Shop parts for a 2013 Beta 350 RS Dirt Bike.
The 2013 Beta 350 RS refines the road-sport four-stroke with improved fueling and detail updates in its second production year. The 349cc liquid-cooled DOHC four-valve single with electronic fuel injection and six-speed gearbox delivers broad, manageable power through the 17-inch wheels and road tires. The steel perimeter frame, KYB fork and Sachs shock with road-tuned valving provide the pavement-focused chassis. DOT-compliant equipment makes the 350 RS a street-legal machine designed primarily for on-road enjoyment with the agility and character of a lightweight single-cylinder platform.

Dry vs. Wet Torque
Oil drain plug: always wet; reduce 15–20% with sealant. All other values assume dry threads.
Road Mileage & Oil Service
Road-sport riders accumulate miles rapidly. The 350 RS reaches oil change intervals faster in road miles than the enduro model does in trail hours. More frequent oil services mean more drain plug cycles. The 20 Nm spec and aluminum case threading demand a torque wrench at every change — not just the first few. The improved fueling on the 2013 model runs the engine more efficiently, but the oil service discipline is unchanged.
Thread Locker Usage
Medium-strength (blue) thread locker for the 2013 Beta 350 RS:

Torque Wrench Selection
A 3/8-inch drive click-type for 20–100 Nm and a 1/4-inch drive for 10–12 Nm hardware. Two drive sizes for the refined 350cc road-sport machine.
