Before hydraulics and bikes made to break, we spent a lot of time doing silly antics while balancing. We used to use a rock or a rubber strap to hold the front brake locked on. That would enable us to change positions on the bike. Stand on the seat, balance backwards, walk over to the bars and stand on the front fender and then come back. Of course everybody has seen Debbie Evans doing her famous head stand routine. My favorite as a kid, I would score a section while the whole time balancing my bike. Have fun with it.

You balance just as you would do a proper turn. Start with bike full lock,(l or r) front brake on, knees bent weight to the outside, shoulders pointed towards where you are going. You actually weight your pegs to maintain balance, you are supposed to turn with the pegs anyhow, not by the bars. Practice both directions, don`t just favor one side. Keep at it till you can go 15-20 minutes easily. Then you will be ready to start hopping the front.

Perfect time for an oil change.

I would bite the bullet and buy one that fit`s. https://www.inmotiontrials.com/product-category/parts/twinshock/bultaco/seats-bultaco/

We actually have quite a few riders that had 4rt`s and now have 4t`s instead. We also have a large 4rt population compared to most clubs,mainly due to being brainwashed. They ride them because it is a Honda, Not for how well they actually work. Funny, my boss`s son just got another 4rt (2016), but his only win in the Expert came on a borrowed Beta 4T. Brainwashed.

The older Beta`s were quite known for shearing the key. Should just be a new key and leaving the timing alone.

You might remove the silencer and see how it runs before jumping to conclusions. A plugged up exhaust is very similar.

If you watch the film, they are adjusting out the free play which would help eliminate clutch drag. Them some bright fella`s over there!

Sure it`s sad trials riders have to change to follow the money. But every time I hear this, it gives me a good chuckle. All those years people thought we were a bunch of sissy trials riders. Truth be known most of the guy`s riding the fast bikes never really learned to ride the hard stuff!

Shipped, inside the Christmas wrap!

So did you try another dealer yet!!!

RYP shows an RQ pedal.https://secure.rypusa.com/prodpage.cfm?cat_selected=220&product_selected=551&startrow=25\ It`s actually a threaded bushing. It`s the same for all evo`s. The one for a Rev 3 will work too as it`s the same size bearing.

Back to what I would buy, the 300 rr Montesa is the sexiest looking trials bike ever! I always disliked the 4RT, but that sure would turn heads. If you live at sea level, buy a 200 Beta if you want to learn to ride well. Buy the 300 Monty if you want to look like a super man!

Sounds to me like the water was low before your ride. Go ride it and keep on eye on the fan. When you think it`s hot and the fan is not running, give it a spin with a finger. Sometimes this happens when the fan is starting to go. Or you might jump the two thermo wires together just to make sure you have no other issue.

The tank looks great!!! I also like the front brake. That was done in such a short time, I luv it.

Most clubs always have 5% doing most of the work. Thank them, or step up to help/replace them!

Yes, the `95 started with water cooled cases and then Gas Gas came out with a Base Gasket Kit to block the water to the cases. Trouble is communication was not very good back then (Is it now?) and not all owners got the parts necessary to fix the corrosion issue. Telling someone their new bike was going to rot away quickly probably was not a priority.

He is not going to answer as it`s been 2.5 years. Kawasaki parts are not going to work. Ask for help and location and you will get real advice.

I believe you need to take them apart. They come apart very easily if I`m thinking of the right bike. The whole fork seal cup comes apart.(It just unscrews by hand) The problem is the first batch of bikes (I`m guessing here) took 38X48 seals. And then they came out with 38 X 50 seals and the whole cup was changed. Some bikes got the new parts warranted and some did not. I think the original was red wipers and the new one`s were green. I`m sure it was the `95`s as I remember at the first national it was quite entertaining. GasGas had a line of bikes replacing the fork seal cups, and the Fantic Importer had a line of bikes replacing the intake manifolds on the early Sections! The early 95 250`s were quite a problem, now that I think about them. That was the year Gas Gas tried to water cool the center cases! All kinds of corrosion and expense!
