February 19, 200818 yr Hi, could somebody help me out with a few quick q's? I need info on a 1975 Montesa cota 200, Fork oil quantity and grade, Correct fuel mixture, Crankcase quantity and grade?, Thankyou.
February 19, 200818 yr I certainly would discourage putting oil into the crankcase. As for the oil/gas ratio, that is more debated than who shot JKF. Let's just say that some oil is good.
February 19, 200818 yr Are you sure its a 1975 Cota 200? I don't think they came out until '80. In '75 it would have been a 175 or a 247. See the following link: http://www.southwestmontesa.com/montesa/years.htm I have a 200 and can get you the info that you need. Bob
February 19, 200818 yr Author Thanks for the speedy replys guys, bob pa usa could you give me the info for the 200, i will have to research and find out the correct year but could you give me answers for the 200 cota and we'll presume it's 1981+, just to clear up, what i meant by crankcase quantity was gearbox oil, thanks again bob pa usa, Steve
February 21, 200818 yr Thanks for the speedy replys guys, bob pa usa could you give me the info for the 200, i will have to research and find out the correct year but could you give me answers for the 200 cota and we'll presume it's 1981+, just to clear up, what i meant by crankcase quantity was gearbox oil, thanks again bob pa usa, Steve The manual lists the following: Fuel Mix - 32:1 Fork Oil - 200cc of "Hidrol-7", which I assume is 7wt Gearbox - 900cc of 10w30 Hope this helps. It's a good performer. Problems I've had have been gas tank leaks and the tranny popping out of gear. Adding a ball bearing to the detent spring at the top of the case helped a lot, but didn't eliminate the problem. Good luck. email me if you need anything else.
February 21, 200818 yr You're very welcome. I checked my records, and found that I settled on 15 wt in my forks, which seems to work fine, so you would probably find 7 wt to be too light. I weigh 165 lbs. Bob
