swooshdave Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I certainly would discourage putting oil into the crankcase. As for the oil/gas ratio, that is more debated than who shot JKF. Let's just say that some oil is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_pa_usa Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Are you sure its a 1975 Cota 200? I don't think they came out until '80. In '75 it would have been a 175 or a 247. See the following link: http://www.southwestmontesa.com/montesa/years.htm I have a 200 and can get you the info that you need. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjs Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Thanks for the speedy replys guys, bob pa usa could you give me the info for the 200, i will have to research and find out the correct year but could you give me answers for the 200 cota and we'll presume it's 1981+, just to clear up, what i meant by crankcase quantity was gearbox oil, thanks again bob pa usa, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good performer. Problems I've had have been gas tank leaks and the tranny popping out of gear. Adding a ball bearing to the detent spring at the top of the case helped a lot, but didn't eliminate the problem. Good luck. email me if you need anything else.

sjs Posted February 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Great, thankyou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_pa_usa Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 You're very welcome. I checked my records, and found that I settled on 15 wt in my forks, which seems to work fine, so you would probably find 7 wt to be too light. I weigh 165 lbs.
