October 23, 200916 yr Does anyone know the rough tank range of a 250 (ish) pure trials bike? I know its a bit of a piece of string question but could you get twenty miles out of it? or is it a 5 miles of pootling round type thing? Thanks
October 23, 200916 yr About twenty miles on roads/tracks, maybe more... depends on the bike. Add a little more oil to your fuel and lean off the mixture slightly, probably get 30 out of it in that case. Not sure about pootling around, but you can get about 10-12 miles on a trial loop. I get about 3-4 hours out of a tank when just messing around in the garden.
October 23, 200916 yr i get about 4-5 hours from a tank 3.5l but thats slow moving stuff i would like to try ride with speedo and see how far i could do on a tank

That'll do the trick! Don't need anything fancy. Not exaclty sure how far a standard Gas Gas tank will go for, but will get a good few hours out of them.
October 31, 200916 yr How does the Montesa 4RT compare to the Beta 4T's 11km/l fuel consumption? Does the fuel injection make up for the smaller tank size for range?
January 14, 20242 yr I know this is a very old thread however I think it really depends on what kind of speeds your going and if road or trail riding. On a decently open trail where I was able to hold a lot of 4th gear and some 5th mid RPM and almost never going below 3rd on my Montesa I was able to get just over 23 miles on the 2 Liter tank of fuel. (Bike was a 2007 Montesa 4RT 250). When I ride a lot of slower more technical trails or higher RPM's the fuel drops and I don't get that much. I had to carry extra fuel to be sure I could make the loop I was riding, ended up only needing 1 of the 3.5 extra I had with me.
