2020 HUSQVARNA TE 300i VS. 2020 BETA 300 RR COMPARISON P102 difference. The Beta has a button just in front of the fuel tank and has a "rain" and "sun" to designate the two options, which also has a white or blue light to in- dicate which one you have selected. The difference is less noticeable on the Beta, but as we said, it has really broad power. Although the fuel injection on the Husqvarna should be better at com- pensating for elevation and other atmo- spheric changes, the Keihin carbureted Beta ran great in a pretty wide range of conditions and altitudes. At this stage of the Husqvarna/KTM development cycle, we still give the edge in performance to the carbureted Beta. Adjusting the power valve on the Husky can help liven up the power as the stock setting is very mild. If you're intimidated by the thought of riding a 300cc two- stroke, don't be. The Husky is fun and easy to get along with.
