rev`er Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 anyone remember Gavins bad experience with his montesa, well eventually we found out that the chrome on his carb slide had worn away, causing the slide to stick when revved at a certain amount! Is there any prevention for this, or do you av 2 buy a new slide every 6mnths, this would be helpful for both of us, because im plannin a 2001 montesa after the new year!! cheers chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattl Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 that's very unusual, would think maybe some grit got in there and started to wear on the slide prematurely, unless it was defective. Whenever set up a new bike, and periodically after, use a small spray of Tri-Flow lube to coat the slide (also use an injector to lube the cable with it and the throttle tube itself. Have not found anything that will give a smoother throttle tube to bar action than Tri-Flow). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtt Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Have not found anything that will give a smoother throttle tube to bar action than Tri-Flow). Try dry graphite powder You'll never go back. Even TriFlow will attract dirt...dry graphite doesn't and feels like tiny ball bearings...beautiful!
