Shop parts for a 2017 Beta 350 RR Race Edition Dirt Bike.
As the final year on the original frame, the 2017 Beta 350 RR Race Edition represents the peak development of the first-generation four-stroke competition platform. The 349cc liquid-cooled DOHC four-valve single with electronic fuel injection and six-speed gearbox has been refined through three years of Race Edition production. KYB fork and Sachs shock with race-tuned valving, ergal footpegs, and factory livery complete the competition package. Every specification on this platform is proven and validated through years of competition use. The 2017 Race Edition is the most reliable and refined version of the original 350 four-stroke competition enduro.

Dry vs. Wet Torque
Oil drain plug: always wet; reduce 15–20% with sealant. All other specs assume dry threads.
Final-Year Race Edition Considerations
As the last 350 Race Edition on the original frame, the 2017 model is a fully proven competition machine. High-hour examples entering the used market should have drain plug threads inspected — three years of Race Edition oil changes accumulate significant thread wear on the aluminum case. Verify bearing condition at suspension pivots alongside torque values. The four-stroke Race Edition’s higher service frequency means more fastener cycles per season than the standard model, making thread condition monitoring an essential complement to torque verification.
Thread Locker Usage
