New to me Montesa 4rt 250 owner

Featured Replies

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I've been riding on and off road since the 90s and recently went on a trials day and was hooked within minutes. After a bit of research and being a life long honda guy I picked up a used 2007 250 montesa 4rt. I love the bike but I have a question re the number of clutch plates. The manual says 6 friction and 5 steel.  When I search online I'm seeing some clutch packs with 7 friction and 6 steel that apparently fits my bike.

It needs a new clutch as has been sitting for years,when I stripped the clutch the friction material started to crumble. So is it 6 friction and 5 steel as per the manual or am I missing something.  Thanks 

Yes 5 steel & 6 friction (paper/cork) plates

the apico kit with dimpled plates might be the way to go if you want a more progressive feel to your clutch

Full parts lists with exploded diagrams and manuals can be found on Line if you google 

brill for checking out what’s needed and also seeing part numbers from latest models if you want to upgrade parts👍👍

Thanks for your responses. I went ahead and fitted the 5 dimpled steel and 6 friction plates, changed the oil (atf) and the clutch works great. I emailed the seller who responded saying he was not aware there was a discrepancy in the amount of plates required. Anyhow, all is well.
