Haven't visited this forum in quite awhile.

I'm sure there are others with more mileage, but I'm now at 4,750 miles and 180 hours on my 2016 390RR. No major issues at all, and the bike still runs as strong as the day I bought it. Still on original battery, but will probably replace soon. Getting ready to replace chain, sprockets, front brake pads and tires. Should probably change the fork oil as well. Valves were checked at 3,000 miles, all in spec. Plastic oil pump gears replaced with metal ones at 3,000 miles also.

I had contemplated selling her awhile ago, but every time I ride it I just can't bring myself to do it. The bike is too much fun and easy to ride.

It’s been a while since this has been responded too but I have a ‘15 430rr. So it’s one of the last carved ones, which has been absolutely flawless for me. Anyway my stock computer got to 9999 miles and stopped. So I removed it 3 years ago. But anyway I’m up there at about 18k miles on it. I split riding time between other bike so I’m being a little light on the mileage. But I over do it with oil changes and basic maintenance but never serviced valves or anything major and she fires up with little if any hesitation. So of course another beta Is coming my way in the very near future

2017 Beta 390rr had 32hrs on it when I got it in 2020 and now has 52hrs/620mi

my biggest issue was would not start at 11300ft, 5mi up the mountain in Colorado, what a long day that was!
suspected fuel pump or filter and installed a new fuel pump and filter but same issue of just 10psi
fuel pressure so has to be the fuel pressure regulator, which I will install new FPR tonight, got a HFP-PR28 from
Quantum Fuel Systems.
Dealer reset old DCTs and said they found no other issues but low fuel pressure
I guess storing a FI MC for 6 yrs with the crappy ethanol/gasoline destroys the rubber diaphragm
in the FPR, so everyone beware if you have a FI Beta over 5yr s old, I am now storing with non-ethanol fuel in tank
