The clutch arm shaft can stay in the cover when it comes off

Can't tell what went wrong with the rear guard from your photo

as to why it shift hard, what do you mean by shift hard? more detail needed

here is what mine looks like

Hi Michel

Its my guess that this Montesa is a ' Barn find' and has not been ridden for a few years ! In which case everything will be a bit stiff as lots of parts will need free-ing off, give all moving parts a good spray with 'WD40' or similar easing oil. Change gearbox and clutch oil when you service it.

Also Points may be stuck open or closed giving No Spark and also Carb internals will need a good clean/ replacement.

The Fender is in close proximity to the Muffler and if the bike was previously running a bit lean the the Muffler would be hotter than normal and could have melted the plastic!!!

My pic is in neutral ...can anyone tell me what's wrong????

You would get more response posting in the Montesa section.
