  1. Thanks jonnyc21. Sorry , I should have said I'm in the south of England.
  2. OK thanks jonnyc21 . Any idea whose good for Montesa spares?
  3. Hello people I've recently purchased a 2006 4RT with a bit of clutch drag. The bikes always been run using Elf HTX 740 gear oil. If I hold the clutch lever in the clutch drags , if I blip the throttle the clutch stops dragging but then when I let the clutch out and pull it back in again it drags until I blip the throttle again. When the engine is off and the bike is in gear with the clutch pulled in the bike wheels quite easily. I've taken the clutch apart and carried out the clutch mod as detailed in the beta section i.e. removing any excess glue and burrs etc .All the parts looked good except the clutch plates were slightly discoloured from heat I guess and 2 off them were very slightly distorted by 0.004" in one area which according to the manual thats the maximum tolerance so I thought it may be ok as it was only 2 of them. I put it back together with fresh Elf oil and it worked lovely for about an hour and then the drag was back. I've just drained the Elf oil out and tried ATF and the drag is the same. Do I need a new clutch kit? Or do I need to change just the metal clutch plates to maybe the dimpled ones? Or something else? Theres no air in the hydraulics and clutch lever is set up ok. Hoping for suggestions please. Many thanks.
  4. Just found the parts list in the back of the manual! Did say I've only just got the bike. Looks like its supposed to be blanked off unless you want to drain it. Many thanks .
  5. Thats what I thought , surely a filter with a large ish hole in it can't be much of a filter ! Its not mentioned in the hand book?? I'd have thought there should be some kind of device on the end. ?? Some one must know. I'll keep digging. Thanks jonnyc21.
  6. Hello , I've recently purchased a 2006 4RT and noticed that the air box has a spigot on the bottom with a hole through it. I guess this is to let water out, but should it have a pipe or something attached to it? Many thanks.
  7. Many thanks. I'll give them a try.
  8. I'm on the Isle of Wight , Southern England.
  9. Hello people , can anybody recommend somewhere to buy the parts for a top end rebuild of a 125 Sherco . I'm not sure of the year but I'm guessing it must be about 2003 ish. I'm probably going to need a barrel and piston etc. Many thanks.
