Montesa 349 fork legs.
The 348 , 248s def had the same legs, and possibly the latter 200/242/330s as well, or you could get it welded up .

Trimming the back mudguard loop - worth it?
It was good enough for Mick on the Yams, Vesty on the Bults & Thierry on the Frantics, must of been good enough for the rest of us mere mortals surely??? All 3 of them rank amongst the greats of our sport, I'm thinking they had very good reasons for doing so ..

2009 4RT Issues?
Plenty of good info in the post above. As jr sunt said eliminate the bank sensor, if its not the cause now it will play up down the line ( well all 4 of mine have) so may as well do it whilst your searching for the problem. Good luck.

2017 4rt poor starter
The 17s have a longer kickstarter than the 16s, could be why it feels easier to swing over.

Trick-Bits
I have had some fork guards,swinging arm guards & tank cover, all fit very well, only criticism being the tank cover doesn't totally cover the tank. leaves the top 20mm bare.

Making trials safer ...?
Unless you have a gun held to your or your families heads ,no one is going to force you to ride anything you don't want too. END OF... If you want to wrap yourself in cotton wool and add every protection device known to man to your riding attire, help yourselves, apart from a bit of p*** taking nobody will mind OR CARE. Leave trials alone we are quite happy as we are thanks,We don't need any more bureaucracy.....
-
Making trials safer ...?
We spread the entry by class throughout the sections, but even doing that after half a lap or so there are competitors on all secs so the issue as you find it remains.
-
Making trials safer ...?
Don't be shy, shout loud enough & they will move , & if they don't then your perfectly entitled to claim a baulk to the observer & have a re run.
-
Making trials safer ...?
Isnt riding a trial a voluntary exercise???? if theres something you don't like or think is too dangerous then don't do it.... Please don't turn the sport into a Nanny State... Work 6days a week is bad enough now, couldn't stand sunday morns listening to a "method statement" before doing something I & thousands of others have been doing for donkeys years in blissful unawareness to the dangers involved!!!!!!!!

Gas Gas Contact! real trials bike or hybrid?
I would buy a used mont 4rt , you will lose less in depreciation, the mont will be far more reliable, is much better built & is competition ready when you are!!!!.

Trs Clutch Effort
The clutch on the 17 sherco & scorpa is definitely heavier than the 16s, the 17 trs rr is lighter (not tried a trs one), None of them are as light as the monts though!!.
