Have seen a few outfits around using 09 gas gas. How easy is it to fit the chair to the new small diameter frame of the bike, and is the frame up to the job. the bikes seem excellent but do feel a bit dubious of the bike frame for a sidecar.

Which is the best brand of bike to turn into a sidecar? are there pros and cons of each brand? What changes need to be made to the bike?

am i right in thinking that the standard throttle on a 4rt is slow action throttle? if so has anyone tried a fast one, and did it feel any different?

my mitani clutch plates arrived this week! not being very mechanically minded can anyone tell me if it is a big job to fit them, and which order they go in.

has anyone tried mitani clutch plates yet? if so, any improvment?

couldnt make test day cause of work, but would love to have gone. any differnces between 05 and 06? did anyone learn any secret techniques to riding the from pros? anyone tried hrc throttle body, and is it much different.

which part of clutch is the actuator? regarding taking 2 springs out of clutch pack,have you tried this and dose it work,or is it just a theory

dose anyone know how i can make the clutch on my 4rt more progressive. i have already changed the standard master cylinder for the larger one, but still find it a bit instant, and hard to slip and bring in progressivly. the engine drive disengages completly the momment my finger touches the lever. i think i read somewhere on this site about cutting 2 mm off a part of the clutch but i cant find it anywhere. overall very happy with bike. sorting the clutch out will make it perfect.also have herd rumour of clutch changes for 06 model.anyone know about that?

can any one tell me the pros and cons of removing/ leaving in the exhaust restrictors on the 4rt. i have read somewhere that when riding standard bikes the team riders remove the one out of the front of the middle box. i had a look at mine, thought i would try it for a ride, and couldnt get it out. how do you get it out without damaging anything. is it worth it.

can anyone answer a few questions on the 4rt. i have one on the way, and would like to know what people think about the following things. do you need to change clutch master cylinder? do you need to change rear sprocket? what size what is the best combination of restrictors in/out? what is routine maintainence like. any thing to look out for. any set up tips? tickover etc. ( for expert club level ) any tips on technique for riding them. have read somewhere you have to ride them different to make them grip in mud. thanks
