four_art_tee Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 So, my new 300RR arrives tomorrow! Few questions for you all..... How do you go about running in a new 4rt? Obvious mods to make straight away? How do the standard gearing and maps work/feel? Now to sit and wait for the van man! Cheers guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyl Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 case saver - first mod - mesh on vents in mudguard- 2nd mod - fill with fuel - 3rd mod. Search forums whilst you are waiting for van man but apart from above everything else is personal preference. My 260 2015 run was just gentle riding and building up revs with minimal pottering about. Ride strong but not abusive. Change oils and filters after a few hours but in reality clean as a whistle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four_art_tee Posted April 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Cheers for the advice jimmyl, I've seen from previous reasearch on the site that you do map changes for local riders, any thoughts on this higher pressure fuel pump on the 2016 models that will effect older maps being used?

jimmyl Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Hi -not sure - I'm not sure if this is just Honda propaganda to allow them to fit a fuel pump assembly off a standard road bike -maybe I'm cynical.my 2015 std map is pretty good so probably RR is good to go as it come.

guys Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 The things I did when I got my 300RR - mount case saver, waterpump and coil cover - change rear sprocket for a 43T (best use a half chain link) - Change rear brake disc for a Galfer one - ad water resistant grease to link, wheel and steering head bearings follow the instructions in the manual for running in. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desmo_kid Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Congratulations, fun bike, I have a few hours on my 300. They say in the manual to stay away from more than 1/2 throttle, so I've done that and kept away from any high revs. I could smell oil from the exhaust for the first hour of running, which was broken up into 4 or 5 short segments, now I smell nothing at all other than a bit of gas when it first starts when it's cold (some 40 degree days last time I started it). Don't kick the kicker hard, just steady, even strokes, without jumping up and without "snapping" your leg, easy does it and she starts. Well, 10 easy kicks the other day, but it was 30 degrees F.

four_art_tee Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Thanks so far; Any considerations when removing headlight and switch? How far back can I trace the wiring and cut it out? The above would involve removing the tank – is that easy? Any tips advice welcome. Does fuel spill out when “the system” is opened up?

guys Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Thanks so far; Any considerations when removing headlight and switch? How far back can I trace the wiring and cut it out? The above would involve removing the tank – is that easy? Any tips advice welcome. Does fuel spill out when “the system” is opened up? No, the fuel doesn't spill out because no fuel line is opened. You have to remove the complete injector with the fuel tank. Due to the new lay-out of the fuel line, you have to remove the breather hose from the valve cover. The rest is described here: http://montesa4rt.nl/data/2016_300RR_kit_300RR.pdf http://montesa4rt.nl/data/2016_300RR_kit_full_power.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiechris Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 ...and you shouldn't need to cut any wiring. The "street' wiring should be able to be removed by disconnecting various connectors. The only thing to watch is that the fan relay is originally mounted behind the headlight. It needs to be retained and re-located to a bracket under the seat (the original wiring is long enough to re-route). Check before riding that the fan comes on a few minutes after starting.
