Cookiemonster Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 Got a 2018 Montesa 260 4RT pulled it out of the garage last week & it kicked over first time let it run for 10 minutes, turned it off then kicked it over It started 1st time again let it run for a bit and ooking at the tacho it was running at over 2000 rpm so I turned the screw in a touch so it was running nicely at about 1850rpm at the same time I tucked the wiring that runs from the ignition behind the clip under the regulator...... turned it off then when I came to restart it wouldn’t start, did the reset, still wouldnt start so I looked at that wiring from the ignition & took off some loose electrical tape & pulled it out from the clip seen there was a crack in the insulation & when I looked inside I found this anyone know what it is? Surely can’t be from the factory? bike still won’t start 😤 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lineaway Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 I have no clue what that is, but that bike has the wiring run wrong. That is why it is so twisted looking. I would turn that adjuster back a full turn counterclockwise and start it again. I leave my bike running just above 2000 rpm`s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a security ID chip, Datatag or similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookiemonster Posted December 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 Thanks Spen, it is indeed what you say, data tag chip, glad I didn’t throw it away! hi lineaway, I’ll see if I can straighten the wiring when I put the chip back in had this starting issue earlier in the year so hopefully it is just turning out the adjuster enough to get it started should have left it alone at 2k rpm🤬 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
