2024 Beta 350 RS Dirt Bike Torque Specs
Shop parts for a 2024 Beta 350 RS Dirt Bike.
The 2024 Beta 350 RS returns the road-sport four-stroke to the Beta lineup on the latest-generation platform. The 349cc liquid-cooled DOHC four-valve single with electronic fuel injection and six-speed gearbox delivers the broad, accessible powerband through 17-inch wheels with road tires and road-tuned suspension. The new-generation chrome-moly steel frame, updated geometry, and modern ergonomics make the 2024 RS a fundamentally different machine from the earlier 350 RS models. DOT-compliant equipment provides street legality. The combination of a new chassis and pavement-focused use creates unique torque considerations — highway vibration, hard braking forces, and sustained high-speed loading through an unproven structure.

Dry vs. Wet Torque
Oil drain plug: always wet; reduce 15–20% with sealant. All other values assume dry threads.
New Platform & Road Use
The new-generation chassis handles road loading through different paths than any previous 350 RS. During the first season, verify engine mount and chassis pivot torque more frequently. Road use subjects the frame to sustained high-frequency vibration and hard braking forces that the off-road models encounter only briefly. The 17-inch wheels and road tires create different gyroscopic loads on axle hardware at highway speeds. Consistent torque verification establishes confidence in the new structure under pavement-specific demands.
Thread Locker Recommendations
Medium-strength (blue) thread locker for the 2024 Beta 350 RS:
- Rear sprocket nuts
- All disc bolts
- Linkage bolts
- Subframe bolts
- Exhaust header bolts
- Mirror mount 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 new-generation 350cc road-sport machine.
