How do you make the very unique and capable Beta X-Trainer 300 even better? We had a chat with Ballard's Off Road's Geoff Ballard to find out the mods he's done to his 300, and why he's calling this X-Trainer 'the bike that always puts a smile on your face, especially when it gets gnarly as"

Had my 2022 xt for a year now. Brilliant bike, ride lots of green laning in the UK. Simple job to change front sprocket. I use 15t for laning where there is some road work and have covered up to 90 miles before reserve, power valve fully out. Also ridden it in 7 trials competitions but only on the easiest route as the turning radius is not tight enough for middle route sections and that's with steering stops removed and forks raised in clamps and bars rolled forward a bit. Use either an 11 or 12t front and wind the power valve in 1 to 1.5 turns to slow things down a little. Maxxis trialsmax tyres with 10psi front and 8 rear. No reliability issues in 900 miles.

I really appreciate your insight and honest views. I’ve just picked up my 22’ XT which still has 0 miles. That will change very soon, thanks again. 👍🏻

Hi so 300rr exhaust pipe fits on the xtrainer or no. Did you have to jet the carb.

Curious if you had to rejet the carb as mentioned below? I have a 18' XT and been on the fence about putting a pipe on it. Would like a little bit more top end. Great video!

Watch the thermostat, it will rub through the radiator and cause a leak. The breather on the fuel cap comes off easily and sprays fuel on you as the nipple has no bead, I lock wired mine. I also lock wired the stand bolt as even with loctite it came loose. Added an in-line filter as I kept getting overflows from crap in the needle and seat.

I had an xt and my opinion of the shock and fork is that they are garbage. The motor is good, it has a different kind of weird handling characteristic. In tight stuff the front end hunts and that's more prominent at speeds. Also, it pushes during on the throttle exiting corners. That said, it works fairly well at slow tech speeds. My buddy has one with wp open cart forks valved for single track. And a Lanier shock, extended 3mm. His bike rides more like a regular bike....its pretty good.

@@juledoren Late to the game....but I just got in line for a '22XT. I think it'll be perfect for a 60 Y.O. with two fake knees and a twisted spine. I've been shopping for a KLX300 but they seem unobtainable for anywhere near MSRP. I'll be in the Beta $1000 more than the jacked up price of the Kawasaki.....for a LOT more bike. (Or a lot less if we're talking weight..lol!!) Dealer said May....can't wait!!

why not just buy the rr if your changing it up with rr parts and changing the characteristics of the design of machine... just buy rr

It's too stiff. Made for the track, and you can't tractor it quite like the Xtrainer. Also, the whole RR frame is larger and the bike is taller, which means I can't put both feet down when I'm on a slope in the woods.
