I had the link but it was a webpage to pay to download or upload documents. I couldnt find the PDF for the Montesa Manuals. What do montesa reccomend for Gearbox oil?

Does anyone know where I can acquire a manual or workshop manual for a 03 315 250CC Cota? Thanks in advance WRC

Thinking of purchasing an 04 250cc Montesa 315R. Does anyone have any tips on what to look out for when buying one of these. Any other pros and cons with this bike? Thanks in advance WRC

Apologies for me going off the topic here, but what does 315 mean with regards to the Monesa. Does it mean 315cc?

My advice..........stick with what the manufacturers manuals state........you wont go wrong!

Go onto the Sherco websites and you can download the manuals.........and tech info.........nothing to loose........but i use the oil they recommend. Its very good and the bike cleans out well

Hi What mix ratio are you running on, and what two stroke oil are you using?

Hello, When putting the wheel back on my sherco, how much tension should there be in the top part of the the chain? Thanks WRC

Yes drained it out and have put in a mix at 70:1................it clears out nice..............did a trial today and the bike was great. Cheers bud WRC

can you explain this further, i thought TTS was one of the best out there? The bike seemed to be sluggish, wasnt running right, a little rich at 1:60. I mixed it in with the blue stuff, hence thats why i'm asking the question to get the original oil.

Thanks for the help. Do you tend to use the smokeless/low smoke type, fully synthetic? Thanks

Hi just got a different bike and it has about just under a full tank of fuel. The mixture is blue in colour. Bit of a stupid question I know.........But would anyone know what this make of two stroke oil maybe? I want to stick with the same one as I found my bike does not take to TTS. Thanks in advance WRC

Picked up a Sherco 250 2003 today...........just a few questions. Any particular make of geabox oil to use? Do you tend to stick to a 50:1 premix for fuel or thin it down a bit more? Any other maintenance knowledge of the sherco would be much appreciated.

I'm thinking of trading in my current bike for another and just wanted some advice on a GAS GAS either 200 or 250. Could someone tell me the differences between a TXT and a PRO one. Also thinking of getting the bike between 2003 to 2006/7........any pros and cons? It maybe a stupid question but it would give me some idea on what to look for on buying a gas gas? Thanks WRC

Strewth ! Must of been Quick Fit at that price ??? No just a motorcylce firm, i wouldn't take it to a car tyre fitters!! For a tenner you cant argue they have all the equipment and thats the key , youd never do it with just tyre leavers. As i said earlier the sherco website has some good info, and you can buy the bead breaker aswell.

Yep Scorpa 3 is right there, if you dont have the right equipment like a bead breaker, it can be a struggle. If you do decide to have a go, check out the Sherco website and they have a maintenance manual showing an example how to fit a tyre for trials bikes. I had a new tyre fitted recently and cost ten pounds in labour. Just get onto a reputable motorcyle garage and they will sort it for you.

Thanks for all your help. Been looking at some of the Shercos and there is a good range of workshop manuals on the web, as compared to some other manufacturers which dont have many detailed manuals.

Good afternoon, A friend of mine is think of buying a trials bike, either a Sherco, Gas Gas or Beta with an engine size 200cc. Say approximately a 2001 version up to a 2005 model, price hasnt been decided yet. Please could anyone reccomend which would be the bike to go for out of these 3, in terms of maintenance, with any advatages or disadvantages. Thanks in advance. WRC

Scorpa's are known for sticking clutches. I use Motul 5100 10/40 fully synthetixc gearbox oil and found this ok. Just run the bike and select immediately from 1st to 2nd and third and the clutch will release.

I use the same oil as you, is it in a green bottle? On the back of the oil bottle it says 50:1 so based on a 5 litre jerry can so it works out as 100ml of two stroke oil to 5 litres.

With regard to the slow throttle you mentioned, where would this be installaed on my bike if there was one as my bike has been lacking power. Ive changed the plug and an trying to use process of elimination to get the power up. I'm also trying to adjust the throttle cable as there is some free play as I roll the throttle on, basically tightenting up the throttle cable above the carb. However the adjustment screw will only go so far which wont allow me to tighten the cable to a positive feel. Is there an adjstment screw inside the tp of the carb, would you know?

Thankyou

I'm in the UK. Wales. The trials tyres on my bike at the moment say tubed tyres. The valve has a locknut on the outside, obvliously being an inner tube there. If I was to buy a tubeless tyre what do i have to do, get a valve fitted at a tyre garage? What about the adjustment on the spokes will air escape hence do i have to stick to tubed tyres? Thankyou WRC What bike do you have? All these questions wouldn't be asked if you filled your profile out! Sorry pal. Will fill out rest of my details. Scorpa SY250 2002

The brighter coloured ones go tatty. Ive got the black Alpine Stars boots and they are brilliant and scruffs dont show, just wash of the dirt ,dry them well after use and rub off any dried mud etc . When dry and get a clean surface and apply some beeswax as it says in the manual. Another tip is dont wash with a pressure washer at high pressure, Ive know some do this and take the quality out of the boots.
