Anyone know where I can buy a set of seals for the front caliper on my 2004 pro?

Graham, may I refer you to my previous reply.

Hi all, Does anyone know if a 1998 montesa 315R rear wheel will fit straight on a 2004 gas gas 250 pro? Cheers, John

I've just finished taking it apart and the shaft and bearing are indeed buggered! Thanks for the offer, I'll give you a shout if I get stuck

Well the gearbox was full of water, but I couldn't resist and bought it anyway! Fingers crossed a new waterpump seal will sort it... What's the best way to flush all the milky cr&p out? Is it just of matter of changing the oil a few times, or is there a better way?

Thanks Blocky! Fcuck Off Graham!

Hi all, I'm going to look at a 2004 250 pro tomorrow evening. Is there anything in particular I should look out for on these bikes? Any known issues with them? Thanks, John

No, I was hoping to avoid that if possible! In my experience, opening a crankcase is like opening a can of worms...

Hi all, How hard is it to change the crank seals on a '98 315? Can I do it with the engine in situ, or is it a crankcase splitting job? Thanks!

Is it the power or the snapiness of the clutch that's the problem? If it's the second then removing two of the clutch springs makes big difference.

I finally got around to trying this today. What a difference it made! It's much smoother and it didn't feel like the bike was constantly fighting me. Not only is it less on-off, but it's lighter too - I completed todays trial without a hint of my usual clutch-finger-fade Thanks very much Christoff, that's saved me shelling out a load of cash on a new clutch

Hi all, Does anyone know if the 315 clutch plates from Haven are any good? Will they stop my clutch acting like an on-off switch? Or would I be better off going or one of the other options - i.e. apico, mitani, CR250?

You have to be a member of Berkhamsted to practice at Nash Mills and Earl Shilton to practice at Earl Shilton. I don't think either club has any kind of storage. You could try leaving your bike, but it might not be there next time you go!

Keep trying the website, it's been going up and down like a yo-yo lately! Cambridge Matchless put on some excellent trials, but sadly they don't have any training grounds. The nearest training grounds I know of are Nash Mills to the south and Earl Shilton to the North - both are a long trek from Cambridge. Other nearby clubs are Nene Valley, and Peterborough, but again they don't have their own training grounds.
