The COTA 300RR is fitted with a completely new engine, based on those used by Montesa Honda riders Eddie Karlsson and Oriol Noguera in Trials World Championship.
The increase in displacement to 289cc has been achieved by increasing the diameter of the piston (from 78mm to 80mm) and of the stroke (increased by 3 mm). There is a new crankshaft-rod, cylinder, piston assembly and crankcases.
The fuel pump is new, for the PGM-FI Electronic Fuel Injection system which allows more fuel flow and the ECU* has also been improved by including a new ignition mapping to optimize the performance of the new power plant.
* This only available on Full Power versions. All UK bikes are Full power versions.
One of the benefits of the PGM-FI electronic fuel injection system is that it auto adjusts to various meteorological conditions which when combined with the double ignition map gives the rider a fantastic advantage over standard models.

The double ignition map is activated though a switch on the handlebar:-
Mode 1: for low grip conditions
Mode 2: for the maximum power.
And the ECU- throttle body isn’t sealed allowing riders to modify their ignition and injection maps through a PC. These changes give a stronger power curve in all ranges, but especially in the mid range, and maintain excellent rideability in the low range.
The engine braking has been significantly reduced by incorporating a crankcase gas decompression system as well as a thorough work on the electronics so that when closing the throttle the engine braking is minimized making the bike feel lighter and easy to control.
The clutch system has been modified to fit the increase in power, including the clutch pump which has been improved to be more responsive during racing.
The increase in displacement and the consequent increase in compression have also meant the inclusion of a new longer kick starter to ease the starting of the engine.
All these improvements in the performance of the engine mean that the Cota 300RR can deal with areas that would be harder for the Cota 4RT260 and the Race Replica.
Chassis
One of the main objectives whilst developing the COTA 300RR was to reduce the weight of the bike and make the overall feel lighter, more responsive and agile. The foot pegs have been moved 5mm lower and 5mm rearward which positions the rider’s weight towards the rear, making the front end feel lighter.
The COTA 300RR uses Michelin X11 tires which offer an excellent combination of traction, lightness and response. The wheels are fitted with lightweight hubs made of 7075 T6 aluminium, anodized in black and with the RR logo engraved with laser. The overall weight reduction is also achieved by the use of new DID aluminium tyre rims, lighter than the ones used in other models.
The COTA 300 RR, like the COTA 4RT260 and the Race Replica all use a light and robust aluminium frame and swingarm with a proven reliability and performance.
Suspension
To reduce the weight and improve performance the COTA 300RR features a TECH fork with light-weight aluminium tubes. The rear suspension is by Showa and uses new hydraulics and settings which make the bike feel lighter and more stable as well as providing better traction.
Brakes
The COTA 300RR features a new front brake with a 4 piston monobloc caliper to improve efficiency and power. The new Braktec brake and clutch pumps with red anodized covers increase both the response and performance of the bike.
High Quality Equipment
The quality of the equipment has been enhanced in all areas of the bike; there’s a new advanced battery-less ignition system, a bank angle sensor which switches off the ignition when the motorcycle is laying on the ground or when it is at an inclination superior to 65º for more than 7 seconds and the “man overboard” system using magnetic switch that stops the engine if the bike falls. The bike is fitted with an aluminium Renthal Fat Bar handlebar as standard.
Racing Kit parts
For the COTA 300RR there is also a highly exclusive set of carbon HRC parts comprising:-
Clutch cover protector
Exhaust pipe protector
Headlight cover

You will have no problems at poles wood we've been going there for over 30 years.
Always make sure you pay at the gate and carry the membership cards otherwise the owners will catch you there are very strict on this.
Insurance- up to you to insure bikes which will need to be road registered when you buy one.
There are no requirements for insurance by the owners so your risk but everyone using poles wood are sensible and only trials bikes allowed.
The wood in places is very steep but areas for all ages and levels.
Bikes all down to budget £1000 buys a 10 years old bike £2000 buys 2011 £3000 buys 2012 except montesa 4rt will are more.
Loads of bikes on eBay but be careful also try Paul Nash Motorcyles there run the trials events at poles wood and always have good bikes for sale and well trusted.
Mine starts 2/3 kick every time hold or cold however don't care as it's brilliant trials bike would'nt change to another manufacture technically miles ahead of the rest.
The 2011 non runner must be a setup issue after replacing the cylinder head-it just needs to be sent back to a dealer who knows what they are doing and has the computer software to upgrade the management system.
Like all modern bikes or cars any technical issues it has to go back to a dealer for factory reset and latest management upgrade simply it can't be done at home.
we had full infrared cctv cameras surrounding the whole house and garage a black aerosol sorted that out ! although 1 camera did collect some coverage but in the middle of the night couldn't make out any detailed coverage to identify.
Firstly we are normal honest people the thieves are not so don't fall into the trap information as follows.
Some or all of this has been wrote but now in one place please add as you see fit.
1.Advertising for sale on eBay or similar sites leaves you wide open to address identification.
2.Washing off in full view on the driveway again easy identification.
3.Sign writing on vans stating related bike products again easy identification.
4.If you sell privately never take photos of the bikes outside your home they only need the general area or postcode during sales conversation they then know where you live with the help of google street maps and google earth.
5.Don't forget they are professional thieves they know every trick and are desperate for cash on cheap resale.
6.Likely the thefts are to order and by the time you have realised a theft they are on a boat or stripped ready to sell for parts.
7.The Police will do nothing except give the impression that they are doing all they can the reality is they know there is little chance and frankly can't be bothered.
8.Considering selling or part exchanging through dealers but note when you register the bike it's registered to your address.
9.Transporting with open trailers so being followed home makes easy identification that you own bikes and so the location of storage.
10.Don't store in the garage got to go in the house the wife will be less upset than a financial loss okay remove the petrol and make sure it's clean which it should be anyway !
11.Meet a potential viewer at the local garage with a few of your mates just in case -so easy to show a buyer at storage address he doesn't buy then tells his mate they nick it a few days later.
Our bikes were stolen two years ago now replaced with road registration and so insured which was £130 a bike per year-all bikes are fitted with a tracker which was £165 and £13 per month and chained together and to the kitchen floor and alarmed all doors and windows not to mention the dogs.
Lastly even at the trials or practice ground chain it to the van or trailer it's just so easy to walk off with a trials bike while the kettle is on!
Please add any other tips to this thread to help the unwary.

Just forced the garage door locks and lifted the bike over a car the steering was locked with a chain to the frame and rear wheel to the swinging arm they just lifted it out and funnily enough early on a Wednesday morning.
They didn't take my sons beta 80 which wasn't even chained up.
It's all pre planned by professional bike thieves.
Had my 2009 4rt repsol stolen march 2012 -heard that they were being stolen to order and thieves are operating from a farm in Lincolnshire and advertised through Facebook,Gumtree and eBay.
Worth advertising on these sites and watch out for montesa parts being advertised especially on eBay.
