I've had an 06 for the last 10yrs and it's had one plug a tyre or 3 and chain and sprockets more than once . It's still on the original brake pads ! It's never failed to start for me , I keep threatening to update for a newer model but can't really see the point . No wonder they don't sell many as they go on and on !
on and on
Your story sounds just like mine but i did order a new 300RR this year my 06 is still running and happy gonna try to get my wife into riding with it. My 300rr is duein april 26th been a long wait for it i ordered it in Oct.
check your mains if its run hot for very long you might have scalded the bearing if not addresed could throw a rod then you will have a grown up push bike
if i remember right back when montesa 4rts came out they said to start bike let run for 5 min to allow it to adjust to your climate and elevation changes if you ride the same are area all the time your pretty well set .
for what it worth you can buy a road kit in the AU should be able to check there to see if ac/dc should be enough to run a trailtec light or one like it . If you can run headlights tail light and turn signals .good luck hey post what you find out okay
Its much more...low ..mid ...top end all over the place...its much improved......so much so that they decided not to put it into any of their spec sheets/sales brochures.
The 2015 makes a max torque figure of 23.1 Nm @5,500 rpm. The 2016 more than the 2015..... its improved; they probably do not want to state it because the difference may scare customers.
ive never had a water issue with my 06 but if it didnt start it was 2 slow push downs on kick start throttle wide open then release then give one good kick and ride your sections.
Ive ridden 2016 300rr and found that the clutch was pretty stiff i watched the owners son ride the the bike and noticed he was having arm pump as well. i've been riding my 2006 4rt since i took her out of the box i did put on a 315r master cylinder on it made it super nice. How are the new bikes don't want to just go off this one bike. if they are stiff what are riders doing for easier pulls?
I rode a TRS 300RR this last weeken here in Taiwan I thought the clutch to be much stiffer to pull than my 06 montesa . The bike is light the guy that owns really like it but if i had it I would have to do something with clutch.
What do you do for such a hard pull on a TRS? I watch this guy ride hes having arm pump holding clutch shakes it out and keeps on riding i think he's around 17 so can't blame age.
I rode a couple of new bikes here in Taiwan a Montesa 300RR and a TRS 300RR both had teathers and I killed them by forgetting i was attached frankly though I liked having them on because they were not my bikes and knowing that if i made a mistake they shut off. The cost a trials bike in Taiwan is like buying a car. I like this group of riders here.
As for the guys riding there vintage bikes I don't think they should be required to that like making someone who has a 1970 hemi cuda convertible and making them put in airbags these guys have been riding these bikes for years in most cases.
Ive seen the pics and videos of the vintage riders when their bikes were not vintage, heck they didn't even wear helmets and oh there were a whole lot more riders back then.
Which 2t would you go back? I've been riding my 06 4RT since she I tore opened the box still a nice running bike with no serious issues, do need to change a fork seal now but what a great bike. I was thinking about a different bike to order but after talking with friends Im staying with what i know has been a great bike I ordered 2017 300RR I can hardly wait for it to come in. They tell me I should get April 26th. Seems like a long ways off
Its really simple we dont have to work on our bikes we put gas in them and ride then wash them off. When you really set down and look at the bikes they are really well made. Next time you go to and event look around see who is working on there bikes setting jets working on a clutch mixing fuel. Also ask to ride the Montesa. Like I said earlier i took mine out of the box in 2006 i have had to replace fenders and a set of fork seals other than that gas and go
Been riding 2006 4rt since i took it out of the box still runs great i did just place an order for a 2017 300rr. Im about to turn 55 i started riding trials in 04 started on gg 280 then went to an 05 gg im not meant to ride a 2t i rode the montesa on some of the same courses that i could not clean on my GG and cleaned on it . With fuel my bike weighs in at 164lbs I switch ,also im not always working on my bike i put gas in and ride .I feel the montesa is by far the best deal for the money they just dont fall apart. Its a HONDA
