Montesa

A recent poster to TC owns this. Never been trialled of course..........

Can anyone advise what work needs to be carried out to the 4RT fuel pump in order for it to fit into a Mitani flat fuel tank. Thanks

The manual doesn't show a bash plate for the 247, so wondering if anyone ever made one for the Cota 247 and if so, any pictures?

Hello all, I have found my dads Montesa Cota 349 1980 in his garage. The bike itself appears in (relatively) good condition. I don’t think it has been ridden (or started) for 20+ years. I would like to get this bike running again & start riding it at local events. I have pretty much zero technical knowledge, I am willing to learn & give it a go and watch YouTube videos to learn etc.. The reason I haven’t tried to start the bike is I am worried about the petrol and oil in the tank? What would I need to change or replace on a bike that old/hasn’t been ridden for 20+ years - things that would need to be changed regardless is what I am on a…

I just stripped my carb down off my 2001 315. I got this bike used not to long ago. When I got it, it was missing the small airfilter that leads to the port across from the airscrew? I rigged a filter for that, but now that I have it all stripped down it seems that port does not go anywhere? Just bottoms out. I soaked the carby and blew threw everything? Now Im wondering if I have something screwy??? Not the original carb?? Also, there was no emulsion tube under the pilot jet??? There should be right??? All diagrams I have found show one! Bike starts, idles etc ok even with all this weirdness? Though the airscrew had very little affect thus me tearing it down. So I …

Now all is clear and we know that the "Duke" rode Montesa: Cheers:Mike

I know the Repsol 4rt bike comes with the carbon parts and Fat Bars etc, but does it include the laptop software etc for different engine settings, i believe the earlier year repsols did but want to know whether the 08 Repsol does and if not how much does this cost and is it worth buying, cheers iggy.

Hi, I've just bought a new 4rt thats having a 280cc kit fitted along with a ptb (single or twin im not sure) and im trying to find out the general must haves / do's and reviews from any other 280 owners. Im used to power as ive come from a 300 Gas Gas with reeds and no flywheel weight but im also a big lad so i need it I dont pick it up till mid january when the 280 is fitted but i'd like to buy a few shineys for it so ive something to fiddle about with Cheers Nick

This is something that I have been trying to find for some time. None of this is definitive, and I would be delighted if anyone can confirm, correct, or add to this thread, so that we can hopefully arrive at a complete list of correct colours and corresponding paint codes for each model. It may well be that over time, so many bikes have been re-painted in various shades that it is difficult now, to find examples with original paint, and to know what is technically correct. In general, there appear to be at least three different reds that were used during Cota 247 production. (I know the last bike here is a 348, but the same colour is used on late 247s) Early The M…

Having no experience on any of the above models, those who do own and ride them, can you give me your findings .....Both good and no so. Looking to buy either, so interested in 'real world' views. Cheers Andy

Hello everybody, I'm new here. I've bought a 1977 montesa cota 247 (at least i think it is one) and have some problems with it. Does anybody know where i can find a workshop manual for it? Thanks!

I wasn't going to publish these as have done enough posting pics in the past and also i'm still waiting for the flat tank, but i have just thought what the hell.

hi.all. i am new to this forum and am hoping some of you may be able to help me. i have a montesa cota 247 which i have owned for the last twenty years or so, and the last 15 years it has been in bits and boxes in the garage. having recently moved it nearly went to the scrapman but i decided to keep it in the end. i have started to put it back to gether again to se if i can get it running. so far so good but i now need to put some oil in the engine and gear box but i dont no what type and amount to put in. so far i have discoverd it is a 1972 model. any help would be of great help as this is a classic bike and it deservs better than sitting in a pile of …

How can you tell the year of a montesa from 1998 to 2004

Being in the USA we can not get the ELF HTX 740 tranny fluid. What other brands are compatible? Same deal with the motor oil, can't get the Repsol 4T in the 10w-30 weight....any thoughts on what you chaps use that is compatible? Many thanks, loving the new ride. Tom

Hey guys New to the forum Was wondering if anyone had a digital copy of the service manual. I have a 2002 montesa 315r Cheers

That got your attention :0) what colours do you think we'll get next year? I think it'll be white rear mudguard, white tank and white front mudguard (Honda colours) or white rear, red front and red tank (Montesa) black wheels, silver frame again. Repsol will be factory rep with the wings on silencer and airbox, What do you think? Could also be a Fuji special to celebrate 20 years in the WTC !!!

Does anyone know what has been done to the later model 4rt's to reduce engine braking ? Is it a mechanical method or ptb programmed differently ?

I am about to get into trials and I decided to get a Montesa 4RT. I found a used 2005 and a used 2007, both in great condition. Being that the 2005 has seen less use than the 2007 am I missing out anything if I went for the 2005 model? Regards, Redster
