Hi ive recently fitted some bar risers to my 315 and it feels much better than stock, my problem now is that the throttle cable is about 25mm too short, can anyone tell me where i can get a longer throttle cable from? or any other ideas? ive tried routing the cable every possible way but its just not going to work.

Are they a direct bolt on item or will I need to do some modification to the bike or carb?

just sent you a PM mate

hi ive just stripped the tank off my mont to give it a good service, and ive notice there are 2 pipes coming out of the left spar of the frame, one pipe goes just under the reed block and the other one isnt connected to anything. the only nipple i can see that it could possibly connect to is one in the generator housing? is this correct or am i blind and missing something? haha

while on with the carb subject ive heard of some people changing the carb for a Keihin carb, is this correct? if so does anyone know what the carb model number is and if it is worth doing?

Hi larry to be honest im not 100% sure what had caused it, when i stripped it it had had water in the crank case at some point, but the idiot i bought the bike from had tried to cover it all up by filling the crank case with old engine oil, and filed the barrel and piston smoth where it had siezed and basically tried shafting me. believe it or not that sounded sweet when i went to view the bike it just smoked a bit. it wasnt until i rode it for the first time it burnt all the old oil off and sounded like it was going to throw a rod any monute. shes all healthy now though had a complete rebuild with new everything. well worth the hassle best trials bike ive owned.

Hi ive been out on my mont today and noticed its started to hunt on tick over, it starts first or second kick every time and seams to have bags of power and runs great, but 2 people have said to me today that the ignition timing is out when they were sat at the side of my bike when on tick over. can the timing be adjusted on a 315? if so how do i set it? Thanks in advance Rich

i had the same issues when i rebuilt my monty motor, i bought a complete piston and barrel kit from feetup trials and it wasnt expensive, he does the barrels on an exchange basis, so take or post your barrel with piton to him and he will exchange it for a new/replated barrel with new piston, rings and small end with gaskets and anything else you may need for the build. if you need any advice on building give me a pm im more than happy to help you out where ever possible.

this was my engine when i took the side casing off,

I'll pm you jrsunt

I had the exact same issue with mine, the main bearings were completely shot, bought everything from feet up I think it cost about £350-£400 including new barre.l

Hi everyone, I've come from riding a beta Rev 3 to my montesa 315r and it's the best move ever. The only issue seams to be the riding possition, the rev3 had loads of room as I'm quite tall, and the montesa seams shorter and lower, my first thought was handlebar riser blocks but due to the design of the top yoke this would make the problem worse. My question is has anyone else had a similar problem? If so what did you do to rectify this? Are higher bars a good option?

its £190 though, i dont wanna spend that much a drop it on a rock, but thanks for the help

hi everyone my silencer on my 2002 Monty 315 has seen better days and im looking at getting either a new one or a good second had one, can anyone recommend anyone who is likely to have one? or is there any aftermarket replacements that is still as quiet as the stock silencer? thanks rich

This is the oil I've put in mine and it has improved the clutch from the ATF but it still drags, http://www.castrolmoto.com/en/products/mtx_part_synth.php
