djr_austin Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Montesa people Anyone have recommendations on running new maps for my 4rt. I'm new to the bike and to the sport. I was getting more stalls than I should, so one of the local guys had me do a "tree test" - front wheel on the tree and slowly let out the clutch. My new ride died way to quickly cos I was running the wet map. On the dry map it was a little better but still died too early. So maybe I just need to tune the mix here - or maybe I need to understand this whole programmable map deal and start to work with the system. Comments, recomendatins, thoughts? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Nothing wrong with the maps. Are you running the 1800 rpm idle speed. That`s usually the problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
degzie Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Ride it as is and learn to read what the bike is doing - nothing wrong with the mapping and no need to re map it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyl Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) Just don't ride into trees!!! didnt think throttle bodies were remappable on standard bikes. suggest work on clutch adjustment coordination between throttle and clutch.

That`s usually the problem. Silly question: how do I know if its 1800 - just guess it? This is likely my problem. Yes on the course throttle and clutch control is the root - I'm just trying to make sure the base is set up right. I've had a couple of guys on 2 and 4 strokes show me a lot more "resistance to stalling" so there's certainly something to improve here... Thanks!

lineaway Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Read the manual and you will see it`s std on these bikes. A meter is best, but by ear it`s a too fast idle. I don`t ride one, but we have 8 of them at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stroke4stroke Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 There are revcounter apps available - one was miles out, the other was close (checked on car at tickover). Free and will let you know if you are in the ballpark at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guys Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 I've got a hour/rev counter on my 4rt, makes it also easier to plan maintenance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guys Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 It's the black one on this page. It's the smallest I could find. Just stick it to the frame out of harm's way, wind the cable around your spark plug cable and Bob's your uncle. http://www.trailtechproducts.co.uk/acatalog/Tach_Hour.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
