Montesa

Hi , has anybody got any photos Of where the made in Spain and fuel decals go thanks

Hi. I have a Montesa Cota 315 1999. F Brake master cyl is a Grimeca I like to go practice pivot turns in the back yard. But recently after doing them, the front brake goes to the handlbar and i have to pump it to get something back. It happens every time I do them. I've bled the system, wound the adjuster right out, rebled. Checked the caliper and all that. But its still doing happening. (the brake stays firm when I'm just noodling about but when I go back to the pivots I lose pressure again) There are no leaks that I can see. Nothing at the caliper, hose is fine, connection look good. I even filled the fluid reservoir right up, just in case what I'm doing is allowi…

my recently bought 348 was missing the front brake torque arm.No problem I thought, 2 on ebay both saying for 348 both 5155.050 .Got one and it does not fit! seems to be too long. Whats happened.Could be getting the grinder and welder out.

Thanks to Jimmyl for offering Richard Allen as having a set of forks for the Montesa 315r. I contacted Richard on September 4th and he does or did have a set of forks and gave me a price. He also gave me a price for postage and provided a bank account number to send payment. I required an invoice showing all charges, I know what the item and postage is but dont know if any taxes or other possible fees. I agreed to a wire transfer and would do so on receiving an invoice, researching the wire transfer $40 US and currency exchange fees I found that my costco anywhere credit card would not cost me anything. Richard never responded to weather he could accept credit cards o…

Hi Have just bought a montesa cota 348/349 ?? can anyone out there help identify what ive got before I go looking for parts, chassis and engine numbers match 51M24661, the frame appears to split and has a sump guard at the bottom and has been painted white (badly) should this be black not seen a white one??. Hopefully I have managed to load a couple of pics. All replys gratefully recieved. Cheers Seadogtypebadger

I've just bought an MH349 and the lock stops are the fork tubes hitting the edge of the plastic tank. I am certain my novice attempts at trials will see the tank split at some stage. Anyone got a parts manual or failing that, a picture of how/what lockstops should be on the bike please? TIA John M

The 247 persists leaking ATF when running - fluid is leaking through the underslung clutch actuator pivot, where the arm meets the engine case (it's an early model). Anyone able to shed light on what type of seal is needed before I pull it apart... just hoping to save time and order the necessary before starting the job? Thanks again, in advance. CW

one for sale local to me,year 81 with a white tank.what is there too look out for on it or do i leave it ,opinions please

Hi all. Can someone tell me if the back box on a 349 (year around 1980?) is the only part that needs a decoke? That flattened part of the exhaust under the tank, does that contain baffles too? How would both be done? Bike starts and idles great after a thorough carb clean and rebuild, but feels like the baffles are blocked on wide throttle openings. I've done the caustic soak and a blowtorch up it's back box, but I'm still having an issue when get on the power.

Hi anyone know the best way of lifting the rear of my 315r,, can't seem to find any lift kits on tinterweb! Any information would be most welcome ?

Hi, Just looking at returning to my 349 after 6 months of working on an old British bike. My bike has a wiring loom that is a little tatty. It has an aftermarket switch but didn't have any lights. I have bought aftermarket front and rear lights and managed to wire them in and my electrical knowledge is all but non existant! All appears to work but when the revs rise the bulbs blow. How is the voltage regulated? I need the lights for an mot. Thanks for looking. Neil

Hi All My 79 Montesa 250 Enduro H6 is leaking oil from the kick starter. I have found the part number for the seal, but not sure how to replace it? Do I need to just take the side cover off, or split the whole main case? TIA

Hello, I've recently purchased a 348/349 montesa cota! The frame number is 51m20333 and the engine number is 51m00221. Can anybody help identify what model and what engine it has? I want to buy the correct sized carburetor for it as it runs very poor! Cheers.

Es?I have a ‘90 MontSea 310 which I need a carb for. Can anyone tell me what size I need

Hi everyone, I wish my first posting here was about something cool or interesting but instead, I need help with a stupid mistake I made. I have a Honda Montesa Cota 4rt260 and while changing the oil, I misread the torque value for the bolt that holds the oil filter cover retaining plate In place and snapped that bolt off. I am going to try an easy out for the broken bolt but before doing so, I would like to get everyone’s opinion on how necessary the retaining plate is. The oil filter cover sits tightly in place and is covered/kept in place by the crankcase cover. The alternative to the easy out is removing the engine and taking it to a machine shop which I really d…

Did some Montesas 2ts come with a curved inner muffler tube, the perforated one that gets fiberglass wrapped around it? Are they still available somewhere? What years and models came with them? Did they make the bike quieter than a straight pipe? I have an 01 Beta I would like quieter and wonder if this is an option.

Have a 67 LaCross with a Cappra 250 63M motor. I am relocating the condenser to the coil area and away from the heat under the flywheel. Any suggestions? Should I use stock condenser or can I just use a automotive one? Bob Tucson, Az

This may seem a stupid question but I have a 1976 Cota 247 UKR which I have owned from new. It hasn't been used or over 20 years and I want to tidy it up and see if it will start assuming the seals are OK. I know I need to clean out the carb etc but is it ok to run on unleaded fuel from the local garage, what oil should I be using and what ratio petrol/oil mix please. I know that with classic cars there is also a problem with modern fuels destroying the seals in the carburettor. Is this likely to be a problem and if so is there a new seal kit that I can buy which is suitable for unleaded fuels. Thanks
