Hey Jeff - Man I love your channel, always do the mods to my new Beta's also. I'm about to pick up my '24 250 Race, and was wondering if you'd be interested in selling me one of those 3D printed lock covers? I've always used round covers from the hardware store, but those won't work on this new shape. Thanks man.

Hi Jeff. If I may ask, for your hours, are you going by the ART on the speedo? Or did you install and aftermarket meter? I ask, because I recently realized that the stock speedo doen't count hours at idle, only when that front wheel picks up the speed does it start counting towards ART. My aftermarket hour meter installed at first start says 3.0 hours for me, and the speedo shows 2.1 ART. Which is better to go by???? All these years of riding KTM and Husky and I never realilzed hour inaccurate the ART is on the Speedo's.

Great video! I run my vent hoses the same way. One thing I'd recommend is getting yourself a couple chainsaw (in-tank) fuel filters to stick on the end of the vent hoses you ran to the airbox. It prevents dust from getting sucked into the hoses but also, more importantly, if you loop the bike or it crashes laying on its side past horizontal for more than a few seconds, the filter will absorb a lot of the gas and prevent it from flowing into the airbox or on the hot exhaust.
@JeffSanGeorge9534 ай бұрын
Great suggestion. Currently I use the PC racing carb vent kit. That may allow fuel to flow back. The saw filter idea is great.

These bikes are set up for a wide range of users. Anyone from an off-road racer to the guy that rides it to work everyday. The thermostat helps regulate the temp in cold or high speed applications where the engine might not produce enough heat to run right. For me and most US trail riders it's just not needed so I remove it to eliminate a possible fail point.

Good morning. I tell you what happened with my rr 300 racing 2024 . they came in the box i do it all. I have experience a lot. But the mix screw in carburettor said one a quarter right!?? I put gasoline i play soft 5 hours in the road after try the first time an enduro modes. Ok. After 4 hours the sparks brake!!! I buy another 35€ per one input it and after 8 Hours the same. I talked with my dealer they told me the problem was the oil. I put 1,8% ipone samurai oil. I said i see a lot of oil in the sparks. They said no is the oil i spoke with ipone i said they told me your oil something have inside and they burn my sparks. They said no way you have more fuel i said i talk to them but say to leave the screw in 1 and quarter. Anyway after that spoke the dealer , i said take my bike back is new I don't know what i do. They say ok come from here to check another. I try the 250 rr no racing and i stay with my mouth open. I said how its possible to have more midle and hi power ?? I order one new. My dealer told me take in the island back your bike take of all your extra stuff and send it to me to send you the new one. I said ok. I came back in paxos and i say I want to go one more time for enduro.after 3 hours the same problem.sparks proke . I changed again.I had power but never whellie with out cluch was like 125 cc maybe 200 no more. But in enduro gos well. Im 110 kilos with all Extra . Anyway go back to my garage and starting to take all my aftermarket stuff out. I take myne screws for carburettor. I take the air filter out and after 4 hours the bike was stock. And i say ok let's starting one to see everything is ok ? But with out filter. The screw again in one and quarter. I start my bike and I hear to work so difference. I say 😮 i put the filter and the bike can't breathe tha same way. I take the mix screw falf turn more out and my bike work a lot better. Ok i said lets run one in public road. I put second gear i open the throttle and whellie coming.i put 3 d the same 4 th tha same 😮 i said wat a fuck?? I spoke with my dealer i send them what probably was the problem no answer me never they read the message and nothing. And now i don't know what i do !! To give it ot no ? Was this the reason they burned my sparks or is something else ? They time pressure me. And i love my bike but I can't be sure they don't brake my sparks again. You have some experience of this ? Thanks

Based on what you're saying it seems to be running to rich. Make sure the air filter is oiled with air filter oil. Then check the jetting ( Main, pilot, and needle) and make sure it matches the factory manual settings. They are a good place to start. See how that goes.
