barfy Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) Not strictly a Montesa question, but I’m running a Showa 315 front end in my RTL so I can have some affordable front pads. I noticed when I washed the bike yesterday that the yoke / forks seem to be slightly raked compared to the frame header; i.e. not parallel. So I compared to my sons Scorpa 20 and my 2015 4RT which seems to have parellel forks to yokes. Which I assume mean parellel yokes / fork clamps. Do later Montesa’s have parellel yokes / fork clamps? If so does anyone know from what year 315? jstbwondering if it’s a function of the frame header rather than the fork yokes.

copemech Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 many bikes have yoke offset of a couple degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotors7 Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 I'm sure I read that later 315 models had their rake steepened. I might be wrong of course ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barfy Posted June 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Been away for a few days. I thought so as well @rotors7 and my 4RT has steeper parellel to the headstock yokes. We can’t both be wrong. I suppose my question was “is it a feature of the headstock or the yokes”? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
