This throttle is to light, it almost feels like there is no spring in the carb. I have had a couple of other riders feel how light the throttle is and they all say the same, wow that is realy light.
Changed the gearbox oil to some Putoline Nano 75w has transformed the clutch action on the bike,also the 10/42 gearing is perfect. Done some nice big hill climbs yesterday and plodded about for about 2.5 hours.
The bike was perfect nice and smooth but plenty of power when needed glad i got one.
Afraid I beg to differ iv just totally revamped my 315,new piston,rings small end, gudgeon pin,circlips,gaskets etc all from craigs. Parts are easily obtainable,and the 315 is a cracking bike imo.
I agree the Montesa 315 is a cracking bike that's why i was going to get one. I am only going on what the Honda dealer told me,he said the piston ring problem has only started being a problem in the last few months. He also said something about Honda only make spares until 10 years after the new models are launched.
If I can find out for sure there is no problem with parts, I will buy one as I am looking for another bike for my son.
I would steer away from Montesa 315 as they are a very good bike but spares are getting hard to find, I was going to get one so i rang a Honda dealer just to ask about spares, he told me that piston rings are no longer available for them, they have 3 rings and the top ring is a special one that was only made for that engine and is no longer available. He advised me to get a Beta,Sherco,or Gas Gas as parts for these bikes are still available.
I got a very good condition road reg 2007 Beta 250 Rev3 for £1500 its ideal for what I want.
Had a good day today, got 10 sections at the little place I went to practice had a good ride on all of them, its ideal for someone who has not ridden in years..
Well that didn't go as bad as i expected, wife is a bit naffed off as she come to watch me and take the p**s, but had to admit i didn't ride to bad. I even cleaned some wet slippery crossed over logs . Roll on next weekend
