Twinshock

One has appeared on ebay for a 175/200. What was it? Fits between carb and reedvalve and connects via pipe from the inlet rubber. Is it a gimmick.................don't remember any trials bikes with 'boost bottles'............although Yamaha YZ & IT's of that era had this type of arrangement. Can anyone enlighten me ..................I'm sure Chris (Honda RS) will be able to help me out.

What happened to that very nice original 175 Majesty that we have all been watching on ebay?

As title suggests, i need help (quite literally) . I have in a moment of madness bought a 1985 Montesa cota 330. Last twinshock Cota i think. Does anyone know if a manual in either english or multi lingo as per 348/349 could be had from somewhere for this elusive model???? Or any other thoughts or comments on the bike.. cheers , S_M.

Hi I'm planning the family holiday to Northern France. Ferries booked now need location and things too do. I'm tring to find out if there are any good twinshock trials in the region on either the 5th or 12th July (it's my holiday also!!!). Any recomendations on campsite would be helpful also, good or bad. Thanks

just picked this up for really cheap.I've found the tail light,speedo and seat cover it needed.Still looking for a speedo cable. Dale

Hi fellow Montesa owners. I know this site states Twin shocks, my Montesa is a single shock, I need some help please, I have a Cota 307 and need some info on the ignition electrics. No spark been testing the individual parts , any body got any suggestions where I can go to get the info .

Hi there. Can anyone recommend the best kind off 2 stroke oil to use in a premix TY175. The guy i got it off says to use any kind of oil at 40-1.? Also did these bikes not originally have oil pumps? Any advice welcome. William

I was looking in one of my old books and found two pictures of Mick Andrews on one of his TY's, The pictures are not that good but can anyone identify the engines? The book is "MOTOR CYCLE TRIALS TECHNIQUES AND TRAINING" by Leavitt and Weed. The Pictures are on pages 128 & 139 take notice of clutch cover and header mods!! Sorry to those who do not have this book as I do not own a scanner. Cheers

Is it possible to restick magnets to magneto, do you need all the magnets for it to work? any info most welcome thanks.

Hi Can anyone out there tell me how much clearance there should be between the side of the airbox and the exhaust downpipe on an early 349? Mine appears to have little to none and has started to melt the plastic? I believe the exhaust to be stock Montesa as I have compared this to my spare which is definitely original, the bracket and frame tube appear to be true, the only thing I have done when recommissioning the bike was replace the original silencer with a WES alloy type but this joins the down pipe nearer to the shock absorber mounting bracket. Likewise if anyone could tell me the clearance of the exhaust from the tank seat unit, obviously I do not …

Am at present trying to source parts for my Cagiva DG350. Are there any dealers with spares in UK. Any tests on the bike available. Manuals available for this model. Any help would be appreciated.

Looking for some new rear shockees for my TY175, here in Aus I can't find any importers so I'm having to look further afield. Can anyone recommend a reliable dealer as i've emailed Sammy Miller a coulple of times with no response perhaps no one wants my money?????? What shocks do you recommend guys? Thanks Austini

seen a few real nice tlr 200s for sale. would appreciate your veiws on buying one thanks,

Hi, Does anyone know if it is possible to get kick start parts for a motesa cota 172 Thanks

Bonsoir, Being dragged back to Blighty for a wedding around the August bank holiday, might soften the blow if I could get a trial in whilst there, anything on please, will be staying in Helford, so a nice part of the world. If anybody could let me know so I can start working on the wife now............you know whack the bike on the rack under cover of darkness etc etc.... Thanks vm

How long will it be before twinshocks are as modified as a pre 65 where the person with the deepest pockets wins. Some people are almost there

Anyone got any colour pics of an original Gollner kt.I am about to rebuild one but there seems to be very little info about them. All info / photo`s would be greatly appreciated. Paul

Ever since my TY 175 became 205cc, I have been breaking kickstart levers frequently. Yes they are easily available but it becomes expensive having to keep buying new ones. I have experimented with different home made designs but am not happy with any of them yet. The Mini Majesty featured on page 38 of Classic Dirt Bike Issue 2 (Ted Salmon's bike) has a kickstart lever that resembles the Yamaha item but looks a bit more substantial at the knuckle end than the Yamaha item. Maybe it's just an optical illusion in this case but does anyone know of where TY175 kickstart levers of a superior design are available from? Thanks

just got my entry list for this weekend ,seems quite a small line up,is there a reason for this or is it the time of year family hols etc? however still looking foward to it myself

I have changed the carb on my Montesa 123 for a Mikuni with a main jet of 190. The exhaust is now leaking black oily gunge, is this because the jet is too big or is it something else. The plug is a NGK B6ES. Cheers John
