Four-Stroke

Can one of the lucky few who have a M4RT describe what changes you or your dealer have made to the bike with respect to the restrictors. I beleive there are three? Are all three being removed? Any pictures or diagrams would be appreciated. And may I wish all of you a great xmas and a happy nerday........ BillyT

Thats it for now i have tried all the new breed four bangers the new scorpa seems nice (to early to tell )but the sherco was fine for about three months. as a clubman level ride i think the scorpa will fit right in I am finally getting used to my monty (really soft usable power with restictors in ) and the kit is on the way for the sherco ,now this bike is really an expert level bike (to much power for me) Lots of people comment on the noise of the fourstroke have they never heard a pre 65 bike now that is noisey,but i love them aswell

why dont 4-Art make a 125 it would be top of the list for all the youths becouse of that nice siclencer note it would be a sell out dont you think.

or lack of , as pictured in tmx . i gather a few have had a little play now its here , with the first batch sold out when they get here, why is nobody getting excited or talking about it? whos got one on order? whos been to birketts and seen it?

Hi all, After the first year of use, I think we have more clear the arguments of the new 4S machines. I own a 4RT with just one year old and I would highlight this points: - Flawless bike. No problems at all in this first year. The bike keeps intact its performance in one year. - Great response of engine, always constant in any situation. - A little bit heavy in front, difficult turning. I got more tired with the 4RT than with a 2S. - Great suspension. - Not cheap to do maintenance: so frequent oil changes, included oil filter, made the bike significantly more expensive to maintain than a 2S. The final point: Would I buy it again? Probably not. The main rea…

Don't seem to hear much about the Montesa or the Sherco these days, what are the owners views on the bikes now they have had chance to give them a good testing? Would love to own a montesa in 12 months if the funds will allow, my local dealer was telling me alot of folks who bought them don't seem to be getting on with the fourstroke. Any thoughts from the horses mouth so to speak

I am of course completely biased, but would it be an idea to have a class for trial competitions limted to four-stroke engined bikes built before 1990? That would make the RTL honda shine once more, and would allow twinshock as well as monoshock bikes to compete in this class...

Have followed this whole four stroke debate with interest but one thing puzzles me, why do 4 stroke engines run at a higher temperature than a 2 stroke when they are supposedly better lubricated and have only 1/2 the number of power strokes. Also why are they noisier than a 2t.

I have writen about this allready on another page RE500s hot start mod on the sherco 320 4t has absolutly transformed the hot start issues with my bike for no apparent reason my bike would refuse to start ,sometimes taking 20+ kicks now i still try and start as normal but you can tell if it is having a funny 5 mins lift the hot start open the throttle a little and one kick to clear next kick starts i have even turned it upside down when really hot let the motor stall and it still starts if you have not done it do it NOW

Had a look on google to see if anyone had an 06 4rt picture and found a diego bosis 280 special Is next years 4rt a 280 ?

Took air filter out to clean and noticed engine oil? in bottom of air box. This was after running all day. Any body any ideas.. Its not filter oil, defo engine..

How well do the montys start ? my sherco is really random, one trial it will go all day first or second kick then for no apparent reason it will flood or pop and take bloody loads of kicks to start. This happened three times yesterday then calmed down for the last lap. does the fuel injection stop this?

My wife has a GG 200Pro, and loves the thing. However, she has one real problem with it. And she'd KILL me if she knew I was divulging her secret here. But I'm gonna anyway. The problem is her short, girly legs don't have the strength to start the stupid thing, especially when cold. She was fine with her old '96JTR 270, but with the smaller bore 175cc there is a marked increase in compression it seems. Couple that with a shorter kickstart lever AND shorter distance that lever travels, well, I am often pressed into service to press that lever into service. This annoys, frustrates, embarasses and humiliates her no end. She's done a stretch of leg strengthening exercise…

Just read the Steve Saunders test on the Sherco 4T in the YOU HAVE USED WORDS OR A PHRASE WHICH ARE NOT PERMITTED ON THIS WEBSITE. PLEASE DELETE YOUR POST/TOPIC. DO NOT TRY TO CIRCUMVENT THE FILTERS IN PLACE ON THIS WEBSITE, he mentioned the old dreaded "pop and die" thing that has affected nearly every fourstroke trials bike (with a carb) that I've been on. Do you get this with the Montesa, with it being fuel injection and all??

The fuel tank on the 4t is only just over two liters but it does seem to use quite a lot Has anyone worked out if the new four bangers are really thirsty What about the honda? How much does a 290 2t use on an average trial? I have been on reserve a few times and run right out once i recon reserve is about 10cc watch out

Tell us all about your steeds
