding your comments. Let’s hope it works longterm! Love these Betas

@@NaturallyCaffeinated The larger gasket is supposed to be seated on the radiator opening. There was visible precipitation on the aluminium, which could not be there had the cap been fully seated. So, I believe that the engine has -over time- evaporated much of the water out.

which bearing?

@@NaturallyCaffeinated all of them haha I ended up getting it out after drilling a little indent. Definitely had to sleep on it. Going to work on the swing arm bearings next

Not neccessarily a dump but a quick release. When you "dump" the clutch you can loose control and feel of the engagement point. With the proper clutch modulation you will feel the engagement point which is critical in the successful slow wheelie. Try this, practice (without trying a wheelie) on flat ground, quickly releasing the clutch and immediately pulling the clutch lever back in to gain a "feel" for the engagement point. Do this over and over until you have control of your clutch. Once you have practiced this over and over, try pulling your front end up then tapping the rear brake to bring the front wheel back to earth. After doing this over anger again you should have a better feel for clutch modulation and control. This should help you with your slow wheelie. The idea is to control your rear wheel traction and bringing the front end up in a controlled manner. Thank s for watching and good luck!

Thanks for the question. Turns out the old clutch plates were fine. The engine was rebuild just before I bought the bike and the bolts needed to be retorqued.

Thanks for watching and thanks for the follow up! I wasn't sure if anyone wanted more videos. Now I will make some follow up videos.

@@NaturallyCaffeinated it’s really helpful to see you struggle, because those are probably all the same things I’m going to do wrong or it helps identify things I don’t even know I’m doing wrong.

@@hickokaviation2249 Once you start to record yourself "learning" these techniques you begin to truly learn. The learning curve on the double blip is pretty steep. Clutch control and timing are key here. Good luck! Would love to see a video of where you're at on this technique.

@@NaturallyCaffeinated I’m trying to learn the timing to pop up the front wheel right now. Filming oneself is a huge help to calibrate what we think we’re doing and reality. Everything feels bigger in the moment and then in video it’s usually underwhelming. 🤣

So TRUE!!!!!!@@hickokaviation2249

After owning the XTrainer and modifying it I did decide to buy a 2022 300RR Race Edition (WOW, what a difference). Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching and commenting! Hope your leak is gone for good.

Thanks Derek! I took a break and will revive the channel. Thanks for the encouraging words.

Thanks for watching! You are absolutely correct, clutch modulation is key to extending your rear tire and especially a gummy tire! Thanks for commenting.

Thanks for watching. I am modulating the clutch at the engagement point.

You bet! Thanks for watching.

Sorry about that! 125Nm. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching my video! I start by sitting on the bike with one leg on the ground. I then shift my weight forward to help compress my front forks. This is where I use the rebound of the suspension to help me lift the front end with clutch control and throttle (very little throttle though). Hope this helps. Let me know if I should create a video for getting the front end up in the air.

So, yes! It takes time to "feel" what is necessary to get the front end up without to much throttle. But, it shouldn't take much throttle to get the front end up. If using rebound and the right clutch modulation you won't need much throttle. Maybe I'll make another video with this exact technique in mind to help. Thank you for watching and your question! If you need further help please drop another comment.

@@NaturallyCaffeinated thanks for your reply! …if you were to line up the slots of the throttle and the drop of the clutch, and the fork rebound, would all three be simultaneous, in your own mind, or are the staggered?…I’m wondering if I should be cracking the throttle as I’m compressing the forks and the dropping the clutch with the rebound, and throttling off as I’m dropping the clutch, so there is no way to have the throttle on as the clutch is engaged….if that makes sense? (I’ve over throttled when I’m shifting my weight back - on the rebound - and if it’s just a little overdone, the front wheel is hard to control, as it comes up so quickly)

…another way to ask is…”are you blipping the throttle” as you pull back in the handlebars? I’m trying that but find I’ve an inconsistent blip, as I find it difficult to shutoff the blip while trying to pull the bars back…if you’re doing that, then your experience shows me I just have to work harder :-)

@@JimBlair are you on a 2T or 4T bike?

Thank you for watching!

Thanks for watching!

It's taken a couple of years! Thanks for watching.

@@NaturallyCaffeinated You really have the patience, i salute you.

Amazing, this thing turned into a hard enduro tractor! Love the transmission swap. The gearing is perfect for what I ride, slow technical.

Correct, continue to modulate the clutch at the engagement point while covering your rear brake. It's going to take some time and practice but keep at it! Good luck.

Start with your clutch control. Then practice bringing the front end up slowly, tap the rear brake and repeat over and over until you can consistently bring the front end up safely (remember to keep your foot covering the rear brake). From there you can start to drag your left foot on the ground. From there try keeping both feet on the pegs. Hope it helps.

​@@NaturallyCaffeinated Thanks

You’ll get there! 👍

That would be an interesting mod!

Did you try the Beta dealer (they’re not expensive)? You need to get them from either the 300 RR or the 300 RR Race Edition. Hope that helps.

@@NaturallyCaffeinated thank you so much I’ll order them today

Thanks for watching and will do!

Thanks for watching. I like to tell people to start with the slow wheelie as it builds a foundation for clutch control. Good luck!

Thanks for watching my video. Glad it worked out for you AND thanks for the extra tips.

Thanks for watching! I watched your mountain bike crash from 3 years ago. Did you bust yourself up? If so, what type of injury did you sustain?

Thanks for watching my video! I put in 500ml's. It's been great since! Enjoy and be safe out there.

Did the same thing to my 23’, works great..

@@rochellestanley9532 love it! Now show us those slow wheelies.

James, great point and thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching Dylan. Awesome bike, practice clutch control and balance and that bike will take you ANYWHERE!

Thanks for watching my video. I haven’t but, what issues are you experiencing? I will help as much as I can.

@Naturally Caffeinated We have several of the CQB1 models that are giving the Overload Condition Detected, but no longer have a warranty. I've tried all the troubleshooting available in the manual and nothing works. I saw your video and hoped to try this fix on ours.

@@lulu23a if you give it a try, let me know if it works for you. Maybe we can chat about it over the phone if it doesn't work.

This did not work for me.

​@@lulu23au can Fox it? I have same problem ,model 885

Thanks for watching my video! Yes trimmed that rear fender. I used the blue painters tape and cut with a hand grinder. It helps while learning the slow wheelie if you loop it, HAHAHA!

Thank you very much for watching and especially for commenting. The slow wheelie takes time so stick with it and DON’T give up! I’m moving and will be posting videos again. Thank you for the encouragement and boost! Oh by the way, I have quite a few comments on me looking like, Seth Meyers! Thanks again and please update me when you make some progress on the slow wheelie.

@@NaturallyCaffeinated That's good to hear, hope the move goes well, have sub'd and look forward to the new vids. I shall try and video some wheelie practice in-between track day prep of my Daytona but few and far between. All the best. Cheers

Thanks for watching! I used the Turbinecore 2.0.

Hahahaha!

Thank you so much and thanks for watching! Are you new to slow wheelies? If so, how’s it going?

@Naturally Caffeinated I didn't ride for over a year due to injury but coming back soon, I will keep u updated

Thanks for watching!
