Twinshock

Evil Bay

Hi all, Is there an existing up and running- or is there interest among clubs/national org.s of establishing a TS Europe cup (pref together with Pre-65)?? Or even Europeen Championship like the motocross-people arr.. I might have missed this discussion.. A TS competition photo provided by Todotrial website: http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu54/patscabinet/VicalvaroMadridTS2011a.jpg

anybody know where to get a speedo kit from, the ones that were fitted to the twinshocks, i need one that works off the front wheel , (not a digital one) sammy miller no longer sells them,

Sorry double post

Is there a proper way to adjust the internal clutch mechanism on a '76 KT 250? I am in the process of rebuilding one and want to make sure it is properly adjusted.

Hi there, I've just bought a 1978 ty175 "project" to restore and eventually ride here in NZ. It's had a hard life, with many parts flogged out (swingarm bushes, wobbly gear selector shaft, stuffed chain & sprockets, wobbly steering head bearings to name a few) but a sound engine. Anyway, there's a rear sprocket for sale on here (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=148004261) that has 54 teeth, while the sprocket on the bike now has 47 teeth. Would a 54 tooth sprocket be suitable? Presumably it will simply lower all the gearing. The sprocket suits a 428 size chain. Thanks in advance of many more questions .... Ade.

To finish my rebuild i need the 2 thrust washers that sit behind the clutch basket. I have contacted BVM in Stroud but the parts have come up as NLA. I do not have the originals so can some one tell me the dimensions of these 2 washers? Cheers John

Hi does anyone know what size copper exhaust gasket i need for my montesa 247s. both bikes need them as currently they have none. Any advice greatfully recieved. Thanks in advance

Following a recommendation I'm after some 6" High Rise Alloy Trials Bars. Who sells them in the UK?? Names & no's would be good TIA

hi there does anyone know how to service rear marzocchi's i have been told that you used to be able to get repair kits so any info would be most appreciated thanks.

I am trying to find a al tank that was used on montesa 348's,I have the USA version that was fiberglass and would like to replace with al tank then use tank cover that Sammy Miller sells.If anyone might know where I can get one let me know.I have found a 349 version ,but will not work with tank cover.

Hi all, i tried to post pics of my Majesty after i finished rebuilding it, but now i have put it on ebay after only riding it once (and got second place at guisborough's glaisdale 2 day trial ).. it rode far better than expected and didnt lack in power, even though i weigh 16stone, it cost me

Hi Hopefully someone can help ! I have a Montesa 172 which the restoration is about complete, however I have a problem with gear selection (goes into first but nothing else), and what appears a very heavy clutch. What I am after is if anyone knows of a good engine/gearbox rebuild shop (or individual !) in the North of England where I could take the bike to (I need to take the complete bike so it can be checked running). Ive googled and there a few specialist twinshock shops, but a long way away from me ! cheers and thanks for looking John

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

Hi , can someone measure their side stand , the foot pegs have been lowered on my 348 , so looking to fit a universal one thanks

Over the past few months I've dropped an XL185 motor in aTL125. Seemed fine on the first test run. Not so happy first and second gear don't always seem to engage when the engine is running,seems to engage but when the clutch is let out nothing - no drive? Third gear is fine and the engine seem to pull very well. Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks

The manual says to torque the cylinder nuts on a Cota 348 from 14.5 to 18 ft lbs. My torque wrench starts at 20 ft lbs. Don't really want to have to buy another torque wrench [ another $50 ] ......... what do you guys do? Calculated *guess* when tightening? The cylinder head will be torqued 22 to 25 ft lbs, so I'm OK there.......

Have just been looking on www.inmotiontrials.com and see they now have in stock original style white front mudguards for montesa twinshocks with the 'M' logo on. I don't own a montesa but i know these have not been available for YEARS!

I have just purchased a 1978 Montesa 348, can any one point me in the direction of a specialise who can do work on such bikes? Looking at manly engine/gearbox including full rebuilds, Kind Regards John

im lookin for a pair of crank seals for a ty250 im building anyone got any new ones they want to sell
