Beta Riders Club Discussion Forum

Went for a little dirt ride after work today.

First time riding the bike...

Went down a little road that 4x4s always get stuck in, it's a closed/abandoned road... bike felt amazing in the ruts/dips/etc...

It makes my WR450 feel like a Harley in comparison, the WR is very top heavy feeling, the XTrainer literally has that MTB with a motor feel, I love it.

Installed larger IMS tank and had George at Uptite Install the new Pipe. Wow does that thing open her up. He built me a DB killer insert to use when I'm riding DS rides or around the house. Broke my front fender last week so I installed the red one and really like the look over the white one it came with.

Love the look of the IMS Tank

2016 500RS purchase from Motoxotica in May. It still has stock tires and seat when we rode to Mt Patterson in central east side of California. I'm loving it so far! Had one intake valve that was a little tight beyond spec at 1st valve check. It's due for fork service soon. I live around Colfax, CA and hoping to ride with other Beta's in the area. CHEERS!

A bit of de-arrowing after our last weeks hare scramble


Looks like I missed 1 on the way up

Deck1, great pics of your Beta in the hills. Your Mountains look similar to ours. Beautiful!

NZMarkB, Great form. That's a little too technical for my abilities.


Images from bottom to top.

A pic of the Beta from last weekends excursion. That's a distant hazy view of pikes peak in the background. The 2nd Pic is of me and the red machine near Marshall Pass Colorado a few weeks prior. Don't laugh too hard at the body armor, I ride in very rocky terrain and it hurts more to take a spill these days.

The final Pic..... the back side of Pikes Peak (not taken by me) on Sunday WTH? I thought we had at least another 6 weeks of high altitude riding? This should melt quickly but the riding season is drawing to a close.

Have the Clake SLR as the clutch and stock clutch is now the rear brake, no rear brake pedal fitted. Removed the indicator / headlight switch block and fitted the KTM on off and start switch, added several scratches and a few gouges.

Has about 500km on the clock now, already dropped it three times

Visited my Dad, he lives 5.5 Hours away.

Photo's taken on the Renfrew County trails north of Deacon / Golden Lake.

Open the first image in a new tab/window, the forum is cutting it off.

Decided to put up a little clip of some of the trail.
