mcman56 Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago I got out for a ride on a new to me 4RT and it is quite different from my Beta 300 4t. This is a 300RR version, 2018. Power is much sharper than the Beta but it seems like power is cut much quicker than on the Beta. The front wheel really slams down on the backside of logs, even a small 10 inch diameter log.. I tend to double blip most any obstacle. I'll do a second blip when the tire is on the front of the log or on top, chop the throttle, bikes roll over and set the front end down. This 4RT just drops the front wheel like a rock hitting the ground pretty hard on the back side. I'm wondering if this is the way fuel injection works or could it be something else. Could it have less flywheel weight than the Beta for less run on? I put the electric start kit on but the flywheel is still very close in weight to the OEM flywheel so I don't think the starter has an effect. Simply bouncing up and down on the suspension seems OK but I wonder if too little sag, too much compression damping or too little rebound damping makes the rear tire slam in causing the front tire to slam down. Or is the Montesa just like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemur Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago Sounds like you are riding in first gear, 300RR will pull 3rd. Montesa has a slightly more settled suspension compared to the Beta, not as lively suspension but the engine performance should never be lacking.
