Hey Guys, I have to start this thread by saying that i havent used the rear brake that much.. apart from on the long downhills where i have time to think "i'd best use the back brake"... in other words it not "natural" for me to use it yet. Some of the guys down the club where messing about doing wicked skids to spin the bike round 180 degs... They said to bang on the back brake to lock it.. then pivot the body aroung to start the slide. I couldnt get the brake to lock at all However hard i press the pedal - there isnt the power there to lock the tyre up. No i do weigh 18 stone so maybe this has an effect? Whats going wrong? Is the fact i dont use the back brake m…

does anyone have any advice on cleaning std 4rt clutch plates,also after returning rear shocker to factory setting.cheers.

Hi, again one of these about to buy a Montesa threads. There are two 2001 models I am looking at. Both are in decent condition and quite reasonably priced. I was just looking at the images of them and noticed this. Can you explain what is going on here, the rear tire looks like its is not straight? Is this a problem or just something I could easily straighten? Thanks!

Does anyone know the website for TRW Montesa?

Been looking at this topic and have started wondering if this has anything to do with my bike stalling.I have got to thinking that my bike has got harder to kick over than when it was new.It is about ten months old and i have nether checked the valves,does anyone think this could be a problem with the valves.Although the bike is hard to kick over it start first kick usually.

Does anyone know an easy way to soften a 315r till i get used to riding (first season).cheers

Where can i get a stator for my mate from? I have tried Sandifords and they are frankly useless as they have messed my mate around for five weeks now waiting for them to come in from abroad. So if you have one in your shop or you know somewhere that has one in stock can you let me know please.

Anyone out there know if an iridium plug is available for a 315r '03? cheers

Hello everyone. I just recently bought a 98/99 montesa 315R. but previous to me buying the bike it had been standing for a year. The clutch isnt dis-engaging fully so it is causing lots of drag and makes the bike jump when changing gears. I was told this could be due to condensation on the plates making them stick or the incorrect oil in the gearbox which the plates will absorb causing them to expand. I was advised to take the clutch to bits and clean the paper??? plates. I was wondering if you could advise me on the best way to clean the plates. what are the plates made of I thought they were cork? Thanks in advance Joe

Is there any one that can help I have got an 05 4rt that destroys spark plugs in two hours riding and starts miss firing back firing you name it its doing it the plug is black in soot .Each time I put a new plug in it lasts for two hours agian. I put a new coil and lead and cap but still the same problem.

Does anyone make an aftermarket muffler for the 315R?

Dads wondering what plug type to use in his 06 4rt? the plug is always very black as if the bikes rich or do you think a different plug is needed. I think the standard was a 6 but he has been using a 5 recently but its not made much difference. May just be this is how they all run though? Thanks for any help/info Just

Hello All, I brought my 4rt in for a routine valve adjustment to a shop I'd never used before. The mechanic is definitely competent, but totally unfamiliar with 4rt's. I left the manual for him to check out the specs, etc. When I picked up the bike, he said the exhaust valves were slightly tight, and he adjusted them accordingly. Tonight I got a chance to ride the bike. It starts easily and idles well, but when I whack the throttle open it just coughs and there is nothing. Is there potentially something he overlooked or a common error that he might have made? Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, Wardo

Does anybody know what the squish should be for a 315 (gap between top of piston and bottom of head at TDC)

I bought the 315r Mitani clutch pack from lewisport and I can't get a reply back on how to install them into a 315r. There are 2 light discs and 4 dark cork, what bloody order do I put these things in?????? Jason H

Right then all you 4rt riders which throttle body would you recommend to use? the 2 stage switch type (soft/mental) or the full programable one you can alter yourself or buy programmes for? if the programable one is better whick map would you recommend? Doing this post for Dad as hes keen on getting one of the units but has no real clue which is the better. Any comments much appreciated Thanks Just

Has anyone got any suggestions on what maps I should be using in my 2 stage PTB for the SSDT? Thanks

Does anyone have the Laia Sanz ignition mapping that they could email to me. Its to go on a 280cc 4rt. Thanks.

Hey Guys, I've got a 2005 4RT that had new a piston back at the end of April 2006. The bike was not used by the previous owner for 4 of the months in between (broken hand) and i havent used it for 2 months (broken finger) (yes - the bike is possesed LOL) How much can i expect to pay - and do i need to be exact on the dates (1 year for piston change according to manual) or is this something i do when i notice smoke or something? Any advice appreciated Jza
