Montesa

I'm riding in a wooded and grassy area, so probably should have a spark arrestor. Any opinions on how much risk there actually is without an arrestor. Any suggestions on getting one?

we all know, the 4 RT is NOT one of the quietest bikes. To reduce the noice, we found a very cheap, but also very effektiv solution. You take a (in Germany we say) "tea-egg", drill out the holes a little bit, put it on the muffler with silicone. The sound is much more better absorded, like an enduro.

My 4rt has burnt holes in two sets of riding pants and i can't work out how. Holes are on my right leg below my knee and above my boot The exhaust doesn't seem to go anywhere near unless i slide off sideways to touch the ground with my throttle hand. Anyone else doing this?

ive got to put some new tyres on the 4rt,i ride all sorts of terrain ,any one tried some different tyres ,thoughts would be helpful .also my spark plugs seem to be really black and sooty ,what do you reckon ,its my first 4 stroke so dont really know.thanks

just curious is a montesa 314 a full trials bike as most trials bike i have seen the seat is more dipped also looks and seems alot lighter than mine mine seems a bit heavy and beefy just curious

it was the pistons that seized not the engine not a bit better news also my fathers mate is taking in to a bike shop to get it fixed as his friend own the bike shop so he will do it alot cheaper for me cheers for the guys

can anyone tell me if they have tried one of the jitsie air filters off ebay and if the do what they claim. jsp :madsanta:

not sure whats wrong with my bike its a montesa 314r and i was driving along today in 5th gear to where i normally do my trials and all of a sudden it slammed on it 5th and skidded to a stop and it cut out and the kick start wouldnt move it was like as if it was jammed any one help???

Spotted on ebay, tidy looking bike http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MONTESA-COTA-4RT-Rep...1QQcmdZViewItem

just tried to put the middle exhaust restrictor back in my 05 4rt (it was out when i bought it) can someone please confirm where i should be shoving it, i have tried as the manual shows ie. in the back box but i felt like it need hammering in, and it was cutting in to the lining of the back box which i didnt think was right so i have left it for now, can anyone help !!!!!

Could anybody give me a rough idea on how much a 2003 model montesa 315r is worth. The bike is mechanicly perfect but is not the cleanest to look at, has the usual dints and scratches. Thanks.

can anyone give me any help as to what the difference is between riding styles from 2 strokes and 4 strokes ? as i have just got a 4rt and my mates keep telling me i am riding it still like a 2 stroke.

I,m looking for a 247 engine to slot into an original frame. circa 1973 vintage. Anyone got one they are willing to part with. Gearbox problems on the original unit.

A recent poster to TC owns this. Never been trialled of course..........

Hello, A mate of mine has just got a shiny new 4rt from his local dealer, who removed all the lights and wiring loom. He wants to re fit the horn for road trials without cutting up the loom (just incase he ever wants to refit the lights). 1. Has anyone tried this already? 2. Will he need the relay fitted if he does re-fit the horn? Thanks for any advice

couldnt make test day cause of work, but would love to have gone. any differnces between 05 and 06? did anyone learn any secret techniques to riding the from pros? anyone tried hrc throttle body, and is it much different.

right, now ive sorted throttle ill tell you about first ride ,first thing i noticed was i felt quite high up on the pegs,clutch wasnt to bad ,power really smooth and plenty of it,i did have trouble locating rear brake it felt like i had to have my heal on the foot peg,bike did run away from me a bit going up a stream ,but it made me smile ,another suprising thing was the so called weight of the 4rt ,ive got a pick up so when it came to loading her up i was worried i wouldnt be able to get the bike up there ,well i tell you what it was easier to run it up the ramp than my beta 200 ,felt a lot lighter . i know its going to take some getting used to ,but i wouldnt change it …

just fitted new bars on 4rt ,throttle cable seems tight now ,on full right lock cable is pulling anyone else had same problem ,how did you get round it?

Collecting my Monty (4rt) on Friday Need to get it road registered. Can anyone recommend any insurance companies. My mate had a nightmare getting any to recognise it when he tried to insure his, this was when they 1st came out though. Cheers Dave

anyone know anything about plug in device for changing settings in power for different terrains , sounds cool .
