Montesa

Hello everyone does anyone know where i could get a set of points in the UK for my montesa cota 200 . Thanks in advance Richard.

Can anyone help with the standard sprockets on the 247 Cota please? I'm using a 520 chain if that has any bearing on things..

I love my new 4rt but have recently had an issue and wanted to share my experience to hopefully save somebody else time and money. My bike started cutting out on me at a trial, sometimes I was riding between sections in 3rd and 4ty gear, sometimes I was in sections in 1st and 2nd gear, it sometimes would kick straight back up and sometimes it would take 10 kicks to get it going again. I rang the dealer “inch perfect trials” and explained the problem, it sounded to them as though it was the bank sensor so John talked me through how to by pass it. We hoped that sorted it but after going out to practice I soon realised it wasn’t that. I spoke again to…

As I get going on my restoration of my x2 Cotas, anyone know where I can find the Ulf Karlson graphics? Oh and is there a pantone for the Montesa Red used on the tank unit? Cheers

Hi all. Just wondering if any of you still own a Montesa Cota 330 ? Used to be a few on the forum at one time.. Just doing a couple of wee service jobs on mine as its been stored for a few years !!. Cheers Sandy

Now then all, new to the forum so apologies if this has already been covered. I am having a pretty specific issue with my rear brake (98 Cota). It bleeds up fine, pistons move ok, and push out no problem, and there's no fluid leak. However, when in use, the pistons push out no problem until the pads contact the disc (brand new disc+pads), and then when any more pressure is applied the system seems to 'jam'. Essentially, the pedal feel goes dead firm, and even when standing with all my weight on the pedal, I only get a small amount of pad movement which is enough to contact the disc, but not lock the wheel or give any major brake force. I can only think that some…

Hi I'm restoring a 1980 Cota 247C that came to me with the crankshaft broken at the counterweight keyway on the left hand side. Common enough problem. I managed to get a replacement LH half from Cyclesavant in the states. Before I get the assembly rebuilt with a new conrod kit I'd like to replace the ignition side half also, as the keyway and taper both have damage. So I'm looking for a decent ignition side half for a late model with the 20mm pin size. Part number is 2160.00803. Anybody got anything or know of a source either for a crank half or a crank assembly with a good usable ignition side? Any help much appreciated. Hoodie.

Hi all, I've had a bit of nosing around and can't find anywhere with a good choice of graphics for the 4rt, I have the old 2010 shape, but possibly changing to the face-lift 2014 rear fender, does anyone know where is a good place to get them? Or get some custom made, I tried danger uk but they don't have the template, thanks!

I have a montesa 247 21m which had the engine re built before I got it, the problem is it wont select second gear. Can anyone tell me which sliding pins go on which gears. there are 2 lengths, 19mm pins ( x 3) and 2 lots of 24mm ( x 6 ). I think I might have them in the wrong gears, I only have the Haynes workshop manual which covers all models and is a bit vague on this subject. The selectors are straight and the gears are in good condition. Thanks

Just brought myself a cota 247 1975 model...Could someone let me know what make of gearbox and clutch oils you guys use... Thanks in advance

Hi all, I have a 2010 4rt repsol, I am looking to change the rear mudguard to the 2015 shape to get rid of the old rounded style plastic, also I have the old style higher tank, would i need to swap the tank for the 2015 slimmer tank to allow the mudguard to fit? Or does anyone know where I can get hold of a 2015 style rear face-lift mudguard that will fit to the old higher tank? Thanks all

Does anyone know of a source for 310 kickstart gears? There's the ratchet gear and then a carrier. A friend just had one fail and opened up his spare engine to pinch another, only to find they're damaged too ?

Hello, I am trying to rebuild a 348 and only have a parts list, no proper manual. Before taking it to bits, the gears changed but after a mechanic friend fitted bearings and seals and clutch and reassembled, at most 1 and 2. I took the left side case off and found the situation in pic 1 The punched dot is lined up with the dash, which should be right? The parts list has parts as shown in pic 2, which were and are completely missing, and they wouldn't fit because there is no square-section fitting in the middle of the gearwheel as shown in pic 2. Can anyone help please?

So, at the point now of trying to get some life out of the Motoplat ignition. Measured the coil - Primary 3 ohms, secondary 13.8 k ohms. No short to earth. Happy with that. The engine is grounded - Multiple points checked from engine to frame and fittings. Condenser is mounted under the tank. Body is grounded. Red wire to points is not grounded. So, in the ign area I have 2 wires to connect. Red (as already mentioned) is to the condenser. Yellow goes to a coil. The black wire on that same coil goes up to the ignition coil. I can attach the red wire and when the points are closed there is continuity, Closed Circuit, and when the points ar…

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone can help me here. I’m restoring a 1980 MH349 Cota and I need a set of 7mm hex drive countersink screws for the engine case. I’m struggling here been trawling the net and the best I can find is a used set in the USA for extortionate money. Thanks guys.

I dove into my winter maintenance today on my 05 4rt. I went to change the fork oil and noticed the spring leg was binding mid stroke. After I tore the fork down I found a small ridge from a dent in the lower slider. I know the proper course of action is to replace the slider. I’m not sure I can get the part. One online source says available in 2-3 days another says extended back order due to covid and no sort of timeframe. I’m in the US so it will likely me harder to find one. if I can’t get a replacement what are my options? I had the thought of using and exhaust pipe expander with hose clamps on the outside to support the leg to hopefully push the dent out en…

Probably a dumb question given the current situation. Does anyone know if there will be a 2021 260 4RT (ie. the standard bike)? I would expect (& totally understand) not but good to know before I buy a 2020 one. Wish they would do it in red again even if nothing else changes...
