Power valve adjustment on my 2024 Beta 300 Race Edition. This dual plug 300 engine from Beta might be the best running 2-stroke I've ridden to date. Smooth broad and clean running power with a simple carburetor and mechanical power valve! Can turning out the power valve preload make it better? Similar to my 2023 Beta 300 Race Edition reducing the preload on the PV spring livens up the throttle response. I went out 1-turn from the Beta factory setting and the PV screw ends up about flush with the cover. I like this setting and will leave it there for now.
This new 24 Beta 300 Race Edition engine might be the best running 300 2-stroke engine I've ridden to date. Dual spark plugs liven up the low to mid engine response and torque feel. The updated 300 Race Edition engine builds RPM's slightly quicker with very smooth and controllable power and runs super clean. Updated seat is noticeably better (softer and more comfortable) than the 2023 300 Race Edition seat. Maxxis tires are DOT approved and OK in dry condition but not so good in soft dirt. KYB suspension feels good on the trails right off the showroom. I was a little worried about the stiffer frame feeling more rigid but so far feels same as the '23 300RE and the tire contact patch feedback is good. Need to get it on a motocross track to see if the new frame changes the handling feel, especially in the dry hard pack type bumps. First impressions of the updated dual spark plug engine are very good! Beta Rideability!
Looking forward to more rides soon!
