    315 Advice

    Well i've been thinking about changing to Montesa lately, and specificaly a 315. Just a few questions though first if you don't mind? Were there any significant changes made to the 315 in the years it was produced/ And, seen as they are getting on a bit, are there any good mods/improvements or upgrades that you would recomend? Thanks

    Frame Protectors

    Is it possible to get pastic frame protectors for a 2003 bike. The ones that come up quite a way. i'm finding them for 2006 bikes onwards but not for the earlier ones. If they are available, where from?

    Running Rough

    I have a 2003 290, running rough is probably a bit of an exageration but it doesn't run buttery smooth. The revs don't really come down to quickly either and it surges a little. I have read this thread http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/35972-sherco-290-09-revs-falling-slowly/ and given the carb a good clean and a new air filter.The ignition has also been retarded 4mm. Anyone have any suggestions, what could cause this. it's not to much of a problem, but i would rather it wasn't there
  8. Please correct me if i'm wrong but wouldn't it be to much bike for a complete novice?
  9. but were the stickers looking good
  10. When buying a used dirt bike I always assume I am going to have to change the wheel bearings, fork seals, pads and chain and sprokets. it's just something I normaly have to do. must be very annoying though if someone claims these parts are like new

    Fender and Decals

    I have been looking around for a rear fender and decal set for my 2003 290. Is it only genuine parts that are out there, or are ther cheaper pattern parts available. Emphasis on the word cheaper
  12. Have you looked at the Yamaha Tricker. i know of a couple of guys who have done a large wheel conversion on them and are very impressed with the result. Good for trail riding and ldt's Rieju also do a clone called the tango i believe which is a bit cheaper Alternatively what about a Gas Gas Pampera?
  13. i just bought some from Spatshop the were

    290 for newbie

    Couple of rides in and i'm loving the bike. being new to trials though, it has taught me several things 1. I have no bike skills whatsoever 2. I have no balance whatsoever 3. when the throttle jams open and you end up a tree, it's the scariest thing ever to happen to you on a motorcycle and it hurts a lot What I mean to say is i'm loving it so far
  15. Just had a cylinder done at langcorts

    Short spark plug

    The shorter plugs have ecm after the numbers instead of es. Unfortunately i'm not sure if you can get them? well i can't find one anyway. You can get 7 and 8's but not 5's it seems

    Short spark plug

    I think there is a little confusion here. The plug is fine in the thread and there is nothing wrong with it apart from acess being a little tight. I know on some dirt bikes it is possible to get the same plug, but with a shorter porcelain section. It just makes things a little easier thats all. just wondering if these plugs were available for the Sherco? On my KTM these were used and they take a regular cap

    Short spark plug

    Is it possible to get a short spark plug for a 2003 290? The plug currently in there is very difficult to remove, due to it's length
  22. Yes I have one now, but i'm not going to stop nagging you. It's all your fault anyway. tempting me with your strange ways about going slow
