Vehicle Information
BETA RS 500 Motorcycle - Dual-Sport (2015-2024)
The Beta RS 500, later known as the 500 RR-S, is a versatile dual-sport motorcycle produced from 2015 to 2024. It consistently features a robust liquid-cooled, four-stroke, single-cylinder, 4-valve DOHC engine with a displacement of 478 cc. Positioned for both trail riding and street legality, this model has undergone continuous refinement. While there are no distinct "trims" in the traditional sense, the model saw significant evolution. The most notable change occurred in 2016 with the introduction of electronic fuel injection (EFI) across the four-stroke line, replacing the carburetor, alongside other engine and chassis improvements. In 2017, the model was officially renamed from RS 500 to 500 RR-S. Subsequent years brought further enhancements, including updated ECU mapping with traction control and power modes in 2023, and a "Special Edition" with KYB suspension for 2024. These updates reflect Beta's commitment to performance and rider experience throughout the 2015-2024 production run. Q: How do I find parts specific to my Beta RS 500 / 500 RR-S?
