April 16, 201412 yr Can only get the bike to shift in 1st, 2nd...I'm sending a pic , of the bike in , neutral, are these alignments , correct??? Also sending pic of coil & condenser Any hints on where to buy......Thanks
April 16, 201412 yr Replace the condenser before buying a coil. Any single wire condenser will do. It does not have to be for Montesa. Google Southwest Montesa for parts in the states.
April 16, 201412 yr With the gearbox in neutral the dot on the selector drum gear should align with the line stamped into the selector quadrant. Check the selector pawls are undamaged. Damage to the pawls is quite common. The slot the pawls slide in is not symmetrical. Some fine tuning of the selector mechanism is possible by slackening the M6 nut shown to the right of the selector drum gear in your picture then rotating the eccentric to achieve the best selection. Tighten the M6 nut each time after adjusting the eccentric. Hope this helps.
April 17, 201412 yr You probably need the bike off the ground to spin the tranny to change gears. The cart before the horse. Get it running first. By the way you need to post in the correct forum. Montesa or twin shock. Nobody will come back to help on a 348 under USA. Good Luck.
