  2. Is it a conversion from loose ball bearings to tapered roller bearings you have fitted?? If so I wonder if there is a kit for my Cota 200?? Ian

    Carb for M80

    I have a Mikuni on my Mont and the only downside is the "Beta effect" it likes to spill fuel out like a Beta, Ive set the float height as I dare as well!

    225 kit

    Just fitted the 225 kit for a friend, all seems fine, the bike is much livelier now and ready for a serious test.......Scott!! One question, head bolts cut to length or tap the cylinder deeper? I cut mine shorter but it only leaves about 6 - 8mm of thread in use. It looked like the holes in the cylinder were drilled quite deep and would thread a bit further down but I has the cylinder on the bike and didn't want to risk it!! Ian

    225 kit

    Hows the 225 conversion gone? I will be doing one soon!! Did you change the gearing? Thanks Ian
  7. Push the plastic sleeve down that sits on top of the spring and then you can see the lock nut holding the cap on, quicky slip an 18mm (?) spanner on it and it will hold the spring in position while you loosen the cap. You should slip once or twice and nip your hand between the plastic spacer and the fork cap...ouch!! Ian
  8. Thanks Gordon, I was focussed on ally round bar!!!!! Great technical reasoning Michael, I was after making something neater than the original rather than saving weight and my theory was its the same size as my GasGas spindle so it must be OK!!

  10. Thanks, Will try and find some, cant see any on ebay though. Ian
  11. Looking to make a new back wheel spindle for my Cota 200 to replace the old rusty thing!! And was wondering if anyone new which grade of aluminium is best?, I plan to copy my Gas Gas pro spindle bit a bit longer. Thanks Ian
  12. If you want to replace ALL of the oil in the rebound side you need to take the cartridge apart and refil it with oil separately, its a messy job but at least you have new oil in the part that matters.
  13. Is the 3 Day 23rd to 25th this year? She's talking holidays!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    pitted forks

    I used some Honda VT ? 125 legs on my montesa 200 35mm dia but a bit longer so I had to cut to length then bore out 100mm in from the bottom and turn a circlip groove. I am lucky as I could do it myself but it all depends what the Fantic forks are like.
  17. Looking for a replacement shock bearing for my 09 pro, dealer price is

    bits for shock

    On different note....they have a shock bearing for an 02 to 10 pro for 21 euros they are over
  19. I have now stipped down my "new" Cota, the crankcase is stamped 28 H (it must be the Honda version) but it has a 200 barrell fitted 64.25mm bore! the frame is also a 29H so it looks like some one has fitted a 123 bottom end into a 200. So it looks like a 200 top end willl go on a 123. So I do have a spare 200 barrell, piston and head I could let you have for a fee!!! its 0.25 oversize but I think it realy needs a re bore, jarred at SW Montesa has 0.5 pistons but they are quite expensive!

    Gear Lever

    What you need is the thinner plastic spacer from GasGasUK I think its an S3 one? I had the same problem on my 06 250, when I got my 09 I bought the new spacer and it came much thinner and now the standard lever fots on almost all of the way
  21. Bearings and seals are cheaper from bearing traders such as simply bearings or your local bearing stockist, remember main bearings are normaly C3 clearance and seals should be viton
  22. Hi, I am rebuilding a Cota 200 and have just bought another for spares, now Ive got it home I see its a 123!!! 28M. I will be stripping it down soon so I will look to see if the barrels are interchangeable Ian
  23. Try kevin breedon racing at www.kevinbreedonracing.co.uk He sorted one out for my Cota 200 Ian
