to adjust it as the Beta has a very broad
powerband that will allow you to tractor
through slow-speed stuff and still revs out
and runs great on top.
One other thing we noticed on the Husqvarna
was a lot of pinging/detonation when using our
local California pump gas. The fuel injection is
tuned to be more efficient for mileage and emis-
sions, but the result is a relatively lean fuel ratio.
We tested VP C12 race fuel mixed 50/50
with the pump gas, and that eliminated
the ping completely. The Beta ran fine on
pump fuel. And we did not experience
a measurable difference in terms of fuel
mileage between the two bikes.
Both bikes include two map options that can
be easily changed. The Husqvarna has a switch
up near the throttle with a "I" and "II." The I is the
more aggressive of the two, and it is a noticeable
