I would agree that with the catch bottle removed it would be possible to put a pump there. However the amount of work to do so and possible issues like pump quality/longevity and having to making sure its doesn't cause any other unexpected issues is just to much in my mind.

Not sure about Europe but in the US my 300RR is registered as a Honda.

When they do, my guess is that it will be an E-Bike... and at this point there isn't quite the market to justify that yet from what I have seen.

The feel is quite different but power delivery on most trials bikes is a lot more linear so other than compression braking on a 4 stroke and few more lbs (6 to 10 depending on the bike) the difference isn't as noticeable. If you are close enough to do a ride with me I can bring our 2T 125 and my 4T 250 so you can compare how they feel... FYI. there is a few trials riders I am aware of east of the Boise area depending on your location as well but no official club out that way like OMC.

Boise OMC has a trials aria and there is a group of us that ride out in the area. PM me and I can setup a demo ride with you as I have a buddy bike you can try if your close enough?

I had a little of that on my 07 4RT, as jrsunt said I cleaned it out, checked the valve clearance (was good) and changed the plug and it went back to normal again.

There isn't anything that I can think of that wouldn't work on both as for external bling. Most of the differences are inside the engine or suspension and things like the foot peg hangers witch would swap between them and have the pegs sitting in a slightly different location.

I haven't had this issue on ether of my 4RT's so have never checked into how this would be done. I am aware that on most EFI throttle bodies there is usually a set screw or some other fixed stop that prevents it from going past the 100%. If you can find it its usually just an adjustment that isn't to hard to make. If you can't find it I can take a look at the ECU/throttle bodies of my bikes and see if I can figure out...

I also see a past post where you said something about it working if you put 12v to it? Are you saying that if you connect a 12v battery everything runs fine? If that is the case it could be a number of things... a bad capacitor, a short in the system (had a fan motor short on my 07 causing a problem like this), the rectifier, or maybe something wrong with your stater... Not to point a finger at any of this if I misunderstood your post.

If the ECU thinks the throttle is opening past 100%... You can test this by loosening the throttle cable enough so it will not pull it full open. If it then runs fine without issues you know it thinks its going past 100%. However with the fact that you don't get steady RPM's when opening slow it sounds like that isn't likely the issue.

Haven’t had mine long enough to know about that, however they seem about the same quality as my old Alpinestars and Gearne’s and would expect them to last about the same. I do remember reading a few post about the first batch having a bit of quality control issues but all the recent posts I have seen as well as the few people I know with them seem to think they are decent...

I am not sure I would go with different hangers on a 4RT/300RR, though upgrade to the pegs and bolts are fine in my mind. As Lineaway indicated the frame can be broken if you put on stronger hangers and take a big hit. I would rather replace a set of bent hangers then have to weld a frame. Hope that helps.

Have a pair of the Alpinestars and also have flat feet. (Though I am not sure how mine would compare to yours... ) I like the protection they provide and the stiffer sole than the Gearne’s. The new Alpinestars are a touch narrower than the originals in the same size but not much and find them a more true to size fit. They don’t cause me any pain though there was some brak-in time as they are stiffer than Gearne’s overall. hope that helps...

If you look close you can clearly see his hand on the bar still and finger on the front brake. Definitely a spectator behind him leaning against the tree.

I think a combination of correctly setting/inspecting and a rule change is what is needed myself, but if I only had one to pick from I would say correctly inspected/set sections would be the more important what ever the rules are...

Not as fast but I find using a spray bottle of white vinegar over my helmet and then left to fully air out and then give it a good spray down with just water to remove the residual vinegar smell seems to disinfect mine fine.

The one thing I know for sure was my Airoh TRR ran small as many others told me they would. If your close to the top of the range for a size I would suggest going up a size.

I would expect the same, just press out the bearings and replace. I have seen images of some that got left so long they messed up the dog bone (elongated the openings) but that is a rare case caused by sever neglect.

Not sure where your riding but the local trials organizers in both of the groups I ride with catering just fine for the average riders...

If the clutch is near the bite point and a little blip makes it jump you might also consider changing the type of transmission oil to something a little thicker to get a more progressive clutch action. I know a lot of Gas Gas owners that use very thin oil like ATF, GRO, or another thin oil. On the thinner side I like Maxima MTL 75 witch seems to be more progressive over the ATF but still quick overall, however the Maxima 80 or 85's can slow the clutch action down a bit more however will feel more fluid drag when cold so be aware. Not sure this is helpful but hope so. Good luck and keep at it!

I can't say that isn't a factor... ?‍♂️

I like that idea, however I would think you would still need a minimum limit for spectators and maximum limit to keep the riders moving and might also need a maximum total limit to keep things flowing as well. My 2 cents. Accessing we even ever see this as a possibility.

In short it doesn't line up with their (Montesa's) primary goals for Trials GP and X Trials. Just to much distraction and risk I would expect.

I agree with this only if your allowed to stop and have a foot down and then get a clean. If you keep your feet up when stopped, that to me is a skill and I think they are fine with a clean. My 2 cents. ?‍♂️

The stock stand dose this over time without any modification. When it happened on my 07 I found the stand didn’t sit very nice on my garage floor but did work. Wasn’t long after that it was nearly folding forward and collapsing on its self. To move the top spring post forward in my opinion is a better modification as over time you can re-weld the stand and keep it working longer before it starts to collapse again and have a better footing when on its stand.
