Aircooled Monoshocks

can someone tell me where I can buy a set?

Does anyone remember seeing a picture of a monoshock Ossa in the motorcycle news back in the mid '80's. I think is was a prototype that never made it into production. I'm sure it was designated a '303'. I'd like to see the picture again if anyone has it.

Hey All , Got a project coming coming my way from my Buddy's ( whose passed away ) Son , to get the Ol' girl running again . Apparently needs a kick start shaft for starters ( no pun intended ) . Couple questions . Wasn't that a 1987 model and where might be the best source here in the States ? Any worthy mods anyone might be aware of ? Cheers ,

does any one know the gearbox oil quantity? i think the bottom end is the same as a cota 242 / 330

I was interested in a cheap montesa 310 (circa 1990ish), however,it has a goosed ignition system, (stator plate etc.u/s ) and according to sandifords, the motoplat parts are pretty much "unobtanium", as motoplat wint T8ts up a good number of years ago. Does anyone out there know of any suppliers of motoplat bits. Also have any of you had one of these bikes, and, if so , what like are they? thanks

I am looking for some kickstart gears for a 1990 mont 310 same engine as 309,307 ect anyone any idears ?????????? please dont say sandifords

As title suggests, I am trying to rebuild my Montesa Cota 310, just wondering if anyone had a parts or repair manual, the engine runs a real treat, just the rest of the bike is the problem! I think the rear linkage is upside down???? Sits very low, so need some info. Thanks in Advance. Ivan

I have the chance to pick up one of these bikes but know nothing about this model. I seem to be missing the gap between the 349 wich I owned and the 310 wich was much more like the modern cota. Are spares easy to get? Did they send very many to the U.S.? i just picked up an old TY250r mono thats in good shape and has had many of that periods mods already done. Maybe I should pick up the cota and sell the TY. Thoughts anyone?

Finally after 6 months skinned knuckles.....

Probably the only red 88 one in the country. Yes , parts are a little bit of a problem!

My son has just bought a JCM 1985 kickstart missing just the knuckle left what would fit is this the GasGas air cooled engine model?

Hi,looking for some advice, The bike started running erratically and lacking any power eventually dieing with no spark at all. I have changed the coil pack and still only sparks intermittently, on pulling the side cover of the left of the bike I noticed a lack of a gasket and that a lot of crap/dirt had got in.l Could this be the cause or does anyone know better? Got one of the lambretta coil packs of ebay on advice from a forum seems okay. I have a yellow wire which isnt connected to anything at the moment. What size flywheel puller do i need i have already got quite a collection but not small enough for this. Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Hello all I have just got my first ty250 mono,an 1989 model (i think) iam trying to find out what the oil /fule ratio is can anyone help ? i will be using fully synthetic oil, also anyone know of any good sites to find out the specs of the 89 model ie carb settings, oil capacities, etc cheers pat.....

Just before Christmas i got the tip off that Lluis Gallach's Alfer was up for sale. Up to this point it was just one of those factory bikes that had disappeared and i had no idea where it had gone to . Neither had Lluis. So , before it got the chance to disappear once again i went down there to grab some photos and speak to the owner. He turned out to be Felip Gonzalez who built the Alfer and Scorpa bikes with Albert Juvanty. There are some nice old photos in this report on my hobby web. http://www.retrotrials.com/rediscovered---the-factory-alfer-of-lluis-gallach.html

Anyone here know the correct oil capacity of a pinky fork ?

Hi, I'm thinking about lowering the foot pegs on my pinky. Is it a worth while mod bearing in mind I'm going to have to pay for the work to be done and will it detract from the value of the bike ? Cheers.

Is there anyone who still produces aftermarket Pink Mudguards (Fenders) for the TY?
