August 22, 200719 yr Hey all I may be getting a 4rt with a 2 map PTB soon and was wondering what maps people recommend. Or is the standard maps the best to use. I have heard mentions of Maria Sanz map being very good but unsure how that is different from standard. I will get a shop to redo the maps for me until a get my laptop working so I would like to know what to ask for. I was thinking something along the line of: map 1: A road/ fast map as I ride alot of trails on the bike. But I am unsure the best way to achieve fast acceleration and top speed map 2: something a little mellower with lots of torque. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks Scott
August 22, 200719 yr I don't think this question can be answered until you confirm what standard you ride at. Bytheway I've been told the Laia (who is Maria?) map is set up for a 260cc 4RT.

Thanks for the reply. I am a strong class B rider but i sometimes ride the A sections after the trial to help me improve. I am rubbish with names so it no surprise i got it wrong. Cheers Scott
August 22, 200719 yr Author You cant ride a 4RT in competitions until you become an adult LOL Believe me I am an adult. In my centre everyone is split into A for expert, B for intermediate and C for Novice.
August 23, 200719 yr As its a 2 stage PTB, why not start off with a super soft and standard setting. You can always re-map from there. Try this website for maps. Website for Maps

August 24, 200719 yr Take the advice of the dealer and start from there, try another bike with a different map incase thats what suits, but unless you have endless time on the bike its much better to stick to one thing and learn to ride the thing.
August 27, 200719 yr I have the sainz map on a 250 2005 and seems as good as anything else I have tried. Softer on the bottom end than my brothers std 2006 but come in sharp for the bigger banks and steps etc. However I would recommend a soft map for a clubman rider, also the clubman riders down here are lowering the gearing to help tractability and ease on tight turns etc. I have actually gone other way with gearing to most, not sure if it is the map or just personal preference as I ride bottom gear on most thing but hard on the throttle. Also have a 315 master clutch cyl which I think was a must on earlier bikes as it gives smoother clutch operation to std 05/06 Ta

I prefer riding in higher gears so i always put a bigger front sproket on my bikes. I have been lucky as the previous owner has put on a bigger master cylinder so I hope that this will stop it from slipping like other 05/06 bikes i have tried. Cheers Scott
September 4, 200718 yr I've had a go on a 4RT with a "soft" map - i thought it was great for tight sections and mud... I've also ridden a 4RT with a tuned map that was used by an expert and made the throttle feel like an on/off switch (boy did it wheelie well) and was great for him (hopper and jumper type rider) but defo not for me. But would miss my normal semi-grunty standard map - so i guess my advice would be to get one map that works for your general riding (not some super harsh one) and then a softer map as above. I wouldn't want two extremes i dont see the point. Jza
September 4, 200718 yr Whilst on the subject of two maps, does anybody how complicated it is to load them? Say you have a 'Sainz' map on 1, and a more aggresive one on number 2. Could you change number 2 for a soft setting for a muddy trial, without it affecting number 1 or having to re-load number 1? If that makes sense?
