Saw the post for suspension set up for someone weighing 13 stone. What are the bikes set up like for somebody at 9.5-10 stone? Thanks,

C'mon. Nobody has any idea on where I can find more info or the link again????

Ok, I give up. I found pricing and info in Japanese for an RTL 300. Got excited. Made nice nice with a neighbor my wife dislikes because she can speak Japanese and help with ordering. Checked on import taxes. Saved up the money. Now I cannot find any links to get back to where I originally found it. Tried 5 searches here and no success. Please, flame away. thanks

Hi Doug, Which quadrant of the city will you be living in? There is a lot of great riding that may be closer than you think. Just helping with logical reasons to why you should have a bike here! Brad Smith

So what I'm not really clear on is if there are any '08 Montesa' anywhere for sale?? Are they sold out everywhere or could an enterprising individual get one from another country and just ship the thing to North America?

Helped set up a trials in the mountains this afternoon. A lot of loose, sharp rocks of varying sizes. steep ups with many water crossings and logs/small waterfalls to negotiate in them. The bike worked well and handled the drops into the water and rock sections well. On steep climbs the slightly reduced sag helped drive the tire in where previously it was much more rider dependant. Bike still settles into the suspension evenly when weight is applied at the center. Is this a wives' tale or is it really important for the suspension to stroke front and back as evenly as possible?

Why fit the Jitsie linkage plates? The 4rt must have the most plush suspension ever on Trials bike, why alter what Honda spent $$$$$$ developing? Change the footpegs & hangers by all means though, why they have to fit the rubbish they do on a

I went with the linkage plates to see how it modified the way the suspension works. Being a 'techie', I like the ability to be able to compare different setups. With rider sag set at 75mm in the rear and the front and rear working relatively evenly now, today is test day over a range of natural conditions vs the indoor stlye of terrain I have been riding here. We had 2" or better of snow last week so it has made it hard to get out regularly on the bike to test setups. It also seems that with a reasonable range of adjustments available on the bike the factory was looking to able to allow riders to get it right for them and the terrain. Even mountain bikes with a much more limited range of adjustments benefit greatly from a good setup. The bike is damn cool to ride, though! Why fit the Jitsie linkage plates?

Any suggestions on how front and rear sag/setup should be on a Repsol 4RT? I have the Jitsie linkage and rear set pegs. I was wondering if there was any standardized protocol like KTM's 'golden rule' for example. Thanks, Brad
