Montesa

I've seen (and it's been mentioned on this forum) about the 2017 300RR, but I've not seen anything in English. Also, I've not seen anything about pre-ordering a RR, the same as I did with the standard 4RT and Race Replica (Repsol). Is this an indication that Honda UK might not be bringing in the 300RR 2017 this year?

Hi, I bought one of the new 2017 260RT's that were being sold recently to replace my Beta 200 and I really like it apart from one thing. I tend not to ride with my feet really close to the frame and am therefore finding the footpegs quite narrow under my boot. Does anyone know of some wider footpegs that fit? I don't mean wider in terms of front to back, I mean wider as in stick out further from the frame. Thanks

I'm intending to replace the standard kill switch with a lanyard type as it gives me a little more assurance when I jump ship. Will be using one of the standard magnetic type switches as replacement. Is this a straightforward mod where I follow the wiring loom from the switch until I come to bullet connectors and simply unplug the old ones/plug the new one in? Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

I have a 2017 4rt that has only been used handfull of times and is a poor starter and when it starts it coughs and bangs also conpared to my 2016 4rt it feels very easy to kick over has anyone experienced this

Is anyone having trouble keeping tire (tyre) pressure in the rear...riding buddy airs up, rides one or two sections and the rear is flat. He remounted the tire, changed the air valve - no help. I saw part of a conversation on Facebook but now can't find it. Appreciate the help.

Does anyone know if the springs on the 4RT Standard Ollé shock are the same as the Ollé shocks fitted to the Beta's I am after a heavier spring and all the aftermarket springs I can find are only for the Showa shocks but a couple of places list a range of springs for Ollé shocks for Beta's

Looks like the 2017 model info is out. Doesn't look like a 300 engine. I can't really see any differences besides aesthetics? Anyone else see any changes?

an anyone tell me where I can find a parts manual for the 2017 260 4RT and the 2017 300RR. Thank you

Anyone heard anything? They seem to be leaving it quite late this year?

Hi all, its been a while, but I'm returning again ! just looking for some advise - reviews on the 2018 4RT - it'll be my first 4 stroke, previously had Beta's Rev's and Evo 2t's Just don't want to make an expensive mistake ! thanks in advance

When do Honda/Montesa normally release new model information/upgrades?

Will there be a new 4RT for 2019 and if so when? Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere.

Help please , I was riding in a trial today and whilst in a section my 4rt just cut out, I couldn’t get it to restart, did the usual reset but no joy, it was like as if I’d ran out of fuel but I hadn’t. I Retired and went home. Any ideas ?

I last went to EICMA (Milan bike show - awesome) about 3 years ago so missed this lot. Came up on my instagram today...

Hello again, I was just wondering if anyone has bought one of the 2020 4rt.'s the base model, or repsol one its meant to have less engine braking. Has it? Anyone tried one? Anyone tried one who had an older 4rt,, 250 or 260? any noticeable difference? cheers

Hello. I've just bought a 2020 4rt 260. Was wondering how people route their front brake hose cable. Mine is clipped to the top of the fork slider and from then up it is not routed or clipped to anything. I'm worried the hose will snag on something i.e tree etc. It doesn't look like it simply passes through the headlight assembly like on my beta, or does it ? Does anybody have any photos how they have done theirs? There doesn't seem to be any space on the headlight to mount a hose guide. I'm sure it shouldn't be free floating as it currently is. Thanks.

Hi there. I'm coming back to trials after a 6 year break. Cannot believe the cost of used bikes now. What happened? I've had four stroke trials bikes before as well as two and am considering a new 2020 Montesa 260rt. Mainly due to the Honda 6.9% interest rate which would suit me. It's £5999. Dealer says he will throw in registration and road tax. Delivery will be £20. Couple of questions. 1. If I wait a few months will Montesa release a 2021 version of this and any left over new 2020 bikes drop in price? I think the Honda 6.9% offer ends in may. 2. Shall I try and strike a better deal? I'm not part exchanging anything. I stupidly gave away all my bits with…

Could anybody tell me what map 1 and map 2 are best suited for. I've ridden both modes on the same section and can't notice any difference. On my Beta 300 2t the map switching positions are very noticeable on how the bike performs. Also where have people repositioned this switch? I seem to constantly knock it into map 2. I think my lanyard is hitting it. I saw one mont where the map switch was neatly mounted on the radiator hose by the kickstart tip

Been fitting my swing arm protectors. I had to take the side stand off to fit my swing arm protectors. I thought this would have been a ten minute job. The drive side was just two bolts but the side stand side was a nightmare. Unless I was being totally stupid it appears you have to undo the side stand pivot bolt to create space to get a socket on the two m8 bolts that hold the stand to the swingarm. I don't have a spring puller so had to refit springs first then lever side stand back into position and get pivot bolt through. I spent a whole hour trying to line up this pivot bolt as I couldn't get it to thread into the threaded section of the side stand. It went straight …
