  1. Agreed Ross This is why i was asking about fitting a battery into the 4rt circuit. Could it then be run with a lower tickover if the battery re charged at higher rpm. Needs an alternator as well to recharge
  2. I think we can probably work out when dodof is on nights though
  3. Thanks steveo. So whatever issues people think may arise in reality FI seems reliable on a trials bike.
  4. Yes dadof2 but to repeat an earlier question how many people who have owned a 4rt or ossa have had to replace a component of the fi system? This isnt a question for you unless you have owned one of these bikes
  5. Before people start bringing tales to this thread about cars vans etc they owned can we restrict it to two wheeled off road vehicles where possible? Id like to know if anyone with a 4rt or Ossa has had to change components on the fi system. Sounds like JRSUNT hasn't.
  6. Issues with carbs They leak especially keihin and mikuni. Bikes are effected by gradient, not good for trials. They ice up in cold weather. Im no fan of the 4rt but the only issue i have with the FI is the high tickover which, i have been led to believe, is required for efi to be powered. FI wins for me
  7. How about if you cant spell colour its a five ? Just kidding. Rules have developed to try and fix other problems such as section severity and a handful of people being way too good for the rest of us. If you started with a clean sheet of paper i think the first thing to do is to set some proper criteria for sections

    Vertigo Launch

    Ok needs a different thread as to why a mont has to tick over at 1850rpm then. Or are you saying it is for the fuel injection but not an issue for starting?
  9. Idiot ? Its the season of goodwill you F***wit !?
  10. KTM wont have 10/42 sprockets though and i think smaller sprockets wear faster as chain is pulled into smaller circle Used to run o ring chains at the ssdt on yamaha tyr s and tyz. Chain would last till Christmas after ssdt but would need a gearbox sprocket in that time. Downside is you lose power with an o ring.
  11. Ah the season of goodwill

    Vertigo Launch

    Yes shedracer it is good except the high tickover. Would building a small battery into the circuit mean a 4rt could run lower tickover speed ? Apart from the idle speed its difficult to fault from my experience.

    Vertigo Launch

    Read the beta thread about the bikes idle speed dropping when pointed downhill. Absolutely ideal on a trials bike. Fuel leaking from bikes when dropped or leant against a bank while the rider walks the section is not ideal from an environmental point of view. My diesel van is on the same pump and injectors from new. Its done 87000 miles, it ticks over at 1000rpm unlike a 4rt and it doesn't flood if parked on a hill. Dont try and tell me efi cant be done for trials bikes, its just a matter of time
  14. A good read for those who see no benefit in fuel injection.
  15. Hang on have you actually paid for the bike ?
  16. Ourian if we do away with the stop , dab stall = 5 why is this a problem from your point of view ? I dont see a logical reason to bring up the stalled engine rule other than an attempt to make the discussion more complex. We could have rules that require forward motion regardless of engine status or a rule that says a stall is always a five. I'd rather have the former.
  17. Bend and width are slightly different, measurements were in renthal catalogue but not sure they are still made
  18. Wonder how many hours my swm had done ? 1981 model still going

    Cota 349/4

    I didn't realise what i thought was the last of the 349s was called a 350 ? Silver frame proper plastic tank swinging arm swept up at rear, thats the model i thought this bike was. Also had improved kickstart.
  20. I dont think they are trials boots
  21. Tk pilot jets are strange. There is a bore hole but also 3 or 4 holes at the top. Its these 3 or 4 holes that increase in size with bigger number jets. I think more fuel is sucked through the bore hole as these holes increase in size. Definitely bigger number is richer on tk

    Cota 349/4

    If model 4 is the last of the 349s this looks right apart from the colours. Correct front pipe exhaust and tank.
  23. I had 10 mins on one of the early ones, i thought it was mechanically very loud. Quite tricky to ride and the motor got incredibly hot. I stalled it and had to bump start it down a hill to get it going
