rock hopper Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Does the 07 feel different then the 06 with the cam change!and does it start any better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 As no montesas are available in the uk, 06 or 07 (and haven't been for 8 weeks WHY???) the question is very academic but the 07 I understand is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickerlias Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 07 clutch is better, rear silencer is better (a bit quieter too). Cant really tell any difference on the cam personally. No difference with starting. There is a technique and tickover has not to be set too low. Starts better out of gear, starts in gear with Elf gearbox oil in! I think something went wrong with Dabsters font. Does it really need to be that big? Is he trying to make some sort of point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perce Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 I've changed from an 06 to 07. I ran a PTB (on a soft map) & a large clutch master cylinder on the 06 bike & after riding the 07 bike as Standard I find no need to fit these items. I've found the 07 bike to be soft low down but plently of grunt when needed, the clutch isn't grabby at all. I've found little difference in starting, perhaps the 07 will start more often in gear than the 06 did. Both bikes started similar from cold. The only thing I've found with the 07 bike is that if left for 10 minutes or so when hot it can be a bit awkward to start again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gii Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 A couple have appeared in the NE centre in the last few weeks, so why is the question academic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldilocks Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Mr Dabster what are you getting at ?, why would they have to be imports ? do you have somthing against the importer ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gii Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 (edited) guess they would be paralell imports then? Neither are mine so I can't confirm that. I'd doubt it though as the one I was looking at a fortnight ago came from an 'official' UK dealer (i.e. one who supplies bikes imported by Sandifords). Also, and perhaps more pertinently it'd been on order for a couple of months when it eventually turned up. Parallel imports of all makes can usually be obtained in 7-10 days. Parallel import or UK Concessionaire bike, I don't see why the question is academic unless you have reason to believe UK spec bikes are different to those sourced elsewhere in the EU. I recall the first TY engined Scorpas were supposed to be a different spec to the continental ones, at least according to the then official importer they were.

daggs888 Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Sandyfords sold a huge amount of unsold 05's to Appelyards and I think now that Appelyards have sold the 80 or so new 05's, we will start to see the new models comin through Bought one of the new 05's myself ...... very little difference and a grand cheaper Mitani Clutch, thats the job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) Mr Dabsterwhat are you getting at ?, why would they have to be imports ? do you have somthing against the importer ? Sandifords have apparently been "unable" to get bikes for 8 weeks (2 months just before the scottish) and no dealers in the uk can get them, why is this? If you don't believe me phone your dealer.

Andy Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Sandifords have apparently been "unable" to get bikes for 8 weeks (2 months just before the scottish) and no dealers in the uk can get them, why is this? Rather than ask on here where you are highly unlikely to get an answer, why not... Sandifords - 01282 428383 ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
