Falling in love with the Beta 390 RR/S

I have about 25 hours on the 2023 Beta 390 and and loving it more and more every time I take it out. Went out on some mountain bike trails as well as some aggressive climbs and this bike impresses me more every time I get on it. Not enough to say I love it more than my 300's, but it is my favorite 4 stroke I have ever owned.

Right on bro I appreciate these videos because this is exactly the type of riding I want to do and I’ve been looking at a 390

Thanks for posting the 390 videos. Keep them coming. I have a Beta also and live in the same area. It's cool to see all the places you go. They are all familiar to me.

This is my next bike 🏍 thanks for posting was thinking about the CRF300 or the KLX300.....but im going for the whole thing .

[@Hi808trailriders]

Nice trails, I love my 390. The bike is so versatile. My only complaint is it gets hot faster than my 300 2 stroke. But it'll go anywhere my 300 can, I just have to let the bike rest more often.

I completely agree, even with the rad fan.

@@rawmotors you can put the race map, keeping OEM exhaust. You will be on more rich side, sucking a bit more fuel, but it works super great :) This with +200 rpms idling will make your bike running far cooler ( yes higher rpms seems a bit contradictory, but maybe pump flow works a bit more ). i can go on idling on 1 and 2 smothly without any stalling and never had a flame out too :) You seem to be a 2 strokes guy , you are blippppppping a lot ;) have nice rides, thanks for video !

Thanks for posting these videos of the 390. I keep thinking about getting one. They have a new 2024 sitting at my local dealer I might pick up next week. I really just want a street legal 4 stroke trail bike. I have a Xtrainer and 300 RR now, but I’m not a super fan of the 2 stroke for the type of riding I find myself doing. I saw your other video. Are you getting 100 miles to a tank pretty comfortably, even on the trails?

I have a 2020 390RR-S and love it for what it is, a terrific dual sport bike. I still ride my 300XC-W for fun.

[@babar69110]

knowing how action cam flattens everything, you did good steep parts !

[@WadeMade]

Nice video, I just got back from a beta demo day and really liked the 390rs. It has plenty of power on the woods track we rode with tons a smooth torque but if you don't mind, how does it cruise on the road at around 55-65mph? Did it still feel like it has good power there or does it feel lacking. Thanks.

[@babar69110]

Have a 390rr 2019. 13/50 for enduro, 15/50 for more long tarmac liaisons... Wirh 13/50 i m around 75 km/h , i don't care asI only take small roads, even for long travels. With 15/50 it is ok to get around 80 /85 kmh all day but off road you will need more often the 1st gear, and start bike on steep climbs after a stop will need some clutch .... Planning next long trip off road in different countries, flat Kazakhstan , mountainous Georgia, turkey parts, etc... I'm used to swap in between 2 different front sprockets, I will maybe test 12/45 and 15/45 ( 3.75 and 3.0 ratio) , so shorter gear and longer gear than my usual 13/50 //15/50 (3.85 and 3.22 ratio) Changing from 13 to 15 with 50 uses same chain length, so it is a fast process. Have to check if it is same with shorter chain of 45 back. For possible overheat , I wired a 3 ways switch, pos 1 forced ON, pos 2 auto, pos 3 off ( not to solicit the battery when restarting). I run a Race map but I kept the OEM exhaust , so it is super rich, but runs cooler and is just a monster ;) . +200 rpms map, night and day for technical, it prevents any flame /stall, and starts great in super hot or super cool wheater. Really mandatory IMHO And of course a cheap reg rec shindingen imitation from ebay which gives me constant 14.50 volts, whatever is in use ( fan + 55w beam, etc;..)

@@babar69110 Thanks for all the info that helps a lot.

I looking at the 430 RR-s and the Ktm 500 exc-f, I feel the KTM is kinda clogged up, tires need to be changed. Beta seems to be unclogged, good tires, GPS, etc. More bang for the buck. One year warranty is a plus. Im 50/50 still. Maybe im thinking too much.

[@WadeMade]

I just road the 430rr at a beta event. It was awesome with tons of power. The 480rr was awesome as well but it's power is very much smoother than the 430.

[@babar69110]

excf is and will feel lighter but the Beta will be far easier and more efficient for a non pro rider. Beta has some weight on front, which makes it planted on ground ( and so not so easy to wheelie up ) and not the best turning radius, but pulling out stop screws makes it better . If not making super fast rally raids or open spaces, better lower triple clamps around 3 to 4mm, for better handling and less" chopper " sag..

[@graybilltrent]

Do you have a Recluse clutch on this bike ?

[@JDRmoto]

How does it do on pavement?
