See this all the time now referring to 2 stroke and 4 stroke. Why the "T"
guess it means something in onaother language.

I can be accussed of recklessly and ignorantly using the 2T and 4T designations on occassions. I dunno the true meaning either, they're just 4 bangers or 2 smoker..simple really..why they have to change things is beyond me

"T" is the alpha-numerical designation for "Time"
2T is that the piston strokes (up or down) 2 times per ignition/fueling cycle
4T is that the piston strokes (up or down) 4 times per ignition/fueling cycle

As written on Silkolene bottles
English=Stroke
French=Temp
Spanish=Tiempo
German=Takt
Internationally speaking, the T makes perfect sense and we're the odd ones out.

I thought it was 4Tonne & 2Tonne cause the 4T is bloody heavy to pick up off the deck and the 2T is only two tonne ,much lighter

I'll pay that one VMX!
Better you than me..now to sit back and await responses from the heavy 4T brigade. I think you'll find anything 4t and you need a truck license to ride it
