  2. Thanks Spen, it is indeed what you say, data tag chip, glad I didn’t throw it away! hi lineaway, I’ll see if I can straighten the wiring when I put the chip back in had this starting issue earlier in the year so hopefully it is just turning out the adjuster enough to get it started should have left it alone at 2k rpm🤬
  3. Got a 2018 Montesa 260 4RT pulled it out of the garage last week & it kicked over first time let it run for 10 minutes, turned it off then kicked it over It started 1st time again let it run for a bit and ooking at the tacho it was running at over 2000 rpm so I turned the screw in a touch so it was running nicely at about 1850rpm at the same time I tucked the wiring that runs from the ignition behind the clip under the regulator...... turned it off then when I came to restart it wouldn’t start, did the reset, still wouldnt start so I looked at that wiring from the ignition & took off some loose electrical tape & pulled it out from the clip seen there was a crack in the insulation & when I looked inside I found this anyone know what it is? Surely can’t be from the factory? bike still won’t start 😤
  4. Just thought I’d share this as it might help others just done oil & oil filter change on my 4RT & like others struggled to get one of the front bolts to line up on the skid plate when refitting it so I loosened the down tube bolts on the same side a little & also the long bolt that goes through the bottom see photos & it lined up so I just tightened them all a little at a time until all were secure hope this helps
  5. when I had starting problems with my 260 over the winter I changed the plug to a 5 & I’ve left it in so may be something else to consider Cookie Monster
  6. Might be as simple as opening up the fuel injection screw half a turn & trying again then once you get it going set it at 1700 rpm + or - 100 from memory
  7. Done about 8 hours practice over the last 2 Sunday’s & the bikes running great generally riding for about an hour then leaving for about 20 minutes before riding again & bike starts 1st kick with perhaps the last ride of the day when I have to do the reset thing to get it started this similar to what others experience? then drive home for say 30 minutes & it starts 1st time before I clean it thanks
  8. Thanks lineaway ill see how I get on with the current set up & leave it if it continues to be reliable or up the rpm slightly if not all part of getting to know the bike but still feels a little odd after 15 months of ownership without having to change anything
  9. Thanks, wont worry as you both say but next time I change the coolant I’ll try the ice stuff
  10. Bikes starting as it should now on 2nd kick or sometimes 1st Tacho reads ~ 1,450 rpm on start up then steadily creeps up to ~ 1,900 rpm before fan kicks in then drops to a steady 1,850 rpm is that how it works for anyone else? i know 4 strokes run hot & 4rt run at a high rpm but the fan is on almost constantly read before this is quite normal is this something I should be looking at? thanks
  11. Stuck the 2nd tachometer behind the number board
  12. Got bike out today & it kicked over from cold 2nd kick took my time to get the kick starter to feel right if you know what I mean upped the rpm to ~ 1850 & it does fluctuate a bit but guess that’s normal so is the ecu that clever that it resets itself now the idle is within range? Making it start easier? weather a lot warmer today in the UK may have helped im just using the tach as & when I need it as I already have one bolted to the bike which I can’t get to go to 1P:2r anyone have any ideas? Holding the button in to change from hours to rpm works but holding the button in until it gets to 1P:2r doesnt thanks
  13. Thanks lineaway will see what it’s like on Friday & up it to 1,850 rpm minimum as you recommend & go from there still makes me wonder why my issue started in the 1st place thinking on I had a workshop fit apico clutch plates along with headstock bearings & a couple of other jobs & I’m wondering if they may have lowered the idle rpm cookiemonster
