Great video, correct me if im wrong, but would the seperat oil system not help increase the amount of hours u can go before needing an oil change if im lets say, riding a bit of back roads, and around town and such?
Yes, the separate oil system can indeed help extend the interval between oil changes, especially when riding on less demanding terrain like back roads and around town. In Beta’s two-oil system, one reservoir is dedicated to the engine oil, and the other to the transmission oil. This separation can help reduce contamination of the engine oil by keeping clutch particles and other debris from the transmission away from the engine. For less intensive riding (as opposed to aggressive off-road racing or enduro use), the engine and transmission oils don’t get as stressed, so you can typically go longer between changes compared to a bike with a shared oil system under similar conditions. That said, while the two-oil system allows more flexibility, it’s still wise to follow Beta’s recommendations and keep an eye on the oil’s color and viscosity, as conditions can vary greatly. Regular maintenance is key to keeping these bikes in top shape, but the separate system is indeed a plus for less intensive, day-to-day rides.
Great video. I also own a 2024 Beta 390RR Race. I noticed you run a Seats Concepts complete seat. What height is it. Low, Standard or high. Thanks for your help.
Great question! Pre-soaking the oil filter can help minimize a dry start, especially in high-performance engines like the Beta 4-Stroke. While it’s not always necessary, it can be a good extra step for added peace of mind. In our video, we focus on the standard process, but it’s definitely worth considering depending on your preferences and riding conditions!
I took my 390rrs to the dealership to have the ecu up dated and they told me to run the engine and add oil to the top of the site glass per the new beta buliten from beta
From Beta's service bulletin: "Engine Side: start by filling with 650 cc, start engine, check level in the sight glass with the bike running and in an upright position. Top off oil to fill 75% of the sight glass. (Oil level should be ¾ of the way up the sight glass.) The final amount should be between 700-750cc."
Hard to focus on the information when Matt is so cute but this was very informative!! Thanks for the easy step by step.
Glad it was helpful!
Didn’t know the Betas had split cases until this video. Super neat to watch. Great video!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for the informational video Matt!

Hello, thank you for taking the time to watch! Matt's seat concepts seat is the standard height.
Do you ever pre soak the oil filter for less of a dry start?
