Not all are the same length, spring size, or mount size. Plus Gas Gas has gone bankrupt twice and changed owners 3 times since 2015.

Yep, it was the last year of the 321.

It`s virtually impossible to learn trials correctly without some help from another rider that knows how t ride proper. By yourself you will devolop bad habits that will be hard to resolve. First and foremost is a proper turn on flat ground, then on a hill and then figure 8`s with multi off cambers. When and only when you are doing well you throw some ledges and then mix in some rollers. Splats and zaps will be the last things you need to learn as a roll up has to become automatic as 90% of anything you can ride will be easily conquered with this most basic move. Then the next step is the double blip which cause most people to just give up as there are too many things happening at once. Again riding with trials riders and competing will speed your progress 10 fold vs by yourself.

The proven setup is 9/44 Super low first. 2nd becomes the most used gear. And 3rd is almost identical to the stock 2nd gear. Being a 6 speed it does not lose much top speed.

If you just have to talk to someone with great knowlege of the Montesa 4rts and he stocks most parts. Overland Trail Cycle 8 Belvidere Street Crafton, Pa. 15205-2819 412-780-3693

All three of them handle oem parts. Fact is its faster to order from the uk and cheaper. The only part I would order from a Honda dealer would be the fenders for free shipping. I have done this for years. Best to use the part numbers from your manual. Partszilla, trials super store or the best is the splatshop in the u.k.

Glad you found something. Even in 98 there were not many choices. The 02 to 08 was a side mounted shock with no linkage is why no one awnsered. Go out and have some fun.

It`s all piece by piece and expensive. Also not very easy. Could be a broken intake boot as they are a problem. If its running good otherwise, the muffler could probably need repacked/replaced.

A bike is worthless unless it starts.

You are wasting your time. Sell it and buy a Beta 200 or a 250.

That looks like an A.I. generated post. What garbage the future looks like.

When was the last time the bike ran?

Red rubber grease is what is needed to rebuild brake calipers. They sure can stick, but time will tell. Braktecs are known to go bad quickly.

m As far as the m/c goes the seal does not seat properly, so you screw the tensioner bolt tighter. Once the brakes start heating everything goes bad. Good luck.

The master cylinder is probably junk. If you had a good brake guy, he could clean up the surface inside and just use a rebuild kit. Myself I would buy a new m/c and start over. I dislike what is normally the quota flow. There are several after market options. Nissin and a few others are available, but pricey and not a whole kit. I threw away the braktec`s on my Montesa 301 as I had been down this path before ( I still have a nissin m/c to an ajp caliper as a spare} I run the large ajp m/c to the TRS gold front caliper. Strong and dependable. You don`t want to ask about my clutch. LOL

Pat rode a 20 for years! Unbelievable what he could do on one! Check out the last 4 minutes of a full grown man on a 20. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D9FCPm-7kWDA&ved=2ahUKEwiu5suc58mEAxWWLkQIHbWZDqUQwqsBegQIBBAG&sqi=2&usg=AOvVaw3thYHsC6iezOabizdXfIjE

I have to agree with Dan. Beta rear brakes have always flat out sucked compared to the other brands. It`s almost like they had an engineer had no desire to make the brake any better than on or off. maybe the later model years have gotten better. I gave up on Beta when the next Gen model never happened. It would be tough to get me off my Montesa. But I just bought a lightly used 2016 250 for my grandson. (Novice rider owned.) Who knows I could be back to Beta by the end of the year.

Now I get it. I forgot you basically run your own club. Go forward with what is working for you. Our local club has never followed the NATC as far as marking our local events. We keep it real simple. Yellow paper with black arrows for section splits and two colored ribbon for loop markers. Marking a National for the NATC is crazy amount of work in comparison. Hundreds of stakes are needed. Just from a safety stand point. Stakes should never be used. Let alone having to ride around a loop with a back pack full of them. I miss the old days of just having flags just stuck in my boots! By the way we don`t just ride desert. Half of the year we ride in the mountains. We have been lucky enough to use several ski area`s over the years. Which the main ski lodge makes a great place for the pits to be run from. Good luck with your section building.

Ron Sr. always did Geoff and Ron jr`s Beta`s with smaller hydraulic lines.

Have you never ridden a NATC National? All the gates are white back ground with colored arrows. How can you not see them!!!

We went to the NATC crap like 12 years ago. Red on the right and blue on the left is way better than NOT being able to see the ribbon when it snows or hails. We are in New Mexico, but ride high elevation in the summer. Any of our events all year long can be in snow!!! White ribbon is for idiots! We finally went back to red and blue a few years back. Now if you like orange go for it. But when you are in a section and you have red on the right, you might just be going in the right direction. Now the NATC needs to get the back up rule fixed before April!!!

It was the same type system through the 93- 98 I believe. I think I still have some bruchures and litature laying around in my filing cabinet from those years. At that time all I knew was about dot 4 or dot 5 since that is what Snell used to push in the Gas Gas bikes in the states.
