Montesa

Hi guys, I've finally got what I wanted, much to the wife's disgust, an 05 Repsol Montesa. It's done 40 hours and is in good condition. My question is, what's it going to last like? The front pipe has been changed to a Mitani one, the front two restrictors are out, and the mapping is set for maximum power. Does this shorten the life of the engine? As I ride at intermediate and probably don't really need all the power, is it worth softening it back down? I really like the bike exactly as it is and am riding better than ever so if the bikes longevity is not really effected by the settings then I'll leave it as it is. Thanks, Kevin

Is there a handlebar switch with 2 settings available for an 06 Repsol ? If so what is needed to get up and running ? Cheers Scott

Whilst riding in the Manx 2 day the other week, 7 sections from the end the gear box packed up on my 4rt. It was stuck in 1st and would not select another gear or neutral. Which ended my trial. When it was stripped down the gear selector shaft had broken. When I telephoned to order a new one, I got the impession that they have had a few of these break, and that they were designed to do so rather than cause any further damage to the gear box. Quite a clever idea? I don't doubt it was me smacking the gear lever hard against the rock that caused the shaft to break, not that I remember catching it. Surely though it would be better to have a a gear lever that breaks/bends so…

With the production of the CRF 150 r does that mean that Montes Honda will be bringing out a 125 4rt?????????????

What oil will compare to the recomended elf oil for the 4rt trans? jb

Can anyone advise what work needs to be carried out to the 4RT fuel pump in order for it to fit into a Mitani flat fuel tank. Thanks

I have just put a 43 tooth rear sprocket on my 4RT and now the chain is a fraction too short. Looks like i need a half link. Is this right? Has this happened to anyone else? How do you fit a half link? Will i need a special tool?

anyone got pic's

Recently bought the programmable ECU from <mention of this company is not permitted on Trials Central>, mainly because I wanted to slow down the throttle response coming off tickover. It's too sharp for my liking as standard. First thing I did was install the mild map and a Mitani front pipe and tried it the following day at our trial. Definite difference noticed straight away. Rode off towards sections and normally whilst in top gear just twist the throttle, gentle pull on the bars and up it comes onto the back wheel for effortless wheelies up the field. This time there was a slight lag in response and it needed more of a pull or higher revs for the same effect. …

hi, cleaned the carb today and not sure which way the floats go in? the pins at the top or bottom? if i have put them in the wrong way would i have damaged anything??? Cheers james

Hi all, i want to lighten the flywheel on my montesa 315 '02. Someone of you could tell about how to made this mod?

i think huntings the word,like it sounds when running out of petrol,anyway this is happening when idleing.what should i be looking for - an air leak somewhere?plug? cheers

has anyone heard any news if there will be a 06 repsol replica coming out or if there not bothering this year ? jsp

just after a bit of feed back from the 4rt owners out there who are running with the mitani titanium front pipe on, 1. are they worth the money 2. do they really alter the performance of the bike 3. do the alter all the performance right through the revs or is it all bottom end 4. am i better off saving my cash for a reprogramable throttle body whatsit 5.do you need to take out any of the restrictors or has any one tried one of the powercraft ones yet thanks jsp

hello, new to this site and trials! have a 98 cota 315r ( fantastic bike) however can anyone tell me how much oil and which wieght for the forks please

It appears that I am collecting a small amount of what appears and smells like transmission oil in the bottom ot the air filter housing. Could be crankcase oil. Any thoughts??

CAN ANYONE POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION PLEASE, I NEED A LINK FOR DOWN LOADING A WORKSHOP MANUAL FOR A 99 315R. HOPE YOU CAN HELP CHEERS ANGUS.....

Whats the advice on the flame guard around the air filter? Should it be in or out?

Second year at Hawkstone and it was mint. But again this year the team 4RT's are deffinatly running more than just 'super unleaded' in the tank ! Does anyone know what it actually is ? . Smells like the stuff you would use on model petrol engines or something ... or is it a mix of that and normal fuel ??. If it is some sort of high octane fuel then would this shorten the life of the engine components ?, has anyone used it and what is the differance in the power charactristics ? It's a real 'petrol head' subject this one (pardon the pun, couldnt resist) Hard luck to Doug, I thought he put in a good ride on the sections that I was lucky enough to see him on... he did…
