I would also recommend tossing that plastic throttle tube and get the self lubricating aluminum one. It feels so much better & has a removable end cap in case you want to install full wrap hand guards.
Thank you for the video. Those are all great tips and a couple of them were very helpful to me. I would add another, which is to put a little anti seize on the chain adjuster bolts. It's also never a bad idea when you get a new or used bike to grease the swingarm bearings, shock linkage and steering head.
Acf 50 is a liquid foaming spray that gets into every crevice and is a neutralizer for corrosion. The dialectric grease acts as a physical barrier to prevent as much water from getting to the contacts
@AaronsEnduro and time consuming. However, it's easier to do that when the bike is new. It also increases the longevity of all those pain in the ass bearings. I absolutely get what your saying.
Just bought a 2020 300rr and all of the things on this vid are relevant to my bike thank you
Happy to help!
This bike has steel frame 👍so do all the bikes the pro enduro riders drive, it makes sense.

I just cut mine to install my wrap arounds! But ill take a look at the throttle tube! Thanks for the idea!
Great vid again! I do not have a Beta but I just love to watch these!
Thanks Token! I appreciate it!

Agreed!
Some electric plugs are life longer by an oil spray yeah, my xtrainer from 2016 are runns all time long after maintenance by myselfe like you
Has anyone else heard of little to no grease in the wheel bearings of the 2024 Betas. I was warned first hand of this issue.
The sealed bearings😂
I have problems with the shrouds being to fragile and crunchy. Polisport isn’t making shrouds for 2023 cross trainer.
Is there any way to solve it?
Unfortunately theres nothing else available other than OEM replacements for 2023+
Do they sell these beta bikes on AliExpress??
Why both ACF50 and dielectric grease? Why not one or the other?

Question, you had a 140F. Underneath the bike there’s a tube by the air box and mine is full of little rock’s. What is that tube?
The ones that look like tube caps are for catching debris/ liquids. You can remove it, and clean it out and put it back on
oh man, i had to even fix much more stuff when i got my new xtrainer
Like what?
Good video. However, why doesn't anyone grease the headstem, and all of the linkage bearings?
Because its a kinda a pain in the ass to do

@user-dd2xl4ns5q i agree with you!
Not sure I agree wrinkled clear wrap looks "good". Its like leaving the protective wrap on your new TV or leaving the plastic on a lamp shade.
I dont exactly care how it looks. You dont drag a TV up a riverbed like you do a dirt bike lol
stupid critics of an excellent bike ( now it's my second trainer 1010 years )
i think i'll just buy the gas gas ;;;
This is all old news, been on TH-cam for ever 🙄
And you have 1 of these bikes no buzz off then
Yes I have 2 betas
The most pointless comment award goes too…
