Only Five years in production and you want a complete new model? The costs have barely been amortized. In this economic climate? Sales are seriously down for all the marques. What they need to do is a cost reduction and make it more affordable. Maybe an update with a bigger bore motor. A 300 cc would be nice. It is still the only true clean trials engine. I don't see how they get the 2T past the Euro 3. Maybe an Electric Cota should be next.
Refer to your owners manual/parts book. If the middle 3 digits of a part number are NN2, NN3 or NN4 etc... then its a part that is specific to Montesa. Otherwise the part is a standard Honda part. Your are better off buying from Lewisport USA as they have the knowledge and support the sport.
HI,HAVE 05 4RT,Bike has developed a missfire when engine gets up to operating temp.Have changed plug several times no qure anyboby any suggestions please.
Prato got screwed in the Xispa deal... tell us more.
And of course...Penso que Shercos siguin molt amables de conduir!
I don't mean that he got screwed by Xispa, but rather that he got screwed when the French government prevented him from selling them. Didn't know that he could sell one model.
Maybe the confusion is that they are Catalans, and they speak a kind of Spanish French!
As for the graphics etc, the factory is quite close to Barcelona a city that is famous for design and style.
Don't let a Catalan hear you say that! It's a language.
Sherco is a French company. S.A.R.L
Anyone that has visited the "Factory" in Spain/Cataluna soon realises that this is not the main Factory. It is a small "trials only" assembly facility. Many parts are sourced in Spain so it could classify as "Made in Spain".
French or Spanish? Who cares? It's a good company. They have come a long way in a short time. Good on them.
Andreu Codina is long gone from Sherco.
Prato got screwed in the Xispa deal.
It was clever marketing to let people think that it was a Spanish trials bike, which could be argued. Just like the use of Bultaco brand name in the early years was clever marketing.
Paxau and his comp shop are Catalan. So R&D does happen there as well.
Just calmly inform the miserable git that according to the club bylaws that anyone that complains must automatically serve as organizer of the next event.
ELF HTX 740 may cost more but it is well worth it. It will last 2 to 3 times longer than any oil, making it cost effective. Changing it too often is a waste of money. Also the 4RT clutch loves it. PJ1 Clutch Tuner, for example, costs less but has has a much shorter life.
New Model From Montesa..... When?
in Montesa
