Montesa

I have just bought some new 2004 tank stickers for my mont and i'm wondering how to put them on. Are they like the stickers you get in a little plastic model kit? .... praying for a rapid answer ....

dads just got one.......... What plug should i be using? What fuel ratio? What gearbox oil and how much? any other info and things to look out for would be helpful Many Thanks James

Just installed the Honda RTL 250 F fenders on my 4RT. They are gorgeous. Candy apple red with flames. They make the Montesa fenders look bland and boring. Adrian & Mandy at Lewisport got them for me. Next are the decals. I want to make it a full Honda RTL.

Hello Just after some advice, I have just ridden my 315 for the first time since the SSDT. All I have done since Scotland is change the oil, air filter and repack the silencer. It may be just down to the gearing (still on Scotland gearing) but it seems to have lost a bit of mid range/bottom end power. Any suggestions on how I can freshen the bike up again? Thanks

My rear shock seems to have...well, not exactly packed up, but more 'made unchangable'. The purple looking screw to alter the compression has jammed up, it still has some play in it, but it will not budge either way...any ideas? The shock itself still works, but I want it hardening up, or, if possible, update the entire shock itself. I have yet to dismantle the shock as I dont have a clamp at hand, but if thats what it needs I will get hold of one. And also, if anyone has any information about obtaining shocks and their price ranges, please let me know. Thanks, Matt.

Recently bought a 2003 Cota 315R and actually believed the dealer when he said that he would send on the handbook Does anyone have a spare handbook that they want to part with for a few quid please ??????

Hi everyone, i am new to trials riding, and loving every minute of it, but have a question about my Montesa 315R 250cc 2003. When i decelerate i can hear a noise which sounds like lower end knocking, i am told it is because the mixture is too rich.... any ideas please???

Have just tried first machine to arrive in W.A and find it hard to ride with slow running set at 1700rpm, am used to TLR that runs reliably at 800rpm. Initial factory setting was 3200!!! What are U.K riders setting machine at?

it might sound a silly question but then again ? in the 20 yrs since the last 4 stroke hondas were ridden by steve saunders etc, the ones with the disc brakes & monoshock suspension which seemed brilliant at the time how do they actually compare to the new model, honda would surely have used those bikes as a yardstick when developing the 4rt and I would think that ignition & fuel systems have improved since the earlier models were made

How do you tell the age of a montesa 315r apart from the plastics? I though i heard something about a few numbers in the serial number?? Just looking at one on ebay and want to know if theres a way of telling if i go and look at it. James

Hi there , Cool forum Couple of questions : 1. After how many hours (60 ???) of engine work Do i need to replace the oil , and which oil is best? 2. Is there any website for this bike with good information , or anywhere i can download bike manual ? Thanks buds. Ride carefully!!!

doesn't it look much neater with that flat tank. Mind you I don't suppose it holds much juice. I bet Ben's filling it up after every section. I wonder what other mods it has? Fork legs don't appear to be in carbon fibre/

Can anyone help me with information regarding Fork leg oil capacity on my 1997 Montesa 315R

Got my 4rt last week(Illinois) and had a chance to ride it saturday. the ground was frozen and temps around 28F sold a 04 Raga replica to get the 4rt 4rt feels heavier for sure- because it is! starts beautifully and runs the same I am an advanced level rider in our area with limited hopping ability(Very limited!!) things seem to happen slowly on this bike right away I felt in control ( I never gelled with my Raga so I sold it-Pretty sure it was just to radical for my ability) all the normal obstacles I tried I was able to due with ease even though I felt I was going to slow off cambers were much easier as traction for me was far better then my Raga and wher…

I know this has been touched on in another post but it didn't really say what the problem was or what it is that the 315 master cylinder improves. I've just bought a 4RT and the only 'problem' with the clutch is that the action is very sudden. It comes in with a bit of a bang - on/off. Not very soft or progressive. Could be because it's new and may wear in, don't know. The lever action, biting point and weight of lever action are all fine. Anyone else think the clutch bite is a bit sudden/sharp and is this what the 315 cylinder mod eases? Anyone any opinions/experience? Or maybe it's because I've got to learn how to use a clutch again...

Although I dont own one (yet) I have always liked the Mont 315r and especially those funky green/purple forks. Anyway I noticed the new 4RT doesnt have them but has black forks instead yet (correct me if I am wrong) dont DL and Fuji still use the greeny purple ones?? Trivial I know but does anyone know why the production bikes stopped using them?

The title about sums it up, was having a quick check of the airfilter earlier and on the airbox top (snorkel?) there are 2 vents. One of these had a chunk of regular foam in blocking off one side. Is this a mod/normal or has the foam come from somewhere else in that region?? I am puzzled as on the other off-road bikes I have had I have always strived to get lots of air in quickly and this reduces the intake by 50% I looked in the manual, but there doesn't seem to be anything like it there. Any light to shed you guys?? Ged

i was climbing a steep climb in third and was forced off line by a rider looking at the section. he said sorry and said he DID NOT HEAR ME COMING as proof ask dabster! it was him i nearly ran over

Sorry if it has been asked before, but does anyone have the owners manual for an 04 (r4) Mont Cota 315r that I can download, or a link? If not I would like to change plug and oil before manual arrives from wherever dealer is getting it from. Though he is not a Montesa dealer and doesn't know specifics about the bike. So ............. plug gap???? and oil capacity/brand/quality? Hope you guys can help. Ged
