2013 Beta 400 RR Dirt Bike Torque Specs
Shop parts for a 2013 Beta 400 RR Dirt Bike.
The 2013 Beta 400 RR marks the final year for the 400cc displacement in Beta’s enduro lineup. The 398cc liquid-cooled DOHC four-valve single with EFI and five-speed gearbox delivers the familiar strong mid-range torque through the steel frame with KYB fork and Sachs shock. With the 350 and 430 models now established, the 400 exits as a well-proven machine with a loyal following. Riders maintaining a 2013 400 RR are stewards of the final production year for a displacement that served Beta’s enduro lineup for nearly a decade.

Dry vs. Wet Torque
Oil drain plug: always wet; reduce 15–20% with sealant. All other values assume dry threads.
Final-Year 400 — Preservation Priority
As the last 400 RR ever produced, this model’s engine-specific components — the five-speed gearbox, 400cc cylinder and piston, and displacement-specific cases — will become increasingly scarce. Every disassembly is an opportunity to either preserve or damage irreplaceable threads. Clean thread preparation, careful torque application, and proper thread locker usage extend the life of a machine that will never be produced again. Treat the 2013 400 RR’s maintenance with the care a final-production-year machine deserves.
Thread Locker Application
Medium-strength (blue) thread locker for the 2013 Beta 400 RR:
- Rear sprocket nuts
- All disc bolts
- Linkage bolts
- Subframe bolts
- Exhaust header bolts
- Skid plate bolts
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 final-year 400cc enduro.
