Being one year apart I would go with the better condition/and or the one that was not ridden as hard. The Ohlins is better, better yet if you get the stock one also!

You have to remove the case. Then remove the snap ring on the plastic gear. The gear then comes off the shaft, it looks like the pin holds it,but it comes right off. There is another snap ring between the seal and the bearing. Fairly easy job if you have snap ring pliers.Check the shaft for wear. If it is not too bad polish up the shaft before assembly and grease the seal.

The michelin has directional and a balancing mark (dot). The directional does not seem to have a purpose. If you are a top rider rotating the tire for a one day event does have a purpose. If you are rotating to extend tire life you are actually just wearing it out faster. Rotating the tire will wear the height of the knobs faster, which means you will need a tire sooner.
-
Before you panic, I would drain the fuel and start over! Also check the tranny oil,OVERFILLED? Also check the packing in the muffler.
-
Rule of thumb, you need a new one. Now if you are refurbing an antique just for show try an upholstry shop. My well crashed helmets hang on a wall as troghies, the rest were thrown away as junk.
-
Forgot that since this is not a trials bike you might `fiind` a cooler rack and maybe splurge for a can holder.
P.S. Told ya this was easy!!
-
Yes , find an old super trap or some thing free for the exhaust and you will never hear the intake again. Besides that exhaust must weigh 20lbs!!!!
-
You go up on the pilot because it comes lean from the factory. Needle is non adjustable and if he wants to spend money there are several threads on other needles. At this point I would look at a larger cs. sprocket and in the future an adjustable cam chain sprocket which is only 20 dollars if you like a little work.
-
e Yes, I have an old set of orifice drills from my father. 76 or 77 sounds like what I used!
-
I do not remember what I drilled mine . I think the result was around a 45 or 48. The idea was stock was lean. Everyone always forgets the pilot always flows! Mine coughed and sputterd at mid revs and this fixed it. Good luck!
-
S_hit, give us a hard one next time. The pilot is too small, hard to find also. Adventure rider trials forum had a thread about cb400 jets. I `m inpatient. Drill it!! Also a larger CS sprocket can`t hurt. The air box needs all that silly stuff on top(the plasic looking pipes) removed they come right out and can be re-installed. The main could still be too small at your elevation. Seemed I had a 100 at 6000ft. If your main jet is as large as you say, try the air box first. Good luck!
-
60 psi will just give you a 60 psi tire. Takes almost 100psi which is dangerous. I always set my tire outside on a hose that I have a manual valve and wait for two pops plenty far from me with the door closed. It is worth it to fix the rim band. The only tire I have had luck with a tube and no rim lock is the dunlap. Michelin is the only tire you need a beader on, the rest should pop in place unless stored flat before hand.
-
Is it the color of milk or coffee and how long since the last oil change?
-
He had to push it in. Lay it down and pull it back out. If you have the stock muffler you should have plenty of room. Also check the middle muffler mounts to see if they are the proper parts.
-
Yes on a sherco you can get away with the shorties.(sherco has the lightest clutch pull) Second your lever mounts are too close to your grips. They are also to low to provide any control. If you have any top riders around check out thier handlebars. If you ride in competition you cannot cut the levers shorter. Once you see someone stabbed with a lever you will get it.
-
In your original post you said 75/90. Gear oils are usually just 70, 75 or 80. Brands are quite different though. I have had or have ridden most years of Beta`s in competition. From `89 to the present they all stick when cold. But all were consistant after being warm. If you took the time to change `when` the clutch works I would bet it is in the slave. I have done the `fix` on several bikes and it is well worth it as it is free. I do not believe it is an air problem, just leakin` enough to slow or stop full movement. Good luck as it is quite annoying.
Have you had the slave apart and inspected for wear? They do make a rebuild for that also ,but that is why I suggested the up grade.
-
Beta clutches have always stuck when cold. The 80 wt people talked about is light gear oil. You used hypoid gear oil designed for axles. Yes do the clean the glue from the plates. You already have the large M/C. It sounds like you have other hydraulic issues. Rebuild or replace the master cylinder. The next step would be the slave cylinder. I would replace it with the race model from Beta. A clutch like this is a dangerous way to ride. I have usually used atf or Maxima light gear oil.
-
I would reroute your stator wiring to the front frame rail. From the picture it is still, under the motor.Just make a new outlet in the case
-
Thanks for all your hard work John. My son and I had a great time. Best trials I have ridden in years! The sections were perfect.
-
Hmm why would you start a thread that the sole problem is yourself? You lost it. The rebuild kit is the same kit for 90% of the bikes that year. Has nothing to do with just one manufacturer. Hope the kit fixes it, otherwise you will have wasted more.
-
Hate to say the shims vary bike to bike. Just did mains on my cota 200 no fun. There is specific measurements to come up with the correct shim pack. Best to find a true montesa man.
-
So, Cope is the bearing lubed some other way like the gasser?
-
Wow, my first thought is a bike rack on the back. Second thought would just remove the bars. Just a couple of eye bolts and something removeable to brace/block the wheel since nothing is solid in any rv.
-
Remove the clutch and check the top hat at the end of the shift shaft. If that is all you are quite lucky!
-
Dad of 2 has got it correctly diagnosed. After just seeing the same thing happen to a 2010. You need to have the tranmission inspected now before you actually start beaking gears and need a total replacement. Yes it will just destroy it self if you choose to ignore it. Out of curiosty is this the Econo model?
