Hi, I look after the demo 4rt for Craigs MC, being just over 6ft found the bars on 2014/5 both models low, fitted Renthal 5inch fat bars about 13mm higher than std felt much better moved your weight back. On the 2016/7 models the foot rests are lower so I found std bars OK on both std model and Repsol.Hope that helps you and I have the bar in black for sale or you can try if live close to Craigs in Yorkshire.

Bumpy Trail park Birstall is the venue no observers just try the section that look good for you enjoy your bike riding I will be their on my 4RT Richard Thorpe

Hi Dave, You can check Tong trials bike only practice days @ Parkwood off road. just off M62 junction 27. Normally 3rd Saturday in month, check before traveling. We also have Bumpy.org just off Junction 27, trials practice area 7 days week you could book lessons with Dan Thorpe. If you come down and want to try 4RT demo bike be in touch via Craigs or email me rht.parts65@btinternet.com giving me a few days notice. Regards Richard

Morning Dave, Yes the Bou bars are listed 4.5 inch rise, S3 bars fitted on your red 4RT are similar rise. Renthal have a 5.00 rise bar in black only and comes with bar pad. The Renthal spec sheet lists this bar 13mm 1/2 inch higher than the Bou bend bar, when I tried them did not think the 1/2 inch would make the difference I was looking for but it did. No problem to try my bike at Craigs with the higher bars on, or do you come over to the monthly Saturday trials practice day at Tong. Regards Richard

My fault just add a email from a rider called Jeff. RHT

Hi Jeff , I have looked after the Montesa 4RT 260 2014 and 2015 demonstrator models for Craigs Motorcycles, being tall I tried higher Renthal bars bike felt more balanced. Hope that helps. Regards Richard RHT

I Chris, I use PJ1 Goldfire 10-40 engine oil and PJ1 Ultra light clutch/gear oil in gearbox on my 4RT. Sound a good idea to try larger diameter handlebar grips to help your problem, lots of riders fit higher than standard handlebars to improve their comfort on the bike. Keep your feet up enjoy trials.
