Spark Arrestor for Beta 300RR Race Edition

[AndrettiDog]

Apologies if this is redundant but I did some searching and didn't find what I was looking for.

I'm curious if it is possible to modify the stock FMF pipe on my 2016 Beta 300RR Race Edition to include a spark arrestor.  Seems it wouldn't be too hard to drill out the rivets and come up with a mesh trap.  I'm just not sure how that effects the back flow and if it would even work.  I'm in Colorado and it's very dry.  Lots of forest fires.  I didn't want to start the next one.

Mesh spark arrestors in a 2 stroke are maintaince intensive as they gum and clog up . Far better to bite the bullet and get the turbine core style , pro circuit and fmf both need no maintaince until the need repacking .

Thanks, I didn't think of the extra oil contributing to clogging.

If searching up here it’s better to just put the topic and add thumpertalk and search on google. Searching on TT alone is a pain and doesn’t work lots of times.

I ran one the EE screen type bolt on arrestors on another bike and it played havoc on jetting.  I ended up taking it off and just buying the FMF.

Thanks everyone.  I'm ordering the turbine style.
