Not really interested in bling and spray jobs, but I do like the idea of whats good to alter/ easier to work on.

A friend of mine is thinking of trying to sort his a bit what would peps suggest??

Heard a sherco rear brake is good, perce said you need a bashplate, anything else worth the effort?

Mr Dabster

I thought you were a gas gas man? So why would you be interested in 4rt modifications, are you going to the dark side?

Never mind that - I'm just stunned that Dabster has a friend

I am a friend of Mr Dabster! It's not my 4RT he's talking about so that makes at least two friends he's got then!

As you well know Boyd I am happy to give advice to anyone, how much use it is is another matter!

well done at the scott by the way.

What year?

as Perce says, sump shields are useless as are footrests some say hangers bend too easily too but depends on how much rockery you ride.

I like to put higher bars on i find the standard ones a little low

I left the gearing standard and the clutch and i find both are fine.

Start from cold no throttle and let warm up start warm no throttle, start warm in gear a touch of throttle. Decent gearbox oil is a good mod too.

As soon as you get it, err sorry as soon as your friend gets his change the bolts on the front disc guard for hex heads

Thanks.

Will tell him about the bolts.

Are hangers rear set?

What year?

Think he's going for an 07 or 08 apparently.

(Good deals on 07's)

As above, the year of the bike makes a difference as Montesa have improved things.

All years - fit a VMar type chain guard on the front sprocket, this stops a jumped chain from bunching up then smashing the timing cover (Windlestone how did you forget that???) Best

can't believe i forgot about the v mar chain guard, after smashing the case and pushing back to the car.Thanks Gordon.

I haven't put rear set footrest hangers on, as i think it will put more pressure on my wrists, back. Which was the whole point of higher bars , to stop arm pump. I put thicker grips on too but thats just personal preference

Mind, the hot oil running back over your left boot gave it a good waterproofing

V-mar also makes an excellent snail cam, more adjustment than stock!

How can your 'friend' be Wiggys water boy on a montesa?
