  1. Actually reading more of your posts, I think what you are looking for can be resolved by learning clutch control. You are expecting the bike to hit harder with the throttle. The secret is in learning to slip the clutch at just the right time and then dump it just after you get to almost full revs. You need to find other trials riders to ride with!
  2. The clutch pressure plate only goes on one way. Look at the spring towers. One has a notch it it and there is a notch or mark on the pressure plate.
  3. Either way you are going to burn yourself.
  4. Trouble with the short one, it's like a knife blade. Had one make a friend an extra drain. Halfway between his anus and scrotum. New Year, first trials first section. What bad luck!
  5. Usually I start with the easiest things when finding a solution to a new occurance on any non starting machinery. Not jumping into something towards the end of possibilities. As i typed this my sons kick starter stuck to his foot peg. I handed him a grinder and fixed in 30 seconds.
  6. Oil is oil when you get down to basics.All it has to do is lubricate. Just like the Elf oil they regard so highly is made for a dry clutch. It's like nobody ever reads the label. My boy buy's the Elf, and I put in Dex XI in all my trials bikes. And I am the one doing the work. Lemur sounds like my boss. What ever is on hand is what he uses. Not that it does not work. We have alot of hydraulic oil on hand, but its not going in my 301. This pic is for lemur. Tesla pulling our smallest excavator.
  7. On trial bikes it's not the transmission which matters for type of oil it's the clutch which is the number one priority. On gassers ATF was always best if riding the big stuff.

    2024?

    Buy a 301! Different colors and it feels totally new.
  9. The middle washer was just a spacer and the circlip. Should be fine, not ever a real tight fit. The sprocket just has to be on the splines.
  10. I soak it in gasoline/solvent for a day or 2 and then brush it clean and do the same in any motor oil I have. Go about a month using light chain lube, then repeat the process all over again.
  11. Most bikes work fine without them. I would not sweat it, but the adustment will be quite different.
  12. This is funny. If you want a real manual buy a Montesa. Downloading off the web is pretty damn easy. I remember my expensive '92 Beta the manual was basically the sales brochure.
  13. The confusion is not leaving enough free play for expansion. Once it gets hot the free play goes away. This has happened ever since trials went to hydraulics, which by 1994 all but a few bikes had a hydraulic clutch. What happens is the rider gets his levers just right. Including bringing in the levers just so, and having just enough free play for his sweet spot. The combination of all the adjustments brings the clutch to be set so tight, that as soon as you have 30 minutes or so into a ride it all goes to crap. Good luck with your settings. Some get it right and most keep fighting it.
  14. With a tiny amount of free play, as soon as it gets hot the fluid will not move as it should. Then it slowly gets worse and worse. There are two holes in the reservoir which the piston has to pass by Without free play the piston blocks the second hole and the fluid is stopped.

  17. No matter, just working on the carb can cause the cable to be displaced. Changing out both screws will make the whole thing a mess at the first attempt at starting. Better to leave the idle adjust screw all the way loose and then adjust. Not all aftermarket adjusters are an upgrade. Most are poor quality. Your are lucky you did not cold sieze the motor. That was not a carb rebuild, just a little disassembly. You should be able to tell if the air filter was seated right when you remove it and the grease is on the filter and the box evenly. It would be quite costly if you suck dirt through a 2 stroke. Sounds like you are figuring it all out. Better to keep asking questions than not. Good luck.
  18. You need to learn to start the bike. It should start in one or two kicks. The pro motor is strange. The kick start gear is only about a half moon shape. Where most are 360 degree's. I have not heard if a starter breaking in years. I had the first 300 Raga ever sold, 109 out if 109 - 400 in 2004. My son broke it in my yard. He was about 5 feet off the ground and jumped off during a crash and knocked it open and it broke upon impact. But then again he endoed off a ledge in my front yard, knocked the chain off and wrapped the chain around the front sprocket. Broke two gears in the tranny. The Gasser is not the most robust design. We both ride Montesa's now.

  20. There is a difference between the factory and std. Models. Also the Beta has more weight bias to the front. The Gasser feels beter in the parking lot, but for low traction I would chose the Beta.
  21. Yeah, we had the same bike for two years and the clutch was always perfect. Have you tried a rebuid kit on the master cylinder yet? The finger height can make it light or heavy pull. It sounds more like the m/c are sticking or slow. Have you used the wrong fluid in the m/c ?
  22. Did you measure the finger hieght when you put it together. What kind of oil ate you using and how long have you owned it?
  23. No riding above that point. We stay mainly in the arroyos riding solid sandstone in the canyons. This is BLM land that we have had designated a trials only area since 1978. Of course its open to the public. Hikers and mountain bikers are always amazed at how clean and beautiful we keep it. Almost a square mile of trials paradise.
