hellow everyone, i simply wanted to know if anyone knows if there are any comoon problems to these bikes? is there anything i should look for on these bikes? i ve seen GG from 2007 and newer with broken swing arms,

ahhh, well both the plated leg and the bottom tube were crushed, the dust seal poped out but the lock that keeps the plated leg and oil in the leg broke, I'm not sure I can fit another lock or any new parts in there. However I just took a look at it a while ago, and a will try it, might be worth, cause the new leg should be arround 600$ : s thank you once again eiaprilia

mmmm what a shame, it took me a lot of time to get this bike, then a whole lot to tune it up!!! i used for 2 months on sundays only and lend it and get it back wrecked.... -.- now im looking for a new, or used LEFT SHOWA LEG, from the front suspension. for a 2001 COTA 315R. Anyone has any ideas?, i know sandifords should sale those, but i just havent hav the time to find it... such a long catalog, and i dont know how to look for the entire part. :/ appreciate any coments, and/or help by the way, will it be worth to fix it,, or should i move on to another bike. a newer one, i love the looking of the 2004 gasgas 300txt pro, but i ve heard bad things about em. plus i was thinking that if i ever get another bike it must be a four stroke, any suggestions?

GOOD JOB!!! great place to refer in case we need anything bro, the 3 sites are great THANKS ALOT!!!

.... i've been trying several deferent oils, with the same gas, V-power from shell, 93 octane, and i believe i was using VP before, but it was 3-4 months old. anyways even with this different gas, i still feel the push, push, push on low revs, although i have to say it has decreased. i will give a try to some new VP, then a 50:50 VP and shell gas mix, if still no results, then i will take the silencer, or midbox? to someone who can do the job. thanks for the advice !!!

ohhh, i see, i will try getting some of that race fuel then, mix it with the best pump gas i can get, and see the results, Thanks man, ill check back soon, and see if anyone has any other opinios

ok, ok, that's why i typed the question marks (???), cause i was not sure if it was the super unleaded, i believe thats about the highest u can get here in south texas, or north of mexico, i will look for a shell gas station, they should have a better gas there. and my next gas option would be VP...but.. if i try the VP red, will my pilot get clogged???, in that case i might just go for the highest octane gas i can get at a pump or a shell gas station. before getting my gas, let me refresh your minds, WHAT IS THE BEST FUEL FOR A 315R? VP 97 (super unleaded) 93 89 87 HAS ANYONE TRIED THEM ALL? OR A COUPLE OF THEM... WAS THERE ANY DIFFERENCE?

well i cleaned the carb not too long ago, but i could take a look at it if your sure of this, otherwise i would blame the gas im using, i sure its super old, just like the bike i just hope the problem is the gas not the bike, and.... so how's vp11o working on your bike? its it great, good, average, has it been better before? is it the best you've tried? convince me i should use it!!! thanks

hellow folks, i got this montesa cota 315r, they gave me this huge tank of BLUE GAS, i was told it was mixed with oil already (the front of the thank has a VP sticker). a friend of mine told me it was race fuel, and im about to finish it, im not sure what fuel to use, i dont consider race fuel an option but i could try getting it if nessesary. another important observation, i dont think my bike its running well, it feels ok at high revs, but otherwise it feels like its pushing and pushing and pushing every half/second, i heard it could be that this fuel its too old..... could it have something to do? so my options are: * VP (if nessesary, but tell me which one, cause i know there is vp2 and vp4 or something like that) * 93 octane <----(super unleaded??? is it???) * 89 octane * 87 octane, the other important thing would be what oil will i mix it with, and at what quantities, some say 80:1, but others say 70:1 will work better, anyone has try all of these fuel mixes?

yeah yeah, i have to thank eiaprilia who privately msg me and help me solved this problem, he though i either put in too much oil, or put the damper neddle the wrong way. since i didn't really deassamble the entire leg i went for the first option. i drained the oil, and i found i had actually put way over the recomended amount, so i pour in the recomended amount, and problem solved. Thanks to all of you guys, i believe the amount i used was 400cc, for each leg, i know there should be a difference between one leg and the other, but that is the way they were working before, and thats how they are working now. by the way eiaprilia seems to have lots of experience on these forks, if anyone has any problems on them im sure he will be glad to help you out a tumb up for eiaprilia!!! thanks bro.

hellow, i ve got a 315r with the showa forks i had 8-10wd oil in my fork, but as i saw videos of people bouncing their bikes i clearly say that thiers are way easier to bounce than mine. So today i decided to change my fork oil again, and my left leg seems ok, not as soft as i expected it but ok, while my right fork works well with the cover nut off, but as soon as i thighten it i turns into a stick, it does not compresses at all. something else, i read the adjusting screw on top of my right leg should click every turn.... right?, well mine does not, actually never since i bought it has it click but it sure adjusted the damping on the bike until now, it seems to have no effect with this new oil 5-7wd. i took out some oil from the right fork and it got better, but i just put in some more tryin to fix the prob, but it just got hard again. should i take out more oil, and leave both forks at 3.4 inches from the top? instead of left 3.4 inches and the right leg 1.5 inches from top? anyone knows what i did wrong, what i have to do to fix it,?

im having the same problem..... im getting tired,,,,, it seems to be only my right side leg so, what levels should i use, i saw a mark in the inner side of each fork and thats where i filled it up to, what did i do wrong? what level should i use? are we talking about the showa forks?

what would be a good price on a 2001 315r? i might end up selling mine... and getting another one and what other bike would be good to try, im completly new to trials... any suggestions? i heard beta makes great bikes, are they that great? how about sherco or gas gas? i ve seen 2 videos where 2007 gas gas swingarm breaeks . what would be a good option, gasgas, sherco beta, another montesa, 2t, or 4t? any suggestions?

all riiighttt im very happy now cause my 315r finally starrtttted... eae ae ae ae a, now i will make sure my clutch is working well, because i just changed the oil, and the friction plates so i will warm it up and hope it works, otherwise i will definitely go for those Surflex plates(bye the way i get these at lewisport?), as of today im still using some of the old plates and some of the new ones, but when im in 1st gear it turns off even with the entire clutch inn, anyways ill see how everything turns out. thank you all!!!

hohoho.... ea ea ea ea!!! finally its working!!!!!!! i changed the spark plug for a new one, i didnt get the correct one since they didnt have the right one, i tried it and nothing, then i went to another place and got the same one i had on(not the original) B8ES or B(something)8ES, not sure what the writing says, but its from NGK and tried it but nothing yet, then i checked all the cables and the CDi unit, because last thing i did before it stoped working was wash it with the tank off, so i poured a bucket of water on the motorcycle, later on i rechecked it and saw the kill switch was stock in... opened it up and kick it .... BRUMMM, BRUMMMMMMMMMM, BRUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, turn it off, and re start it and BRUMMMMMM AGAIN!!!!!, eaaaaa eaaaaa, i ammmm sooooo haaappyyy nowwww!!!! THANK YOU tt5th !!!!!! I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL OF YOUR HELPPP AND INTEEREST!!!! T H A N K Y O U!!!! by the way my cluctch seems to be working fine noww, thats an extra!!!
