Thanks for reaching out. The outlet power and ground from the Taco relay has one wire for the ground which I extended near the relay creating three small gauge (20 or 18 gauge) wires for each accessory device. I did the same for the power into the fuse block. I used a butt connector designed for one end accepting a larger wire and then heat shrink protected the non insulated connector. You can find these connectors at some auto parts store, or I get mine from Waytek wire. Here is a link to the connector www.waytekwire.com/catalog/terminals/butt-connectors/external-step-down-butt-connector-38246 Hope this helps!

@@code4performance Thank you!

I completed the Tour of Idaho on this bike in 2022 which consists of miles of single track trails with some being technical. Now I will tell you it is not a hard enduro bike with how I have it set up. Could it be, yes but there are much better bikes for super technical trails. When it gets gnarly I take my 300 2T. Hope this helps. Thank you

Its tight getting the pliers up in there, but as long as the pliers have the crimping ability on the side of the jaws, you can get them in there. It helps if you even remove the shock and mud flap and engine stays and of course the throttle body moved to the side. Hope this helps. Thank you for watching.

Thank you for reaching out!. The lower horsepower is not the concern in my opinion. It would be the higher gearing of the Honda, availability of accessories and guards, etc. Mostly I think it would take too much work to make it worthy trail machine for the terrain and so many miles. Just my opinion is all.

Yes, I did the delete. It will run too cool if you are riding in a cooler climate, so watch your temps to you run the engine at the temp where the ECU keeps the fueling correct. In hot climates or summer riding, it is no problem. The Samco clamps are wide and if you try and get 10 mm of hose protrusion, it will never work. Just make sure the clamps are square and you have the hoses seated fully on the outlet nipples. Make sure the clamp top edge is below the bulge of the outlet nipple. Samco hoses are a great upgrade for sure, well worth the money. Thank you for watching and replying.

@@code4performance thank you!🙏🏻

It is a stock header pipe with a P3 carbon fiber guard. The silencer is an FMFQ4. Thank you

Chris, it was good to meet you and spend some time taking bikes! Come ride again next year! Thank you for watching

Thank you, Brian!

Hello, part number for the elbow boot is 55738061060, part number for the clamp is 00050271708. Thank you for watching.

It’s the Magic Carpet in my opinion. Well built and worth the money. Coupled with a good fork set up, of course. Thank you for watching

Thank you, Jeff!

Yes, it will. If you have an XC without the trip/odometer you won’t need to space it out like I did. There could still be some minor wire relocating involved but the holes are the same on the new chassis. If it’s an EXC or XCw you’ll need to get custom on arranging wires and spacing out the mount. Thank you for watching

Dart mount will fit on your 300

I’ve seen guys mount a slim LED bar under the saw mount, so it can be done. As far as fuel and bar oil goes, I think it depends on your intentions for the ride and time of year. If it’s early season and you’re only going out for a day ride to “clear trail” and you have intel on a lot of downfall, then I’ll pack a backpack with a qt bottle of fuel and a quart of bar oil. Better yet make it a team effort and have buddies with saws:). If I’m going later in the season and likely not needing to use the saw frequently, I’ll carry a syringe marked in CC’s and I’ve come up with the amount needed of 2T oil and inject it into the saw tank and then siphon out of the bikes fuel tank. I then carry a small bottle of bar oil equivalent to the size or close to the saws bar oil tank. Long explanation I know. Thank you for commenting

Thank you for a kind comment. Much appreciated!!

you are correct, this video was prior to all the TOI changes. I had a chain saw mount and 2 Baja S1's mounted on the handguard mounts. Had to take the dash off as well.

@@code4performance You got different configs at least. Nice setups at any rate.

Not sure what you’re referring to. I have a skid plate on the bike. It’s pretty “full” if you ask me. Worked great in my Idaho 13 day ride and a recent 700 mile Baja trip. AXP for the win. Thanks for your comment.

Maybe….

That is a great question and well thought out. The Beta has very similar characteristics as the TPi bike, but much more torque imo. Because of the torque and snappy feel of the Beta, it seemed like it equated to less weight feel. Hope this makes sense. If you could ride a TPi and a Beta back to back you would understand. The TPi is really good for sure and can be ridden all day long and not wear you out as it has such a linear powerband as compared. Thank you for watching and commenting.

In the video and for the build of the bike, it was the OEM battery. If you are asking for a great replacement, you cannot go wrong with the Antigravity. Thanks for watching

I appreciate your input. We will look at getting the billet surround.

To be honest, I did not know about any aftermarket options. Thank you for the tip!

I did not wear either. For day rides I will wear knee guards and a chest protector, but generally that is it. For the TOI, it was just too many miles, day after day, for those things to rub me raw in places....:) and it was a trail ride, not a race. Thanks for watching and reaching out.

Oh shoot! Take the elbow off (the piece I replaced due to cracking) remove the screen and flush out the tank from the filler downward. Replace the elbow after cleaning the screen and you’ll be good to go! Thank you for the comment

This was the first Beta I ever owned. Luckily I’m in a position to upgrade bikes every couple years and when the new TBI came out, it peaked my curiosity so I went with it. I’ve always owned KTMs so it made sense. Nothing really wrong with the Beta other than some fit and finish details and it’s a bit more buzzy with vibrations than the orange bikes. Personal preference really.

Use a 5 amp for the USB, 3 amp for Trail Tech and a 5 amp for the heated grips. Happy Holidays to you as well

Thank You@@code4performance

They cost too much $$$ to not take care of them, right? Thanks for watching.

Yes for sure!

It is always nice to hear a positive comment. Those tires are long gone for sure. Thank you!

Plenty of $$$ for sure, but worth every penny. The bike performed flawlessly for my Tour of Idaho trip last summer. Still have it, adjusted the valves and a few other maintenance needs, but its such a fun bike to ride. Thank you for watching,.

Thank you for commenting. You will not be disappointed with the GET! Enjoy the bike!

Tim, I did make a harness, encased in the typical black sheathing you find on many motorcycles. I purchased the wire sheath from Cycle Terminal.com as well as the fuse block parts. In the harness I ran a wire for battery positive for heated grips, a battery positive for the TT and another for the USB. I then ran a single, 16 gauge ground from the ground lead off the Taco Moto Acces. relay. Once this ground wire reached the area behind the headlight mask, I spliced three smaller ground 18 or 20 gauge wires for the three needed grounds for each accessory. I hope this makes sense? You could also make a ground harness, using a chassis bolt in the area of the ignition coil and take off from there for the grounds. Let me know if you need any clarification.

Appreciate your comment. As a matter of fact about 9:10 in my video I reference adding a fuse block for each circuit. It’s best practice to fuse each circuit, just like your house has each room protected by a breaker. Cheers.

Thanks.

Thanks for watching. I carried bar oil and 2T oil in small, Nalgene bottles. I had figured out ahead of time the approximate ratio of oil per tank of fuel in the saw. Used a small syringe to measure and inject the oil directly into the saw tank. Luckily I didn’t end up needing anymore 2T oil than I carried. I did end up grabbing more bar oil in a town as I ran out. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the information and for watching

@@code4performance what brand is the heated grips?

They are Heat Demon: slavensracing.com/shop/heat-demon-grip-heatershand-warmers-by-symtec/ You will not be able to install these under the ODI lock on grips. I ended up using a glue on style grip and using a Motion Pro throttle tube: slavensracing.com/shop/titan-throttle-tube-for-ktm-husaberg-by-motion-pro/

Rolled into the motel or ABnB so late I just went to bed. Never worried about it to be honest. I guess you could cable lock it to a post or something but really, don’t sweat it.
