October 11, 200718 yr I have a montesa honda 349 approx 1982 with gearbox problems. Does anyone know of any good montesa mechanics that would deal with this type of engine.
October 11, 200718 yr What country are you in? If your here in the states Mike Komer at www.tryalsshop.com would be the one to go to. In uk? I will let someone else handle that.... --Biff
October 12, 200718 yr Howdy, If the problem is a loose or non engaging shifter this is a common problem and easly fixed under the side cover. The only Honda part on the bike is the front brake (If it is tapered) so the dam thing will stop. Southwest Montesa will be glad to fix you up. Tesamon
October 16, 200718 yr Author Sorry should have said i am in the UK. The gearbox goes into first and neutral and one other high gear I am not sure which probably fifth or sixth. I have taken the cover off the primary side and it all looks ok the gear shift mechanism looks fine and seems to operate. Is there a certain way to set it up? Splitting the engine is way beyond my capabillities but I can`t think what is wrong with it. Everyone seems very reluctant to have a look at it as it is an old bike. Help!!!!!!!!
