"Australian Motorcycle Accessories" https://www.amawarehouse.com.au/ sell Repsol oils maybe they can get it.

I leave mine on, just loosen the bolts about half way and tap the back of the skid plate down a little, works good. After I take the drain bolt out I let the bike lay over against my leg a pretty good ways so the oil doesn't run all over the skid plate, after it's drained I do like everyone else, lay the bike on it's side and take the cover off.

Toni Bou's facebook page says he stay's.

According to the press release the 2018 is..http://hondanews.com/channels/motorcycle-off-road-competition/releases/2018-honda-montesa-cota-300rr-features-benefits the last line in the engine/drivetrain section.

Yeah Elf, might be the difference.

Don't forget there's also a little screen filter in there too.

The reason I asked, mine seems slow, real smooth, the only thing I have to compare it to though is my sherco.

What don't you like with the stock clutch and what do the dimpled plates do better? thanks

yep, also, manual says unleaded 91 0ctane or higher.

Nice bike, interesting looking rims.

OK Thank you.

Hrmad, what brand of rear brake lever is that, looks shorter than stock.

I just went through all the paperwork that came with mine, everywhere a warranties mentioned it's marked N/A so I assume there is none. I'm pretty sure at some point the dealer said 6 months, I either heard wrong or he was wrong.

Dealer I got mine from I believe said 6 month warranty.

The interview in the link that's posted says 2013. I would think it's hard to notice the twin plugs because one sits directly behind the other, not to difficult to see the twin coils though.

The way I read it they didn't need the twin plugs until they increased motor size to 313cc.

Glad I'm getting mine before Trumpy puts that 20% import tax on.

good to hear bbk. delivery on mine is now end of Nov. and about a 4 hour trip to the dealer for me.

What's the advantage of the flat tank?

Wouldn't mind so much if the bars were a little shorter for me, save me pulling out the sawsall, had to cut a couple inches off the fat bar on the sherco so they felt right, no idea how wide they are, never actually measured them.

Sorry BBK i'd have bet money that I heard him say he ordered two, one of each, and got approved for both. If you don't find one soon there's way to find out which dealer has them, all the Honda dealers should have the ability to do a vehicle search on other dealers inventory and tell you who has one in stock, probably have to wait until they actually have them for that to work though and it seems like they really don't like to do it for some reason, maybe offer the guy at the local dealership a beer or something to do the search for you.

According to the Honda dealer I spoke to there not doing the pre-order like they did before in the US, don't know about the UK, where the individual orders the bike, then it's shipped to the dealer. This year it's up to the dealer to order what he thinks he can sell, then Honda decides how many and what that dealer gets. The Honda place I'm dealing with ordered one 4RT and one 300RR, he said they got approved for both of them, should be delivered to the warehouse the end of the month beginning of Nov. I'm getting the 4RT so they will have a 300RR for sale if someone not already put a deposit down on it. So you have to call a dealer to see who has them ordered. As of last month there was at least one Honda dealer in my area that still had a 2016 300RR for sale. This is the same dealer who said they also ordered a 4ride, he didn't say anything about that last time I spoke to them. I guess they didn't get it.

Was on the phone with a Honda dealer yesterday, interestingly he bought up the subject of the 4 ride, he said they told Honda they would like to offer them here in the US believes they would sell really well in his area, (north east). He also said that's all they can do is ask, no guarantees..

So do the spacers work, you can lower the rpm with no apparent side effects.

Thanks, I got to ride for a couple hours not long after I wrote that and they started feeling like they were breaking in some, or maybe I'm just getting use to riding with them, either way i'll stick with them for a while longer.
