Hi I have a 2004 Cota 315 I need some clutch work done: Do you have recommends for a knowledgeable mechanic in SoCal? Thank you

Hi there team, i am currently looking for some spare rear spokes for my '97 315R. The short ones are L/R the same. The longer ones different though. Short ones: compatible with 4rt? Long ones L: compatible with 4rt? Long ones R: compatible with 4rt? Tried the search but couldn't get a clear answer on that one. Part numbers are not matching. Maybe somebody knows it straight away. Thanks

Hi there I have a mint 2003 315R and want to keep it that way I have been told about some covering that would stick to the ali frame and protect it were my boots rub etc Tried it with some cheap carbon fibre sheet but it wouldnt stick to the frame Any ideas thanks

Could anyone tell me what the BTDC setting for a 248 is, either degress or mm. Have found settings for just about everything else! Thanks

Hi I could do with some advice please on how to remove the steering stem from the bottom yoke.348 mont. Thanks Martyn

Hi there team, i have ordered a rep kit and a float valve for the carb of my Cota 315 (1997). I have been given a 200er float valve. But once opened the carb I've found a 270er in it. The parts catalogue doesn't give an indication about the size. Anybody some knowledge if it is a 200er or a 270er? Given the bikes age I wouldn't be surprised if this has been changed over time Thanks in advance and regards from New Zeland, Pascal

can anybody tell me of if any montesa garage close to nottingham that will service a 311

2015 4rt front brake master cylinder leaking (braketech) never had the cap off or caught the brake lever hard enough for it to pop any seals. Break still works and isn't spongey. Its leaking from the tiny hole on the cap (when the brake is applied) Has anyone had any problems with break tech cylinders?

Hey Guys I lost one of my silver fork guards on my Repsol 4rt at a recent trial. I have search on the net and made a few phone calls but no seems to stock them any more apart from the black trick bits ones. it does not need to be real carbon fibre but have that silver carbon look. I know SXS used to do them but not anymore! Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

Hello fellow owners, I just picked up a 2001 315R and have been making some repairs. Can anyone help with a part # or size of viton o-ring to use on the connection from the head pipe to the aluminum midpipe? Also the smaller diameter to the muffler. Thank You,

Hello Cota 349 aficionados, Anybody know the correct order of alignment of the cutches steel plates? There is a slot cut into only one tab on the inside. Not sure what the tab’s slot is for. thanks.

Hi I am rebuilding the above engine for a colleague. Is the gearbox timed in the same way a Sherpa is? For example the Sherpa selector drum is positioned with the cluster in neutral and this is obvious, as the straight side of the diameter with the selection indents is to the rear and set vertical. I am sure I can work it out but it is 31 years since I have had a Cota engina apart and that was a 250 and i always appreciate any tips. Thank you Martin

Hi all. I had a strange thing happen to my 4 ride (67reg) yesterday. I was just checking it over pre mot & It started 2nd kick like normal so I tested the horn & it cut out & won’t start now ! That’s never happened in the 3 yrs I’ve had it . Thinking it could be the kill switch so I disconnected it but still the same. I checked it for continuity which also seems fine. I can’t work out why the use of the horn has killed it unless there’s a short somewhere perhaps. I have ordered a new plug but don’t think it’s that. Any of you guys & girls out there got any ideas cos I’m baffled, with thanks ,Andy

Hi I'm restoring a 1980 Cota 247C that came to me with the crankshaft broken at the counterweight keyway on the left hand side. Common enough problem. I managed to get a replacement LH half from Cyclesavant in the states. Before I get the assembly rebuilt with a new conrod kit I'd like to replace the ignition side half also, as the keyway and taper both have damage. So I'm looking for a decent ignition side half for a late model with the 20mm pin size. Part number is 2160.00803. Anybody got anything or know of a source either for a crank half or a crank assembly with a good usable ignition side? Any help much appreciated. Hoodie.

Guys, my 242 has the later 304 forks on, just changed the seals etc, drained out 450ml of fork oil = 225ml per leg.....is this too much? Always thought these bikes took around the 200ml mark per leg & just wondered whether you think 225ml per leg is too much oil? Appreciate any views/thoughts.

Hi All, Would anybody know how much oil and what viscosity I need to put into the forks on a 304 Montesa. Hope someone can help. Thanks. Phil.

anyone come across this as most seem to have 2 blues will i need a differnt cdi to get around this ?

Was wondering where find 3/16 bearings found size from another post . And looked up motorcycle bearings on ebay found source in Florida USA really cheep croam to , was fast delivery , just installed with new triple tree used on ebay , got a way to go frame up , thanks for info you all ,

Does the MH 200 (orange) have round fork bottoms or the more square shape. The one I have has round bottoms with no pinch bolt ,but they feel really nice and smooth with no marks on stations.

I bought this Cota from the Original Owner and have been working on getting it sorted out. Its a very early model : Vin 21M00348, possibly a 1968?... It has the IRZ carb, big hubs, no chain tensioner or mount for one. Everything besides the tires is probably original. The bike runs but i have replaced the crank seals, base gasket and replaced the petcock. Working on getting tires/ tubes/ rim locks changed, seat recovered (foam is deteriorating). I don't think it will get a cosmetic upgrade, just mechanical. I like the patina. Thanks
