Last simple thing - did you check bank angle removal link? Can’t remember if you said you had ?

Yep think Richard is very genuine and an enthusiast so glad He is able to run a business that supports those with older bikes. You will fund lots of help and advice for the 315 on the Montesa forum as the bike was popular and competitive and a lot of parts carry over to the 4rt or the 4rt Parts can be used as a upgrade

From past postings

I’m sure Richard Allen was selling a set recently

Dunno - never had one - just do it by ear and then a bit more for good luck ? I probably run mine higher to minimise any chance of the famous four stroke cough

If it seems it’s reading twice as fast as it should then set at 925 rpm

You would like to think so but as you are still having issues would double check just to be 100%

Just been back through your posts You said a lanyard fitted just before you bought it - is it a genuine mont one? Maybe fit a kill button for a while instead Did you check how the bank angle sensor had been linked out ? cheers

Rear end in firs -if you do a nose wheelie type technique while at the side of the bike -i,e grab the front brake and swing the back up with your hand it surprising how far you can lift or get the back wheel to travel. Much easier than just a dead lift. Once back wheel seated - hand full of front brake and grab the spokes to lift in the front To Remove drag back wheel out - then front brake and hand full of spokes on the front wheel

Would imagine fan noise is a function of air flow required for effective cooling. air flow is a function of diameter and speed - as diameter is going to be fixed by the space available not sure what alternative are going to be available that give same air flow ? Suppose if you live in a much cooler environment then lower throughout would be ok. i guess some fan blade designs maybe quieter but seems a lot of effort and cost for no performance gain - £2 ear plugs cheaper ???

Good news you can grin even more now ??

Ears - had them since birth ?? i run mine as fast as I can cope with .- probably a bit higher than 1800 but reckon better to slip the clutch than stall better too fast than too slow ?? If you accept the faster tick over and then stop blipping throttle when Riding at slow speed and use clutch more progressive the whole thing works better

turn tick over up -its free to try? Its a “an as new bike” but has bigger rad = Hi, I’ve just been getting a 2018 repsol which is practically new. - maybe fan is hitting rad when it gets warm - The fan motor is then trying to turn but drawing more current than it should - voltage maybe dropping -especially with low tick over meaning the remaining electrical system are struggling for power. Check fan can spin free when warm also

No Got one of those new fangled things called a pocket

No but if I knew I was riding cold streams all day I wound probably set slightly higher at the start of a trial. likewise wouldn’t park the bike in a stream then adjust pressures - Same if I had just done a bit of roadwork

its surprising how the pressure can change from day to day or even getting the bike out of a cold van then leaving it an hour on a spring day while you sign on etc. I am a bit OCD with pressure but run 4 psi back and 5.5 front - running X lights. - mainly rocks and stream round here I will check a few time before the start of a trial to get a "normalised " reading - don park your bike in the sun as black tyres soon warm up. I will normally check again after the first lap of a multi lap trial to confirm no change.

Special tool and a big oversize lump hammer ?? made similar but have a collar that slides on for install . makes job dead easy

Stood my mower up in the shed to save space - some oil must of ran into the exhaust. took me half the lawn before I could see the neighbours again due to plumes of blue smoke - revenge for their barbecues anyway. if this can happen to a small 4 stroke engine then imagine too much 2t oil maybe clean exhaust front pipe out, fresh petrol - a good 2t oil - think I used to use the Castro’s fully synthetic stuff from Halfords etc and give it a good run - so long as nothing is knocking. maybe clean carb out to make sure mixture is good - the early ones where prone to getting much in - think they work differently on pilot jet - air bled not fuel or vice a versa best of luck

Might be stamped on the barrel - above the gearbox sprocket - seem to ring a bell. Does the bore look worn - damaged - might just need rings . If its just smoking and blowing out oil are you just putting too much into the fuel - is it sounding rough or down on power. If oil mix is ok check crank seals to make sure its not drawing oil in from there

As an ACU coach we all need to be first aid trained. we have cover at our british champ round. we have first aid kit at our trials lit is probably true that not many events need an ambulance etc and when they do it can often be as described above needing a full turn out - but how many riders call into casualty on there way home or the next day - would suggest that number is significantly bigger

I think the current ACU stance was based upon 1 hr local exercise. No unnecessary travel, no groups if more than 2 or 3 etc. The discussion in this post are about what happens next to which the ACU I believe have not yet commented

Never tried dimpled plates but never had an issue with the std clutch set up. every newer model seems better than previous so you may find 2018 is ok but not sure if any parts are changed. 300rr has a different combination of plates to the 260s

Or decide if it’s stop allowed, no stop, eligible pre 65, how many classes are needed etc ???

On line entry, make your own number plate at home, start at intervals , observers boards not punch cards. Cards are put in plastics bags and Results not collated for 3 days. Observer stays at least 2 m from section . Anybody watching keeps 2m distance, queuing is spaced out , we all walk sections 2m apart all work until we get back to the car park and stand round talking or trying each other’s bikes or someone gets hurt and we need first aid/ ambulance etc

Saaf Wales , or mid or north ??
