Another old guy spoke with his wallet on a Beta 300RX

Love Rio , grew up there but Mother Nature and her don't get along too well.  3P Woods track is where ride most time as turns are my weakness and it has great turns and off camber up/down and sweepers. The Safari track should be killer on the Beta.  GP doesn't seem to have as much sand as it did few years back....Emil sure can build tracks. Ultimate is nothing like it used to be, Glen has put lot of time into....heck of a workout. I'd bet Murphy's would be cool on the Beta 

put a STIC in it and leave it alone imo. Nothing better than a fire breathing keihin equipped 300 with KYBs.

You mentioned the Safari trails at 3 Palms.  I wanted to ride my Beta 300 RX on the trails last time I was there but they didn’t have the trails open.  One of the guys parked next to me said the trails were fun to ride.  Maybe next time they will be open.

I second the work Glen has put into Ultimate, much different than it used to be.  Glen knows how to build a track too.  He should, he  had a top 50 number back in his racing days.  Along with owns a dirt works company.  Pretty sure he has enough sand and dirt to build a track.  

3 Seas is awesome.  Lots of good videos on their Youtube Channel.

I tried getting Fridays rolling, but nope. I want badly to support, but even the messages often aren't up to date.

I've only been out their on my #53 200SX, the 3hun is on stand by. 

FYI on that ZF shock, a buddy installed an upper clicker assembly that KYB'd it. He repeatedly re-valved, the insert was "one and done".

+1  The new STIC Super X carb boosts every aspect of the powerband...more so than the insert meter block. My 200SX  makes my forearms ache for days. LOL 

I've assisted a couple guys with 250 and 300 SX's and they are on pace with 450's now. I've been looking into conversion to the STIC carb and keep the rest in place, ie. ePV and ignition mapping.

Rio bravo is the funnest track in Texas. 

Awesome report. How was Rio ? Great info on the suspension. I'm at 250 so will need to respring. Hope to get mine in next month or so.  Was going to sell my GG 450 but bottom has dropped out on used market so figure why not have both :-) 

We'll try and make it the next Friday they're open!

I don't know why Beta continues to make that horrible seat.  "2x4" is a very accurate description.

I had great luck with the Enduro Engineering tall soft seat with a Guts seat cover. It was the best thing I ever bought for my 480.

Finally got to ride it. Been out twice. 30 degrees last ride haha. Riding in deep sand. I am very impressed by it. I am actually thinking it would make a better single track bike then my 24 TX300. It is just better plain and simple. Long time Husky/KTM guy here, first time Beta.

I didn’t know Rio was open on Fridays.  I thought only Sat and Sun.  They were open today, Presidents day.  I found that out after I had other plans for today.  
 

I’ve been eyeing the 300RX model myself for awhile. 
Once I get healed up and, back to work I’ll have to go check one out. 

 

Just Came in, completes the set. 300RX, 125RR ported by Race Tech, now this, life is pretty good, a boy and his toys.

Don't ride much Parkinson's has taken it's toll still ride just super slow, but it still makes me smile.  But my Stepson rides and races all three, I hang out still involved in the sport I love, so it's money well spent. And to Bultokid, I had a 78 250 Pursang wish I still had it, I am jealous. 

Ride Report - Have ridden it twice so far at 3 Palms Woods Track...and damn, it's a fun bike to ride.  Handles really well and motor is stout, hauls the mail for sure.  Only thing done so far is had the x-trig preload adjuster and stiffer rear spring for my lard azz.  that x-trig sure is sweet setting your sag. Running PV adjuster with stock pv springs and backed out flush. Impressed with the Beta so far. Mixin' gas and Haulin' Ass 

Glad you like your Beta.  I like mine. 

 I swapped the factory seat for Guts with tall foam.  Also swapped pegs out to Flo Eng for my long legs and did the rear spring, I’m a big guy too.

I may ride mine at 3 Palms on Wed if I can get my wife’s action item list done…….my actions.  If not Ultimate MX.  

Brad Freeman  was on a 300RX at Hawkstone Park in the uk on Saturday.... The thing sounds so good with the HGS pipe and silencer on it..

I forgot to mention I ordered a Tall Seat Concepts from Ronny Saturday after riding. I only thought my TC250 seat was hard...really isn't too bad on mx track but did couple loops on the Safari Track and that was that. I've got some .50 springs for the forks but running the stock right now as it's not close to broke in and playing with clickers little bit have got it feeling pretty good on the Woods Track. John's been doing my stuff for decades so if can't get it right it'll be heading his way. We are usually at 3 Palms on Sunday unless off racing vintage mx.  We used to ride Ultimate every Sunday but switched over to 3P couple months ago Haven't been to Rio in awhile but have spun many a lap there

Would love to but still working full time. The Woods track is awesome,  if you haven’t ridden it lately it’s been rebuilt with our coming AHRMA vintage race in mind. I need to hit up Rio again as well
