happy seal wrote:Well guys, I drove 6 hours to pick up my Race Edition and all I can say is WOW! Stillwell did the suspension, Kissell did the rest. What a group of guys. Between American Beta, Kissell Motorsports, and Cody Webb, this bike is all that and more! Breaking it in today and a bit yesterday. You know the feeling when you smile uncontrollably! Yeah Baby! Can't wait to get this bike into the New England rocky snot.

Awesome!!!! That bike is gorgeous!!!!

Oh.. I didn't see that.. frickem.. dump the bike... it's no good now..

Fitted the bare essentials today for the Welsh 2 Days, Proper hand guards, Proper Sump guard, Exhaust guard, swinging arm guards, Mousse's front and back. Off out for Special test practicing at the local MX track Wednesday to get my speed up.

can you let me know where you got the disc guard , swingarm guards etc from?
what time you off in the welsh?

Beta 400 RR 2014.

The rear disc guard is a Boano one and the Swing Arm guards are Hyde ones, I'm sure you'd get them from Steve Plains or Eddy's. My start time is 8.37 day 1 - 7.37 Day 2

Added Stillwell Suspension, Rekluse Core EXP 3.0, and a few other bits. Still need to get numbers/graphics and front and rear disk guards.

I definitely feel like a poser on this bike. Amazing motor - not at all like my last few ktm 300 bikes. Still trying to get it geared right for my riding style - old and slow.

hopefully get to spend more time on it after not riding much the last couple years.

14 300 rr

If anyone is running the E-line pipe guard make sure it's not causing sight vibration that you feel in your hands while riding. I installed one and had it tight as it could go and on lap one of the race my hands were completely numb.

Ran the full national enduro without the guard and hands were fine. Installed guard again and rode some laps on our test loop and 15 min in hands were numb. Ended up using GMP's suggestion which was to use high temp silicone to build up areas of where the guard meets the pipe. Then let the guard cure some,spray the pipe with cooking spray and then fit the guard on.

After 10 months of use:
3000 Km
94.5 Work hours
275l of gasoline
2 Sets of tires
8 Air filter cleanings
3 Oil changes
1 Valve adjustment
1 Coolant change

Completely without trouble under every condition. Only off-road, with maybe 10% of inevitable asphalt.
Only gripe I have is a high fuel consumption. I've made it worse with an aftermarket fuel-screw, but bike runs great nonetheless.
Many, many happy moments.
Due next is another valve check, oil change and maybe oil pump gears.
