I have struggled for years doing technical enduros on an enduro bike (I am too short and too small). Tried one on a Montesa 4rt and fell in love. The problem with the Montesa extra fuel tank is that it's not a tank - it's a reservoir. So, yes, you have all this extra fuel on the bike, plus a little seat, but the only way to get it into your tank where it's needed is to take the seat off (two allen bolts) and pour it in. Then I saw this for the beta 4t: http://www.betamotor.com/en/trial/parts/ki...atoio-evo-2t-4t Does anybody know if it suffers from the same design consideration, or does it feed directly into the fuel tank? On a related note, is a Beta 4t a suitable choice of a longer-range weapon for tight enduros? I was very taken with the Scorpa SY250F, but you can't get them for love or money. Many thanks for the help.

I did Dawn to Dusk on a Montesa 4rt (26-mile laps). Fuel was a problem, needed to carry extra with me. On the start line, everybody on their big bikes laughed and chuckled. But 10 hours into it, when they were all knackered and falling off up the hills, I just kept chugging past. Yes it can be done and it's a laugh. But it really is tortoise and hare stuff.
