Twinshock

Can anyone out there help me find out how much gearbox oil goes in a mont 200, please? The bike is a HM from about 79-80, but I think they are all the same, even the 125/175 versions. Help would be appreciated, Thanks

Hi chaps im restoring a ossa mar 1976 mk11 , ive aquired the correct amal 627 carb for it, but when fitted it will not flood on the tickler,the fuel flows ok and theres fuel in the float bowl but when the tickler's held down it just wont over flow so the bike wont start? also im tryng to save the original IDEAL fuel tap but the black rubber tube inside has perished? anyone got a spare or knows someone who has? cheers Nick.

Hello Yesterday i purchased a Montesa 200 but the engine appears to be a lot bigger than a 200,is there any way to identify the engine size? How do i set up the carb for correct running? I will attempt to post some pictures tonight for your perusal as the bike is in very good condition for a 25 year old trials bike Thanks Mark

Can or has anyone used tubeless tire with a tube in it on a tube style rim.I was told that it will work fine,and that they hold on to rim better!!!!

On the verge of getting some BPS shocks for my TLR anyone got their own veiws on them, who uses them?

Have tried all suppliers as suggested by TC people. No luck. Has anyone got a Cagiva SX350 Alu Blu engine lying around. the piston and barrel are the same I believe.

:agree:

I am just about to put back together the bottom end on my Montesa Cota 247cc, Should I put the gaskets on, 1) dry 2) Small amount of gasket solution 3) lightly greased, I have read different ideas on this subject Thanks John H

OK. As usual with me a bit complicated but i will try to keep it simple. I've just bought a std TY250 twinshock as a bit of a "project" as if i aint got enough The front forks are pitted so my options are? 1. Have them rechromed. Problem everybody says they are crap forks anyway. 2. Fit a set off a TY250Mono. Have you ever tried to get hold of a set of forks off a TY250mono that arent knackered already? 3. Find and fit a set off something else. Now this i find attractive as there is more chance of finding something than trying to find a set of mono ones. Plus if i can fit a set of 35mm dia ones the fork yokes dont need machining so much unlike with mono TY ones a…

Got a sherpa 340 199b. the crome brake linnings are chipping off. Ive been living with it for quite a few years, but I think I would like to do something about it now. Does anyone know of someone state side that can fix this and possibly improve the design to give better preformance.

I have recently got hold of a 159 which has been stored for a few months but was definitely a runner (and I can trust the guy I got it from). If I crank it over with the plug on the head I can't get a spark. I can't see anything obvious, the points check out with a multi meter and have tried a spare ignition coil which made no difference and have also tried more than 1 plug. For the wiring into the 'chocolate block' is it correct that the red cable from the flywheel magneto goes to the black lead in the ignition coil? Any advice gratefully received.

I now have a cota 247 Frame no 21M253** circa 1979/1980 I have seen a couple with mods done to the Rear Shocker angle and also the bottom tubes being replaced with a full (more modern style) one peice sump guard and obviously replacing the standard footpegs with some more modern ones. Does any one have a handbook/maual available with all of the fork/gearbox/clutch oil amounts etc Any advice would be a great help. Thanks & a happy New Year Wobbler

Can anyone refresh my memory about setting points on a 2 stroke, as i have'nt messed with points for about 15 years???

I have rebuilt the bottom end, but i have a single thrust washer left over, it is a strange one as it has splines on the inside any ideas, where i should be ? It is approximately 35mm in dia with a very shallow set of spline on the inside

Does anyone have the dates and clubs running the remaining rounds of the National Twinshock Championship that Congleton and Oxford Ixion have ran?

Can anyone identify this frame on a bike i have just acquired Honda xl250 0r rs engine fitted think engine is incorrect frame is well manufactured and looks professional

I have stripped down the bottom end, to replace the main bearings and seals. I am looking for advice in which order to reassemble the crank and main bearings. Do you heat the two halves of the casing and fit the main bearings into the casing first and the fit the crank ? If so how do you know the position the bearings in the casing as there is no lip to push them up against.

What's the way to go with this? I have a crappy, dented delaminated tank. I don't need beauty....just keep the fuel where it belongs.
