The bike is great on grippy stuff but spins up too easy on anything slippery. Any advice on adding base gaskets or preferably retarding ignition. Bike is as standard. Any help appreciated.

My lad has stripped clutch down to put new tophat in but got this silver coloured tapered washer left. Where does it go please. GAS GAS factory 2014 250 Any help welcome

Ive ordered a fresh one

zippy, it is indeed the selector shaft spring sorry was the spring. I'm hoping the circlip groove isn't damaged on the end of the shaft as the circlip had come off. Does anyone know if the shaft can be simply pulled out to replace it's a 2014 factory replica with the bolt and washer bearing retainer on the end of the shaft. Great news about the hole being ok.(maybe could have been finished better at the casting stage) Does the alloy kickstart positioning bush go on tapered edge downwards?

Any ideas whether this hole will cause an issue or not?

I think this may be the issue luckily no major damage.

Cheers for the rapid reply, I will venture out to the garage now and try and get it out.

the four mm allen bolt holding the basket on is very tight is it normal thread. I even bought a fresh allen key bit to not strip it. Thanks

Thanks Ill look at that first sounds very probably it

Kick does move piston but it does feel like something has jammed. The gear lever although floppy will engage gears if back wheel moved

Factory replica 14. Lad dropped my bike on gearlever and stopped bike straight away. No strange noises. It now has a gear lever that moves up and down with no restriction. The kickstart is also tight. I've took head off piston and barrel fine. I was thinking some of gear shaft broken and jammed it up some how. Any advice very welcome

Sorted now managed to get an alloy bar to lock internals, came sort straight away. Thanks for all the advice

Thanks illtry again tommorow

its to get the forks apart I should have mentioned that. I did try a cordless impact gun on the allen bolt and that just spun. Previously that's worked fine on other sets of forks. Itsas if it needs some sort of tubular spanner to go down the forks.

Hi having done rev3 sherco and gas gas before I thought I'd tackle the forkseal in 2018 factory 250. Icant get the allen key to stop spinning in one leg I'm guessing I need a tool to hold nut in tube. And other leg has red anodized nut and dont want to bugger it up. Any advise welcome thanks in advance.

Hi does anyone know what size copper exhaust gasket i need for my montesa 247s. both bikes need them as currently they have none. Any advice greatfully recieved. Thanks in advance

Thanks for all the advice reset timing, points and earth and its away!!

Thanks, ill check it tommorow if i have a suitable puller amongst the collection.

https://www.motorcycle-manual.com/montesa/ there is a basic free owners manual there. Id also love a workshop manual

HI, I've cleaned the carb and freed the slide which was sticking. Spark looks strong but appears to be flooding as its wet when i pull it out. It wasnt running well before i cleaned the carb, it seemed to kick back a bit and would start but only for a moment. I was thinking the woodruff key may have sheared. Any advice welcome.

I currently have a length of flexible steel hose joining a motocross tailpipe and normal bantam exhaust. I would like a middle silencer box to fit roughly where a traditional airbox would go. Any recommendations Any advice welcome

Stupid question, try without clutch pulled in. Mine doesnt engage with clutch in

Hi is this wired correctly as the fan wasn't working. Mapping is brown and yellow to black and yell/red. There are two multi plugs that both fit the other appears to come out of regulator and is red and black. Any help appreciated

pulled Woodruff key and replaced as matter of course , cleaned carb but not checked reed valves as yet. thanks for the help so far

Thanks for all the ideas I will check today or tomoz and post findings hopefully something simple like this
