no confusion here and to answer the post , i love the 4rt so much it hurts

all on the dvla website ,inc the form required

after refit, always check the slide is fully closed, hold your finger on the carb and twist throttle fully open and let go ! you should feel a metallic clunk on you finger, telling you the slide is closing. no racing engine speed! on startup

as above ,different tailpipe , 2003> much improved and if you use it ,so much nicer to ride . the porting makes a big difference.

programmable fuel injection and no battery springs to mind

only 250 4t

just replace what you have with the correct montesa parts and your problem is solved.

4.8 and 4.8 x12 rivits

im not sure he is a hater, as he is on his second repsol

315"s dont have reserve! as above 2hrs ish of play or about 20 miles

seeing dabsters a*** at 6am is not something therepy can cure!

i had no choice, but mum was the word

well said andy

we must be looking at different bikes! same price ,not a chance

as above ,big improvement . fit an 08> m/cyl too

ride both bikes ,forget the kit ! they both work ok . then the choice will be very clear.

In response, As a Montesa dealer I have spoken to Sandiford's and can clarify the following :- Sandiford's have been associated with Montesa for 42 years, however this year they didn't reach their targeted sales due to a. The bike being the most expensive on the market as a result of it's prime cost and the Euro and b. the effects of the recession. Montesa suggested a split importership with Honda UK. This is something Sandiford's did not want to happen for the following reasons :- a. Montesa Honda and Honda Europe have no marketing budget for the next 2 years. So no help promoting the bikes/no UK rider support/no SSDT support etc. b. Sandiford's a UK Importer (whole or part) would still have to commit to SSDT at their entire sole cost. c. The targeted units for 2010 are unrealistic with no discount and a bike that is the same as 2009. Sandiford's still have big stocks of Montesa Historic spare parts and are marketing and promoting the same through their new website. Their commitment to Montesa over the years has been undoubted and never faltered. As a Dealer of theirs I will not deal with anyone other than Sandiford's and they have the market and industry knowledge which cannot be learnt overnight. Sandiford's are realistic, times change and things move on. If their association with Montesa has finally come to an end they will diversify and have already been approached about being a high level dealer for another UK Trials Importer. They can for the first time in many many years ENJOY the SSDT !! They have the knowledge, they have the expertise and they are business people. Their commitment over the years has been ignored due to market and recession conditions.

what are you after in particular

still available

yes john, a cracking bike. carefully run in and set up by its first owner .

QUOTE :it is your dealers responsibility to order you a manual and the other owner papers, not Sandifords, 100% correct.

get them to order you a new one . not a problem ? i take it the bike was new

that is because it is turning inside , probably wont leak but not ideal
