oldmonty Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 (edited) Hi, I came across this web-site while browsing for info on Montesa 349's and found some advice from, I think, Vintagecota. He said that if the kickstart was angled too far forward, it could break a hole into the flywheel case. So that was why my points were always getting wet! Sure enough, there was a hole about the size of my fingernail where I would never have found it! I had never seen another 349 until last Sunday when another one showed up at the trials I was riding. It was fun to trade bikes for a comparison. Mine is a 1980 with the original hydrobag rear shocks. The only thing that's missing is the airbox cover, so I've had to cobble one up until I find the proper one. I ride in the Canadian Vintage Group's trials and I switched to the Montesa after years of struggling with BSA's. cheers!

vintagecota Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Take it easy on that thing, It's like riding a wild bull! More power than you'll EVER need. More power than ANYONE will EVER need. I've got a copy of that bike with 3.4 miles on it. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmonty Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Compared to my BSA, this bike is a pussycat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
