The Shlog

[@Shelby8371]

These shlogs I can’t get enough of. Absolutely brilliant content. Morgan you kick ass on all those wannabe mechanics and dirt bike channel kooks.

[@highlandcycles]

Thanks so much.

[@richardhartley7094]

Absolutely 👍👍

[@SCakey]

Love the schlogs and man ya sold me on the RK Tek heads, folks think I purely got it for power but I'm like, "This bike just runs amazingly with it..." It feels so clean running.

[@jamesg2343]

Thanks for shlog #252

[@zachfarkash6430]

Good stuff Morgan. Ill be calling you tomorrow about my 89CR250R front suspension upgrade

[@painsrides3616]

Good to have the Shlog back 👍 (oh man, I sure wish KZbin had a thumbs-up emoji with a crooked thumb... 🤣)

[@highlandcycles]

🤣😂👍🏻

[@ssteveo313]

The 250 and 300 have a separate drain bolt with the copper washer the 200 is the the one you pointed too first. Also beta has all there manuals downloadable for free on there website in the support section. Including the service manuals.

[@highlandcycles]

Great info

[@philipsmith6152]

Great video

[@highlandcycles]

Thanks

Ski-Doo E-tec Shot start uses the magneto as a starter with a capacitor and Honda has a scooter with a starter/mag that auto starts when you turn the throttle.

[@highlandcycles]

Cool. I would love to see KTM or another modern bike do it. It’s probably heavy though

[@MitchOfCanada]

on the xcs definitely wire it to the headlight circuit so it only runs when the bike is on. Love the way sherco has them turn on around 170F with the relay on the Head.

[@highlandcycles]

170? That seems low to me. On the newer XC’s they don’t have lights or the wires for them unfortunately. That’s why I used a true north Motos harness for my light and fan so it turns off when the main relay turns off.

[@NorthWestMotos]

No drain bolt for the coolant? Sounds very Italian. Still, those Beta's are pretty sweet!

[@nathangraves9133]

The service manual indicates to remove the bolt you pointed to in order to drain the coolant. I'm assuming the little arrow on the housing was Beta's way of saying "drain here"

[@highlandcycles]

Just seems crazy that it doesn’t have a copper washer

[@beverlyboys73]

Crack torch? Did you borrow it from my neighbors 3 doors down? 🤘

[@highlandcycles]

Hahaba

[@KTM-N8]

Right side oil pump

[@200xcBruce]

Coolant drain is the lower right bolt at about the 5 o'clock position. May want to try a NECJ needle in the beta. Wow he had way too lean jetting no wonder it ran weak. 162 main is stock and RK had me go to 172 but we are at lower elevation. 38 to 40 pilot here.

[@highlandcycles]

The 162 is what Kelsey recommended for up here. I like the N8RH needle here

[@d.brayman3165]

Great video! On the subject of RK Tek heads, do you happen to remember the starting point jetting for the YZ250? I'm on the struggle bus. Thanks.

[@highlandcycles]

I know that we went up 2 or 3 sizes on the main. One on the pilot and then I like the N8RH needle.

[@d.brayman3165]

@@highlandcycles Gives me a starting point, Thanks, Morgan. She's almost done. I'll get some seat time and probably bring her to you for the bouncy parts.

[@richardhartley7094]

👍👍

[@paulthrelkeld3341]

You mentioned that Extreme moto parts. Does that mean you're getting those parts shipped from Romania or is there a US distributor?

[@highlandcycles]

I get them shipped from Romania. 1sttrack Motorsports in Canada has them and ships to the US though. Go to 1sttrackmoto.com

[@MrJacksmithFTW]

honda pcx have those starters

[@harleycarter3982]

Morgan behind the front number plate is a small like 6 wire plug with rubber cover what is it for?

[@highlandcycles]

Wi-Fi module that we can’t buy yet

[@harleycarter3982]

Dang! Thanks buddy

[@matthewmcallister8845]

How do the Mousse balls hold up in something that sees a bit of road time thats street legal?

[@highlandcycles]

So far really well. Better than a normal mousse

[@mikeschlup5279]

Does increasing the compression change the jetting any?...I guess you answered that question...lol.

[@highlandcycles]

Just compression shouldn’t change it much if any.

[@mikeschlup5279]

​@@highlandcyclesanother reason I asked was I put a slightly higher compression head on my 77 rm 125...gets hot and falls flat on its face...

[@highlandcycles]

@@mikeschlup5279 I that case I’d try going up in the jets

[@mikeschlup5279]

@@highlandcycles too rich...had the stock head on and it decent. Put on a cut down head and now it is so rich it won't run...I am thinking my high rpm stator coil went south. ..maybe 4 hours old. Brand new...drats.

[@highlandcycles]

@@mikeschlup5279 usually when something is getting too hot it means it’s lean but motorcycles can be weird animals

I bought the rnduro clutch and ran it yesterday. I honestly like my Midwest lever more. If you know anyone who wants to buy it for $100 under retail ($300) give me a holler.

[@justincallahan1833]

Where do you live?

[@harleycarter3982]

If it fits xc300 I'll take it! What color?

[@Shelby8371]

Midwest clutch rules!! Love mine. One finger all day
