How do you like the Sherco c/w your Beta? I understand the front of the bike feels really low. Is that just because the bar bend is low or is it because of a lower steers stem? Also, specifically, how does the motor c/w the Beta? Thanks
So the Sherco has a lot tighter turning radius, that with other Ergo factors make the bike feel significantly more nimble in the tight stuff. You do feel like your up high over the bars adding to the sensation of a small nimble bike. The motor seems to have the low end grunt advantage over the Beta. Having said that the Beta motor is it's strong suit, overall as Beta advertises "Rideability" the motor is a pleasure to ride, its just smooth great sounding useable power.
Only problem I have had with the sc2 on my beta is on a fire road going from trail to trail if I really let it run it will fall on its face going in to 4th gear but only when giving it all it has. I’m at 600 feet elevation and smart carb gave it to me at 76 clicks I am now at 90.
Interesting - I am probably never giving this bike all it has when I go into 4th that’s for sure. Maybe one day when I get into some more open desert ripping. I am currently at 118 clicks and it seems perfect. See latest video Bits n Pieces I feel the bike is dialed in. Makes me wonder if all my clicks registered but wherever it is, seems perfect.
@@sxsmarine4075 actually 66:1 - I have a trials bike that calls for that so instead of running the sherco 2T at the manual requested 50:1 I just run it at 66:1 but the oil can apparently be used as low as 100:1 so I think its fine.
Well when I bought my SC2 I wasn’t aware of the billetron - not sure it was available then. I was only aware of the previous lectron and I wanted the super easy tuning with one knob like the SC2 provides
For me it’s a must. I know the stock carb is good but I love peace of mind from 40 degrees down to close to freezing or elevation change. But even without all that the extra fuel economy is worth the price of admission.
@@thesmoness I had the Smart carb for a while then changed over to a 38 keihin carburetor with the stick and JD jetting works flawles I just couldn't get the smart carb dialed in for bottom and top end at the same time.
@@thesmoness Yes the 36 is stock the company that sells the stic recommended the 38..I ran both but liked the 38 better and the stic also is supposed to adjust for different altitudes..
Sounds like you are running lean? I feel like I have my SC2 tuned pretty well for 0-600m for local riding. But if I go higher I need to give if 2-3 turns leaner.

Seems to have great lugging torque. U got Gnarly Torque pipe?
Yes the factory bike comes with a gnarly
What were the additional costs to get the Smart Carb to Canada? Thanks Nick
It’s about 1k Canadian by the time you pay for shipping and everything :( but at least I’ve been moving it from bike to bike

@@thesmoness I could go more clicks but alittle rich is ok to me. I don’t feel much of a difference
@@sxsmarine4075 yah could just be in the amount of spooge on the pipe
@@thesmoness you running 32:1 or 50:1

Why did you get the sc2 over a lectron billetron?
Well when I bought my SC2 I wasn’t aware of the billetron - not sure it was available then. I was only aware of the previous lectron and I wanted the super easy tuning with one knob like the SC2 provides
im having a hell of a time with my smartcarb. the initial clicker count is not even close on a stock mc85
Yah I am at 120 clicks which is around 40 clicks Leander than the states default settings. Do not be afraid to go way leaner
Opinion on SC2 on the 22 SE 300?

@@kellyketrenos4073 38 is interesting - isn't the stock carb 36?

That is a deep sounding two stroke. Weirds me out tbh...
You don't seem to have any pipe bang/decel surge that I can notice. I have the same bike with SC2 and the pipe bang is bad
