caddy4u Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Just finished fitting my dual map programmable throttle body (turned out to be a nightmare to get to, air box off, exhaust off, injector out), and sorted out a few other issues with the bike! And hallelujah it started! (not quite sure why I'm so surprised, it is a Honda after all) but yeah it was a big achievement for me (first bike I've had to look after myself and only done oil and filter changes so far-young lad) Problem is, I don't know what to do next, I miss having something to work on! Any little mods like the removal of the tip sensor the I can do? Also on little bit of a campaign to get the weight down a bit (not because I think it'll make me a better rider, but because its fun!) so ideas here, also recommended Future and DDM parts would be good guys!

the addict Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 You've bought a 4rt, sell the spanners and sockets on Ebay asap they'll only gather dust. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrsunt Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 some linkage plates are a good buy, slightly alters the feel of the back end making it more lively. If your really bored, Polish the alloy rear spokes, that will kill a few hours! I hope your pockets are deep if you want to get the weight down! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have these ones http://lewisportusa-com.3dcartstores.com/MONTESA-4RT315-LEWISPORT-LIFT-KIT_p_862.html Also, the Future condenser and 'current controller support' is a good place to start once the tip sensor is gone I think. Support is 91% lighter, not sure on the condenser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s.e.lucas Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 The support is at the bottom of this page but for the condenser I just emailed them. I told them what I wanted in the email and they set it all up so I just had to transfer money. http://cloud.hsit.eu/FutureCommerce/Prodotti.aspx?tipologia=2&categoria=11 Ordered the same way with DDM but he accepts paypal.

Also on little bit of a campaign to get the weight down a bit (not because I think it'll make me a better rider, but because its fun!) so ideas here ... A Mitani or Termignoni exhaust system with titanium headpipe is probably the biggest easy single weight-saving change. This will save 2 - 2.5 pounds. If you need a sidestand, a Mitani sidestand is about 1/2 pound lighter, supports the bike better on soft & varied ground, and has a tip that's elevated to reduce snagging. Also doesn't go up on it's own, many don't care for that with the stock stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know how much the condenser cost? and did you need anything else or was it just plug and play? sorry to be a pain!

steve_earle Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Spend the extra cash on Steve Saunders training, Will be more benefit than shelling out on parts, You need to spend about 5K to make it as light as a 2 stroke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyc21 Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 +1 on some cash for the training instead of bling. Best money and time I spent on my bike was on how to ride it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only used the Mitani, so can't give an opinion of which is best. Search through this forum, it's come up before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
