Vinnied is correct......I've had more interest and pre-sold orders on the new Cota 4rt than any year before. While all you daft buggers keep talking, customers keep ordering the bike...So keep talking and i'll keep taking orders...........Thanks D.........

I've never saw a World Class rider with "shorty" levers on his /her bike. I feel the long lever have a bit more leverage allowing me for better clutch control...But I suck so pick the one you like best and go ride......D

I like the camo duct tape idea........does it come in the new Realtree patterns ? D

Ian, have your mate go up a couple of sizes on the starting circuit jet....Its an enrichening circuit and the bike is looking for more fuel on start up...This is very common on these bikes and a simple problem to solve.........D

Hey Aaron, Got mine from Bob Ginder @ bj Racing......He stocks the 1st, 2nd and 3rd os along with the bearing etc..........Great source of knowledge too on vintage bikes.........D www.bjracing.com or you can go directly to Wiseco and order the one you need.........

Got to wake up pretty early in the morning to fool with you Ishy......... COTA 4RT, Racing Trials............Good looking bike, can't wait to get my hands on one.........D

Sure it has a name......I know what it is too........You have a good guess for me Ishy ???D

Check out my above posting.........There is a link with a bit more information on the event. For the top 3 positions in each class your going to have to wait for the Motorama folks to release the official results........D

Final Results from Motorama 2004...... 1. Chris Florin 2. Ray Peters 3. David Chaves Great event .........A full report is here..................D

OK , Here's my 2 cents.. Raga as the 2004 Indoor Champ , Fuji as the 2004 Outdoor Champ , With Lampkin coming back in 2005 on the All new HRC/Montesa 4S to take the championship back..........D

The 1999 Montesa Cota is a great bike, however the changes between a 1999 to a 2002/03 are extensive.. The biggest in my opinion would be the addition of the Showa suspension front and rear, followed by many refinements in frame geometry along with a few very impressive motor changes.. (porting etc).. To stay close to current i would suggest the 02/03 , or if the price is right on the 99 and its in good condition , the 99 makes a very capable trials machine....Good luck , have fun.......VIVA MONTESA...........Hope this helps........D Keystone Cycle

Steve Fracy had some very cool pictures of his adventures to the SSDT from Canada.......Maybe he can post them again.......Steve??? D

I think Mick will be riding a 250cc four stroke yamaha in the SSDT...

OK, I'm a liar !!! Tape the holes in the seat and try it, Then you tell me and Mr. jrsunt if it works ,,,,,,,,D We ran a dozen bikes this way for months on end with NO problems or lack of performance of any type.........

500 cc.................D

I tape mine from the inside of the fender, it stayed on all season with no effect on performance... Keeps the airbox area very clean when the mud is bad........D keystone cycles

Sirdabber, I stock 2 litre bottles of ELF oil.......2 stroke synthetic.....D My Webpage

2.5 or 5w Showa oil.........Your local Honda shop will carry it.........Fill to top... D................

Nice going Martin !!! A bunch of guys throwing stuff around at each other. How about a trip to MARS on me , or are you aready there ??? Do you remeber the show "My favorite Martian" or is it "My favorite Martin"............D

That's not so Ishy, I have one Racing version in stock and ready for delivery...Its an awesome little machine, Plenty of power in standard trim , with a 160cc update kit if you think you need more . D My Webpage

I am an Engineer ........ I will just sit and wait for the 2005 4S Montesa.... D

Very Cool guys !!! Great work by all................D

Sainz--Will retire from WRC at the end of the 2004 champoinship series , or so he claims after crapping the bed in the last event of 2003....and.................. Sanz--Signs with HRC/ Montesa !!! Wow that is BIG news for her and the boys in the junior WTC ....... Glad to see she's off that HEAVY Beta and riding for the best trials team in the business now..........VIVA MONTESA,,,,,,,,,D

Not sure what is standard eqiupment in your part of the world , where ever that may be , you failed to mention that little detail.. However on every new GasGAS that leaves our shop (USA) the following is supplied with each New bike. 1. DVD maintenance disk (professional quality ) 2. GG Bum bag with a few common hand tools 3. GG ball cap 4. A few posters, Raga, Tommi, Aaron, Bell 5. MSO certificate 6. GG handbook The Headlight is always given to the customer, however we can and do set the bikes up for competitin if that is what the customer desires and in this case the headlight w/wiring harness and the stock hanldebar mounted control swicthes are removed and replaced with a kill switch and number plate.... and lastly a friendly and sincere good luck and have fun with your new bike.........D www.keystonecycle.com

This probably not the best method but I use the stock air filter lid, and with that in hand I buy some filter element foam panels and construct my own using the lid as a guide. You can cut and glue the foam pcs. together and them I have my wife sew it on to the lid.... Looks like the orginal and holds up a bit longer... I do not know of anywhere to buy an RTL filter.....I have also used a 315 filter, a 314 filter a beta techno filter, all cut to size and then mounted to the original lid........Probably didn't help you much but custom made filter are not difficult to construct......Ishy may have a better solution.........D
