I think the 390 would be a perfect bike for that. I've rode all sorts of different terrain on it and it does wonderful. I have even ridden it to work and back a few times as well (7 miles of backroads) and it does great. I don't think you would want be cruising down the highway for an extended period of time without changing gearing but it works just fine. It's practically street legal out of the box too. The only weakness for me is when it comes to dead engine starts in harescrambles (takes a few seconds to light up) and the fact that it doesn't come with a cooling fan from the factory, which is not a big deal really as they are easy to install and not that expensive. I would also recommend getting a bigger fuel tank if you plan on doing the tour of Idaho on it. Oh, and if you plan to put pannier bags on it, some makeshift heat shields for the exhaust would be much needed. Cheers!

I have never had an issue with ground clearance! Could always upgrade to a better skid plate with linkage protection if needed.

I was running a Motoz Tractionator in the rear at about 20 psi if i remember correctly.

@@Pman4747 I have MotOz RallZ Rear, Mitas Enduro XT+ front. I’ll have a vid up tomo of me attempting red cone on my channel if you want to see me struggle. Also have Rally Raid by Tractive… should of probably lowered my Comp more… that setup up likes the bike moving fast

Do whatever makes you happy. I bought mine without ever test riding one and I love it. I feel it is a bike that anyone could ride with no issues. I sometimes wonder if I would have had more or less fun on a 350 or 450 KTM, Husky, GasGas, etc and I have no idea! Cheers!

@@Pman4747 Wished there was a dealer closer than 4 hours away. But I may just make that drive.

Thanks for the feedback! Apart from a few minor suspension upgrades and possibly brakes... the only thing holding me back is me! The bike is far more capable than I am. I tend to ride on the cautious side, I could definitely be faster.

I was quickly informed by some other riders that day! Was my first time exploring colorado on a bike, I did not know the rules as I'm a dumb flat lander from Illinois. I thought avoiding a rough patch of trail would be okay, but it wasn't. Next time I will be more cautious. Thanks!

@@Pman4747 No worries, we are made mistakes for not knowing the rules. The good thing is, you have the right attitude to understand it. Safe rides!

I am running the stock gearing. 13/49. Thanks!

This is the 23! Just got the 24 headlight, fender, and fork guards.

@@Pman4747 Oh nice!!! I'd like to snag a 2024 and my plan is to come up and ride the Cahokia Enduro with y'all on June 2nd!!! Your videos got me hooked on that trail. Looks awesome!

Yep! I just use the gold screws

Check out amadistrict17.com for the 24 schedule!

That tight gnarly stuff WAS the good stuff! That's some sweet riding

Thanks! Man, I wish that was AA riding! I placed 3rd in Open B at that race. Maybe A this year!

@@Pman4747 Nicely done! You just don't seem to make mistakes. Very nice riding. Did you end up doing anything with the suspension on your bike? I ride A but I'm hearing even some AA guys say the Race Edition is valved stiff. Not sure what model I'd enjoy for your type of riding.

@@djarecke Since I always have to work on Monday, I don't push myself as hard as I used to! Trying to decide whether to race A or B again this season.. But no I haven't made any modifications to the suspension other than raising the forks in the triple clamps a bit. I also run a few clicks STIFFER than the race settings on the KYB setup sheet found on Betas website. For just trail riding and putting around, it is quite stiff. I feel like its perfect for me during a race however. I weigh about 165 lbs.

With the IMS 3.5 gallon, I would guess about 45 or 50 per tank at race pace.

@@Pman4747you mean per gallon right? 45miles a tank????

Bike is perfect all around in my opinion, best 4 stroke I've had. Only issue I've had was a fuel line came apart inside the fuel tank, but that was my own fault!

Great to watch. That Beta soundtrack is fantastic. I’ve heard beta’s may not be as agile as some competitors in tight stuff. What’s your feeling on that?

@@VignesLVG I would agree it is not as agile as some other bikes (steering radius gets cut short due to the forks hitting the radiators). I was able to modify it to work better and i have no issues. On super tight corners, I have learned to slide into them or pivot turn if needed. At high speeds, it is more stable than any other bike I've rode. However, they did fix that issue on the 24 models.

⁠​⁠@@Pman4747can you please share what did you modify to get more steering?

Yes stock gearing.

Yep!

@Pman4747 I was in same row as you, you were getting it I couldn't keep up. I hit tree about couple miles before finish thought broke leg and dnf. Was great day till then.

@@rwalden1999 Ah man that's no good buddy! Hope it heals up quick! Was definitely a fun day, one of my favorite races of the year. Hope to see you next year!

It was!! haha

Thanks for watching and for the feedback! In my opinion, it is one of the best Enduros of the year in my area. I always have fun there! Last year was super dry, shouldn't be so bad this year. I will definitely be there, coming up this Sunday!

The 390 is a whole different animal compared to the 250xc. I still have the 250xc but can't seem to get off the 390. So much fun to ride. Smooth as butter, plenty of power, not as fast as the 250 but I am faster on it. Doesn't beat me up as bad either on a 2 or 3 hour race. It really shines in corners and the rough stuff. I would definitely recommend one. Keep in mind they weigh more, require more maintenance, and get a little hotter when you are going slow. Oh, and your 2 stroke friends will all make fun of you!! But they can't keep up...

I thought it was absolutely perfect. It's meant for stuff like this!

stock gearing. 13/49

@@Pman4747 thanks for getting back to me

That's awesome, Dennis. I'm sure it would!

BLAH BLAH BLAH

The KYB forks are quite stiff but perfect for my type of riding. передняя вилка довольно жесткая. отлично подходит для моего стиля катания. Может быть не так удобно для трейловой езды.

​@@Pman4747 do you think if I change spring on stock will they be similar as kyb ?

@@Alda06121 on a regular RR model? I believe the shock is already similar to kyb. It is the forks that are different. The Sachs are open cartridge where the kyb are closed cartridge forks. Spring should only be changed if you weigh more or less than the factory spring is rated for.

@@Pman4747Ok, thank you

Might be, but the tree root that you can't see is the real reason I think 😂

Get it done!
