Montesa

I have recently acquired a 2000 cota 315r, along with a manual, but it turns out the manual is for a '99. I know that the '99 forks are very different from '00 forks, but I don't know about the shock. Anyway, since I can't rely on my manual, here are my questions: 1) The rebound damping adjuster (purple thingy) turns round and round, and never reaches a stop in either direction. That contradicts the way clickers work on all other bikes that I've owned. Is my clicker broken? 2) On the opposite side of the clicker is a screw-in plug. I unscrewed it, but all I see is a solid dead end. What is the function of this plug? 3) How do you remove the shock spring? Do y…

Does the 4rt still come with a seat, or do they assume you would buy a 4ride if you needed to sit down. The only seats you see for sale are 400 quid from Spain.

i have recently bought a new irc tyre and i am very impressed with it it is so grippy but i am not sure why? it seems to flick alot more of the mud off or is it just the compound i have also seen that the walls are stiffer could this help it?

I need a clutch basket for a 1985 Montesa cota 330. I've looked just about everywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Can the center of said basket be repaired if it's been cracked? Could the center be machined at a reasonable cost?

Trying to rebuild a Cota 200 from a box of bits. Anyone got an "idiots guide" to setting the shims on the gear change drum (shims both ends)? Many thanks, Gary,

I last went to EICMA (Milan bike show - awesome) about 3 years ago so missed this lot. Came up on my instagram today...

What font is this? Or a close one? Bob Tucson

Been thinking about trying the bike, (06 4rt), without the middle restrictor in. looks like I won't get it out without wrecking the grey cylindrical seal that sits in front of it though. Looked at the 05 parts list and couldnt see this part mentioned. Are they easy to get hold of? I was also wondering how the restrictor works as it doesn't look like a smaller bore. Does it effectively increase the length of the front pipe at the same diameter and if so what effect does that have. Just wondering if removing it will help torque or top end. Cheers Hoodie.

i'm thinking of buying a Montesa Cota 310 but have no information on the bike,Is it possible to get the year of manufacture by using the engine/frame no.KM000174. Also what is involved in getting it road registered.

Hello, I have just purchased a 2 stage throttle body with all appropriate ECU cableing and instillation disk. However, i am unable to install the disk due to compatability issues with windows 7 64x. I have tried all compatability settings and it fails to install everytime. Someone out there must be using this software in windows 7 64x. Any help is greatly appreciated. Many Thanks

Folks my 1999/2000 315 is bogging really bad. Ticks over fine sets off in 1st fine but half revs its starts to bog out to near stalling. One of the lads thinks its the reed valve in the carb... its a dellorto phbh26 cs. Help much appreciated cheers

Hi, does anyone know where I can get a Montesa Honda 349 workshop manual, 1982 or similar year? I've looked on this forum & google but can't find anything? A simple owners manual would be a good start but I have an engine rebuild to do so a workshop manual would be very useful. Cheers Tony

Question probably been asked before but does anyone know where a 4RT workshop manual or parts list with diagrams is available on line. Thanks

hi i rele want a mont 315 but dont rele kno much about em. i have a ty250 mono and its a bit heavy for the advanced sections im doing. just want to know what there like and how wild they are? (if there wild i dont know!) thanks in advance

Mind the gap! I've heard there is nothing to worry about and just to put the new piston and rings in and then I've heard its best to check the gaps? I've never done this before and currently on changing the top end on my Montesa 315r Any advice of pointers? Do I need to line up the rings? Do I need to measure the gaps? I'm a dab hand at mechanics but this is one job I've never done before Thanks!

couldnt workout why my airbox kept filling with dust particles and water, even after 2 new air filters and a new filter cover. found out that the platic had cracked on the seam where the lugs for the mudguard support brackets are, the split only became apparent when you aplied force to the bracket. sealed it up with some super sticky silicone, problem solved. also fitted some of those boyesen reeds, (thanks ff) what a difference, super strong midrange now and revs to infinity and beyond, no noticable change at low revs. excellent, cheap and easy mod. jono

Does anyone have a spare 4rt silencer kicking around in the back of the garage? I’ve folded mine in half tonight and could really do with one for the British Championship round on Sunday!! Thanks

hi,new to foum,but i have bought an old cota 200 as a project as a project and main bearings are seized due to being stood 20 years and im after some help in way of any diagrams of gearbox and all other cogs and things as i have never done anything like this before,any help would be appreciated,thanks

Hello everyone, first thank you for all of your knowledge regarding this bike. I'm new to the sport (although I've been riding motorcycles for 28 years) and reading your posts have help greatly. I'm alittle on the large side ( 6'6" 275 lbs) and I'm putting the bigger TSP spring on the rear shock. However, dispite the fact that I hear great things about the Showa front fork, I would think that I would have to beef up the front forks to? (to keep the sag adjustment correct) I know that a plush suspension is what is desired. I also know that a heavier fork oil can help. And what is the best setting in regards to the round lines on the top of the fork ? Thank you for your i…
