kevin2306 started following 1977 Montesa Cota Ulf Karlson 247cc

Lovely original machine @FHG Tyres are fit for the skip but lots of choice to be had. ive just put rockshox rear shocks on my beamish and they are fab, depends if you want original or an upgrade that works. Kev

Yeah, he was asking about the 301. The 300 cota is slow compared to the 301. The Montesa has the best suspension and handling. Yeah, the beta std runs more like a sewing machine. Never liked the 4 T Beta.

S3 HARD ROCK STEEL £65.00 ish not as glamourous or light as other handbags but If they are good enough for a rider the calibre of Adam Raga who would say that they are not "Top shelf" , plus you save a stack of money over the GUCCI ones. There is only one down side that you will never have to buy another pair of rests ever again .Just file them now and again to keep them grippy. If you are fond of Aluminium Footrests then S3 CURVE.£90.00 ish . I do not work for S3. They just make quality stuff that are then copied by others.

GOOD Day -complete rookie here - I am looking for advice, feedback and connections. I touched a 2 stroke for the first time in 30 years and I am hooked. This is my dad's bike, I think he bought it new and raced it and gave it to me in the 90s. My dad passed away last year so I decided to rebuild it. I rebuilt the carb, reused everything and it fired right up. First goal, tires and shocks - get it rideable so a third generation can try it and then I will pull it apart next winter and rebuilt it. Initial questions: - everything is original. Tires are in bad shape, cracked any way to keep them? - Rear Shocks - completely seized - not sure how to size and replace them? - Front shocks - ChatGPT tells me I can rebuild them, they work but rubber is cracked and oil would be 40+ old.

I need new footpegs for a Vertigo Nitro 250 2022. Any recommendations?
-
Is the bike moving or stopped when pulling the clutch helps?
-
Where did you get the jet blok gasket ?

My 04 Jarvis normally runs 130mm from top of compressed forks with no springs fitted, 5W fork oil is what I use
-
As I already stated , there is NO step.

Maybe you would get more on that in the specific Scorpa forum

Modern Sherco ST 250 trials bikes (equipped with Tech or Paioli forks), the typical fork oil capacity is approximately 250cc to 300cc per leg of SAE 5 or SAE 7.5 weight oil. However, it is highly recommended to set the oil level by height (usually 110mm-130mm from the top, compressed, without springs) rather than just volume for accuracy.

Andy12343 started following Montesa 300rr engine noise
-
Hi, I’ve got a 2016 300rr when riding around under load or slight throttle I get some weird noises from the left side of the engine (sounds like a bag of ball bearings) soon as the clutch lever is pulled in it stops, release the lever and it starts again, any help is appreciated

Anybody know where I can find the workshop specs or manual for a 2004 Sherco st 250? I started looking for fork oil capacity but not much found for correct year.

mcman56 started following 260 vs 301 for novice.
-
I have not been on a 260 but currently ride a Beta 300 4t and a 2018 Montesa 300. I find the Beta much easier to ride. The Montesa has much quicker engine response and initially can be a real handful to ride. It took me a long time to get comfortable on it and I still greatly prefer the Beta. I have been told that many people prefer the 260 for that reason. I did have a Beta 300 2t in the past and it had smooth power delivery in the lower rpm range. However, it really took off after the middle of the rpm range. If it was that upper rpm surge you did not like, you may really like the Beta 4t. The power curve feels quite flat and even fluffy on top compared to the 2t. You can be much less precise with the throttle. NOTE: I have the standard muffler. I have heard that the factory muffler or an aftermarket muffler can really enhance the power. The tech fork on the Montesa is quite nice and it has a much better rear brake than the Beta.

Radiator stripped and painted, then refilled with coolant. Airbox cleaned, new filter and intake manifold installed. Created a replica of the CDI bracket.

I love my Beta`s, but recommending the 4 stroke as super smooth over the 2 stroke is quite funny. I have many hours working on the 4T. Ny son had a real good running 300 4T with all the upgrades. When he went for a new bike I forced (invited him) to buy a Montesa. He has loved it ever since..

The Beta 4 stroke is super smooth if you are going with a 4 stroke, might be a better option than the Montesa if you thought the 2 stroke was a handful.
-
The Beta is the easiest bike to learn on, but not a 300. If you need a 4 stroke buy the 260. The 301 is too quick.

Hey. Sure this has been asked before. 260 vs 301 for novice rider? Im 3 months into trials and the beta 300 i bought is a real handful. A mate wanted it off me, so got my money back on it. I ride most weekends but just havnt hit it off with the beta. Ive been riding bikes for years, im just new to trials. I've always had 4 strokes in whatever sport ive ridden in and id like to try a 4rt before I have to buy another 2t. Cheers
