2/27/2026 9:10am I lied and told the doctor I work at a desk. Went back to wrenching 2 days after my surgery.

dirtmike86 Added a reply to Aftermarket triple clamps worth the $?
1/22/2026 11:20am I believe your 300rr should have 20mm offset clamps. My 300RX does. I almost swapped them just to see before I bought them but I’m impatient.

1/22/2026 10:27am Don’t know what Avid went with but I just put on the Ride Engineering 20.5 offset clamps. I would have went with the Luxon for the adjustable offset option but I got a good deal on the RE. First thing is vibration. I don’t think this bike can ever be like a Yamaha as far as that goes but it...

1/6/2026 6:14am Start the morning with a fat bowl of Emig Os. But yeah, feel that way every morning before a race or practice day at the track. I choose to rip the hills most days because of this.

10/21/2025 2:42pm I have the HC4, only issue I have had is the bottom triangle bolt came loose and the frame broke. The dealer said it would take care of it but had a trip to Utah in a few days so I took it apart and had it welded.

8/12/2025 6:31am When I took mine into my dealer after I installed the FMF to have it mapped they also bumped up the idle 100rmp. I never had an issue before though so I can’t say if that would fix the issue. Also have a fire power battery since the stock one took a shit a week after I bought it. Beta...

8/6/2025 6:25am Not until I started riding Beta. Best brand out there when it comes to supporting the customer. Especially when hearing all the horror stories about other brands.

7/7/2025 7:36pm I used Wheelwx.com. Emailed them and he set me up with the rims and spokes that I needed. Laced them myself. He has complete wheels or spacers to run the KTM wheels. Super cool dude. Going up one tooth in the rear helps with the sluggish feeling off the bottom, the FMF helped too along with a remap and cutting...

3/22/2025 8:49am Beta 300 RX is Swiss army knife of dirt bikes. Especially the models with 6 speed, 24 and older. For an MX bike mine is happy at the track, trails, single track whatever. It does everything really good. I installed a green inner power valve spring and backed the PV adjuster out a tick, easy to ride anywhere.

3/22/2025 8:46am Pro Taper SX Race bend. The clamps made, to me, a big difference on cornering, comfort and stability. The stock clamps had a harshness to them I thought was just the suspension until I got the Luxon's. The Luxon clamps were the only thing I changed from the previous trip to the same track, and pretty much the same conditions, and the bike just felt much more planted under heavy braking, through rutted corners it didn't feel like it wanted to wander and climb out, just went where I wanted it to go. Flatter/dry corners it still has a bit...

3/22/2025 8:46am Love mine. Also have a 21 300RX that’s I’ve raced all over as well. Beta is a solid company that treat customer’s like no other company does. You won’t regret getting one.

3/22/2025 8:38am Thought id throw this info in here I got back from Beta. Every time I would change the oil (with filter) I would add 750ml which it calls for but this put the oil level at the top of the site glass while running on level surface. The manual says for it to be in the middle of the sight...

3/21/2025 7:53am I just removed the switch all together. It defaults to the aggressive map or whatever they call it. This bike is already mellow so I never used the other mode or TC.

3/20/2025 8:34pm How do you like those clamps? What bar bend are you running?

3/20/2025 8:31pm Here is what it looks like with '25 plastics and '24 graphics. The white side panels and air box cover blend the white backgrounds instead of the red plastic breaking it up and looking clunky. Those aren't bubbles, just weird reflections. 😆

3/6/2025 8:43pm I just finished doing the update on one we have going out. Beta will warranty that update just make sure the dealer has done one before it goes out. Pretty easy to see if its been done, if there is a ground wire on the back/clutch side of the starter then it has not been done. I also flipped the starter relay over. Was not a fan of how the wires were run. I'll take a pic of what it looks like after I changed it for those that are interested.
