Wait Dan until they have a clutch!

The fork level is a 160mm without the springs and fully compressed. Pretty simple for most mechanics.

Looks like a bit of other racing between the sections. The Sidi Discovery comment might just work. My son also has this problem with boots. Next time though he gets to buy them. Went through two pairs of Gaerne`s this way.

Could be a cam chain tensioner. Either way, quit running it and tear her down.

You might ask Gas Gas questions under Gas Gas to get a better response. Unfortunately the best video to replace the seal was removed from the internet by stupidity. A screwdriver and an allan wrench was all that was needed. I would fix it proper, as a spinning impellor could cost you in the long run.

The skid plate does not need to be removed. In fact the frame bends so much that it makes it easier not too.

Thanks Bilks helping me spend my hard earned bucks. I am a sucker for tools!

Does the manual not show the level at 160mm from the top. A level is a better measurement than a capacity. PS you can probably fix the leak without taking it apart. Lift the dust seal off and use a feeler gauge around the inside of the fork seal lip. This can dislodge any dirt causing the leak. Good luck.

Probably from Beta only as it`s a reverse puller.http://shop.americanbeta.com/p/flywheel-puller-evo

I don`t but curious, you rebuilding the motor already?

Sounds more like the clutch is slipping in the higher gears.

**** Billy, they just mount the bike backwards and sit on the bars! Don`t tell me you never rode a bike backwards? I started on bicycles and moved up to full size bikes. In the seventies there were a couple of guys that did this for a living in the states. Mainly doing simple things, but some could do high speed wheelies. Being right handed I sometimes crashed. At pushing 60 I only ride bicycles backwards anymore.

1984 Montesa 350. Hard to find a nice one. http://www.wikiwand.com/ca/Montesa_Cota_349/350

The only way to check the shaft is to remove it. Also the pins on the drum the selector connects too can break.

It`s supposed to be the rim that is slightly off on tolerance.

Going to 4 springs is not the answer. You can take a spring out and measure it and order a lighter spring from several spring mfg`rs. Inside, outside, total length, collapsed length, number of coils and spring diameter. Takes some experimentation, but worth it. I just spent two days making the perfect clutch for me on my beta. I lost my tendon in the tip of my clutch finger at Christmas. After 40 yrs I just cannot get my middle finger to work instead of my index finger.

Wrong, we do not want more rules. You should just worry about yourself. Most of my injuries have been torn ACL`s. So I wear custom knee braces. So should we require everyone to wear custom knee braces? Maybe we should require a test section and if you 5 it, you load the bike and go home. I have seen countless 5`s from the stupid magnets. And stupid mistakes when your hand comes off the bars. Ever seen them at a motocross race yet? Maybe we need a lanyard in the car so you cannot text. That would be fun watching the cars stalling all over the place! By the way Guy`s I was mistaken. I`ve ruined a perfectly good helmet twice. I forgot the time a large truck ran me over on the street.

Did you replace the vent tubes?

If it`s out of whack, find a friend or shop with a press. Couple minute job.

Just how long have you been riding trials that makes you sooo concerned. Just so you understand this, you are more likely to get hurt from the lanyard coming off at the wrong moment than it coming off at the right moment. Did you see how far Fuji gas`s Montesa flew in Japan last year. The lanyard did nothing. A helmet has saved me once. (I started riding before helmets) I`ve had more injuries than most through the years and safety devices or lack of is not the problem. You are human, **** happens. 45 years of trials, cant wait for the next twenty plus!

No it`seems to me it was way inside the frame top of the radiator, Maybe the radiator top bolt.

The Jap Zap came along over 25 years ago. At that time new techniques moved through the world pretty damn slow and who knows how many name changes it went through. And yes it was supposed to be developed by Jap riders, which I could see since they ride a lot of man made obstacles. Just like we were amazed by the bunny hop in `74 as the new technique to get over under cut ledges!

Boy you two should know better. The Jap zap was the original name, but in fairy land it became a zap. A zap is basically a double blip with the clutch included. Nowadays it has included the bridge which is just a stopped zap. The biggest thing with the Jap Zap is you hit the front tire lower than the blip. (This idea has changed through the years to include hitting the front anywhere since suspension has become better.) This compresses the suspension and the clutch is used to utilize the full force of the release. The zap and blip always uses the front wheel on the obstacle first. There is a lot more too it. Check out Ryan Young training videos. Anything that the rear wheel hits first is a splatter or an old fashioned jump.

It should, but the chance of the coil being bad is slim. Have you trimmed the coil wire back 10-20mm ?
