So we have an engine that was 41hp already factory detuned from 51hp and with my exhaust modifications I've let loose another 16hp. On the bright side it cruises nicely at 70 mph and is likely not under a great deal of stress. 🧐

Any guesses on the real hp? Beta 300cc x trainer 2 stroke single, 41bhp standard. Has non tuned exhaust, running a tiny bit rich and gearing is high. I'll update tomorrow with JG scooters Dyno test. 😁

And off she goes 😎

Just prior to first road test. Beta 300 xt

Snagging list so far: gearing is off, cooling not working, speedo not working, charging system not working, too much travel in the gear change, mirrors loose.

Hopefully sort most of this on Monday and have another test, all good fun but in all honesty I have been sorely tested building this, and without the help of lots of friends it would be just another unfinished project at the back of the garage
