Re: Anone ever heard of a roll-forward throttle?

I do know of a guy with a 'roll-forward throttle' but its on a crf250x and its on the lefthand side AND he only has one arm! But on the bright side if you can get past him you know you're riding very well! :roll:

This has just jogged my memory of the recent A4DE held at Coff's Harbour(?). For the last couple of years the Australian 4 Day Enduro has attracted some of the biggest names in World Enduro and the American GNCC competitions.

I've seen some of those FCR pumper carbs on KTMs and Yamahas squirt fuel for up to 7 seconds from the factory! The earlier mods were quite easy to fix by simply limiting the operation of the pump mechanically. Ideally it should be around .3 to 1 sec of squirt time, this is all the motor needs to ...

My tip would be to get in touch with Enviro Rider on dirtbikeworld.net as he is the Trail Liason officer for the DSE, he would be a great person to get on-board with a project like this.

Hey Dan, I was just recently discussing the very same topic with a trials rider. As far as I'm aware competitors running in the Vic, National Enduro series do NOT have to have a complianced bike, they get around this bike obtaining a permit from the M.A. (I think) which covers them. I am aware of ...

New Trials Mag for Oz

Just read the headline on the front page about the trials mag that is going to be available in Australia soon and was wondering how to get in touch with the Hell Team to make sure I receive a copy? Thanks.
