Very Nice bike! Good to here they are starting off on the right foot with the new model. There seems to be a rush on Beta's around here lately. I'm on a Sherco and have ridden a few Beta's and don't see the what all the hoopla is about with that brand. Nice views too btw!

How are the engine vibrations? I've never rode a 300 so I've only read about some 300's vibrating a lot. My 200 doesn't vibrate much.

I noticed a few vibes in the first hour or so of use. But now after about 50 miles of single track I don't feel it at all anymore. Initially only really felt in the footpegs. They quickly went away. Bike is super smooth. Although I need to get this suspension figured quickly. Going to ride the Beta tomorrow until I can some springs for the gasgas.

Les Tinius (LT-Racing) is a very good suspension tuner that is in your neck of the woods (Port Orchard, WA) - he is well known in the gasgas/beta/husky communities.

His website is at www.lt-racing.com

Budd is 2nd to none when it comes to customer service and his suspension work is astonishing. He revalved my 2015 and it's a whole new bike. I am a heavy rider too (260) and I find that springs heavy enough to hold me up tend to make the damping a little wonky. Once you get your big boy springs in, if your still not happy I highly suggest you send it to Budd and let him work his magic. Pricing is half of Stilwell and the other over priced high end shops too.

Hi Markwoodlief

Hope you're enjoying your new bike.

How's the bike jetting feel straight from the factory?

Can you tell me (or anyone else) the standard carb settings?

Pilot Jet?
Needle?
Slide no.?
Main Jet?

Thanks, Dave.

OK, just downloaded the 2018 manual and found it actually lists the carb setup.

Pilot Jet 42
Needle N1EF
Slide no. 7
Main Jet 175

Still interested to know how it feels?

Thanks, Dave.
