I ended up flushing tank adding fuel filter, replacing stock gas cap vent tube with straight hose, rechecked float level (about 7-8mm), reseated spark plug cap, shortened radiator overflow tube, and added bunch or protection guards. Kinda surprised no factory supplied clamps on oil injection connections, which I still need to either steal from vent tubes or tie with wire.
I did go for replacing needle to NECJ and 162 MJ with 38 pilot and 1 3/4 air at 1000ft ride, but found I lost the 1/8-1/4 low end snap or just power that had with stock set up and it was pinging when on the pipe. But would agree that yes it smoothed out power delivery over range and made nice and crisp, but this isnt for me and will go back to either N2ZW or perhaps try leaner N2ZJ as I would like power back. Only reason I messed with needle in first place was to smooth out power delivery (a little) and avoid buying larger tank, but perhaps float adjustment will take care of latter. Thanks for posting lots of helpful info!

My clutch basket life is now 2 times a YZ basket and I have yet to see an notching. Best stock aluminum basket I have ever seen. KTM use steel which is the best in my opinion. Piston life is also outstanding. Recently I just checked compression and I have had no loss in the last 150 hrs. Overall the bike is staying quite tight. Do not be afraid of buying a Beta because of quality.
