Montesa

I need to flick the fan on my 315 to get it running after which it runs OK. Is there anything I can do about this or is it knacked?

I have recently finished restoring a 1978 cota 247, including engine rebuild etc etc. It is now road registered so have taken it out to my local woods for a few test rides, the journey there of about 1 mile on the road is fine, but when I have put it through its paces in the woods and hit the steep upward sections the engine goes into iddling mode which I think is called bogging. When switched off and left for a while it does restart and run ok. I have no idea whAts causing this and its putting me off doing some real trials - any help will be very much appreciated. David

Re-assembled the clutch with new plates and fitted the cover, but the arm seems to be too far 'in' and will foul the gearbox filler plug. It seems that the arm should be further out? I marked the position of the foot on the bottom of the shaft and replaced it in the same position and clipped the circlip in place. Can anybody take a photograph of the arm on their machine and post up on here please.

Can anyone advise?

Guys took my 04 315R out at the weekend, and noticed a bit of a rattle coming from the clutch case area... Only noticed it as I was doing some slow work on the bike... Is this a common thing, or could it be something more serious, that I should be looking at instead of surfing this forum!? Cheers - Boner.

Can someone clearly describe what side of the tabs the rear muffler on the 300rr hangs on? It seems like either side of both tabs can actually still allow me to fit the muffler. I'd like to get it where it should be. Thanks, Jon

hey all , im pretty sure the front wheel bearings the same as the rear, i jus replaced the two rear bearings the weekend and figured for the sake of 6 bucks each i might as well throw two in the front to maker tight as a drum front n rear..i jus cant seem to find any front lots or rear so i figured i would ask to double check to see if any of you guys know for sure if the front the same as the rear thanks for any info guys , cheers ! anthony

What’s the verdict with modern synthetic oil? Is 50:1 OK?

I am hoping to have fix my 349 fork leg welded up but on dis-assembly to do a refresh I find there is a small part that fits into the bottom of the spring. In profile it is sort of top hat shaped. One of these is intact and the other is broken. Does anyone have the slightest idea what I'm on about and if so where I can fine replacements? Cheers.

Have a 315r 2002 Had a water pump shaft seal go so took off clutch and clutch housing( not basket) to get to seal. Have put back on and bike is in gear but I cannot now select any gears. Any ideas as to what I have done? Have taken clutch out but cannot undo basket bolt as think you need a special tool. Should I take off other side around gear selecter ? Help please fraser

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

Been poking around the Cota 247C (1978) and it would appear that this bike may originally of come with a red frame.... although the top coat is currently black. Now I do know that some manufacturers used some odd primers. Take SWM, they used blue primer for black frames (and maybe black for Pernod frames being Italian) so maybe Montesa could of used a red primer? Also, I sell cars for a living and sometimes the factory 'undercoats' are really quite strange compared to the top finish coat....bright whites under reds, yellows unders greens and blacks etc. Any ideas from the forum 'Montesti'...I read that in an early 70's test of an old 247 cheers

I need to source a replacement lower fork clamp for a 1983 MH349 as mine has cracked. Anyone out there that can help? Many thanks.

What's the nearest thing to a manual for these? I've got something v basic from the internet but I wondered if there's anything like a manual available.
