Cota 200 Questions

Featured Replies

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.

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.

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.

Great, thankyou.

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.
