1968 Cota 247 Rim Lock / bead lock
Unusual to have such a narrow rim on the rear I would have thought, but the caliper doesn't lie. I would think that you will need two at 1.60" or WM1...............

1968 Cota 247 Rim Lock / bead lock
Rim info FYI. Rim lock needs to be suitable for size of rim and 21" rims are not always the same WM number - I know that from experience Hondas have used both 1.6 and 1.85 (WM1 and 2) on trials bikes. rims.pdf

Bike bogging down off choke ??
Cabby, It seems to be more common these days with the **** quality fuel we have to use. Hope you just cleared with airline and wasn't tempted to bodge a bit of wire down it! Seen too many pilot jets been ruined by "jet cleaning" tools that are too large for the size of jet..............

Dog bone bearing play
Very helpful comment that. JustinC The swinging arm bearings seldom give trouble and need changing in my experience. However the bearings in the arm where the link plates attach are (same as dogbone) very often in need of changing. If neglected can lead to the lug being ripped from the arm. If changing in-situ it is easier if you make a long stepped drift (easily turned on a lathe) to drive them out and new ones in. Hope this helps

4 RIDE ADVICE PLEASE
Woody, mine is a 2019 but I don't think there is many (if any) differences between them. And I wouldn't bother with the gear lever kit really as you don't have to change gear that much with such a wide torque band (and I am used to trials bikes ? ) The S3 air box mod is useful though as is putting a different lid on the air filter.

4 RIDE ADVICE PLEASE
90 miles???? You'll be lucky! I get about 40-50miles max, so need to keep that in mind and carry some extra fuel and plan the fuel stops on the route. Other than that, they are a great bike. I use 10-38 gearing on mine and although it will do more, usually keep to 50mph max on A roads. (Although we try and avoid main roads and keep to the small lanes between the green ones.) Easy to fit 2 Liters under seat if needed.

4rt Swingarm
Swinging arms on 4RT seem to be same (at least up to2017) on all models -except for colour/finish. Also interchangable with late model 315 arms.

Delorto Mikuni
I think you will find that the number on the jet refers to its diameter in hundredths of a millimeter. eg. a number 38 is 0.38mm. This I believe is a standard that has been used since Adam was a lad. But, I stand to be corrected.....................
