Looks like you've got a decent buy.

Your missing the chain tensioner, they can be easily got from this guy http://www.inmotiontrials.com/

Also the front sprocket cover, can't remember if it was part of the flywheel cover or if it was a two halve cover, will have to check mine.

Also what i don't need to tell you the airbox, the original boxes are very hard to source.

Its worth having a read through this site here http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=es&u=http://nacho247.blogspot.com/&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dmontesa%2B242%2Bblogspot%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1173%26bih%3D584%26prmd%3Dimvns&sa=X&ei=PY99UPiNL6fB0gWkoYHADA&ved=0CEsQ7gEwBg theres plenty to read about on the 242

The front wheel is incorrect and the torque arm has been cobbled onto the front hub. It also looks like the torque arm bracket is broken off the fork leg.

Good luck with the bike

yes the casing should be a complete one piece one, they are good little bikes i have got three of them one i am doing up to ride and the others for spares

Front wheel might be wrong, but it might just work better than the original.

Thanks for the info..yeh thought the front wheel was a bit out of place, wont be first thing i change

as it seems to fit ok.

Ok , before strip down , where can i get hold of a full set of gaskets etc

And any info on where to locate parts ..new and old.

Im based in France but UK post no worries.

cheers steve
