Montesa

HI all... a mate of mine has just got his 4RT here in Hong KOng. Its the only one. He reckons it feels a bit flat...so just wondered...are there any restrictors on it??...and better still could anyone tell him where they are/can they be removed. Cheers in advance for any help.

Can anyone tell me how to fix a dented exhaust pipe that is about 2 inches in diameter and pushed in about 50 % of the pipe? thanks

Anybody know where to get the larger gas tank for the Montesa? The US distributors seem to be clueless when or if they will be available. Thanks, Bill.

What's the feeling so far on the fuel range?. Should Nevissport in Fort William start stocking up on Sigg bottles now?.

Hi all! Hey I was just looking at my 2004 Montesa and noiticed much to my horror, the @#$% engine is leaking oil! The leak is from the engine sump, which has been damaged by repeated whacks of the skid plate against rocks. I have two large A shaped rocks in my group of practice sections, and apparently there is a large impact to the skidplate involved to make them. Consequently my rubber damper gets squashed badly and then the clutch cover gets distorted and opens up a leak. I have this notion that some of you clever people out there may be able to solve this riddle. Why in this modern era where you can by all sorts of carbon fibre bits and dogbone suspension links an…

Can any new 4RT owners tell me if the 04 315 rear wheel fits the new stroker? I appreciate it's the new AJP hub on the 4RT but just want to know whether to sell my spare wheel with my "old" Mont or whether it'll fit in the new 'un. Thanks in advance.

Is the new mont really supposed to idle at 1800 rpm,the only one I have heard sounds very fast on idle.

Evenin Y'all! Im looking for a petrol tap for a 1999 tank (The carbon firbe one) although I assume a 98/00 (maybe more?) will fit. Anyone have one lying about for sale? Thanks! Matt Tolley

Here guys I found this I thought some of you might be intrested in this 4RT parts book

The delay still can't be this 100 hour endurance test. If the bikes are in this country and not being sent out to dealers it surely must mean there is a mechanical problem. instead of a recall the modification will be carried out prior to the bikes being released to the public. At this rate i'll have retired from trials before i get a new mont 4rt

Hello, Can anyone help please with a UK source for the black tank and rear guard of the 1998 type montesa, like Ian J's, that won't cost an arm and a leg?.

My mate has just bought an old twinshock Montesa Cota 200. It has the Honda livery on the tank etc. He intends to tidy it up, at least get it back tp original colours etc. A pic of what a new one looked like would be a great help, (cant find anything on the web), also fuel to oil ratio would be beneficial. Any info on this bike would be most welcome. Cheers..............Gordon

I ran my 2001 mont on a Bosh WR8DP I found it ran very well on them (smooth on bottom end), just bought a 2004 mont and it knocks with it in I know the book says NGK BR6ES , but what do other people use on 2004 monts ? should I stick to NGK BR6ES

Can anybody help with a steel replacement rear brake pedal for a Cota 315. fed up with breaking the cast alloy ones which are very difficult to straighten.

Hi all, Just wondered if anyone can help me with some basic maintenance info for this bike. I'd like to know, how much fork oil is recommended. How much transmission oil. AND, some friends here reckon you MUST use spark plug BR6ES?? That plug is hard to get here, do you reckon a BP6ES would be OK?? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi, I’ve just picked up a 2nd long range tank ready for the SSDT (I hope). Can anyone recommend what paints I should use on it. The last owner painted it but it all blistered and came off when filled with fuel? Thanks

Hi Just wondering what oil people use in there 315 and how much. Cheers Glenn

Hi all... Where can I get one of those "flat" front lights for my Montesa....you know the carbon looking one like the famous guys have. Guess it will cost too much..but would be nice to know. ANy ideas??...thanks in advance

Dear all....a post on behalf of my mate that is looking to buy a Mont. He's not sure if its a 99 or 2000 model. I've been trying to "swot up" on the differences before I go to look at it with him. But they seem pretty similar..(plastics from what he says are not the proper ones anyway). Only OBVIOUS thing I can see is the 2000 had a stainless front exhaust. If anyone has any other obvious pointers...please let us know. Thanks in advance

Got to try this 4rt in spain, is it yours Marky?
