Stock bike has 1 valve stem plus 1 rim lock, the front rim lock is critical to keep the tire from sliding on the rim as a result of hard braking and the low tire pressure we typically run on trials bikes. If the valve stem goes crooked your rim lock was not tight enough, front wheel stem will always go crooked in the direction of braking. If the rim lock has a cap on it somebody just put it on there as spare part. If you actually did find 2 air valves on one tire and one is a smaller valve type, you likely have a Tubliss (run flat) tube installed and that's a little more complicated and not stock equipment.

Post up a picture of this rare motorcycle.

Pre 1999 Montesa Cota 315R came fitted with Paioli forks and the service manual covers their service in great detail 👍

Close; it's because the light weight, right-handed, senior citizen type rider tried using their left leg to start the silly backwards bike and found they simply could not start it.

The clutch cable is suppose to have a clevis on it where yours has a chain master link, your cable repair makes the cable too short, plus the bike will never work as good as with a new and correct cable installed, there is a visible kink in the one you have. Easy enough to find pictures on the net showing the correct clevis setup.

Interesting the slots between the pad contact surfaces appear directional, do the slots go in the opposite direction on the other side or is the disc basically shaped like an impeller? If the pads operate directionally that might make a huge difference depending on how it is assembled.

I suspect it is a steel shank sole you are looking for and I think that is something found in enduro and MX boots but not so much in trials specific boots.

Can only buy the correct plug as a Honda replacement part in Canada and Honda dealers don't sell that bike here now 😐 NGK does not import it here. Parts are very expensive when your closest supplier is 2000km away and almost nobody owns one 😎 but if price is no object they sure do work good.

👍 Even more wily Now if they can just sell the spark plugs for under 20$ 👍

So Wasted it is 😎

If I was using a wasted spark ignition (ignition pick-up located on the crankshaft and not on the valve drive which rotates at half crank speed) and needed to apply a fuel injection cycle only on the intake stroke 🤔 I think I would make the fuel circuit dependent on high vacuum pressure being present at the throttle body. Poor starting was always the result of improper valve clearance on all five of the 4RT's I owned.

Sounds like a standard part if the bike was being sold to somebody with a license restriction and the intention to plate it as such. Pull that out and you will have a lot more power.

Your TrumpTax just did impact you, before this era I would have just mailed you the spare parts for free and ate the postage, now I don't want to.

What if I give him a 4000% discount 🤔

Poor fella lives in the USA the tariffs he would need to pay would be astronomical and impossible to calculate.
