Montesa

Just wondering if its me, both late model trials bike I have owned load up after a few hours of practice. Seems to run fine in the section but taking it for a run down the road in 5 gear it biggins to blubber and act like Im fouling a plug. I notice this at events running between section pushing hard to finish on time she will start act like plugs fouling. Maybe I use to much filter oil. I use racing fuel 80:1 mixture for fuel. These symptons are the same as I had with my previous Sherco! sam

Just having a nose through the manual and it says 50/50 mix of coolant and distilled water, question is why the distilled water?. Does it make a difference or is it for the protection of the water ways internally? Only looking at it now because its got cold... Richy

I've just bought an entire 2000 loom and lighting kit off eBay for my 2004 Cota 315 and was wondering is anyone knows of any significant differences in the loom or connections. Ta

I've seen the links to the Italian site but can't find any info on where to get the big tank and seat. I'd like to try green laning before Fun Gestapo ban everything. Muchos Gracias Z.

Hy from Switzerland Yesterday, my local dealer brought a new 2006 4 RT to our clubtrial. Looks same, only a black sticker on the back mudguard. But, on high revs, the sound was deeper and less noisy than my 2005. not much, but still. For me not enough differcence to buy a 2006 silencer. Does anybody ride a new WES silencer for the 4 RT? Is it really less noisy, as I want to ride in the city or wood and Swiss Police is quite rigide on noise... I saw it at www.todotrial.com, but is very expensive there, about 300 EURO, most expensive WES... Some source in UK ? Cheers Patrick

just got my comformation for sandifords test day (stoked) i get the bike at 12.30 ,how long do you reckon you get on it ? do you reckon dougie will be there ? cool if he is ,so come on tell me what to expect from the 4rt ,im riding beta 200 04 at the moment .

Having broken the front mudguard on my 4rt, i decided on a replacement. However, on phoning my dealer, was told the price.

Seen this on Ebay item no 8012647404 anyone know what is off description says its Montesa/honda .lookin for a TLM/314 Rear guard

Sandifords web site news article posted 30/9/05 reported the new '06 model would be in the dealers in 3 to 4 weeks, which is 3rd or 4th week in October Now it is 1st week in November and still no news. Anyone got any gossip they want to tell me, as my bike for part ex has been prepped to hand to the dealer for 2 weeks now, and still no news I am a patient person, but I know of people who have ordered from dealers and are already fed up of waiting, having sold their old bikes. JL, JS and NB could be reeping the benefits for anyone anxious enough to get their hands on a 2006 model. So spill the beans if you've heard owt

Recently bought a '03 315R. Riding in warm weather on w/e and at end of the day it was detonating. mostly at very low rev / idling. Fuel was 98 Octane + Elf 976 @ 80:1 Most of the day it seemed fine. So I'm thinking - maybe it could need the coolant replaced? - maybe thermostat wasn't working correctly? - maybe Fan? - maybe lift needle a notch? So I'll check all of above, but firstly I was going to check ignition timing ummm per the manual, doesn't look like that has any adjustment, the stator just seems to screw into the cover. So, is there any timing adjustment? Anyone else solved a detonation problem (not pinging) TIA for any info.

anyone booked the 4rt test day , how much does it cost? even though its a six hour drive sounds like a good day as long as it doesnt cost a fortune.

HOW MUCH WOULD A 315R SET ME BACK

i had a go on a montesa 4rt yesterday, i wasn't very keen on the 4stroke idea but since ive been on that i would mind a 4stroke. Beautiful sound it makes though!!

In the 4rt owners manual it states: " using a spark plug with the wrong heat range can damage the engine or cause the plugs to foul. be careful to select the correct spark plug for the conditions" standard plug: NGK CR6EH-9 optional for cold temperatures: CR5EH-9 so should i now start using the spark plug for cold temperatures? and what is the difference? cheers

Out playing today cos our trial was cancelled Anyway i didn't have any gloves on after about an hour i stopped and put my hands on the fuel tank. It was very warm you could hold your hands on it but it was hot enough to worry me. Anyone noticed this on their 4rt?

this is a question to all 4rt owners ,do you think the mont feels heavier when you get in a bit of trouble in a section than other bikes youve rode, see thing is i really want 4rt but at every trial ive been to ive hardly seen any monts let alone 4rt ,it seems round here gas gas is the most popular but then people say they fall to bits after a year same with the sherco ,so why do you think the monts arent so popular seeing as there meant to be bullet proof,surely if its a weight thing montesa could shave a bit of weight off,i dont know just seems a shame you hardly see any or maybe its just down here in devon , at the moment im riding beta 200 which im trying to like i me…

Hi all Can anyone tell me where they got thier 44 tooth rear sprockets from? I phoned B&C Express and they wanted

do you guys reckon the montesa 315 is one of the most bullet proof trials bikes around? james

just seen the new repsol 4rt yesterday, open the crate and the only difference is the stickers! you have gotta do all of the upgrading yourself. but there aint half some fancy gizmo's to go with it, the alluminium billet footpegs weigh nout, the fancy carbon fibre bits also weigh nout, and look the business too. however the thing that struck me was that on the case for the fuel injection mapping C.D they call it by its japanese name!!! are they trying to say that they already have these gadgets out in japan? or that a company as big and powerfull as honda could not be bothered to change a C.D cover!!! i know its a minor detail, and the bike on the hole seems just fine, b…

at the moment im riding beta 200 04 which im getting to like but i keep looking at the 4rt which has got to be the dream bike .anyone done a similar change ,weight? maintanance? running costs? ,come on convince me to buy the mont!!
