Do you need to unfasten the radiator to top up or check the coolant?

Yes certain oils react with the clutch fibres. I used to always use atf without any problems. My current bike has been used to a diet of putoline light gear oil and recently I had to swap some plates round as the pack had expanded.

New boots looked the same as jeroni Fajardo was wearing at Santigosa. Can't find them on the site now

Seen some new style alpinestar boots on a foreign dealers site. Will try and post a link

I'm no 4rt fan Dabill deserves credit. I acknowledge it's a very reliable bike, it does have good suspension and they are really quick on the road. But so is a CBR 600, for me ultimately you enter a trial to clean the sections, I don't think it's the best bike for that function. It may only be my view but I can live with that. Honda couldn't care less

Ragas rode before I think 1999 or 2000

James Dabill. 2007 winner TRW 300 4rt.

Top Marks to Dabill, what a result.

From some of the pics its an indoor trial staged outdoors ? Cabby last few years has been much better indoors as it suits his style, not sure why. So this perhaps isnt so unexpected. Having one constructed section isnt so bad but i dont like to see pots of them.

The only 4rt thing I have is a fuel can ?

But to answer your question if the cash had been the same from both I'd have gone to Honda wouldn't you ?

No not really. I don't think for a clubman the RTL was as easy to ride as the air cooled yam. But it was light years ahead of a hiro or rotax engined twin shock Armstrong. I doubt that the mono Armstrong was anywhere near as good as the Honda

Yes but it was an RTL to be fair

I hadn't seen it before, really good.

There are a few issues with this in my mind First of all look at the age and ability range of the riders - some young riders with no fear, a few professionals and an awful lot of over 40s who will be expecting to go to work at some point the week after. Its a single route trial, by nature some sections will be too easy for the pros and other sections too hard for the clubman. Second, would you prefer they rode in the begins and stalled the bike, or rode to the foot of a waterfall and turned round ? Third how do you know those who didn't get a ride would ride every section ? Fourth If you have sections the majority don't attempt then is it the majority of riders who are wrong or the section ? Finally having bought a new bike, new gear, paid the entry fee, drove to Fort William, paid for the hotel etc etc, why should a clubman put himself out of the trial on Monday before lunch at Blackwater or Grey Mares by hurting themselves or their bike on a section the majority are going to five anyway ?

No Chance Ham2, just providing a little perspective

if its a 2t Beta the piston has nothing to do with blue smoke, sorry. is the bike using gear box oil, are you having to top it up ? Blue smoke may just be a clogged exhaust or the crankshaft oil seals are gone or the centre gasket is leaking. just check the oil level , run the bike for a couple of hours and check it again. if the oil level is constant in the gearbox then its not burning gearbox oil.

Gas Gas Factory Editions, previously called Raga Reps were over £6k ? Great bikes but no FI ? How much is a repsol rep 4RT ?

Check fork bushes and seals ?

You seriously expect us to think you apply GT85 when pubs will be open ??

Too many vertigos to count at Santigosa

Dadof2 ??

So last bikes left the factory jan / feb last year and this has just caused a problem now ? Surprised the magnetic flywheel and vibration didn't just pull the stator off straight away.

Billy if they make it buy one if its what you want its your choice. Im just answering your original question. Kenichi rides one ? Well so what hes probably getting paid to

Yes i think the bankruptcy is the old company name Jotagas not Jgas
