  5. 4Rt Spark Plug

    in Montesa

    Posted

    Hi Marty maybe not the plug? I have always used standard and like Dadof2 have always ridden away steadily until warm.

    The times mine have been difficult to start when hot (assumming that you are out of gear or have no clutch drag at all)

    it has been either too low an idle setting or slightly tight valve clearance.

    I have found it necessary to set valves exactly at the standard setting. Even at the tight end of the .02 range in the manual, it seems to have an effect on hot starting.

    Never thought about the valve clearance

    I havent checked it since fitting the 280 kit

    Must do that later

    Many thanks

    Hi Martyd I have an 06 4rt and have ridden it for about a year and loved it , it has a mitani tit pipe , s3 tit front pipe and a single programable body on it running a soft map and I found it ok . I them found a s3 280 kit on eBay £160 so it's now fitted !! Wow what a difference bike sounds awesome really deep tone , bottem end seems much smoother less snappy at low revs , at about half to three quater throttle it bites !!!! . I find if you plant your ass over the back gently feed it in it grips better than the standard bike did it's now running a beginner map , but I think the key is the ability to try a map that suits. Your style . I normaly ride easy / clubman so don't need extra power but it had to be done :)

    forgot to say am running 41 /9 gearing and I also have mitani clutch , I find I use second gear mostly only first in the tight bits

    Thanks looking like a 280 kit will be the one

    Will be hard work to try and find a used one like you !!!

    I'm on 9/42

    I have an s3 ti front pipe and a single map throttle body. Don't know what map is on it, whatever pidcocks supplied with their 280's.

    Thanks for the replies

    jj65 I'm a avg clubman

    Just fancied the bling factor more than anything

    I have just bought a 06repsol used only 3 times since new

    As you say a 2 stage throttle might be a first option

    Alougth a 300 cc kit is cheaper lol

    The temptation of all these upgradable parts is amazing !!

    Warby beta your 280 what else have you done?

    Exhausts etc?

    Thanks Men

    Thanks Shercoben do you no this from experience?

    jj65 is that right they run hot?

    The guy that has the kit said only on a long hard road run this happens

    Dont think i want to buy a rad aswell

    The 280cc kit seems to be ok?
