Does anyone have any problems with knocking due to the higher compression with the new piston. I'm running 95 octane but I get knock on low revs and high load. Tried to cure it by retarding the ignition, it helps a little but I loose the low end torque. What kind of fuel are you running, 98, 102?

Ok, thanks. I'll try to use my old map then.

Ok, that makes sense... The problem is that I didn't get any program specifically for the 280 kit, just the standard one with zeros everywhere. Is the refence the same in both the programs, i.e is a zero for the 1 map PTB a zero for the 2 map PTB?

Calling out to the few 280 kit owners out there! First of all, did any of you have any problem installing the kit? Now the big question, is there any special program for the 280 kit? I have the 2 map PTB and it doesn't come with any other programs than the standard one. Do you need to give it any extra fuel? A more general question. Why can't you use the program for the 1 map PTB with the 2 map PTB Thanks Ludde

Oh...sorry about that! I had to take it down because of the webmaster didn't like that I was sharing copywright material plus I needed the space. But the shorter clips are still there.

Strange...there there isn't a .a10 file. the numbers run from 0-9 and the .exe file

Nope, I don't have that one. I don't have much after 1990, just some WTC reviews.

I've uploaded the whole video here. I've put it in a archive and split it in parts of 10mb each so it's easy to download.

Alkylate petrol is often used in chainsaws and lawnmovers here in Sweden. Thats because it gives much cleaner exhaust gases and is much nicer to work with as it almost doesn't smell at all.

The full movie is about 28 min long, and with a rough calculation the size of it would be about 130 mb I think. But if you ask me REALLY nice I'll see what I can do. I also have a promotion video from dunlop which features Eddy and alot of clips from the 1981 world championship, I think it's from a venue in the uk. Come to think of it I also have a video from the 1984 ssdt but it's an hour long so it's too big to upload.

We're running my dad's 05 4rt on -8% compaired to the original setting and it runs as well as before. Cleaned the plug before training and after the whole day it still looked newly cleaned, no soot at all. But it should be said that we don't use normal petrol but alkylate petrol, more info here. But I think with normal petrol you could decrease to about -3-4% without problems, it also helps starting as the 05 can be a bi**h to start some times with the normal setting.

Here's the clip on the concrete steps, the last one must be least 1.5 meters, which I think would still be pretty hard to clear for many of todays riders.

I have the whole video but it's to big to upload so I took the best part. You're right about the concrete step, it looks pretty big and I think it was when you where driving those old bikes

This tape has been laying at home for as long as I can remember. I think it's a promotion video from Honda which is called "Eddy Lejeune's incredible trials technics". The only reason I watch it is to hear the sound of the bike, it just amazing. I wish Honda would do a 360 conversion to the 4rt, I would buy it strait away. Anyway for all the Honda madmen out there, here's the video: Eddy's exhibition (it's 26mb but the server is fast) A couple of questions for the gurus When was it recorded? My guess is 1982, anyone knows? In the begining of the clip there is a bike idling with blue stripes on the tank, is this a RS250?

I had a look around at www.cmsnl.com and searched for the 4rt model code nn4 and found this: 06164-NN4-305 COTA MAPPING KIT

the 290 kit sounds very interesting, but i've never heard about thumper racing. are their products any good? its a shame that the hrc 260 kit is so expensive, but you just know that it will be brilliant. is the mitani 280 kit still around? i thought they stop selling that one.

Never switched the sparkplug, been there two years now. And it works like a clock.

windlestone, have you checked if the radiator is packed with dust. I had a problem with that on my old gasgas 321, it was losing water but never boiled so i didn't notice it until after awhile. took the air compressor and blew through the radiator, a big clowed of dust filled the garage. never lost a drop of water after i did this regulary.

if you don't want to buy a Mitani clutch pack, there is a cheaper way. In the clutch pack there are four paper friction plates. replace those with four cork plates, the same as the outer plates in the pack. the clutch gets a little bit snappier but much better if you ask me. you could also replace the steel plates with jitsie's which makes the clutch smoother but without the drag.

I have the Jitsie hanger mounted and they are really good. A bit further back which fits me perfect. But they are big bas***rds and I had to modify the bracket for the sidestand to get it to work

neonsurge If you buy a 4rt you have to give yourself some time to adapt to the 4T engine. I have had one for 1 1/2 years now and now I think I'm driving better than I ever have done. In the begining it was no good at all, but now the bike does what I want it to do (almost!). What really transformed it was the Mitani exhaust system and the programable ECU, now everything just fit me perfectly.

I've got to practise on that part, I always seem to stand upright on the bike I like to use trees and branches to get some serious mudguard bending

Don't know about that but the 06 rear mudguard has a huge sticker that covers the entire mudguard. Can you really mould plastic and get it as shiny as the 05 mudguard without painting?

I think Takumi Narita is riding one at SSDT, think I saw him on one of the pics
