Carb On A 4rt.

[andy m]

After reading a couple of posts on here I was wondering how long it will be until someone is in the unfortunate position where they have to adapt a carb to fit a 4RT. All you blokes that are fortunate to change your bikes every year or two will not need to worry, it's the ones that are buying a 4RT when they are in the

Also EFi range Rover motors into Land Rovers

Surely the reason people fitted carbs in that instance is because it was easier than fitting a new/spliced wiring loom to accomodate?

I don't really understand this anti 4RT mentality, plucking random figures out of the air for imaginary parts.

Only recently a pal bought an 07 Scorpa for 3100 thinking he had a done well, then discovered water in the carb and airbox. Was that a bargain?

So yes the bills for a 4t are more likely to be higher later down the line but the resale values should/would reflect this.

1. I am not anti 4RT. I think they are a great bike. Please read my posting, I am talking about a few years down the line.

2. I am not stirring any ****. I ride a 4 stroke myself.

3. Time will tell (future owners etc).

4. Enjoy your 4RTs.
