Thanks for the Vid. Have a 2021 on order and will PU in St George when it arrives. Had to call allover 700 mile radius from SLC to find one and none in stock. Cant wait to hit those eagle mtn single-track and see how she handles over my 300xc.
Ha. Your CDI box came from my Beta dealer. I got a 2020 Xtrainer about a month ago. Love the bike. I am 6' and about 230 with all my gear and I think it is a great bike for how I ride. Stock suspension on the 20' from the owners manual already says it has 15w Fork Oil but I am not sure. Other than fast whoops I love the soft suspension. I am doing some test tuning this weekend as I just put the FMF Gnarly pipe on it and took out the Power Valve Spacer.
I have a '17 Xtrainer with FMF Gnarly, air box mod, and spacer removed. I blew out the original CDI along the way and considered going to a 300rr CDI at that time, but didn't, got an OEM Xtrainer box instead. Now I'm thinking maybe that 300 CDI would have been the next step. I was worried that the port timing / ignition difference between the Xtrainer and 300rr wouldn't warrant interchangeable CDIs. Have you noticed any specific differences in how the bike runs with the two different boxes?
Yes, it ran fantastic! It was crisp with more top end. I loved the change. Keep in mind I also shaved the head as well. Thanks for the question and watching my video.
Very cool. If u were to do it again would u just buy an RR or are u happy u went this route? I’m looking at picking up the xtrainer primary for the price. Or would it be better to just pay a lil extra and do the rr
That is a great question. I learned a lot working on this bike. I also learned a lot riding this bike. This bike is great for the slow technical riding but the suspension needs a lot of work if you want to ride at any speed or hit jumps (launching off boulders or downed trees). I gained a lot of respect for this bike but as I progressed I yearned for more. I think the 300rr (race edition in my case) deserves respect but at the same time you'll get a bike that's already setup to do hard enduro or race. So my answer is complicated. I started taking lessons from a local pro and if I would've already had my 300rr race edition I could've learned everything on that bike and not spent money or time working on the XTrainer. At the same time I really enjoyed my time and growth on the Xtrainer. It all depends on the rider. Thanks again for the question!
did the bike get any louder with the fat exhaust pipe header? i'd appreciate the extra oomph of a fat pipe but i have some pissy neighbours who always complain about noise
93 SSP Got the bike on order and waiting for delivery. I want to change exhaust, suspension and add protection in certain areas. Thank you for the update.
@@NaturallyCaffeinated thanks for the response... although my question was about tha fuel. The fuel consuption is the same or higher after the mods? Cause i believe it is higher. I want to do these mods but i m afraid that i have to carry some extra fuel with me after that.
@@painkiller8383 The bike was absolutely more efficient. I burned less fuel. Keep in mind I ride hard enduro and I'm generally in 1st and 2nd gear most of the time. I have never run out of gas with this bike. The mods allowed me to ride higher in elevation and further on the trail. I averaged 4 hour rides at around 8500ft of elevation and never worried about brining extra fuel. The bike ran better, cooler and was dialed. I hope that information was useful.
@@NaturallyCaffeinated I have a 2019 and there is a plastic piece that is located in the top of the air box. It is secured by two bolts and it comes right out. I found it really opened it up and let. The bike breathe. There is a video on the removal on here just look it up.
how big is the difference between the original CDI and the RR 300 CDI. because i also drive a 2017 xtrainer with the same modifactions and still have original cdi installed. And Nice Video
Big difference for my bike. I actually had the European CDI box (this is a known issue with some of the bikes imported to the US. The 300RR box woke my bike up! This bike screams now as I have more top end.

Hey man I have a 2020 xt with a similar build but yet quite different! I like the clutch slave and lever!!
Thanks for watching Dylan. Awesome bike, practice clutch control and balance and that bike will take you ANYWHERE!
Many thanks from here in Britain 👍
You bet, Happy New Year from the US!

I changed my muffler so it’s slightly louder but worth it!
Great info here! Did you lose any bottom end torque with these mods or is it the xTrainer bottom end with RR top end (best of both worlds)?
None at all! It was the best mod ever!!! Thanks for watching.
Which exhaust are you running?
Thanks for watching! I used the Turbinecore 2.0.
150lbs with gear on? Damn im 150 lbs stock and feel skinny
93 SSP which muffler you installed? Also, is the 300rr FMF exhaust system compatible with the strainer?
I have the FMF Q installed. Yes the 300rr FMF System is compatible if you have the 300rr header pipe.
93 SSP Where can I find a 300rr CDI box? I’ve looked on line but I’m having a hard time finding one. Thanks for your previous response.
@@sanjuaneropr I bought my CDI box directly from Beta. Part number 0264002210000
@@sanjuaneropr Sorry, I gave you the incorrect number from the CDI box. The correct part number for the 300RR CDI box is 026400228300.

@@NaturallyCaffeinated thanx bro! That was clear enough!
Can I ask, could I do the spacer, pipe and cdi but avoid the head work?
You bet! That would work great.
Hi did you set up rear shock ?
No I left it stock but it's pretty easy to rework the shim stack and swap the spring if needed for your type of riding.
Did you open up the air box.??
I have not opened up the air box, should I? I guess I'll need to look at the 300RR and see the difference.

Dave Martin I didn’t open up the air box. Seems to be running excellent so I’m going to leave the air box stock.

@@NaturallyCaffeinated Alright thank you, So it's worth spending some money
@@noose2use418 It was for me. It gives it more power but is still very linear in its delivery from mild to wild!
