tombleds Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 my 4rt idles runs fine on the sidestand if your bike shuts off on the side stand you should inspect your bank angle sensor(section 6-8) in the manual It should not shut off on the side stand unless your stand is really bent!!!! My guess is the bike shuts off when it is on its side because with fuel injection it would keep running unlike a carburated bike therefore I think this is an excellent feature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin belair Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 HiPicked up a new Mont 4RT the other day. Yesterday I changed the oil filter and replaced the engine oil as per owners manual. Started the bike afterwards no problem. Just gone to start the bike again and can't get it going at all. Any ideas on what to try to get it going again? Cheers Muffin Mr Muffin, another thing to remember is not to kick the bike too hard, the starter only needs to be pushed through. Also, remember to keep the throttle shut when starting cold. Try holding the front brake on to prevent your hand from rolling. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffin Posted April 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Hi All After a bit of tooing and frowing with the bike between dealers it was the idle speed that was too low. Even after putting an electrical tester to see the output from the stator there was no current to the spark plug. The computer bit during the charging kicks initiates the fuel pump and the injector. If enough fuel is getting through then current is sent to the spark plug. Even if the idle speed seems high do not touch the idle screw. Mr Belair you were correct, I thank you. I have fitted a 315 clutch to the bike as well and it is sooooo much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombleds Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Muffin glad you got your bike sorted you said you fit the 315r clutch was it the master cylinder you fitted? if so does the clutch hose bolt right up or did you have to change it also thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barcota Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 The Montesa 315 clutch reservoir bolts directly to the 4RT hose with no alterations. Be sure to bleed the line after the conversion to get all air bubbles out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ossagripper250 Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 damn new fangled engines, far better when all you needed to start one was a blank shotgun cartridge, a burning rag and a hammer...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
