TE/TC I got mine, TE300 finally.

First day of me really riding the thing with Mitch and his Beta300RR

Looks Good Rob

Very nice Rob!

+ 1 great looking bike.

gear is all ready torn and tattered from yesterdays ride and i did tweak the pipe all ready, but its a no worries tweak. the MX51s worked good in the rocks and trail trash they threw at us yesterday, I ran 13f and 12 rear to be safe.

Fact, the ergos of the TE300 fit my big arse better than the compact TXC310R.

just before unloading on day 2 of riding (this time in BC Mexico) my truck with 2 EU beauties in the back ready to go hammer out miles of tough single track

Nice bike, is it able to be street legal ? I see a tag on the other bike .

How does the weight compare to the Beta ? I rode a 14 Beta 300 last weekend and was surprised at how heavy it felt compared to my TXC 310. Still a really nice bike. I don't have the skill to deal with 300 twostroke power. It was the smoothest 300 and easiest to ride 300 I have been on.

IDK I have not weighed the thing yet I will once I get all the bling installed and weigh her race ready with fuel.

For what it's worth, my WR300 claims to be 227 lb "kurb weight without fuel" in the owner's manual, which presumably includes all the other fluids. With the 2.5 gallon tank full, that would make it 242 wet and ready to ride. I have weighed mine, and I got ~260 pounds the way I ride it, with HD tubes, skidplate, rad guards, handguards, and lights. I'm not sure there is a full 20 pounds in there, so something isn't quite right...

So this says that a 449 is lighter than a 310? That seems crazy. Is that because of all the extra crap on a TE (as opposed to the TC race model)?

The only weight that I did an accurate measurement on was my 2011 TE310 fully fueled with all my race ready bling added (and all the street gear off). It was basically in full world enduro CH Racing spec.
266 pounds ready to race. The scales used are NASCAR quality pad scales.

We will do a weight check of my TE300 after I have her completely done, I still want to add mousses and my TMD skid plate. My estimate will be about 10 lbs less than the TE310.....but also there is an extra gal of fuel to think about TE310 @2gal, TE300 @3gal full tanks.

the biggest weight issue for me and my machine is my own tank ass weight
above fotos, Didnt know if anyone noticed but I even re-tie downed and got new one set of red and one set of blue moose branded tie downs......all my crew commented on the color match and teased me about it.
About the weight thing the Beta owner and I also discussed using three pads of the scale system, 1 per tire and one on the end of the handlebar as the bike is layed over, to triangulate the cg of our 2T machines and do same for the 4T machine (that I still have TXC310R), we think the cg on the 4T will be higher from center of view, because of the upper engines cam assy. Make sense?
