Montesa

would spending the money to replace / repair be worth it

Done all the regular work, fork oil, engine oil, cluch plates, set sag, air pressure lubricated and maintaned other things.. Now i wonder if anybody rebuilt the shock for a 4rt -05, or if there is a writeup anywere for the reubild?? Searched bit could not find...

Looking to service a 315r which runs great, anything I should be looking out for or giving special attention? And how do you figure out what year they are? Any manuals for the bike would be useful. Any pointers for coolant, gearbox oil and brake/clutch fluid (dot 4?). How often should the steering head and suspension pivots be stripped and regreased?

Hi all, I need to buy a new chain for my cota 200 , but i don't have the original to check the size. , Could somebody tell me the number of link chain i will be needing. Thanks, John.

One of the fork seals on my 2002 315R has developed a leak. Could anyone advise how tricky it is to do a DIY replacement of the seals or otherwise suggest a UK based specialist who could carry out the work? Many thanks

Hoping for some 4RT advice. I have just bought a 2008 Mont having previously had 06 and 07 models, and 315s for 7 years before that. Can anyone tell me if they changed the clutch from 2007 to 2008? Reason I ask is this 08 has much stronger spring - reminds me more of a beta rev 3 for example and I don't like it. One of the reasons I have always liked Montesas is the superlight clutch, and having put on a 315 Master on the 06 and 07 4RTs I got the same feel as with my 315 - a nice bite and superlight. I find the light clutch reduces cramp on long trials like the SSDT. Strangely, it actually already has the 315 size bigger master on this new 08 one so it can't be that. O…

Anyone Have any maps they could e.mail me ?? or know of any www sites i could download from thanks in advance

Hello All - My AMAL carb body is beyond repair. I’m looking for alternative new low cost carb options please.

Im looking for advise regarding a mono shock trials. I'm wanting to purchase a mono shock trials mostly to play with. I currently have a couple twin shock trials I ride and Am curious how the mono shock trials ride. I find used bikes in the $2000.00 price range usually for a 2005 bike or $4500.00 for a year 2012 gas gas or Montesa. is there a significant difference how the early mono shocks ride compared to the later year bikes? I live in a rural area it's about 100 miles to the nearest bike shop so it's not easy to test ride. I would appreciate your advise. Thanks. jbird

Hi all. I have a Montesa Cota 311 which is is, as you know, a 2 stroke. I would like to convert it to a 4 stroke and was wondering whether anyone here has any ideas as to what motor might fit? I don't know whether there is enough space above the existing cylinder head for a 4 stroke head. Does anyone out there have any ideas? Maybe somebody who has done this before. I was thinking a crf 250 motor. I am not a trials competitor. I use this bike for cross country riding with some slow technical stuff. I know many people will say "stick with the 2 stroke". I just like 4 strokes and if I can do this conversion without to much difficulty I will try it. I live in Zimbabwe, t…

Hi, anyone know the correct sprocket sizes for gearbox and back wheel for the first of the 349s?? thank you

Are discounts available and if so what are they?

I know that this has probably been covered many times but please humor me: How do you tell the year of a Montesa Cota, 21M, 5 speed? Thanks in advance. Alan

Hello chaps, If you haven't already seen my introductory post i'm ben. I'm new to the trials scene and have recently purchased an '02 315R. I am wondering if any of you guys could give me a little bit of guidany on maintenance routines that you carry out and the sort of frequency that these should be done. Any guidance will be much appreciated. Kind Regards, Ben.
