You defo need a number plate

I am a mechanic, lol i know about plugs, what I mean is that a grade 6 sounds a bit low I would of thought a 7/8 would be a better heat grade than a 6

Ace game just spent about an hour on it, same I dont ride as good as I play lol

Wondering what grade plug everyone uses, i have a 03 montesa and the manual says to use a 6, but in the past ive been using anything from a 6 to a 9? For some reason a 6 sounds a bit soft??????

I was a stone throw away!!! I wish the sighs would start a bit earlyer, as some events ive been to only have 1 or 2, its hard to find somewhere if you dont know the area.

Ive been told all you need for a day MOT is... A number plate A horn Road legle tyres

lol, ye I ment the one that has just been, went all the way there and coulnt find a single sigh for it, it was between new mills and marple b6101, yes?

I have a montesa and all the moden ones are all 250cc, if they made a 200 then i would defo ride one. My father has been riding since he was 20ish and is now almost 60, he told me he was getting back into trials again just after I bought mine, and said he would get a 200cc of some kind, and he would still kick my ass. He rode in expert in his best days and always had a small engine, he told me that a 250cc is a bit much unless you have a 2nd name of lampkin

LOLOLOLOLOLOL just reading all the different ways you guys take a tyre off I have never had any bother myself, why dont you just walk round the tyre wall a few times? Ive done it like that for years, it always comes off

I have just bought a 03 montesa, its my 4th one lol, If there is play in the linkage then it is starting to wear, but its still ok for a bit, depending on how much play is in it. The way to find play in the linkage is to put the bike on a ramp, so that the bash guard is on the ramp and the rear wheel is hanging down so the rear shock isnt compressed at all. Then move the swinging arm up and down. If there is any move ment with out the rear shock moving then the linkage has started to worn. A little play is ok for a while but if there is more than about a inch and a half of play then your better off changing the linkage

Was there any sign posts anywhere for that event?

Any of the montesa 315r bikes are pretty much the same, the 1998 one was the 2nd of them. Each year they changed slightly, if you are looking to by a bike a montesa is probably the toughest bike so for a novice its probably the best one. The rx is year 1999 which had different jet settings to the 1998, only thing with the 1998 one is the clutch can start to whine after a bit, but over all its a good bike to start on, probably a better bike if you put the 1999/2000 jets in it
