  1. I'm also going to enter this topic with an entirely different perspective.

    2 HR's or 100 miles is not a great distance, most people on here do more miles than that to compete in various trials, so I would suggest contacting the dealer, returning it to them and giving them  time to fix it. When they have tested it and even get them to video the test and email to you, then collect it and use it.

    if they refuse to fix it, get your money back as they know it's not worth the fix up.

     

    this way, you either get a fixed bike or you money back, and you'll only be time and petrol money out of pocket.

  2. Try carlsalter.com.

    the Montesa 330 manual is the closest and the engines are virtually identical. At least it will give you workshops diagrams to work from, even if the part numbers are incorrect.

     

     

  3. The clutch as you say in Q1 is exactly that, they free off with use each and every time.

    Q4 taking a clutch apart is fairly straight forward, give it a go,  just place all the bits down on cardboard  in the order they came out.

    sump plug is immediately above the hole drilled in the bash plate,towards the rear of the gearbox, for the purpose, you shouldn't, with the plate on reveal any other plugs..

    Filler is on the left side behind barrel if I remember correctly.

  4. Sounds like a master cylinder seal, as the pressure builds the fluid is pushing past an iffy seal internally and going from one side of the piston to the other. Do you need a new master cylinder or just a seal kit?

  5. I had a similar issue on an Aptilia TXR where the rear calliper had been rebuilt and the previous owner had put the Pistons in the wrong way round. Are yours in the right way, if not the large flat surface cannot get the fluid pressure acting on it to move rhe piston out to apply pressure to the pads.

    Give it a check, at the very least!

  6. Yes of course, the frame and engine numbers normally correspond but the number is there so you can get parts for it which are correct, as well as the obvious security reasons.

    Contact John Shirt Motorcycles, he should be able to help you with ease.

    PS why have you got an orange sherco? ??

    I'm definitely not a KTM fanboy, I had a 200 EXC GS years ago for trail riding, traded it for a CRM, much better.

    As for Orange Sherco, not me sir, I have a Blue Yamaha, made in France! ?
