Have a read of this post ..

If you look under the gear shift lever you will see the drain bolt.. Cheers

That's a very tidy piece of work.. I could do with a bash plate like that for my 348 !

what about Sandiford Offroad cant be too far away? Bury I think..

Camb trials centre had some for sale on offer a couple of weeks back I'd give them a call..

I always liked the look of the 348's and I got a later model one last year having never rode one before, its surprisingly well made for a bike of that age easy to work on as well.. I wouldn't worry too much about it snapping in half if you find a decent one I doubt you will loose money on it. I'm not bothered about it being competitive in twin shock trials I just bought it for the fun factor which it has in spades.

Thanks sportsawyer that's just what I was after ..

Hi All, Got the bike out of the van and noticed the bolt that holds the rear mudguard and base of the fuel tank is missing. I believe the part is not available does any know what size of bolt it is so I can source a replacement. Thanks all

Hi I don't know about repairing a tank but there are a couple of second hand 349 tanks on ebay, Off the later model 349s. (grey frame/red tank) Cheers Guy

very nice! If Honda wont build one make your own...

Until I see a new 2 stroke MX bike I reckon not... (unfortunately)

thanks oni nou I didn't realise that ..

Hi Does anyone know of a UK stockist of these ? http://mitani-ms.shop-pro.jp/?pid=106454034 Cheers B

Hi Neil That's defo a 349 (81 white wonder model) Cheers Guy

Would you pay 2k for this one? very nice was on ebay for a day or so but went quickly.. scroll to the bottom of the page http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Montesa-Honda-315R-2004-/351734187952?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=aquVXz2EvdZfD6JLbIz0%252FelYU1k%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

I've got a carbon tank as well and I'm in the same position cant decide whether to paint it or not ... Cheers

Hi Gazza, That's a great looking bike it looks like production model ... One question did you paint the mitani tank or does it have 4rt decals applied to it. Cheers B

Hi all Found the problem! the fan had cut through a couple of wires running to the rubber box attached to the left side of the bike, Glad it happened 10ft from the van not mile from the van on top of a moor.... Thanks for all your suggestions

Hi All, Had a look a the bike this morning and I'm getting no spark.. Could anyone provide an idiots guide as to how check the coil, pickup, stator etc I've tried a new plug is it a matter of replacing parts until I get a spark or is there some dark art I need to know about cheers

Thanks all for the suggestions I'll let you know how I get on...

Hi All, After spending an afternoon in the garage I was feeling really pleased with myself as I'd managed to bleed a spongy rear brake this was after trying various methods including syringes and reverse bleeding/regular bleeding covering myself with fluid etc etc.. I managed to get the job done after taking the back of the bike off and bleeding the master cylinder. Anyhow after putting everything back together I thought I'd start her up! usually a two kick affair from cold and one kick when hot! after ten kicks nought!! At that point I remembered last time I was out I was riding back to the van and the bike cut out as if it had run out of petrol though there was plenty of fuel in the tank. (had run fine all day up to that point) I've got a pass this weekend so I'm going to try and get the bike started just wondered what I should check? first thing I was going to look at was too see if there's a spark (not sure what I'll do if there isn't one!) then see if there's any gunk in the carb. After that I'm not sure what to check? and suggestions as to what I should look at mucho appreciated! Cheers all

Here you go not sure if they ship to UK though.. http://www.zonetrial.com/ArticleDetail.aspx?langue=F&Modele=Garde-boue+Ar+Montesa+2002&Id_Article=8333

Hey marky boy How did you get your 315 down to 68k? and how much did it cost?? Cheers B

My tuppence I'd leave as is as I dont think there are problems in that area. Wouldnt wont a nice bit of bling getting roughed up on rocks up either!

Hi I'd be interested in a billet clutch if you make a batch. Cheers Guy
