Just seen the 2005 Scorpa, appears to be no change apart from silver painted frame & different graphics.
Not sure about engine.
-
That's going too far, you would need some fork protector protectors to stop THEM getting scratched!
-
It's pretty unlikely to be fuel related.
Like outlaw Dave said, take the carb off and give it a PROPER clean out.
Use compressed air to blast out all the jets.
-
520 mono!
That must have been some beast!
-
I watched a bloke a couple of weeks ago trying to ride one, it looked a real handful, breaking traction everywhere, i think you have to be on the ball with your throttle control to get the best out of it, i would say stay well clear unless you are a half decent rider, it won't make the average Joe any better.

Dog turds are the way to go for "on the spot" repairs.
Then when you get home, fix the hole from the inside using a heavy duty patch, after cleaning the inside of the tyre thoroughly with thinners.
This method never fails, have used it many times as a permanent repair on tubeless tyres.

Front to back?
Your bike may have a a serious problem if you can move your forks forwards and backwards!
-
No, conventional forks are stiffer, for the reasons mentioned in the previous posts.
-
If that's the case, then the aircooled monoshock TLR250R was first in the '80s (not the UK twinshock), followed by the RTL250.
Both had full size 250 engines.
-
That is one bizarre front pipe!
-
It's not just the back mudguard (although it is bad) somehow the whole bike just doesn't look right, it's not pleasing to the eye, there's something about it's proportions that makes it look......UGLY!
That may not matter to a lot of folks but i couldn't live with it.
But hey, at least we have a choice.
-
Ha Ha, early '90's Gas Gasses got lighter every time you rode the bloody things.
-
I used to own a couple of Aprilia's, as far as i know, they went out of production in 1994, this being the orange model.
Very well made machines with good build quality but quite big compared to the Gas Gas, Beta etc.
Those were the days!
-
Yeah that would be an interesting scenario, i have heard it said that all Montesa/Honda riders will be 4 stroke mounted next year but i'm not so sure myself. Although it would be a bad public relations exercise if one of their top riders rode a discontinued model!
-
I got one from a local car accessories shop, just bolts on to the bars and buzzes when you hit the button.
-
All the one's i've seen have alloy rims, they are probably polished alloy.
-
TLR 250 forks also have a waisted profile.
-
You are asking us to tell you if YOU prefer 2 stroke or 4 stroke?
How can anyone give their views on strengths/weaknesses on bikes which haven't even been built yet?
There isn't even a Mont 4 stroke in the country!!
-
207cc is for the TL125, the TLR200 should have 295cc according to the Honda workshop manual.
And don't use ATF, use proper suspension fluid.
-
It's par for the course for some people on here
-
Just ignore any e-mails like this one, I had a similar one sent to me a week ago, and i don't even have a bike for sale!
-
I think rising sun imports meant to say "Hoerbiger" clutch friction material.
-
I think you paid about $200 over the odds for those!
-
What about this scenario......
The cota 315 has finished production, there is now no more 2 stroke montesa's.
Sales of the new 4 stroke bomb dramatically as people don't buy them because:
1. They are too expensive
2. Nobody wants to buy the first run of a new unproven model
3. They don't have the power/user friendliness of the 2 strokes
4. They are difficult/costly to maintain etc..............
As montesa don't make any other type of motorcycle, (even a 125/200 for the kids) they have no other source of income, therefore having only sold a handfull of the 4 stroke bikes they end up in serious financial trouble.
Surely it is a seriously risky gamble NOT to have a 2 stroke alongside the new bike because the F.I.M. could just as easily turn round and allow cleaner 2 strokes to continue.
What do you think?
