I was a Fantic dealer and had to replace about 5 of them. In Fact at our first USA National in`95. The Fantics were all getting manifolds and the Gassers were getting complete fork seal holders with a new size seal. It was entertaining watching the warranties take place at an event. Long lines at both camps!

That`s funny, what till that thing really breaks. Gassers ride real well, but they have some issues still. The exhaust is not one of the problems.

That is what was wrong with the early `95`s and they came out with a new manifold under warranty. Know the history or someone that you could check manifolds?

What ratio of pre mix are you using.

Speak up Mitch. He updated parts , but bot fluid.

Shoe Goo fixes everything.

Bilks, I like that picture. Only on a gas gas is it normal wear and tear to break gears.

Last weekend I rode a modern event on a Beta tr33. It was quite comfortable on the loop. Matter of fact it was Willards old bike. Cleaned 15 of 27 sections! Same people that ride your SR expert line!

Sounds to me like the lower end is just flooded. One kick and it wets the plug. Pull the plug and maybe the head pipe too! You can kick it through without the plug. Be careful of a fire. Been more than one bike I`ve seen go up in flames.

I have always seen the Gaerne came on the big side. Seems I always got a 10. Wore 11 in tennis shoes and 10.5 in boots. Sidi`s were always small, but the better boot. Nowadays I cannot wear the slim Sidi, but welcome the comfortable Gaerne.

That bike is very clean. It could have all the restrictors still! It ran like a 125 without these removed. You have to take off the header, as there is a washer plugging the pipe. The air box had a lid that stopped most of the air flow. And the least of all was the end off the mid-pipe which had to be ground off with a dremel. Are you in the states?

Brake fluid ruins the pads. Either get new pads or you have to burn the oil off. A propane torch seems to be the best method.

Since no one has replied, I will tell you the cheapest way. Just take a drill and drill out the plastic throttle till it works. I have done up to 1/4 inch. (6mm) But then again I have dozens of old throttle assemblies.

I laugh at people saying how hard there hydraulic clutch is. All the years we had a cable clutch, learning to hop and do nose wheelies on the old air cooled bikes!

You might want to check with who you got the parts from. Unless they were used.

That`s within spec. You upgraded the cover, so you are now using mineral oil?

A Montesa is not a Gasser. After eight months you have not found a fellow rider`s opinion. Yes super smooth. Montesa generally have always been that way.

So was the finger height correct?

The `92 would rev out good for a trials bike, but maybe not as much as you are looking for. If the bike has cleared out the excess fuel, then the key way should not be an issue.

2014 was the first year American Honda sold a Montesa trials bike. No parts available on this side of the pond that are not brought in from other means.

Just guessing this does not belong to a trials rider? The 315 was a great bike. If it runs good, just patch the muffler or the FMF all purpose muffler is easily adaptable. I`m sure the price is somewhat negotiable. Trouble is we do not have many used bikes available in the USA.

The `92 came with a Mikuni. Should have about a 140 main and 27.5 pilot. If your carb is set right, I would pull the flywheel and check the keyway as they broke often.

Is the plug wet or dry?

Been 14 years and people still buy them.???

Everybody used to complain that the early Sherco`s had the lightist clutch. I have tried several times on bikes with very hard clutches to remove the springs. Two things happened. The clutch was easier and the clutch would slip. Usually the clutch would slip at the worst possible moment! Glad to hear it is working again.
