One thing I agree with you on

I have a XR400R and the power delivery from my 4RT is totally different The XR will grip for England, thumper, plonk style............whereas the 4RT doesn't It needs more commitment to ride the 4RT well Personally I get better results on a 20 year old TYZ

You will either sell it within 2 months or keep it forever

Riding as slow as they can and the flash lads usually get beaten by an old bloke in his 60's wearing overalls on a bike that is 15 years old and held together with gaffa tape !

In what way, do you know how it works? Did the REV 4T have problems starting?

Why do they have it and not a normal gravity fed fuel tap? What does it do different and how does it work? As far as I know it doesn't have a fuel pump and is just a normal carbed bike

Deal has finished now, it was back in Spring

I got a pair of X11's for £125 which I thought was cheap That's less than the price of one rear tyre for my road bike & I usually get through a pair of road bike tyres each season and a pair cost £250 You beat the benefit of new trials tyres

All good points I will try not to fully shut off (which I do) and try to find grip on the overrun

I have seen you a few times and you are one of the best UK 4RT riders I have seen Thanks for the tips I don't rev it or wind it up enough - I will practise that

So how do you 'work' the throttle right to maintain grip?

What's wrong with a normal Michelin X11?? I have a decent APICO gauge, just the operator is a numpty and needs to let his tyres down

Thanks for that, I think you're right Most of us are over biked and would be better on something tamer

I think the power on the 4RT comes in too brutally for most clubmen, watching Bou (et al) at Tong, they just rev those motors to the moon - where we can't control that sort of power delivery It was interesting watching Bou, that on some muddy, snotty UK type sections his bike just spun up too and he fived that section Also, interestingly not many top UK riders (if any) choose to ride a Mont in the British Series Some have tried in the past, but returned to something else Food for thought

A mate has a 300 4T and it is so smooth, on the traction

Probably just me, as I've being riding something else all spring and summer It's always been a bit 'all or nothing', with 4RT's for me Pity as they're a lovely bike, just flipping annoying Might try a Beta 4T

5 in the rear 6 in the front, brand new Michelin X11's, just put on Loamy, loose leaf and undergrowth in woods.............2T didn't even blink Smoother throttle on 4RT and it just goes backwards, wouldn't hook up, after a turn around a tree

Not been riding my 4RT for 3-4 months and went out to re-try a few sections that I did, at a recent Trial, that I cleaned on my other 2T bike Tried on the 4RT and would it grip, no it bloody wouldn't - even with a brand new tyre............. on muddy hillsides and woodland type sections Grr, I find the front end has a mind of its own sometimes too Rocks, fine Streams fine Mud/Banks..........nope

It was a grand evening out - proper Dales 'gathering'

Cheaper though and plastic ones survive rock impacts better too - weight difference is negligible

Have you got a video link?

I think it's a bit of urban myth but I thought it surrounded home Belgian rider Roger De Coster and the Citadel circuit at Namur and not Carlqvist EDIT - corrected by posts below.

Speedo is not needed for mot & not part of the test

Banyeres in Spain H&D Racing in UK

Yep that's the old way and do it with my TYZ every time I ride it
