I am planning on a 2001 Montesa next month, im planning to get the following things to smarten it up:

Keihin Carb.

Aktive Reeds,

Straight tube for silencer,

Hebo Bars,

Hebo levers,

Seal Protectors,

Carbon Fork Guards,

Talon Sprockets,

Iris chain

Can you guys think of anything else i should get??

Hey Rev,

Hebo Bars? Is it worth it? The bars wont improve the bike, I personally dont think its worth it.

get a $h!t load of anodised bolts and put them allover your bike

they look great got them on my bike

Go for the jitsie kevlar fork guards, they are thick and the quality is great.

The carb, reeeds and straight tube sound like a good idea, but do you really need the rest. Why not save yourself some money and just replace the levers, bars, chain and sprockets when the originals wear out/ break!

You'll probably need to do the Clutch plates and Gear Oil. So keep

Ill probably just get the reeds, carb and straight tube then,

what do you mean by a real handful, will it be really torquey, and pull of my arms, will the boyesen reeds not sharpen up the bottom end, and so does the keihin carb, i thought that the carb to sharpen up the bottom and tha active rreds to sharpen up top???

Cheers

Chris

I'd try the straight tube first, with standard carb and reeds.

Personally I'd then fit Boyesens with the standard carb. Makes for a strong bottom end and and will rev out with plenty of power.

The Haven porting would be next as it is spot on, didn't Wonder Boy get his motor done ?

There's no doubt that the Keihin and Active's will make a very powerful motor. But if its pulling your arms off it might be a bit more difficult to ride

Its not all about power, I had a 280 conversion and it was very hard to ride, even a couple of local Experts preferred their 'stock' 315s to it.

Ask the Sandiford Montesa riders (Boyd or jrsunt) what carbs/reeds they use ?

Hi Guys

Can you tell me what effect the straight exhaust tube has?
