rr62 Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 2021 4RT. The pointy bits (if you have one you’ll know) of the graphics are lifting. Only a tiny bit. What’s the best remedy and/or glue? Obvious option would be superglue but I don’t want residue which is impossible to remove! Any ideas much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cee-B Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Be very careful about using any kind of glue on graphics, many glues cause them to melt. The best way I've found is to thoroughly clean the back of the graphic (surprisingly, you can use a little petrol without it removing the glue) and then simply use a hot air gun/hairdryer to reattach the graphic.

peter_steer Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 Hello, The best way i have found is to use spray adhesive, ( No nonsense contact adhesive, by a well known building material supplier £4.38). Peel the sticker back until you get a clean bit, then remove any dirt with brake cleaner or similar, I scrape the muck away with a blade. If its just the edge, spray some adhesive into the lid and then get a cotton bud and dab it on the sticker, wait 30 seconds, then press down firmly and you're done, any excess can be cleaned up with brake cleaner. If its a big area of sticker, either take the whole thing off and spray straight from the can, or leaving it half attached, cover all surrounding areas and spray onto the sticker and wait 30 seconds and press down. My stickers have been stuck down for over two years now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyc21 Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) Other than using a spray adhesive called Supper 77 here in the US I do it the same as peter_steer. PS. If I can't find the adhesive spray I have also had some luck with a bit of careful use of brake cleaner and some heat but it dose not last as long as the Supper 77 in my opinion.

rr62 Posted April 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 Thanks all - much appreciated. Will clean and crack on with the spray adhesive. Wish the side stand was that simple - why can’t Honda/Montesa sort this?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I posted a thread and pictures about fitting it, but perhaps I didn’t! here’s some pics as I fitted it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will def look at this as the stock stand is a total pain! I really like the Mitani sidestand solution on 4RT myself, as light as a feather yet the bike stands like a rock stable on it, nothing fiddly about it, even on a softer ground. Also goes more nicely "out of the way" without being vunerable and works partly as a swingarm protection too compared to other sidestand mods I've seen on Montesas - it's vastly superior IMHO. (Accordingly) not cheap though! Edited October 11, 2022 by tsiklonaut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rr62 Posted October 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 Mitani side stand looks excellent but at £190 I think I’ll continue to use the tree option at trials Real shame that Montesa/Honda can’t get this one right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
