When buying a new tank, especially with EFI Bikes, get the dry break style, and then the screw cap assy. you can almost fit 2 hands in them to play with the pumps etc......... or swapping.. Enjoy that bike !!!

[@wherewithalmoto]

Grats on the new bike! I hope it checks all the boxes for you! Can't wait for your first off road ride video!

[@chasingtrail]

Thanks! I think it's a winner. Should have my first ride video up tonight or tomorrow.

[@jeffro5032]

I have raced mx for over 40+ years. Had nothing but Jap bikes until 2017. Went back to 2 strokes for the tracks ( Modded TC125 / 250 ). In my later years here , I'm really interested in these dualsport offroad bikes. I want something that will get me to some very remote camping / fishing spots. And man , these Beta's have really got my attention! Just beautiful! Love your bike my man!

[@urbanadventurer5]

Great build man! That thing looks sweeeet! Looking forward to the videos.

[@chasingtrail]

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

[@TomSlickery]

Dude, that's a sick bike.

[@pilotdane1]

Congrats - Your man cave looks awesome too ! - Way cool new bike !!!!

[@chasingtrail]

Thanks! I watched you latest video last night. Hope all is well. It's going to be 108 here this week, but I'm willing to wager you still have us beat.

How on earth is your garage so beautifully clean? I'm also a HUGE Pug fan (our fawn passed in 2019 and our black 2 months and 29 days ago), and we *might* even drive the same truck AND we both have a T7 in the same damn color. What in the world.

[@chasingtrail]

My garage was a mess just one year ago. My wife is a bit of a hoarder and I needed room for toys, so I committed to reorganizing everything. I also owned basically no tools. So, I moved everything around, bought some shelves, got my wife to get rid of some stuff, and spent a small fortune on tools since I was basically starting from scratch. My wife has also agreed to park the van outside if it comes to that, but our current setup is working for now. I get a lot of shit for my diet-truck from my friends. My dad, a retired veterinarian (who also has pugs), calls it the Ridgling, which is the term for a horse with an undescended testicle. As for the T7, what can I say, you have good taste!

I got a dent on the side of the pipe where your e line thing is. I got a cheap pipe guard on e bay that's shorter and only covers the side. Yours may look a bit off if you really look at it but from experience I'm sure it can help. It's easy for the pipe to get dented if dropped into a rock

[@chasingtrail]

Right on, prob saved a bunch of the E-Line as well.

[@billcotton1551]

It looks great. Hope it is your unicorn bike.

And I've been doing some crazy stuff on my bike not even installing a skid plate 😅

[@randywestrum6416]

Hey Mike, THX for sharing your build. Close to finishing a similar build on a 500. I’ve got about 375 miles racked up at this point. My OEM gas tank provides a range of about 45 miles out and 45 back from my house. Trying to decide on the 3.4 or 5.2 tanks. What kind of range are you seeing?

[@chasingtrail]

I got about 42 mpg.

[@customjrod]

Are you still liking the bike.

[@AKAOmnivore]

Interesting, your tach was jumping all over the place, same as my 500RR-S. I was told the dealer needed to reset it to stop it from doing that.

[@chasingtrail]

Yeah, another viewer pointed this out to me. I ended up figuring it out. You have to go into the settings on the Voyager and change the PPR value. By default it's setup for 2T motors, and they commonly forget to change it from the factory for 4T motors. If I remember correctly the setting you want is 1/2 or 0.5. You have to scroll up or down to find that value as it's not immediately visible when you change the value. My tach works perfectly now. Easy fix once you find the setting buried in the Voyager. Here's a link to the manual: cdn1.polaris.com/globalassets/trail-tech/2020/home/pdf/9000-manual.pdf?v=834b4d71

[@AKAOmnivore]

@@chasingtrail Awesome!! Thank you for pointing out it was the PPR setting, found it and fixed it, I also had to move sensitivity to Low from high.

[@chasingtrail]

@@AKAOmnivore Excellent, and good call on the sensitivity, I remember now I also adjusted mine to low, but had forgotten about that. Glad you got it sorted!

What model number did you purchase on that Protaper brake lever? Thanks.

[@EricBanner571]

Why did you sell it? Any issues or things you did not like. I'm looking at a 430RRS. Thanks

[@chasingtrail]

I needed cash at the time. I also just go through a lot of bikes. Only issue I had was it could be a little hard to start when it was hot. I can heartily recommend it though if you're considering one, great bike.

[@tobaccofarmer4life]

Was wondering what made you choose the 430 vs the 500? I’m not all that familiar with betas, but very interested in learning as much as possible . Nice build for sure !

[@chasingtrail]

I'd ridden a friend's 430 and knew exactly what it was. It also has a bit more character in the motor with a nice mid-range punch. The 500 is definitely more popular and probably the better overall choice, especially if you'll be spending time on pavement. The 430 was the right choice for me, but I don't think you can go wrong either way. On a side note, do you farm tobacco for Copenhagen, and if so, can you get me cans for less than $9? Prices in CA are outrageous.

[@tobaccofarmer4life]

@@chasingtrail No, got out of it while back however we used to grow flue cured primarily for domestic cigarettes . I myself have switched to rogue pouches completely spit free/clean and under 4 bucks a can online.

[@geofffelsing1283]

How much higher is the seat concept TALL then the stock seat height? just in foam?

[@chasingtrail]

I think it's just foam. I wanted the extra padding. My buddy has the low seat and it's like sitting on a 2x6, as opposed to the stock seat which is a 2x4.

[@geofffelsing1283]

@@chasingtrail So get the same one as you?

[@chasingtrail]

@@geofffelsing1283 Seats are a highly subjective thing, so I can't really answer that. I like to sit down a lot, so I appreciate the extra padding in the tall seat. At 6'1" with a 32" inseam I had no problem flat-footing the bike. My friend who is 5'8" needed the lower seat height to feel comfortable.

@@chasingtrail tall seat it is thanks for your help and the bike looks sick; lets see some trail vids.

[@patriotvet5569]

What kind of range do you get out of the tank?

[@chasingtrail]

About 43 mpg, so 150 tops. I wouldn't plan on going over 120 to be safe.

[@patriotvet5569]

@@chasingtrail great to know and thanks for the fast response. I am looking very seriously at buying a 390 or a 430 after literally just wrecking my Enduro last Friday. My wife isn’t too happy about me looking for a new bike with a broken scapula and six broken ribs. lol what do you do?

Not sure on the rally towers, but I'm guessing someone out there makes one. Total OTD for the bike was $12,800 and I spent another $2,250 or so on accessories.
