Montesa Cota 200

Featured Replies

Hi is any good cutting the case away round the gearbox sprocket to help with mud buildup round chain.thanks.

Fit chain tubes, rather than cutting casing, prevents chain jumping sprocket also

Casing cut away is a good idea. Done it on all my Mont twin shocks since the early 80s. If you take care with stitch drilling the shape 1st it's a doddle or I can do it for you no problem. I do away with the lower tube and fit a proper spring loaded tensioner. You still need the top tube to keep the crud off the chain to take the place of a standard style chain guard but trust me a plastic tube will NOT stop the chain wrapping round the front sprocket if it snaps or comes off the rear. I can show you another trick to stop that if you want. Can email pics of mine if you want.

Sorry Sprite125
