I'm installing custom Ohlins tonight

Hi, thanks for the repsonse. It was your video on the Reiger that made me aware of the tooling. I wish I had seen and watched it first. I had to make an oil bleed setup which was not a problem but hit the wall with the nitro setup. The Reiger on my One R has rebound adjust only but it does have the clevis. I have an R16V off of a 2018 Montesa 4rt which is spherical end piece. I read that the Reiger B40 can work on my bike with a change in linkage so I am willing to do that if there is another shock that will work. Is the R16v worth messing with? I don;t have a problem with the base Ohlins as I dealt with them for years and there is a guy here in the states that has a pretty hot setup on those. But I will email you about the tooling. I hate having people work on my stuff if its something I can do so if its possible to obtain any of those tools that would be awesome.

So I have a 2021 300 OneRE with a Reiger shock. Thing actually works pretty decent. The other night I decided to service it and seeing I owned a suspension business for 20 years I saw no problem in just digging into it. Wrong. It needs a specialized fitting to charge the nitrogen which seems to be impossible to obtain. Does anyone have access to this and any other tools needed? Or.....does anyone know what other shocks fit on it without any issue? I heard Ohlins once came on them but I haven't been able to confirm that. I can get a brand new Ohlins off of the 2020 Gas Gas for a pretty cheap price and it seems as though so many of the bikes share the same dimensions. But this just speculation. Has anyone put any other shock on a TRS?

Yeah, you are right. I did some research on that. But I have been frustrated with how the battery cables come out and in through the frame. Concerned I would have the same problem KRJ had. They fold and bind up. But, the 2023 (22?) have a revised cable routing. I'm glad I am not the only one who thinks the current way sucks. They route them down right under either the lower clamps under the steering stem. They of course run a new clamp that is beveled to not dig into the cables and then goes through a guide that holds them in place. This pretty much eliminates and binding. I have the guide coming and hopefully I can make it work on my 21. I also have the charging cable coming as well. Terribly expensive they are. both totally an insane $30.01 USD.

Well I'm glad I found this thread. I have a 21 300 One RE, bought it about a year ago. The first thing I did (or tried to do) was to put a battery charger pigtail on it, just like I do with all of my other E-start bikes. So I pulled the battery box apart and discovered the battery pack and relay. But the pack did not have posts like a normal battery. Side note; officially the plastic box is part of the battery. I called the importer to see if he had any suggestions. He said I didn't need to charge it and it was impossible to do anyway. So I searched for a replacement. I found an Anti-Gravity battery that was soooo very close to fitting in the box. No go. Long story short, I pretty much destroyed the box and battery itself so I ordered a new one. $300 But all was not lost. I was determined to make this work. Since I butchered up the old box I could use it as a templet on how to run wires to the battery for the charger. The first attempt didn't work. I mean I got the wires in place but it didn't charge. I couldn't figure out why. Then I realized the relay was there and needed to be bypassed. This made a tight fit even tighter. Using the old box I carefully measured where to drill the holes needed and to check wire clearances. A little "finesse" in cramming the wires in there but it worked. I have a bullet connectors on both the positive cable and negative. I bought an extra pigtail and made matching connections. Now i can use my lithium charger anytime its needed. I am going to find some better, smaller connectors but the TRS uses some seriously thick wires for this. I want to look into replacing those as well if possible. I will take a couple of pics later

Well I know I'm coming in late to this thread but it asks exactly what I want to know. I always put pigtails on my bikes for easy charging. So I pulled the headlight assembly off last night, where the battery is stored and its a completely different battery than I was expecting. It did say its a LifePo4 like all the rest but it looked like several C or D batteries stuck together. There are no terminals on top as you would expect. I'm going to follow the wires down under the tank and see if there is a spot to tap into. Or, I will check to see if Firepower or Anti-gravity makes a replacement for it. Works just fine but I like to be safe.

Absolutely certain

I keep reading that, but I pulled off the motor, checked the oil, reinstalled the motor. Runs backwards. Total time, 10 minutes?

Ok, but what? The starter only goes on one way

The wires are in the exact place as they were before. The way its set up its impossible to swap them. This is a procedure I have done numerous times without issue. Reversed polarity sounds logical except for how it happened.

I have a 2018 Montesa 300rr with the S3 electric start kit. Best investment ever. However the one thing I don't like about it is that I have to pull the starter motor off to check the motor oil. I've got it down to a science so its not a big deal/ Until tonight. I went to check the oil (good thing I did, it was low) so I started it up according to the manual to warm it up. I used the estart. No issues. Put the starter motor back on like normal, hit the button and it just spins, wont engage the flywheel. After a bunch of rooting around I figured out that the starter is spinning backwards. Anyone have any idea why it would do this? Everything is hooked up properly, just as it came apart. Thanks

Thanks for the info. I did find a guy who says he can build one as well, just need to give him the measurements off the stock one.

Hi, my biggest question is....where did you find an Ohlins? I've looked everywhere.

Hopefully I will be moving to the Boise area next year and will be bringing my 300 Evo

Hey thanks for the replys, been away from the computer. Yes I know the 40:1 needs to go. Manual says 60:1 but I thought some else also told me 80:1 which I have no problem doing. I was planning on trying the mix before jetting but it definitely pings off the bottom so I might look at the 48 pilot. As for oil, I prefer Crisco
