  1. Montesa4Ride - ideal as a base Clubman bike - larger range and good seat.................there you go, job done See.... it can still be achieved
  2. I don't disagree When I got my new TY250R Mono in 1985, the world had moved on and twinshocks were lame, in comaprison Fast forward to now and I much prefer modern bikes, however I do have a soft spot for my TYZ - power is usable, suspension is ok and the brakes (with a 4pot AJP) are good I did ride a very good Fantic 240 the other week and it was far from stock and original, much modified - it rode very well...........but was still heavy

    4rt oil change

    Just got one, can you leave it on then..........to do the filter
  4. My 4RT is first kick every time - hot or cold..........weird

    4rt oil change

    That's hardly a chore though, unlike taking the 4RT sump guard off, which can be a PITA to get back on again

    4rt oil change

    I agree, it is a flipping palaver
  7. 70:1 should be fine with modern fully synthetic 2T oils Trials bike don't work as hard as KTM's at 40:1 You are over oiling that bike
  8. Never, I'm mixing at 70:1 on fully synthetic 2T on my TYZ
  9. I have the Couriers and they work fine for me
  10. I saw Dan Thorpe on a Beta Evo at Motorcycle Live , this week
  11. One of my bikes is 10 years old and the other is 20 years old, both fine and miles better than me
  12. Cost £100 for an unregistered bike, probably less for a registered one TPFT
  13. Not letting a soul know you have one, for a start I back my Van right up to the garage door, open it and load the bike into the Van without being seen I rarely start it, at home I never leave the garage door open and never turn on the light when the door is open, only when shut I keep the bike under a sheet, in the garage ........... so it can't be seen I wash it right at the back of the house, on the rear patio and where it can't be seen by anyone (we have a rear wing to the house, so covered on 3 sides to the rear) Any Trials/Bike parts are sent to my Mum's sheltered housing in town, 6 miles away..............no bike stuff is posted to my house Think like a thief and keep schtum STEALTH...............is your main friend
  14. Sorry to hear that Offroad insurance with Carole Nash for unregistered bikes, for £100 or so Well worth it on a £4k+ 2017 value bike
  15. Bugger, that's not good
  16. Were you followed Were you followed home? Are you insured?
  17. So sorry to hear that, hope it's recovered Were you followed home (bike on trailer)? Did you have insurance, hopefully?
  18. It says Optional, so it'll be extra for the tuneable PTB
