Reality is the TLR (Reflex) was a trail bike. It was never intended as a trials bike. It is worthless, but cool at the same time. This is the best thread on one. http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=562129 I may be in it, but a friend made it. I also ride with a guy that has 4 grand in one, it looks totally cool. I always beat him with my beater Cota 200. Why? The Montesa was a REAL trials bike. Have fun with it. I`ve hade three of them, and would buy another. ( Just for a trail bike)

The major updates were in 2004. The 2003 was a weird year. They messed with the frame as the rear was lighter and gave the bike too soft of power. 2003 was the worst year in my opinion. 2004 the bike was lightened almost ten lbs and they changed the internal transmission ratios.

You do not need a spanner, but it is the proper tool. Remove the air box. knock loose the locking nut and turn by hand.
-
Nice looking bike, not meant to be reved too hard. Basically a trials motor with a big tank. If you keep that in mind it is a great trail machine. Have fun.
-
Well back with the air cooled bikes we had no such animal. You would get more response with a plug reading, that is true piece of mind.

I have found my vacuum pump sits on the shelve as the long tube works the best. Give it a try, I laugh at the hours I used to spend doing it any other way.

You just need 3` of clear hose attached to the slave. Have the hose held straight up past the handle bar level. 5- 20 minute job. Bleeding does take patience.
-
Did you only change the master cyl. or did you do the clutch plates too.? Did you fill and prime before you attached the cylinder.
-
The sight glass lets you know you have oil, but is not an accurate measurement. Change often as it also lubes the mains. http://www.gasgasmotos.es/es/manuales/4.html

Yes you do have to split the motor. Been awhile for me too, so pay attention to the timing on the rotary intake. Also clean up the gearshift/kickstart shaft while you are at it.
-
You can foul a plug in minutes or less. If it is three months old not to worry. But on modern bikes correctly jetted they can last years.
-
No, and No. I imagine if you *******ized it real bad it would fit. The rotor would probably be the hardest.

Best video ever was Bou`s vid without the engine running. If you want crashes, see any world round video from the 90`s. Those boy`s crashed extremely hard!
-
Sounds like he lost the air screw and that is why his idle has always sucked. Cheap and easy fix. Almost any Honda two stroke had the same screw.

Beta`s leak for two reasons. You crash. Or you crash and bend the exhaust and break 007370900 000 the rubber mounts.

It`s one thing to be fairly good enough to even go to Europe to ride. It is quite another to give up what you know and embrace a new and exciting ( Some things not so exciting)life. Not only do you need talent, funding, determination and drive. You have to be fairly educated enough to be multi-lingual. Schrieber is the only one that actually liked going over and stayed for years. I think Pat has the talent, but living in a new country is not what most young Americans want to do.
-
Are you sure it is not just the floating front disc brake.
-
Pop the shields off. two stroke oil lubes the bearings of both mains.

It is good that you want to find a good dealer, which you should. Parts availability is good, but you will find most parts have to come from the source. Which is Rising Sun Imports. You will not find a good online source that I know of. A lot of the basic parts can be sourced from others online, such as RYP products. If the parts are back ordered try some of the UK sources. You really do not need much parts on a trials bike. Levers, brake pads and fork seals just about do it!

Results last year at TTC.

He has ridden over seas before.
-
You have adjusted it to where the piston does not fully release. That is why it pumps up.
-
( When you know that it is hissing down with rain so you go riding just to practice in the most slippy mud known to man.)
In the dry southwest we bring 5 gallon buckets to carry our water to make the mud to compete back east!

You would get more response posting in the Montesa section.
