bilc0 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) Looks like you've got a decent buy. Your missing the chain tensioner, they can be easily got from this guy http://www.inmotiontrials.com/ Also the front sprocket cover, can't remember if it was part of the flywheel cover or if it was a two halve cover, will have to check mine. Also what i don't need to tell you the airbox, the original boxes are very hard to source. Its worth having a read through this site here http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=es&u=http://nacho247.blogspot.com/&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dmontesa%2B242%2Bblogspot%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1173%26bih%3D584%26prmd%3Dimvns&sa=X&ei=PY99UPiNL6fB0gWkoYHADA&ved=0CEsQ7gEwBg theres plenty to read about on the 242 Edited October 16, 2012 by bilc0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo349 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 The front wheel is incorrect and the torque arm has been cobbled onto the front hub. It also looks like the torque arm bracket is broken off the fork leg. Good luck with the bike James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willbur Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 yes the casing should be a complete one piece one, they are good little bikes i have got three of them one i am doing up to ride and the others for spares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Front wheel might be wrong, but it might just work better than the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Thanks for the info..yeh thought the front wheel was a bit out of place, wont be first thing i change as it seems to fit ok. Ok , before strip down , where can i get hold of a full set of gaskets etc And any info on where to locate parts ..new and old.
