Im hopefully going to get one this year , once ive sold a couple of my fantic 240 pros , i too have heard a few issues but i think (imo) it's not a serious enduro bike, more of a greenlainng bike for fun especially if your a shorter rider or old like me. Interesting about the seat. I have a friend who chaned the forks rear suspension, he may as well got the rr.
Nice hope you get one soon 🤘. Yea I agree they aren’t a proper enduro bike initially as the suspension is so soft it’s such a rough ride going fast and the fuel economy is really bad too. If someone keeps its stock I’d use it only for super slow technical trials type riding and hard enduro practise. I get my suspension back with the k-tech upgraded valves and springs front and back so hoping it’s as good as people say and it can soak up some harsh hits! I’m 5ft 5 so I’m making the xtrainer into an enduro bike as everything else is too dam big 😅
First time viewer here and now subscribed. I'm 4 hours into my 24 year model now and loving the smell of 2stroke in the morning 😁 Waiting on a 300RR air filter cage from France at the moment, as Beta UK are all out of stock.
@@dalethomas360 awesome! Made my day this comment thanks! They’re a fun bike aren’t they, how are you finding the front forks? I might might them a little “harder” as I’m just blowing through the stroke at the moment. I’m waiting on mine too, you’ve reminded me to chase it up actually! I can’t remember if I mention it but I hacked away at the stock one for now 👀
Great video I got a 24 x trainer last year, fun bike and I love the smell of 2 stroke 😊 at least your speedo lasted longer than mine, it stopped working after 1 hour. It was the cable connection coming loose behind the light for future reference. I’ve now cable tied it to hold it tight. Apparently it’s a common thing 🙈
Thanks! Yea I’ve definitely gone to the dark side from the 4 stroke 👀. Cant beat the smell can you. Haha yes I’ve already discovered how crap the connections behind the head light are, I took the headlight cowl off to disconnect the indicator switch and accidentally pulled the starter button connection block out 😅🤦♂️. Can’t wait to get back out on it! I’ve got the suspension booked in for in 2 weeks time 👌
Yeah looking forward to getting out more this year on mine,done a few mods mainly protection as I like falling off 🙈axp radiator braces axp sump guard and procarbon exhaust guard and a rubber wrap on the tail pipe. I also went with Acerbis wrap around hand guards. I won’t be doing much else as for my ability it’s fast and dangerous enough 🤣 great video looking forward to seeing future videos and what mods you do. 👍
That is a lot of protection! I’ve not really thought about protection apart from an exhaust one. Maybe I should look into it 👀. I’ll get a video up as soon as the k-techs are in!
love the new bike dude enjoy! I swapped from yam to beta and absolutely love the beta so far. no idea how tall you are but im a short ar$e and got my suspension professional lowered feels 10x better for me. Would recommend it
Cheers! 🤘🤘 looks like we did a similar journey, my fantic was a WR250. I do miss its suspension though 😅. I’m a hobbit that’s why I went for it! 5ft 5 🙌. Im getting a few prices together for k-tech
First of all... Happy Christmas and New Year buddy to you and your family!! I'm chuffed to bits for you on your new purchase, it bloody flies. I checked as the self appointed Ambassador with accounts... your misses 😂😂😂 and the new Beta 300 is a go!! Enjoy it buddy and looking forward to what you do with/to it!! 👍👍👍👍
Happy Christmas to you too Julian! Yes! Finally got the xtrainer! Although I wasn’t really planning on getting a new one 😅. Looking forward to doing the bits to it and getting some videos up. As always thank you for your comments on the videos this year. Looking forward to what next year has! 🙌🤘
Beta friend :) i love mine, suspnsion is good once u get it bed in and setup, i put mid bars on mine, the stock bars felt very low Turn your idle up a bit it will stop it stalling on you Happy new bike day :)
I think I like how low the bats are for now but I’ll definitely be getting the ktech valves and new shock. There’s zero high speed impact dampening! My wrists were killing 🤣. Such a fun bike though. Thanks for the comment!
@ it connects to bredbury hall. You can get down towards dobbies garden centre that way on a push bike but I’m not sure it’s a road 😅 Bredbury is right near me but I hate riding on the roads to get to Marple. I’ll investigate that link road to see if it’s possible.
If I had it my way I’d have heavy metal but that pleases about 2% of everyone so I meet in the middle with hip hop and mainly instrumentals. Happy to take requests though 😅 people only usually say it’s crap when it’s heavy metal.
Ah nice! Seems like there’s a little xtrainer community! Yea this will be the main bike. I’ll be documenting the changes and what I think of them too. Hoping to get this bike into a complete weapon!
@zcmx I sold my KLX and wanted something smaller an lighter for my gf an my mates to have a go on cos I'm always trying to get people out on the bikes haha. Seems a lot of fun but only done 30 mins or so on part of the Abram Mx track. Love how light it is gives confidence. Good luck with it. I reckon the newer ones be even better than the 2017 think they made the power curve a bit smoother
My mate has the KLX. Took it to cowm with me and smashed the engine case on the first fall 😬. 30 mins!?!? If you’ve been to abrams you must but nearish to me. Give me a shout on Instagram if you’re heading out for a ride. Always up for cowm, tong or wern Ddu too.
@@zcmx ah shit bet he's gutted. I like the KLX but just too heavy an slow. I done one lap of the enduro on my husky, then stopped cos it was too muddy it does my head in when it's that bad. So I done 30 mins MX on the beta an a bit longer on the husky just to get some seat time in I'm on the Wirral, I go out with 2 lads from Leeds an a lad from Liverpool deffo up for going out every wkend mate. I'd like to try mid Wales stubble cross as well have you done that before?
@@matthewellison5814ah nice which husky? The enduro? I fancy a TC for MX. I couldn’t imagine doing MX on my xtrainer it’s so soft! Give me a shout! Instagram name is zcmx as well 🤘🤘. You can witness my awful riding in person then 🤣
I’ve emailed ktech about the orvs’s. I was planning on changing the jet when I do the pipe. But to be honest I’m not sure when that is going to happen as the suspension is taking priority for sure! I adjusted the air screw and it ticks over in gear now 👌 there’s a slight drag on the clutch when in gear
What a lot of drivall ! One of the most pointless uninformative reviews I've ever endured. Lack of communication skills comes to mind 😐 Shame , because I was genuinely interested in hearing about the bike, from someone who knew what he was talking about.
@@tomlowe4585 😂😂😂😂😂 thank you for your lovely comment. I will do a very serious review instead of my usual light hearted style videos just for you Tom. 😉 Maybe the verdict but might be more informative than the bulk but I’d probably prefer you didn’t watch it 😅

@zcmx when you're finished doing it up, it won't be a beta 300...it will be a better 300🤣🤣🤣
@@JulianOLeary-nv5nchaha I love a dad joke but that’s too far 🤣
lovely bike ,saving up for one myself,keep the upgrade videos coming please .
It is! Don’t worry I will be doing a video as soon as I’ve done the suspension 🤘🤘

Literally doing these lanes starting at Bredbury, in the morning.
Hope it’s not too cold for you! I’m tempted to head out for a quick blast again today but a little later
Forgot to add, do you cut through black & white farm / bredbury hall to Marple?
@@zcmx just about to leave northwich (in car)
Is that the farm that takes you up the hill near the pub? If so, I couldn’t work out if you can or not?
@ it connects to bredbury hall. You can get down towards dobbies garden centre that way on a push bike but I’m not sure it’s a road 😅 Bredbury is right near me but I hate riding on the roads to get to Marple. I’ll investigate that link road to see if it’s possible.
@ we’ll be at flash bar for 10 I guess, if you did want to venture out. Just about to fire up.
Thanks for sharing, however your music choice..??
If I had it my way I’d have heavy metal but that pleases about 2% of everyone so I meet in the middle with hip hop and mainly instrumentals.
Happy to take requests though 😅 people only usually say it’s crap when it’s heavy metal.
@@zcmx it's all good. I'm an older grumpy guy so I'm not much for the grunge/heavy metal stuff. LOL Keep up the great vids!!
@ ha, I’m sure I spotted some 70’s rock in the library. I’ve just edited a video but I’ll add some in the next if you like😅👌
I got a 2017 a few weeks ago. Great fun dont think ill ever use it for lanes though cant imagine its great on the roads 😂 is that your main bike now?
Ah nice! Seems like there’s a little xtrainer community! Yea this will be the main bike. I’ll be documenting the changes and what I think of them too. Hoping to get this bike into a complete weapon!

Are you going to get a number plate for the bike? 😂
@@701Adventures haha 👀 nothing getting past you is there! I’ve now got a small plate on there 👌 a big daft one looked daft for the video
@ I’m an ex Traffic Officer, I miss nothing 😂
I only use a small plate on mine, it’s been on nearly two years and no dramas at all. 👍
@@701Adventureshaha well that makes sense with the eagle eyes!
Yea I’ve never had an issue with the fantic. 🤞
K tech orvs adjust your tick over screw and an necj float needle for the poor fuel economy
I’ve emailed ktech about the orvs’s. I was planning on changing the jet when I do the pipe. But to be honest I’m not sure when that is going to happen as the suspension is taking priority for sure!
I adjusted the air screw and it ticks over in gear now 👌 there’s a slight drag on the clutch when in gear
There’s a lad called gbmx suspension he does loads of orvs
Awesome thanks for the info! I’ll give him a shout as I’d like to be able to use my wrists after my next ride 😂
