If you did NOT have this circular play then you WOULD have a problem. The piston has to some what float in the cylinder head as the centre of the barrel, as it bolts down to the cases will never be deadly accurate. That is also one of the jobs of the piston rings to help seal this slight non concentric play. A little bit of play left and right at the piston pin A little bit of front to back from the con rod A little bit from the piston as it fits in the rings All this equals some play.

A couple of things: The flywheel threads should be the opposite of the flywheel spinning direction. The taper on the crank shaft and the taper on the flywheel mating is what keeps them turning together. The flywheel nut is there to facilitate that tight taper relationship. Never put grease or anything else on the flywheel taper or crank shaft external taper. As for the torque settings this is easy to find by finding the size of the crank shaft size and looking up a torque spec for that size bolt. The bike manufacturers do not determine torque setting on bolts but rather there are international standards that every good engineering department uses. So measure the crank at the threads, it it is 18mm then look up the torque spec for a 18mm bolt. DO NOT USE LOCTITE on the threads as torque specs are for dry fits.

Dan All of the above you said not withstanding. One other thing I found was that the Fat Bar clamps inside diameter does not fit the outside diameter of the fat bars. Basically the bar clamps are only clamping on a small circumference of the bars causing it to jerk or wiggle when dropping off something other than a blade of grass.? It is easy to check by either using your wife's lipstick (or yours) coating the inside of the bar clamps tighten down and then loosen and remove looking for the lipstick witness marks on the bars to how much it is actually contacting the bar circumference. With a Beta 4T I owned it was not much holding the bars on and it would clunk quite a bit until I matched the bar clamps circumference to the bar circumference. A long shot I know but it was reality on that particular bike. On a side note: On any bike that has bar clamps with a small dot on them (i.e. Montesa) it is imperative that one matches up the dots on bar clamps and triple tree stanchions and then tightens down the side with the dots first. Once that is done tighten the non dot side to preference. WHY? Because the bar clamps with dots on them are not even and if you turn it upside down you will notice that one leg is taller than the other. They want one side tightened down mating to the surface of the triple clamps and the other side arcing down across the bars. Non dotted bar clamps are meant to bridge across bending evenly over the bars as one tightens them down side by side.

Anything that is subjective can not be a rule! Period. If rules are open to subjectivity then there will be many interpretations of a given rule.

Hey Mark If you do not like the first video posted then how about this one then?

I was just about to say the same thing. He is quite a rider.

Is this Bou's twin?

Seems Barry is a stand up block....... Welcome to the club.............. Us sold farts will help when ever we can if we understand the question, problem. Buckfast.......... stick that up yer bum. Send me a bottle of Irn-Bru............ LOL Cheers

Yes, pop down to CVS (A Chemist in the USA) and get some Vagisal. Could be a yeast infection. At least your exhaust port is okay? Do not let the piston get close to the exhaust port until you have blown out out the exhaust port. Lets us know how you make out (no pun intended).

Barry You wrote; "Hi there bike been running well but left petrol tap on and fouled the plug so cleaned plug and checked piston crown and it has a layer of dirty oil . piston has no lateral play eny ideas" What is there in your post that suggest or hints to you took the exhaust off to reseal it? I was not the only one that was confused by your post. You stated: I left the petrol on. It fouled the plug, Cleaned the plug, checked the piston crown it has a layer of dirty oil on it. No side play on the piston. These are all statements. We are well aware that carbon deposits form on the piston crown so what was the question, what was it you wanted ideas on? What did you expect to find on top of the piston crown, custard? Please educate us on how you could possible determine there was no lateral side play on the piston by checking through the exhaust port? Was your post a question or a statement of dirty oil on the piston crown? We dont read minds........ Glasweigians do other things with there head like given Glesga kisses Like This Quote MultiQuote

This is equivalent to: I rode my bike on Sunday parked it in the garage and I noticed Monday it had dirt on the tyres! The bigger questions why you pulled the head off just because you let the fuel tap on?

Sounds like Cope's HARD drive has a virus..... Ask a doctor for a prescription for these.....

HAM Maybe some DHMO got into Copes machine, we should have it tested ASAP

From the back... The handling must be BAD......

Real car seen in Texas car lot for sale.

Hey Mr Ham You wrote "Oh and by the way the word Phoenix is spelt so, not Pheonix Ok, you've genuinely lost me on this one, what's it about?" Your handle info below and the spelling of Phoenix. Or maybe you where on DHMO at the time "Dont Hate My Obsessiveness" With with all things Canadian period to notice? Location:N.E. England - Rund Wor Way Bike:Sherco 290-05 Club:Jurreh Sinclurs.... Pheonix Personaly I would spell it your way, BUT the vast majorty of the world spells it Phoenix.

I have never seen one of these before........... And how many did you or Bob sell LOL

www.motorspecial.it/sezioni/moto_e_la_storia_del_fuoristrada/beta_tr_35.htm This is the link to it above. TR34C Is Trials blah blah Campione or Champion.

I just verified that and you are correct. I stand corrected. I guess they did not make it across the pond as I never saw one over her.

There is no such thing as a TR35. There is a TR34R which stood for a Trials Third model (TR32 & TR33) The R stands for a Jordi Tarres Replica.

Axle is right Tryals Shop should have some parts. Lewisport is the US distributer for Montesa parts that is why I thought of them. Either way you should have no issues getting parts. Cheers BillyT

Try Lewisport in California. Call Bill Merit and tell him you spoke with me. Bill's number is 805 368 0996. Bill can get you anything you need for the Montesa. BillyT

Cope, you are bang on about the potency potential of poutine! With Armstrong living in Austin, TX and being so close to the Laredo border I am sure it flowed freely at his Austin compound. I heard Sheryl Crow got addict to it whilst she dated him and she had to go to re-hab. I understand that in some states there is a 30 day waiting period for background checks before you can buy some. You can even get medical Poutine with a prescription but that may go away as people are abusing the process. Poutine and guacamole rolled up in a taco and then smoked is apparently da bomb.
