Montesa

Hi. Well today I managed to fit a new front tyre to my 247, the first tyre I have ever fitted on a bike. It went OK. My next problem is when i put the bike in gear it tries to move forward so i have to keep the brake on. How easy is it to put a clutch in these and do you need any special tools. Could it be that the clutch cable has just stretched?

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

Hi, I'm new to this Trials riding. Got a Cota 315r and 311 to spruce up a bit and try. The forks on the 311 need refurbished, but I can't find any info about oil capacity anywhere on the web. I've got new seals to fir, but can anyone tell me the weight and capacity of oil for the USD forks on this 1993 model of Montesa Cota? Cheers in advance. Matt

Hi , I’ve sprung a leak on my alloy tank , right at the back , looks like it’s been repaired before and not a great job , is there someone who repairs these thanks

Hi , quick question, were there rubber brake and clutch lever covers on my 77 348 when new ,thanks

Having thought that I would see if I could have a go since I have retired! I thought that I would buy a cheapie first rather than waste too much cash. Picked up a 94 314r for reasonable money, it needs some tlc, but wherever I look I can hardly find any info on it. Obviously I should have paid a bit more and bought a 315, everything is plentyful. Does anyone know where I could find any manuals handbook or literature? or indeed a supply of parts.

I have been searching the net for an exploded diagram of a 247 engine. Does anyone know of a site that I could get one from. Many thanks

Has anyone got any of the maps that is compatable with the 2 stage throttle body as the standard maps are not compatable. If so any chance you could email me?

Hi All, Got the bike out of the van and noticed the bolt that holds the rear mudguard and base of the fuel tank is missing. I believe the part is not available does any know what size of bolt it is so I can source a replacement. Thanks all

Can any of you guys give me some advice on the adjustment setting on my Montesa It is a 2003 with the adjuster on the top of the fork at one side Could you tell me what this does and what ball park setting it should be at (how many clicks) Also the back shocker,as i am a 16 stone lump it sit down alot when i am on it,is it possible to raise the rear height or just stiffen it up etc Thanks for any replies

Anybody that can share some light on this I will be most grateful. I have a 1981 Cota 349, well I think I do ( engine number 51M18349 ), I bought it as a rolling chassis and the engine in boxes. So far I have gone through the Montesa parts manual and found all the missing bits with the exception of 2 parts. Now these don't appear in the Montesa manual one usually gets online, and the difference seems to be my front sprocket is of the splined type and not the usual taper fit with a locking nut. To hold the front sprocket in place there is a sort of sprung cup and a clip which sits in a groove on the end of the output shaft. the clip on mine is broken in two pi…

only me again, ontesa done .started 3rd kick, runs ok ,tickover good but engine seems noisy, could it be piston slap? plenty comp, hope not mains, how can i determine cause . any tips? many thanks. carl

Hi all! My first post.......I have a bad fuel injector after drowning the bike in a river crossing. The parts fiche shows the whole fuel injector assembly, not just the injector. The injector looks pretty generic but I can't find a replacement anywhere. The number on the injector is FE26 BBR. Any ideas?? Thanks!

Hi all! I just joined recently to see if anyone might have a potential solution to my problems with my Montesa Cota 172… hopefully I’m in the right place. The bike has been in my family since new, my older brother was the last to use it 20 odd years ago. I got it with the intent to get her running, here’s a list of what I’ve tried to do to get it going; 1.Replaced crank seals 2.Checked spark (bright blue and consistent with a brand new spark plug, verified coil is working correctly) 2.Verified timing (hasn’t changed since new) 3.Rebuilt the Amal 620 carburetor (tickler works as intended now) 4.Cylinder leakdown test passed I’…

I am after an engine case cover for the gear lever side, ignition cover for my 4rt. I’m not a fan of the trick bits ones. Has anyone got a pic of an alternative on the bike? I’ve found an apricot one but can’t work out what bits it protects from the off the bike pic. thanks Dave

Im refitting a new tank/seat unit and would like the Cota 348 coloured in. Any suggestions welcome, im not a good enough painter and wondered if decals to sit in the recessed letters/numbers are available. Also any ideas on the correct gold colour. Cheers Mark

can any one please tell me the bearing number for the bearing in the bottom of the rear shock i think it is called the rose linkage bearing? thanks very much for your help
