Dakar
Been watching the 3-4 minute videos Honda Pro Racing put up on youtube when they come up in my subscription feed. Used to watch religiously until it moved from Africa.

Popping The Clutch
The cog in the bottom right corner can select half or quarter speed (needs to be watched on youtube.com though).

4Rt Bike Protection
Get a case saver first. 2015 will fit 2016. Most stuff fits all years. For carbon stuff it depends on how much you want to spend or if you can make it but I think: -airbox cover if you ride sandy areas -under rear guard if you ride in a lot of wet I run the standard bash plate and the carbon clutch side cover that came with the repsol and it's held up ok.

Strange Beta Fork Troubles. Leaking But Not At The Seal
I think the bolt under it holds the silver clamp bit onto the fork leg and there is a seal in there. They need a service anyway; that oil looks like ****.

4Rt Engine Oil
I'll use any 10w40. There's always a few hundred ml left after changing one of my other bikes or cars oil. Currently using Nulon full synthetic. For filters I use http://www.hiflofiltro.com/catalogue/filter/hf116 Oil and filter around 15 hours. Bike is '05 I think.

Enduro Gone Trials!
250f is fun to ride. Not a bad bike but not the best. If that's what you want then get it. Unless your main goal is winning it doesn't really matter what you get.

What Would You Buy ...?
If I were buying a 2016 model I'd wait until I could afford a 4rt or finance one. Not saying you should do that but that's what I'd do.

Bearing Throttle Wheel
I have that and the one that goes in the end of the throttle tube. I like it much better but haven't tried the wheel by itself.

Balance Question
loosen your grip so all your weight has to be through your legs. or give it a fist full and let the crank inertia help stand the bike up if it's only for a quick correction.

Suggestions Please
I took the bars off my 4rt and it fit in the back of my 307

Dealing With Fear?
I'm always scared because I hate scratching my bikes. If I'm just play riding/practicing (which is all I ever do anymore) sometimes there will be an easier part to ride first like a lower height/smoother launch/more grip. Often there's no other option so I might ride up to it a couple of times to see how it looks on the bike. If you can't ride the section first then visualising helps; feels, noise, real-time, as accurately as possible. After that there's nothing left but to go for it. If I crash I'll get up and do it again if I'm able to. If I'm not hurt and my bike is rideable I'll know it wasn't so bad and convince myself I was close. Can't let it put the fear into me for later.

Up And Over Trials Gear - Anybody Tried ?
The pants on their site look a bit tight to fit braces. MX pants are your best bet. I wear Asterisk braces on dirt bikes and just knee/shin guards for trials. Both fit under regular Acerbis, Oneal and Fox mx pants fine and never felt movement was restricted. I mostly just wear my snowboarding shorts when riding trials now; they look like regular board shorts and have a bunch of padding in them.

Hydraulics, Do We Need Them?
Should use mechanical cables for more reliable goat control.

Is a 4RT suitable for a novice rider ?
What is KT? Yes, we are. Why? 1800rpm works better. Novice riders don't have clutches?

4Rt Rear Guards
