nigel dabster Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Not really interested in bling and spray jobs, but I do like the idea of whats good to alter/ easier to work on. A friend of mine is thinking of trying to sort his a bit what would peps suggest?? Heard a sherco rear brake is good, perce said you need a bashplate, anything else worth the effort?

boydw Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Mr Dabster I thought you were a gas gas man? So why would you be interested in 4rt modifications, are you going to the dark side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I thought you were a gas gas man? So why would you be interested in 4rt modifications, are you going to the dark side? Never mind that - I'm just stunned that Dabster has a friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windlestone Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 as Perce says, sump shields are useless as are footrests some say hangers bend too easily too but depends on how much rockery you ride. I like to put higher bars on i find the standard ones a little low I left the gearing standard and the clutch and i find both are fine. Start from cold no throttle and let warm up start warm no throttle, start warm in gear a touch of throttle. Decent gearbox oil is a good mod too. As soon as you get it, err sorry as soon as your friend gets his change the bolts on the front disc guard for hex heads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel dabster Posted October 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 What year? Think he's going for an 07 or 08 apparently. (Good deals on 07's) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gii Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 (edited) As above, the year of the bike makes a difference as Montesa have improved things. All years - fit a VMar type chain guard on the front sprocket, this stops a jumped chain from bunching up then smashing the timing cover (Windlestone how did you forget that???)

windlestone Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 can't believe i forgot about the v mar chain guard, after smashing the case and pushing back to the car.Thanks Gordon. I haven't put rear set footrest hangers on, as i think it will put more pressure on my wrists, back. Which was the whole point of higher bars , to stop arm pump. I put thicker grips on too but thats just personal preference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gii Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 can't believe i forgot about the v mar chain guard, after smashing the case and pushing back to the car. Mind, the hot oil running back over your left boot gave it a good waterproofing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsurfer Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 V-mar also makes an excellent snail cam, more adjustment than stock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
