Curious to know what gearing Montesa riders have set up. Is there a difference in the new 2014 Respol set up compared to the older Montesa's? Basically what front sprocket and what rear sprocket are you using? Thanks guys. BillyT

You want some tips? You have been watching too many top level expert videos. Drop the motocross style, slow down....... It is not a race..... The things/obstacles you are riding will not be presented to you in a real trial at a beginner level. Due to your speed you are banging into rocks on the hills with no unloading or technique. One can see the back end of the bike kick when you hit an uphill obstacle. You need to practice riding in a tighter area, not just wide open and dump the clutch and go. We see you can go very fast in a straight line, BUT can you do a tight figure eight turn? How about some slow off cambers turns. Other than that, good enthusiasm, flexibility, and potential. Nice to see and hear a video that is not drowned out by a music background

Yes, the pants have a permanent brown stain in them now LOL

From a long time ago in my Scorpa days. Anybody ever got up an obstacle and thought "oh ****, now what?" How the hell do I get off this obstacle" Same rock different angle. If I remember correctly, I fell off..........

Bou and the 12 apostles bikes?

Hell no! It was a question out of curiosity. The Repsol is a keeper.

Can a S3 flywheel weight still be fitted on the new 2014 Beta Evo Factory. I am curious to know if this new design takes away a rider/owners ability to add a flywheel weight due to the new design of the mag? Cheers BillyT

A grabby clutch is more down to clutch materials than oils. However one does not have to much of a choice when it comes to clutch materials on stock trials bikes. With that being said One is forced to experiment with oils. I swear by this oil and currently use it as my 2014 Montesa Repsol clutch oil. I agree with Dad02 stay away from ATF.............. Check out Castrol Tri Zone on You Tube on how this oil works well on clutches. BillyT

All depends on what bike! There is no mention of what bike you have.

You do not kick a 4T you push it through the stroke. A 4T is very easy to push through the stroke. The 250 Beta 4T is much easier to push through than the 300cc Beta 4T.

Tom A suggestion. Ask your friends not to shout or scream as this will cause you to edit the sound. I am not quite sure what you are trying to convey in the video, obstacles,wheelies, hill climbing etc There is a lot of dead video space with your rider just riding off into flat space/ground hidden behind trees, bushes etc . Most of the video is the rider riding away from the camera. Maybe position your self closer to the obstacle and have your rider come to you???? Other than that great effort and riding. Cheers

Zippy point taken ,BUT if they want pointers it is hard to help if we dont hear the engine, gearing, RPMs, luging etc

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0Rbw_wkeOs This is a very old video of me. No music just my old bones creaking and the bike noises.

People view your video to see AND HEAR the bike and rider. If they wanted to hear music they would go play a CD!

Why the music..............

Chris, So what you gonna do when your Repsol from Malcolm Smith comes along if you can only get a red sticker?

The Wikipedia VIN number info did not make any sense with respect to my Montesa. I did some digging around and got this from a good friend who works at Honda. This makes more sense. Montesa Vin.pdf

mcman I live in Irvine Ca. I have a 2014 Repsol I am trying to find out if I can get the stickers.

From what I have been lead to believe the ninth digit VIN number represents the country that it is has complied with in the way of emissions etc. My ninth digit is an 8.

If I remember correctly when these mapping switches started appearing on trials bike we could not feel any difference. We hooked up a timing light (to a Beta)and played with the switch. It was a long time ago but I think nothing happened with the timing changing until approximately 4000 RPM or high in the mid-range. Cheers BillyT

Hey Montesa riders out there. Can you please tell me what your ninth digit VIN number is and from what country you are from? Mine (2014 Repsol) is a number eight and I am in the USA. I was told that the ninth digit states what country it is approved in ???? Thanks Guys

I think the rider should attach the land-yard around one of their ankles. It would make you think twice about taking a dab as it would not only cost you dab but also kill the bike for a five........ Now........ am I serious or what

Andy Thanks for the PDF pages. I am not sure yet on the rear action. I have Montesa riders all telling me I need this and that! I am trying separate what the older Montesa suspension was like compared to what it is like now. I have no way of comparing.

Guys is anyone on here using V Mar linkages or another type/make. Is it really required on a 2014 Repsol? The ads all say it livens up the rear end! Thanks guys

What is the general consensus on the best Titanium exhaust (header & silencer) for the 2014 Repsol? What are the pros & cons on Mitani Vs Termaggon (spelling)? How much weight savings could be expected? Thanks guys.
