2016 Beta 350 RR Race Edition Dirt Bike Torque Specs
Shop parts for a 2016 Beta 350 RR Race Edition Dirt Bike.
The 2016 Beta 350 RR Race Edition carries the updated ECU mapping and improved cooling from the standard model into the competition package. The revised fueling sharpens mid-range response, and the improved cooling system extends the 350’s race-pace endurance in hot conditions. The 349cc liquid-cooled DOHC four-valve single with electronic fuel injection and six-speed gearbox pairs with the steel frame, KYB fork and Sachs shock with race-tuned valving, ergal footpegs, and factory livery. The combination of ECU refinement and improved cooling makes the 2016 Race Edition the most competitive version of the 350 four-stroke yet.

Dry vs. Wet Torque
Oil drain plug: always wet; reduce 15–20% with sealant. All other specs assume dry threads.
ECU & Cooling Updates Under Race Loading
The revised ECU mapping changes how the engine delivers power through the mid-range, which alters thermal loading patterns during sustained race-pace riding. The improved cooling system helps manage heat, but the changed thermal profile means the head gasket experiences different expansion patterns. Consistent 40 Nm head bolt torque provides the stable sealing the updated engine needs. The improved cooling also affects oil temperature stabilization, making regular oil changes and precise drain plug torque part of the 350 Race Edition’s competition maintenance routine.
