Go for a Electric Motion. I'm 6ft and bought a Oset 24.0R new last year, I was impressed with the power of the bike but handling over obstacles was hard work. kept it a few months and swapped it for a EM. It was definitely the right decision , 100%!
I could be in the market for a electric trials bike. like the EM 5.7 , is there any upgrades from the 2017, is the 2018 out yet ?. EM web site or Facebook page don't give much new info.
I do like what I'm hearing on the new Mecatecno T18.
I had a Mikuni on my MAR, it came with 150 main jet , and 35 pilot. You might need to experiment with other size jets, for correct running.
The mixture screw is on the right of the carb, it is slotted brass facing up at you when on the bike. Should be about 1.1/2 to 2 turns out, with hot engine.
Push the choke lever up as high as you can, and hold while you kick it over. I used to need to do this on my old Sherco, found I could wedge the lever against the frame, worked for me.
I have had the same experience Spen, my Bully's never see daylight , since I got myself a 2016 4rt, what a machine, it puts the fun back into riding a trials bike , with what you can do on it with ease.
Just did the first oil and filter change on the new bike, all went well, let the bike run for five minutes, no leaks.
Next day went to put bashplate on, and noticed faint line of oil on the centre gasket line, so gave it a good wipe off, and checked the drain bolt, all seemed dry.l've looked again today and the faint line of oil is back.
I'm not sure now if this could of been happening from the factory , it doesn't cause a drip,just this faint line of oil.
Also what is the small hole on this case joint, could it seep slightly from there .
I'm going to be changing my oil's and fillter for the first time, and have all the info to carry out the work, except for the torque spec of the casing bolts.
would the bolts on the clutch side be the same Torque ( for future reference )
Don't know how many of you guys have clicked on the news of Franz Kadlec,but that is some amazing photography of the young German, on the point of no return
I'm just about to pick up my new 4rt standard this week, my first brand new bike for years , and have been looking at various carbon/ ABS covers to protect it from new.
how do you guys rate these products, and what would you say are a must have !
Does whats on the market at the moment fit the 2016 model, will 2015 parts fit.
I was looking at the thicker bashplate from H&D, it must be stronger, but is it wider to protect the casings and waterpump.
