Montesa

Hi, I have just got a new UK 08 4rt and was wondering about the exhaust restrictors ... Will the internal ones have been removed on PDI ? If not, do they need removing or leave well alone ? I have removed the external restrictor on the end of the silencer, should I have done this ? Thanks for your help ....

Repsol has new 2014 factory colour scheme, new Braktec monobloc front calliper, new light weight gear lever, black triple clamps and new front mudguard design. Standard model has new decal design and new red mudguard, modified front and rear adjustable suspension, light weight gear lever, black triple clamps and a optional long ride kit. Pics on Spanish Honda site.

Well It's time for my first oil/filter change on my 06 monty4rt and I was looking for some tips on the filter change with the gasket and all,as I'm used to my Ktms and it's a little different ballgame.I'm sure it's a piece of cake,however any tips suggestions before I get into it would be great,as I don't want to jack up that case gasket or anything else.Thanks in advance HDD

Anyone tried any frame modifications to a MH 349 ? The footrests look like they need lowering and has anyone tried changing the headstock angle ?

Hi 4rt owners, I'm just about to pick up my new 4rt standard this week, my first brand new bike for years , and have been looking at various carbon/ ABS covers to protect it from new. how do you guys rate these products, and what would you say are a must have ! Does whats on the market at the moment fit the 2016 model, will 2015 parts fit. I was looking at the thicker bashplate from H&D, it must be stronger, but is it wider to protect the casings and waterpump. Thanks.

Got someone here news about modifications on the 4rt for 2013 ? Whats about the rumors on changing back to twostroke ?

can anyone answer a few questions on the 4rt. i have one on the way, and would like to know what people think about the following things. do you need to change clutch master cylinder? do you need to change rear sprocket? what size what is the best combination of restrictors in/out? what is routine maintainence like. any thing to look out for. any set up tips? tickover etc. ( for expert club level ) any tips on technique for riding them. have read somewhere you have to ride them different to make them grip in mud. thanks

Hi can anybody tell me the best supension setting on a monty4rt thanks

Hi. I'm looking to expand my 4rt fuel tank as much as possible as I have to ride long distances to get to decent riding spots and I enjoy a bit of trail riding too. I know there is a 4rt long ride seat which holds an extra 2 litres but the beta seat holds an extra 4 litres and if I combine that with a hebo fork tank then my fuel problem is sorted! However I don't know if the beta seat would be atall compatible. Could I make it fit...somehow? Thanks for any help ?

am i right in thinking that the standard throttle on a 4rt is slow action throttle? if so has anyone tried a fast one, and did it feel any different?

have checked the 2005 threads on the above . my 2008 bike is no different. can you tell me if the 315 master cylinder is still the way to go? i assume my bike is fitted with a standard m/c as it is a mirror of the brake cylinder. its driving me nut's in tight turns with reverse camber as its almost impossible to apply power. just too on and off. many thanks in advance.

OK, so besides the usual "keep the revs up" is there any particular technique to minimizing stalling in sections? I am a relative noob to the 4RT and get more familiar with stall thresholds every time I ride but all input would be apprecitated and will help reduce my points! Cheers

Before I jump in What in the opinion on a 300cc 4rt? Thanks

hi all just hoping someone can tell me where to get new rear mudguard for 315r 2001 also where i can get new graphics, snapped fender weekend gutted many thanks

Hi, Just bought a 2002 Montesa 315r and am suffering from clutch drag....engine running in neutral...engage 1st with a CLUNK and she's off, even with the clutch in, hard to shift gears or select neutral...I have no manual, is there some adjustment...which way???? do not want it to be the clutch....or is some of this to be expected.....makes life a bit difficult.. cheers Mark

Hi, I have just got my first twin shock trials bike and intend to do a full restoration on it.....I fact I have already stripped it down ready to get the frame painted. No doubt I will have many questions as I start to put it back together, but I just have one quick one at the moment. Could somebody tell me what colour the upper engine support bars are supposed to be. Are they polished or painted silver? Apologies if that is not the correct name for them, but they are the bars that go across the engine at approx 45 degrees. At the moment mine are black but I know that is incorrect. Many thanks.

Merry xmas all. Can see that Rothmans 4rt for sale yr 2011. Looks tidy, with mitani exhaust and other fancy bits. Just wondering, can anyone tell me what is standard spec for this model of bike, and is it considered on a par with the repsol spec bike? Which is the more desirable? Thankyou

After a few attempts at getting up a snotty climb, having my bike on its side more often that not it decided to die on me. No attempt at kicking it off would start it. Took the plug out no spark, tried a new plug no spark. After a while a realised the throttle seemed to have far too much play on it. Tomorrow night I'm going to have a look at the throttle body and where the throttle cable fits, but thought first I'd see if anyone anyone could point me in the right direction. The bikes a Repsol. Thanks CK

The cross winds of rumor have indicated that montesa will no longer be imported to the States. Looking on their website confirms this to a point. US Montesa Seems like parts are still available but there are 20 some new bikes stuck in a warehouse that the Government wants to boot back to Spain or Japan. Will they be able to be used in a world round here? Would this make this country unable to hold a world round? So many questions. Apparently paper work was ignored and the Feds put the smack down. Hmmmm maybe honda can import them as a honda. Put one in every dealership like yamaha has??? That would be cool. We shall see...... (Note other than the official release a…

Hi there, Ive just bought a Montesa trialsbike with a view to restoring her to properly learn trials of the motorised variety ( I've been riding pushbike trials for about 4 years odd now ). To me it looks to be a very early 80's Montesa (MH) 200, and the engine number reads with a 29M prefix ( see attached pics ) I cannot find the chassis number; ive checked the headstock but there seems to be no sign. I know the bike is a bike of a state / basket case etc but it was an alright price ( read: impulse buy ) and i really wanted a good winter project to ride next season if at all possible. I also have a spare engine, pretty similar Monty lump, but with the clutch actuator…
