Steepening the steering head angle - TLR 200
I cut mine underneath so original part of top tube remained and the closed up the gap., Some cut the top and open up the gap and then infill with a piece of steel. My welding (old 240 AC stick welder) was ok but my grinding was better

anti judder kit gives you the delay in the clutch -I had this and made clutch vague. Just clean up plates with coarse wet and dry and judder goes for a good period. of time

Drying your boots!
Despite having been away from gods country (Yorkshire) for a few decades and being an engineer by trade the thought of both spending money (mine or the other half's that she could of spent on food or cleaning stuff etc) and on something I could construct from my special project storage unit (shed) and then to add insult to injury spend 1.5p a month on electricity shocks me to the core =- shame on your brother. (no wonder you live on the posh side of Leeds). As for fancy socks - isn't skin waterproof anyway. As my years away from Yorkshire have been spent in Wales - don't mention wellies. Having now probably offended family, women, the welsh will finish my lunch - now where is that road t' lick gravel off???

Drying your boots!
I have made a stand from wood and 2 pieces of plastic waste pipe to stand boots upside down. I leave these in utility room near but not on the boiler. I have an old pair for midweek to keep my best boots for competition. My little stand does clip into a radiator if I need to dry some quicker.

Factory Bike Setup's

Montesa 4RT case saver
I'm sure mine have come with longer bolts in the past - maybe not the Apico one though. Bolts to look for if on internet will be an M6 Allen bolt - not sure of length bot if you measure the length of the standard bolt (not including the head) and add the thickness of the case saver it will give you a length to google. If stuck I can measure one of mine tonight

Gasgas vs Montesa real world weights
Interesting to compare line fior like so the beta 4t is the only similar bike. I think they are 70 kg dry?? But struggling to find a spec. A four stroke will always be heavier than a two stroke as it has more whirly bits. Only way to counter this is less metal elsewhere or lighter metal . Less metal tends to lead to weakness , lighter metal is more expensive. so it's all a bit of a trade off!! if a 65kg 4rt was £12k would they sell many ?

Gasgas vs Montesa real world weights
Maybe also the thread should read "in real world section" Not sure the Montesa is at any disadvantage in the majority of sections ridden by the majority of rider s especially streams and and rocky sections. A good long rocky gulley is bread and butter for the Mont so maybe its a case of deciding what you want to do and choosing accordingly. if you want to get the bike out of the garage every weekend knowing it is going to run exactly the same as it has for every other time you have ridden it and knowing it will stay together for several seasons and make you smile every time you give it a blast across a bit of open ground them might be worth the extra weight and engineering even if it holds you back from being able to do the best flick turn in the car park. Bit like marmite - if it was change to red and tasted of strawberry it would be called jam. .

Gasgas vs Montesa real world weights
in 5 years time the Montesa will still weight 76.5 kg and the gas gas 65.2 kg with the bits that have broken and fallen off or 73 KG with the weld to fix the bits that have broken - The wallet of the Gas Gas owner will also be much lighter than the Montesa owner Only joking

scoring
Presume stop is not going backwards. When stop allowed but no reversing if you watched where somebody started hopping from and then where they finished up they could of gone back a few inches but you could never tell at which point they actually went back but they did -5's were hardly ever given. Also I found you had to use more markers and tape to stop riders splitting sections into sevral zones each being attempted at odd angles of attack rather than a straightforward route through the planned section. As said already the simple answer is that there isn't one!!

scoring
As I tried to say - let the sections take the marks. A momentary stop should not be the decider . If people take the Micky give them a five. if the section is cleanable with a proper no stop ride then no advantage is being gained by a pause or stop so is in effect is irrelevant unless we are being pedantic . It only an an issue when a pause to stop give the rider an advantage or is essential.

Trans oil?
Modern auto boxes have clutch packs very similar to pre diaphragm trials clutches and epicyclic gear sets very similar to the small gears in trials bikes.
