Maybe indigestion Just a bit of GasGas

I remember Lejeune on the 360cc twin shock Honda using a lead weight on the forks - he would add/remove for climbs etc and even swap left to right for turns. His brother would carry it when not needed.

How shoddy is that ? Presume a last min add on and not a works bike ?? does fim rule allow things like tools or useful items be strapped on for weight or “permanently “ fixed

Addingham is a cracking venue and I must of left several kilos of aluminium and flesh ther in my younger days especially at Gordon’s Jackson’s super hard trials ? not concerned about the trucks but they do give atmosphere but would be good to have some mud and streams. addingham does get slippery but very much a Yorkshire Spain as far as sections are concerned. maybe they can have the the paddock on the top and use all the effluent to form a good stream section ?

Stupid question but have you asked them or been in touch??

Fuel injection is so reliable and consistent they are obviously trying to fill the gap it leaves by not having to mess with a carb all the time with complicated switches and gizmos. having had a 2 map switch on 4rt for many years and lap to to put a multitude of options in i found a map that suited and then taped the switch in one position. Never felt the need to change maps per section etc. fuel injection should be a fit and forget once you have the map of choice.

Will it need a reflector and a bulb horn ??

Still easier to do with the bike on its side as the cable to the flywheel cover is not stressed. Bash plate off as well to avoid any problem with gasket. And put the the "new" oil in before refitting the cover - much quicker than pouring through that little hole if you don't.

std plates seem to work ok but regular de -glazing helps stop judder. If after market plates made the regular strip down obsolete then I can see the benefit -depending on the cost.

pictures and press release out and about for the 260 model.-basically the same but colors, bash plate tweak etc. Pictures on inty web of a 2018 300rr but basically the same with stickers and a new stand

Share the deal - much more interesting than wtc. bou is going to win and everybody will still be moaning stop allowed - no stop .yes he did - no hi didn’t . if busty to gg then Toby to mont may be best move of all??

I have the old serial port with usb adapter connector cable and 32 bit software. Maybe the latest is 64 bit software is different or has different map format.

Ok tried to talk to throttle body saturday. I used bike to prrogram a older twin map throttle body so knew all was working . The softawre went through its normal cycle when reading maps but at the end came up with an error - data of wrong type (or similar) this happens if trying to read twin map with single map software and vice versa. Tried a couple of times but no luck. If ptb is a non program one normally says can’t shift Ecu into transmission mode. This didn’t come up. So not sure if there is more modern software needed -I’m using 07 rtl program. Or the throttle body is not able to be changed. The “full power “ map #2 as standard is pretty awesome so not sure there is much I want to change anyways but would be good to know.

2000 rpm is just above tickovef as well. What’s max rpm/ volume

Have used Gaerne for a long time but over this period have become less and less durable and less and less protective and more and more expensive. I bought a pair of sidi boots last year and find them excellent quality, durability and very good suppport. Maybe not 100% waterproof but after a while npn are and I find skin pretty waterproof. With good socks even wet feet soon warm up- wet suit principal .

The yam probably had most centre experts on them at the time as they were that good. Anybody who swapped mounts got better . When your mates start beating you you follow suit. I always look at what local riders do when they change bikes - better - worse - no difference then make a decision . add in cost , reliability, colour , parts I already have etc

I think the correct analogy is maybe the ossa is/was the I phone. You think you wanted one and is going to change your world but in the end just lets you down, is unreliable and awkward to use and an I phone is even worse !! The 4rt is an old Nokia brick . Never been trendy or slim and sexy and doesn’t have a voice saying “ how can I help you” but if you want to go riding all day with minimum fuss or make a phone call it does what is says on the can. ( and it doesn’t do blooomin predictive text when you type on a motorbike part)

PS And have time to worry about what equipment I need to dry my boots

Having just got a 2017 300rr Montesa - don't care what it weighs as its awesome.. I could loose 2 stone but but cant be bothered. Just want to ride my well engineered reliable bike that will last me more than 12 months

Normandale are out and about. I think the rest imminent based on conversations we had in wsw centre meeting tues.

45125-NN4-610 HOSE, FR BRAKE 2005 part number in 2007 looks to have two parts numbers - road and competion? 4 45125-NN4-C11 HOSE, FR BRAKE (ED, 2E) 1 4 45125-NN4-C01 HOSE, FR BRAKE (3E) 1

I can confirm 16400 nn4 m71 is fitted yet to check if I can talk to it .

I think the late 315’s are the dam and up to 12 yr 4rt. I think all had same caliper and masters cyl. part number should be in the manual which if you haven’t got one can be found on line if you google some of the posts on the Montreal forum . presume you are looking for a cheaper alternative to a standard new one??

Just had a quick google but could not find -how much lighter are X light tyres

I left mine standard for a while but did find the front end lift to easily -especially on tougher sections plotted for modern bikes. If you were only riding classic trials probably not too much of an issue. Best way is to leave and see what you think -can be done after.
