Swap the air box/carb boot around so the larger end is to the carb, I also used to take the reed block spacer out, makes taking the carb off and sticking it back on a piece of p***

Yes the IRC is the dogs danglies in the mud and makes a huge difference to the mont, i have a very soft programme on Gerty which helps grip but doesnt seem to effect power when you need it. I have noticed more aggressive power programmes = less grip on the 4rt, good luck fella, the Mont brings a smile to your face everytime

Happy Birthday copey, sent you the same on Facebook

I've had my 4rt for two and a half years now and still love it, never kept a bike for so long, usually the 2 strokes are tired after 12 months & could do with some money spent or swapping. I think you have experienced what I did after my first go on one, bike is stable, goes where you want it to and the suspension is way beyond anything else. I struggled with grip for a fair while in the mud but have stuck with it and ride better in the mud than any 2 stroke Ive ever had.

The Mont weighs about 92 kgs more than the Gasser, its gonna feel heavy for a while, as B40RT says, ride it for a while and see how it feels then, you'll get a six pack and popeye foremans with 3 months

As Dabster says "weather" I used to use a pickup truck ago, heavy rain and spray whilst driving up the Motorway, iced up carbs when you get there and no-where to get changed after your covered in ****. Vans are the way to go but I do have mine work as well.

A van is the way to go if your budget allows, I would'nt be without one these days

A scouse girl goes to the local council to claim benefit. "How many children do you have?" asked the benefit officer. "I have ten kids." replied the scouse woman. "Ten?" said the benefit officer, "That's a lot! What are their names?" "Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne and Wayne." replied the scouse girl. "Ummm, do you not get confused with them all having the same name?" asked the benefit officer. "Nahhh," replied the scouser, "it's great because if they are out in the street playing I only have to say 'Wayne' once and they all come in!" "What if you want to speak to one of them individually?" asked the benefit officer. "Oh that's easy," replied the scouse girl, "I just use their last names!" Did you hear that this year had the coldest day in Liverpool since records began? All the scousers kept their hands in their own pockets! What's the difference between a scouser funeral and a scouser wedding? One less drunk! What do you say to a scouser in a uniform? "Big Mac and fries please!" A young mother was pushing her baby along the street in Manchester when suddenly a huge rottweiler dog lunged towards the pram, gnashing it's teeth. The young woman thought for a moment that the dog would kill them when suddenly a man rushed over, wrestled with the rottweiler and broke it's neck with his bare hands. Another man rushed to the scene and said, "I am a reporter and I saw everything that happened. Wait until I put the headline in my paper. It will read 'Manchester United fan saves baby from savage rottweiler!" "No you can't write that!" replied the man. "But why not?" said the reporter. "Because I am not a Manchester United fan, that's why!" replied the man. "Oh, okay then," said the reporter, "I will write Manchester City supporter saves mother and baby from savage rottweiler!" "You can't write that either" said the man. "Why not?" asked the reporter. "Because I am a Liverpool fan!" replied the man. "Oh I see," said the reporter, "How about this then, 'Scouse ******* kills family pet!"

Try dropping the yolks to the second line on the forks, mine steers great even in the ****

Yes there is a filter mounted around the sump part of the fuel pump, mine was pretty much spotless though after 3 years but as you say be worth a look.

hmmmm that lad should have got further than that Pete

No idea why it failed, was pure luck or last hope when I changed it, didnt think it would of been that, no made no difference wet or dry, massive missfire after about 3-4 hours, ran fine up till then though? only take you an half hour to swap it so worth a try after youve eliminated the plug

I hope thats not the fuel pump then mate, try another throttle body if the plug and Hams advice doesnt work, my problem was the throttle body, same symptoms as yours but went longer than two laps before it misfired. Hopefully someone you know will lend you there throttle body to try, at least give the original a good clean up first and try again

That wasnt the stump Donald, Gerty gripped that much when I took off I went about three foot offline and had to shut down half way up, think she'd have got me up there if the pilot had had kept her online, was a bloody big hill that

Great result for young Brad

oh F**k!!!!!!

Ian that off had nothing to do with lack of grip, more like running into a stump I didnt spot i got alot more grip today than many others, Huge thanks to the Stratford Club for a brilliant trial, as Mick says hundreds of hours of time spent sorting out the event which at this time of year with daily changing weather conditions must have made things even tougher. Great job everyone, thought the trial was spot on, didnt like section 1's first drop down the hill did me the world of good though as nothing got any worse than that all day

Try a new spark plug first, dont touch the throttle whatsoever untill the fan kicks in, mine will foul a plug if throttle is opened before the fan kicks in from cold like many others. Jimmy, bike ran sweet all day at the Colmore, most sections were flat out climbs in deep mud, no signs of a missfire at all

3 rocks???? must have imported two of the buggers mate, as you know theres only one in the area past few years so find of the decade if they're real ones

Errr Pete, Mars Bars????? i hope you got some of me faves "Starbars"
