old bones Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 I have a few questions I hope someone can help me with regarding my "81" montesa cota 200. 1, Is it possible to start the motor when in gear with the clutch lever pulled in? as the clutch wont clear by pulling in the lever and using the kickstart. 2, When the motor is running and you are stopped its very difficult to select a gear, Its also quite hard to pull in the clutch lever, the cable is routed ok and no sharp bends 3, What oil should I use for the gearbox and how much, does this also lube the clutch? 4, I have been using 50:1 petrol /synth oil mix is this correct or can it go a bit leaner?. Sorry if these questions seem simple, but when you dont know its always better to ask. Any info would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerorev3rev4 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 yes you can start in gear with clutch held in it sounds like your clutch is not disengaging ,if its not this will cause selecting to be difficult will be hard to hold back when sat still or push backwards in gear clutch in ,the clutches on these are quite heavy have you got a good length lever and not a daft shorty ,( sounds like you have a problem other than a lever though ) has clutch arm been modified ,i use an easy clutch helper makes it much lighter manual states sae-10w30 i use atf which seems fine 900cc 30.5 usa floz 31.5 gb fl.oz this does lube the clutch i use 90 to 100 ml synth to 5l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
