My wife, daughter and I have had a few diffrent boots and from our end I would say... The big advandage is flex and peg feel the trials boots make balance and control so much better. The boots: My wife has a set of the Gaerne Pro Tech and she has a high arch and with the softer sole she has indicated on some longer events that its a bit soft for her and she wanted a boot with a bit stiffer sole. My daughter as it turns out has the same size feet as my wife and loves my wifes Gaerne's so we got a set of Alpinestars No Stop boots for them to both try between the two of them and they could pick between them what they like. My wife likes the stiffer sole of the Alpinestars and my daughter likes both so I think my wife will end up with the Alpinestars. I have low arches and somewhat sensitive feet and after trying a set of my friends Gaerne's I ended up with a set of the Alpinestars. Over all I liked how the Gaerne boots where very slipper like but needed a bit more support with my feet. Hope that helps.

I would first check all your connections, with extra effort on your grounding. Last time I had anything like this on a bike it was grounding connections. Good luck.

Maybe the 300RR you where on might have had the bars swapped or modified?

If I was getting a set of Michelin tires for free I would go with the X11 Competition. There isn't many left but not being an advanced rider there isn't really a good reason for me to have the thinner side walls of the X-Lite. If I was paying for a tire I think I would go with the new 803 GP as they have better grip than the older 803's and are way less than the X-Lite. Hope that helps.

I am not sure about Poland, however I believe that you can custom order from Clice. I know that some US trials clubs have group ordered trials outfits from them. Good luck.

It will be a big help to covering the rear brake to have trials boots!

Hope we are able to order them in the states soon...

If you want gas powered and can find a TY80 they are great for kids. Beta makes an 80 Sr with 21"/18" wheels that can be swaped with a little effort to the Beta 80 Jr with the small 19"/17" wheel set that work well for growing into a bike. My vote if you don't need the extra range of a gas bike is the OSET's, great reviews and not hard to work on or upgrade.

Just ride more between events to keep the fuel rotation up!

The only time I have had symptoms close to what you are describing it was electrical connectors. Good luck.

I admit I would go with the 315 if I could find one over the Beta but wouldn't think twice about an 06 to 08 Beta if I found a nice condition one first.

guy35, This is my 2 cents take it for what its worth. Clutch useage down hill... on my wifes 08 Gas Gas 125 I don't often if ever use or pull in the clutch when doing a section going down hill(s), however with the extra engen braking of my 07 Montesa 4RT I have found I do on occasion use the clutch to keep better control by preventing the rear from sliding. On the larger bore bikes with higher compression heads etc. I could see where this might be the same on a 250 to 300 2T, however I would guess a little less common. Something to think about maybe?

Double check your bolts? The last time I was on a thread about looseness in rear suspension it turned out he had one of the shock bolts had backed out a bit and only needed to re-tighten them. Don't have an Ohlins on my 4RT so if that isn't it I can't help. Best of luck.

You have some great advice here! Compete against yourself and have fun, that is what its all about. One more thing that might help... I like to find a video of someone doing the same thing I am trying to learn (Example: Ryan Young Video) then to try it several times and when I think I am doing ok then I video myself doing it from several angles and then watch it in comparison to the other video. Best of luck and what ever you do keep at it!

Wow, 2-3 times the cost... bit much if you ask me. Good luck.

Not sure where you are Smokey, but you can get folding trailers that will stand against a wall. I am not sure on size or cost but have seen them when I was looking into what I wanted for moving my families trials bikes around. Good luck.

Sure sounds like an air mix issue. Are you using a spray bottle to check everything from the intake boots to the cylinder head? Have had friends get a small leak in the bottom gasket causing this same symptom. good luck!

I agree, he is awesome!

From what I remember reading it was to stop the front wheel and bike in the event of the unexpected, I also understood it let him choose to stop the power to the front wheel by pulling on it when going downhill as it had a tendency to make the front want to drop when first cresting a hill. Or at least I seem to recall reading something about that...

Trials bicycle gloves like the POC gloves or similar might be an option out in the UK. People like Danny Macaskill ride with them and I would expect a great second skin like feel. Also knowing what you have already tried might help us avoid suggesting something you already know doesn't work and give us a comparison to go on.

Guess I can see if my dealer can/will ask as well.

Well maybe its time to consider Canada as it is looking like they have them now... http://www.holeshotracing.ca/pre_owned_detail.asp?veh=4701204&nv=y Turns out they are about 10hr drive away from me and might be a bit less complex than shipping from Europe.

I know the kit wouldn't really make a 4RT into a 4 Ride but it would be about as close as I can get without importing one. Now if it is really only around $700 then I do admit that it is tempting... I also seem to remember it is more worth doing if you do more than one bike, but I don't know if that is really incorrect or not. As for road registered it depends on the state, there are some states that will let you road register an off road bike if you meet set requirements. As for the missing bits to make it a true 4 Ride, I think I could live with that myself to get myself close. That and instead of getting a used 4RT I could get myself a 300RR to replace my 07 standard insted of a second older 4RT. (well I can dream can't I?)

need to bring this thread back up.. I want one so bad... us poor US market just can't seem to get it... maybe I should just get a second 4RT and build one? 4 Ride kit: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MONTESA-4RIDE-FULL-KIT-PARTS-MONTESA-4RT-NEW-MONTESA-4RT-CHANGE-TO-MONTESA-4RIDE-/182228795532?hash=item2a6daec08c:g:d0sAAOSwJqpXoNIF

Last time I needed some I went to my near by MC shop, they had it on to shelf.
