my 21 300rr is everything I need. What I loved the most was the Beta comes with switch gear from the factory so making it street legal just took a set of blinkers. The remainder of the wiring and switches were already on the two stroke from the factory. So I could ride fire roads and trail connector tarmac.
I'd go with Standard. Thanks for sharing the differences. Although, if the YZ250X had a button I'd buy one. Looking forward to the feedback on the handlebar and footpegs.
I put some ODI ROGUE Grey( soft compound) grips on my 2018 Beta 300 RR Race Edition which vibrated a lot! That simple switch made a huge difference that I felt instantly!! I have some nerve damage in my hand in the military that is aggravated by vibration or to thin of a grip. What happens is my hand locks up and I can't hold on or hit the brakes etc which can get very scary very quickly. These grips solved that almost completely and I'll swear by them as long as I can get them or something better come out!!
Nice comparison - plain terminology clearing explaining the differences. Thank you. oh and.. Mako over the Flexx bars.. made that switch after a quick stop on the BRP setup. Mako is the way to go. The fasst foot pegs are a nice upgrade too.
I bought a 2024 300RR Race Replica. Really like it but thought the KYB's would be magic out of the box. The initial stroke seems stiff but it still bottoms when pushed harder. Also, it deflects too much when I inadvertently hit stuff on the trail. Can you share your suspension setup and sag? Thanks!
Hello, I am a fan of your channel, I need to know if the 300 race 2023 has the same elasticity, (longer 1st and 2nd gear) and low end as the 2024. Thank you very much.
I have a 390 with the kyb. From what I understand, it's oversprung for it's valving. I'm 205lbs and it does everything for me, but lighter guys say they have trouble dialing it.
Nice timing Jimmy!! I'm buying a new Beta within the next 30 days. Having a very hard time deciding between 200 and 300. And standard RR or Race Edition. (not Race Replica, haha) I feel like the 300 could be too much power for me, mid range and up. But love the bottom end lug of a 300. Can I reduce the mid to top end power output by turning IN the power valve adjuster? By the way, I trail ride only, 53 years old 6'0" 200 pounds, upper novice to low intermediate skill level I think. Always try to keep speeds down and wheels on the ground because I don't heal up very good anymore.
Get the 300 standard RR…you ll love it based on how you say you ride. Beta motors are so smooth the power is linear and very controllable. I run the green power valve spring spring now and it is incredible in the woods. If I were buying in the near future I’d look into the new X-pro model
@@AdamCoffey828 Really appreciate the input. What color PV spring does the bike come with? I am assuming the green spring is stiffer and delays the PV opening, even longer?
@@Garrettacticalmine didn’t have any color on it but looked comparable to the yellow middle of the road spring. Yes the green spring is stiffer and keeps the power valve closed a bit longer. It tractors up slippery hills with ease. The zf suspension works amazing also despite what KYB fans say
Both are good. It’s kind of a waste. Stock is good. Just put suspension for your weight. So 400 more for kyb? Ok but it’s not much different. Got a 15 300 rr and a 22 zf fork and my kyb 400 race edition with the hoity tooth pro racing setup from factory. I’m king of glad I didn’t add the price to my suspension. No are good. I rode a YZ300 too. It’s ok.
@DirtBikeTest every one different and feels thing different obviously some one who's tests bikes like yourselves opinions hold value than a weekend warrior like myself

There is a company that makes a kit for the YZ250X but for 1k more to the bike, but the Beta is a better bike imo.

Jimmy says you are lucky because you must have big hands...and he doesn't. You know what they say about big hands, right?

Now if only Yamaha would make a competitor to these button start 300s. I’d buy it in a second, as would many others. WE’RE WAITING 😂

We believe that are all the same transmissions. Our two bikes feel the same both 2024
How would you say the KYB suspension on Race edition compares to the KYB suspension on a YZ250X?

Higher comp ratio on the race models also.
I have learned my lesson, if it doesn’t have KYB suspension I won’t buy the bike.
I bought a standard RR. Is it a drawback for harescrambles and XC racing ? I only ride track for training, but do not race MX
We deep dive on this on Tech Talk #225 th-cam.com/video/_4DQmu1bSWE/w-d-xo.html
@@DirtBikeTest Awesome. Missed it last Tuesday, I'll check it out.

Racing kyp suspension sucks on the trail imo good in the mx obviously every one different but every one I ride with thinks the same
I bought the race edition, asked to my suspension tuner to revalve it for my use. Now, it’s way better, and also way better than the sachs.
@user-se7vt5ow4e does not agree

Always get suspension done for my weight. no matter the bike. Very important. Changes everything
