srap Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Has anyone got (or knows where I can download) a manual for a Montesa Cota 172. My brother has managed to get his hands on a 'barn find' and is looking to do the thing up and get out on it for some events. Any help would be much appreciated.

belldane Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Try southwestmontesa.com but check the condition of the kick starter shaft before you start spending money. If it has snapped, which was a very common problem with that model, you will be very hard pressed to find another. They are as rare as rocking horse poo.

srap Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Thanks for the info and for the tip about the kickstart shaft! I'll check it out and see where to go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty172 Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Apart from southwest, did you or anyone end up having any luck with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29markt Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Hi, please see link for the parts manual for the 172, I will look and see if I can find the Owners manual. If the shaft requires replacing, I can put you in contact with a company in Spain that has them in stock.

monty172 Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Thanks Mark, that's brilliant. I'll see what you come back with re: owners manual before I pay someone daft money for a burnt cd. The shaft on mine is all good, however it's bound to let go at some point. Be good to know the Spanish company you have in mind to see what a spare is worth. Thanks again. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29markt Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Hi, I only have the manual in French, but have attached anyway, as regards the shaft, please see link, part shown is for the 74 Cota, but the part numbers are the same for the 74/172. http://www.vallmoto.com/tiendas/en/montesa-cota-74/2004-product-2004.html?search_query=2865&results=6 Hope this helps, Regards, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
