Montesa

i have a 97 315 and im using castrol 747 at 70:1 is this any good in this engine or should i be using something else or what do you use neil

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

just bought a montesa 315r 1999 model not sure what oil to use and what mixture any ideas lads

I have purchased a 1980s Cota 200 There is only one drain plug ( on the gearbox side ) So do I take it the oil is common to the gearbox AND clutch/primary side ? I have seen various oils mentioned 10/20 10/40 etc but I have a supply of 5/30 would this be suitable The bike will have VERY light use as I will not be competing very much !

Last summer I was given two old montesa's, late 70's early 80's, not really sure what exact year, and was wondering if someone knows what oil's and capacities go in the gearbox and also in the forks? Brian Martinson

Want to go down the 'do what the manual says' road to try to eliminate horrible grabby clutch. Does anyone know where I can get the ELF oil from mail order? cheers john

hi im about to order my main bearings for my 315 what other parts do you suggest i buy thanks neil

I'm finding the clutch a little unforgiving for a learner such as myself and was wondering if a master cylinder with a smaller piston would expand the current on/off clutch action into something a little more friendly. It's an AJP MC.

Please can you help? what size bearings

Just picked up this wreck! I bid, didn't expect to win but here it is! Question is what is it? There's a Yamaha engine stuffed in at the moment. any idea of the size? Any way here's some photos.

Dads wondering what plug type to use in his 06 4rt? the plug is always very black as if the bikes rich or do you think a different plug is needed. I think the standard was a 6 but he has been using a 5 recently but its not made much difference. May just be this is how they all run though? Thanks for any help/info Just

im wanting to check ma tappet mesurements to see if they are all set up rite can some one tell me what tapets are what? are the ones at the front of the bike the exhaust and the 2 at the rear the inlets?

Going to look at a '00 315R soon and was wondering if there are any things that I should look out for that might show signs that the bike is in need of a large amount of dollars spending or has been poorly maintained. Thanks in advance. Barney

What do you guys expect from Montesa regarding the 2022 301rr ?.

Hey all I am going to look at a used 2006 Repsol 4rt tomorrow. I was wondering if anyone knew what to look out for when buying the bike apart from the normal bits and pieces. What price should I be looking to pay for a 4rt in good condition? Also is there any components I should replace with after market ones? Thanks in advance Scott

Hi Guys I think I have set my heart on the Montesa 315. I am only coming back to Trials after a 30 year lay off. The bikes have changed so much. I had a go on a mates 315 and loved it, he has lowered the gearing which he suggested that I should do if I got one and also added the slow throttle.. I think his gearing is 10 -42. What should I look out for when looking at second hand used 315R, I'm thinking about one from say 2001 - 2003. I have seen a 2001 on the net , nice looking condition from a dealer at

serial no.s 19m 1741 & 19m 1986 thanking you

Hi,Can anyone tell me what year my 349 is?Frame and engine numbers are 51m 22574.It has a red frame and forks, and the one piece fibreglass tank/seat.Should it be black frame and alloy tank with the cover?I thought maybe it could be a 1980.Swinging arm is straight and not kicked up at the end. Thanks Tim

Just picked up these two Cora 123s and trying to figure out what year model each are. One has a white frame and the other has more of a battle ship or dove gray frame. Other than that I don't see a lot that differenciates the two. I'm thinking the white framed one is a 1972 model.

Just finished fitting my dual map programmable throttle body (turned out to be a nightmare to get to, air box off, exhaust off, injector out), and sorted out a few other issues with the bike! And hallelujah it started! (not quite sure why I'm so surprised, it is a Honda after all) but yeah it was a big achievement for me (first bike I've had to look after myself and only done oil and filter changes so far-young lad) Problem is, I don't know what to do next, I miss having something to work on! Any little mods like the removal of the tip sensor the I can do? Also on little bit of a campaign to get the weight down a bit (not because I think it'll make me a better ride…
