Montesa

Well taken the plunge and ordered a new 4RT('06), yes a lot of money, but just fancy a 4 stroke So the questions about what to change have been asked before, however that was fairly early on when they first came out. So here we are a year on, the questions are probably the same, but are there any more: What needs changing to make it better What difference do the changes make Was it worth changing etc. etc. Hopefully not long now to wait, so it would be useful to know what to get when I pick it up

new 4rt 06 pictures now out . very nice

How many 4rt owners have used a quick turn throttle? I have an aluminum quick turn throttle tube I threw on to see how it worked. Honestly I didn't notice any significant difference. Any other experiences out there? Wardo

:huh:I heard a story this week concerning a 4RT that snapped the internal stop off the kickstart mechanism, resulting in a trashed engine.The story went on to say that the local mechanic suggested a mod to Montesa and was dealt with very sharply. Has anyone got any more on this?

hello mont rider dudes, do any of you fellow mont riders know where i can get the lower/further back peg brackets? please let me know. Tom

has anyone heard anything about the 2006's ????

is it just me...or anyone else out there having trouble getting their 4rt into neutral after stalling it ???

I have recently bought a 4rt, and, even with limited time on the bike i think that it is superb , apart from the clutch, which i notice a few others have problems with. I may try the master cylinder mod but only if it has a different bore size. Anyhow, i was wondering which oils you guys use for the engine and gearbox? Any recommendations??

dose anyone know how i can make the clutch on my 4rt more progressive. i have already changed the standard master cylinder for the larger one, but still find it a bit instant, and hard to slip and bring in progressivly. the engine drive disengages completly the momment my finger touches the lever. i think i read somewhere on this site about cutting 2 mm off a part of the clutch but i cant find it anywhere. overall very happy with bike. sorting the clutch out will make it perfect.also have herd rumour of clutch changes for 06 model.anyone know about that?

Now that I have a number of hours on my 4RT I thought I'd commit some of my impressions to ether. Firstly, here in New England the bikes are fairly rare compared to the ubiquitous Gas Gas, Sherco and Beta armadas. After riding mine, I attribute this mostly to price, it isn't easy for people to justify the price difference between the 2t's and the 4RT. I am not sure the case can be made for the price difference, but I appreciate the excellent build quality, as well as the performance of my bike. I am an 45 y.o. intermediate rider who has been racing off-road for 35+ years, and riding trials allot for the last 15 months. I don't hop like a bunny, but floaters and medium…

well my fan motor packed in last sunday. ordered new one. wasnt at all cheap (

Hi all, does any one know who imports mitani carbon parts to the uk, or where i could get some. I noticed a good selection from Lewisport but don't fancy getting stung for import duty...again

Hi all, Just noticed in the latest edition of trialsworld, supertrick 4rt top yokes , allowing fitment of FAt bars, and footpeg mounts moving the pegs backwards....They are the same ones as fitted to the "Hope" Monts at the SSDT. Very nice, but, seing as i have just shelled out on a 4rt (after much deliberation, not to mention scrimping and saving), trick bits will have to be put on hold, for the time being. I thought some of you may be interested. Cheers

In trialsworld magazine a picture of Fujigas's bike at hawkstone is showing a switchable power mode similar to a Gas Gas Raga. This is not on Doug's bike. Any info ?

Hi there guys (and girls), I have a Montesa 315 of the year 2000, and was wondering if anyone has had a 315 and tried different carbs. The bike runs perfectly, but the usual knocking is there sometimes when i crank the throttle from low revs (i'm told this is normal). My question is: Has anyone tried another carb on the 315r, if so, which one, and how did it go? I have a spare Mikuni carb. Thanks a lot. Pete

hello. can anyone please help. out today on mont 315r. fan not working. big overheating. anyone know what its likely to be? meant to be involved with manx 2 day next weekend. got to get bike sorted. thanks

I'm collecting my 4rt today I,ve had the master cylinder changed to the larger 315 one and I'm going to fit some hebo footrests today during my set up. I've heard the standard bars are wider than renthals and some of you have moved footrest positions and changed gearlevers, rear brake pedals etc. Any chance of posting some pics or giving more detail on these mods please ?

new repsol replica official! limited & numbered , nice carbon bits , but no orange wheels due sept before the 2006 model

I've got a 97 315R and every time I take a wheel off, front or rear, the brakes tend to feel like they are glazed with very little grip for a while. After riding for a bit they start to come back. I've replaced pads, scuffed pads, sprayed with brake cleaner, but nothing seems to have much effect. Anyone have any similar problem?
