After lots of research I pulled trigger on new 300rr 3 weeks ago. I have had it out twice and after long time KTM 4t rider I definitely got my fix on riding 2 stroke again and very much like the power and handling. However, during and after first ride I noticed the oil leak on side case from the PV valve and already new this was a reported issue so knew it was a straight forward fix and didnt stress. Next ride yesterday I noted the gas leaking out of overflow tube when bike is leaned slightly more than on kick stand, and said 'oh well floats are next to adjust.' So proceeded with ride and after 2-3 miles of aggressive up/down single track bike died going up hill at about half throttle and sucked it up and pushed rest of way up top of hill. After lots of attempts to get bike started no luck, but fortunately not too far from truck and with help of fellow rider got back to truck. At truck proceeded to pull carburetor off and go after the float adjustment, which was found to be a little high. However during float adjustment noted some dirt in float bowl and sighed. Blew out the the carb and reassembled and bike started right up and I checked for any gas overflow, which looked to be corrected. Took for another 2 mile loop ride and noted another throttle stumble or just no power (like gas starved) going down hill and said oh crud and high tailed back to truck again where with bike running I tilted to left to double check for gas overflow and bike died. Loaded bike in truck and said this sucks as this shouldnt happen with new high end bike. ALso during parking lot repair many fellow riders asked whats up with new Beta and I tried to keep up beat that it has a few bugs to be worked out.
I'm pretty sure its most likely the dirt/grit in the carb as the problem I need to address next, but how the heck did grit get into new carb in first place? I'll pull tank flush and check/clean carb again and install in-line filter and hope this gets me down the trail and back.
I took time to write as to help improve the experience of next buyer of new 300rr and I'm sure the source of solution is somewhere between parts suppliers, Beta and dealership. I've notified my dealership and will work through the issues. Polka dot 49er ride this weekend and I'll pull the KTM out for it, and fix the Beta later.
