Important Safety Precautions
Your Cota can provide many years of pleasure if you take
responsibility for your own safety and understand the
challenges you can meet in competitive racing.
As an experienced rider, you know there is much you can
do to protect yourself when you ride.
The following are a few precautions we consider to be
most important.
Never Carry a Passenger.
Your Cota is designed for one operator only.
Carrying a passenger can cause crashes in which you and
others can be hurt.
Wear Protective Gear.
Whether you’re practicing to improve your skills, or riding
in competition, always wear an approved helmet, eye
protection, and proper protective gear.
Take Time to Get to Know Your Cota.
Because every motorcycle is unique, take time to become
thoroughly familiar with how this one operates and
responds to your commands before placing your machine,
and yourself, in competition.
Learn and Respect Your Limits.
Never ride beyond your personal abilites or faster than
conditions warrant. Remember that alcohol, drugs, illness
and fatigue can reduce your ability to perform well and
ride safely.
Don’t Drink and Ride.
Alcohol and riding don’t mix. Even one drink can reduce
your ability to respond to changing conditions, and your
reaction time gets worse with every additional drink. So
don’t drink and ride, and don’t let your friends drink and
ride either.
Keep your Montesa in Safe Condition.
Maintaining your Cota properly is critical to your safety. A
loose bolt, for example, can cause a breakdown in which
you can be seriously injured.
Accessories & Modifications
Modifying your Cota or using non-Montesa accessories
can make your Cota unsafe.
Before you consider making any modifications or adding
an accessory, be sure to read the following information.
!
WARNING
Improper accessories or modifications can cause a
crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this Owner’s Manual
regarding modifications and accessories.
Accessories
We strongly recommend that you use only Montesa
Genuine accessories that have been specifically designed
and tested for your Cota. Because Montesa cannot test
all other accessories, you must be personally responsible
for proper selection, installation, and use of non-Montesa
accessories.
Check with your dealer for assistance and always follow
this guideline:
Make sure the accessory does not reduce ground clea-
rance and lean angle, limit suspension travel or steering
travel, alter your riding position, or interfere with ope-
rating any controls.
Modifications
We strongly advise you not to remove any original
equipment or modify your Cota in any way that would
change its design or operation.
Such changes could seriously impair your Cota’s handling,
stability, or braking, making it unsafe to ride.
General Competition Maintenance
Perform maintenance on firm, level ground using the side
stand, a workstand, or equivalent support.
When tightening bolts, nuts or screws, start with the
larger diameter or inner fasteners, and tighten them to
the specified torque using a crisscross pattern.
Use Montesa Genuine Parts or their equivalent when
servicing your Cota.
Clean parts in non-flammable (high flash point) cleaning
solvent (such as kerosene) when disassembling. Lubricate
any sliding surface, O-rings, or seals before reassembling.
Grease parts by coating or filling where specified.
After any engine disassembly, always install new gaskets,
O-rings, cotter pins, piston pin clips, snap rings, etc. when
reassembling. After reassembly, check all parts for proper
installation and operation.

How To Use This Manual
The purpose of this Owner’s / Service Manual is to help
ensure that you obtain the greatest possible satisfaction
from your new COTA trialer; satisfaction with the
performance of the motorcycle, and through success in
competition.
If you plan to do any service on your COTA, section 3
describes standard maintenance and sections 4 through
6 contain information on repair, disassembly, assembly
and special tools.
Follow the Maintenance Schedule recommendation (page
3-1) to ensure that your COTA is always in peak operating
condition.
Importance Of Proper Preparation
Proper pre-competition preparation and regular service
is essential to rider safety and the reliability of the
motorcycle. Any error or oversight made by the technician
during preparation or servicing can easily result in faulty
operation, damage to the machine, or injury to the rider.
Parts Availability
Orders for the parts tend to be concentrated during the
season, so you need to plan your parts orders carefully.
To prevent delays in shipment, place orders on regularly
replaced and fast-wearing parts well ahead of the season
(see page 3-2).
To The New Owner
By selecting a MONTESA COTA 4RT as your new
machine, you have placed yourself in a distinguished
family of owners and riders.
The COTA is a high performance trial motorcycle utilizing
the latest trial technology. This motorcycle is intended for
competition use by experienced riders only.
This new trialer was designed to be as competitive as
possible. But motorcycle trial is a physically demanding
sport that requires more than just a fine racing machine.
To do well, you must be in excellent physical condition
and be a skillful rider. For the best possible results, work
diligently on your physical conditioning and practice
frequently.
The purpose of this Owner’s / Service Manual is to help
ensure that you obtain the greatest possible satisfaction
from your new COTA trialer.

NOTICE
When fi lling the coolant system, be sure to bleed air
completely. If not, the system cannot be suffi ciently fi lled
and will cause overheating.
Basic Operation
Starting The Engine
Your COTA exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide
gas. High levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly in
enclosed areas such as a garage. Do not run the engine
with the garage door closed. Even with the door open,
run the engine only long enough to move your COTA out
of the garage.
Cold Engine Starting
1. Shift the transmission into neutral.
2. With the throttle fully closed, operate the kickstarter.
Starting from the top of the kickstarter stroke, kick
through to the bottom with a rapid, continuous motion.
3. After the engine starts, run it for a few minutes, “blip-
ping” the throttle, until it warms up enough to idle.

Break-In Procedure
New Motorcycle
Following proper break-in procedure helps ensure that
the most important and expensive components on your
new motorcycle will provide maximum performance and
service life. (Also follow proper break-in procedure for a
newly rebuilt engine.)
When riding a new motorcycle, operate the motorcycle
for the first 20 minutes using not more than half throttle
and shifting gears so that the engine does not lug.
Reconditioned Motorcycle
After replacing the cylinder and crankshaft, operate
the motorcycle for 20 minutes observing the same
cautions as for a new motorcycle.
When the piston, piston ring, gears, etc. are replaced,
they must be broken in observing the first 30 minutes
using not more than half throttle and shifting gears so
that the engine does not lug.
When you shift the transmission into gear, apply front
brake to prevent the motorcycle from moving forward.
Stopping The Engine
1. Shift the transmission into neutral.
2. Push the engine stop button until the engine stops
completely.

(1) STEERING LOCK
Steering lock
The steering lock is on the steering stem.
To lock the steering, turn the handlebar all the way to
the left, insert the key into the lock, and turn the key
counterclockwise as far as possible. Then, press the lock
all the way in, turn the key back to the original
position, and remove the key.
To unlock the steering, perform the locking sequence in
the reverse order.
Shifting gears
Your Cota has five forward gears in a one-down, four-up
shift pattern.
To start riding, after the engine has been warmed and the
side stand raised.
1. Close the throttle and pull the front brake lever in.
2. Pull the clutch lever all the way in.
3. Depress the shift lever from neutral down to first gear.
4. Release the front brake lever. Gradually open the
throttle while you slowly release the clutch lever. If the
engine min-1 (rpm) (speed) is too low when you release
the clutch lever, the engine will stall.
If the engine min-1 (rpm) (speed) is too high or you
release the clutch lever too quickly, your Cota may
lurch forward.
5. When you attain a moderate speed, close the throttle,
pull the clutch lever in, and raise the shift lever. After
shifting, release the clutch lever and apply the throttle.
6. To continue shifting up to each higher gear, repeat step 5.
7. To shift down to a lower gear, close the throttle, pull
the clutch lever in, and depress the shift lever. After
shifting, release the clutch lever and apply the throttle.
Remember to close the throttle and pull the clutch lever in
completely before shifting.
NOTICE
Improper shifting may damage the engine, transmission,
and drive train.
Learning when to shift gears comes with experience.
Upshift to a higher gear or reduce throttle before engine
min-1 (rpm) (speed) gets too high. Downshift to a lower
gear before you feel the engine laboring (lugging) at low
min-1 (rpm).
NOTICE
Downshifting can help slow your motorcycle, especially
on downhills. However, downshifting when engine min-1
(rpm) is too high can cause engine damage.
NOTICE
To prevent transmission damage, do not coast or tow the
motorcycle for long distances with the engine off.

Operating Instructions
1-5
1-5
Braking
To slow or stop, apply the front brake lever and rear brake
pedal smoothly, while downshifting to match your speed.
Gradually increase braking as you feel the brakes slowing
your speed. To prevent stalling the engine, pull the clutch
lever in before coming to a complete stop. For support,
put your left foot down first, then your right foot when
you are through using the rear brake pedal.
For maximum braking, close the throttle and firmly apply
the front brake lever and rear brake pedal controls.
Applying the brakes too hard may cause the wheels to
lock and slide, reducing control of your Cota. If this hap-
pens, release the brake controls, steer straight ahead until
you regain control, then reapply the brakes more gently.
Generally, reduce your speed or complete braking befo-
re beginning a turn. Avoid braking or closing the throttle
quickly while turning. Either action may cause one or both
wheels to slip. Any wheel slip will reduce your control of
your Cota.
When riding in wet or raining conditions, or on loose sur-
faces, the ability to maneuver and stop will be reduced.
All of your actions should be smooth under these condi-
tions. Rapid acceleration, braking, or turning may cause
loss of control. For your safety, exercise extreme caution
when braking, accelerating, or turning.
When descending a long, steep grade, use engine com-
pression braking by downshifting, with intermittent use
of both brakes.
When you brake to a stop, pull the clutch lever in before
stopping completely to prevent stalling the engine. For
support, put your left foot on the ground first, then your
right foot when you have finish braking.
Parking
Lower the side stand to support your Cota.
Always choose a level surface to park.

Throttle Grip
Throttle Grip Free Play
Standard throttle grip free play is approximately 3 mm
(0.12 in) of grip rotation.
Adjustment is made with the integral throttle cable
adjuster.
Slide the dust cover off from the integral cable adjuster.
Turning the adjuster in direction “A” will decrease free
play and turning it in direction “B” will increase free play.
Tighten the lock nut after adjustment.
Operate the throttle grip to ensure that it functions
smoothly and returns completely in all steering position.
(1) DUST COVER (A) DECREASE
(2) LOCK NUT (B) INCREASE
(3) ADJUSTER
Clutch Lever
The clutch lever free play can be adjusted by turning the
adjuster.
Free play must be adjusted to provide 0.1 – 1.4 mm
(0.004 – 0.055 in) clearance between the end of the
adjuster and the clutch master cylinder piston.
To increase free play, turn the adjuster clockwise, then
tighten the lock nut securely.
If the clutch lever free play exceeds 30 mm (1.2 in) even
though the end of the adjuster and the clutch master
cylinder piston is adjusted to the minimum of 0.1 mm
(0.004 in), there is probably air in the clutch system and
it must be bled.
NOTICE
Do not adjust the end of the adjuster and the clutch mas-
ter cylinder piston below 0.1 mm (0.004 in).
(1) ADJUSTER
(2) LOCK NUT
Controls
Clutch
Your COTA has a hydraulically actuated clutch. There are
no adjustments to perform but the clutch system must be
inspected periodically for fluid level and leakage.
If the control lever free play becomes excessive and the
motorcycle creeps or stalls when shifted into gear, or if
the clutch slips, causing acceleration to lag behind engine
speed, there is probably air in the clutch hydraulic system
and it must be bled out.

Handlebar Position, Width and Shape
Position the handlebar so that gripping the bar and ope-
rating the controls is comfortable while both seated and
standing, while riding straight ahead and turning.
Handlebar width can be trimmed with a hacksaw to
better your particular shoulder width and riding preferen-
ce. Think this though carefully and cut off just a small
amount at a time from both sides equally.
NOTICE
Chamfer the edges to remove burrs and other irregulari-
ties or roughness after shaping.
An alternate handlebar shape, through varying rise or re-
arward sweep dimensions, will provide further adjustment
to riding position and may better suit your particular body
size or riding style. Each of the ergonomic dimensions
of the motorcycle were determined to suit the greatest
possible number of riders based on an average size rider.

Use specified fork fluid which additives to assure
maximum performance of your Cota’s front suspension.
Specified fork fluid:
Left: KYB 01M (5W)
Right: KYB 01M (5W)
Periodically check and clean all front suspension parts
to assure top performance. Check the dust seals for
dust, dirt and foreign materials. Check the fluid for any
contamination.
Make rebound damping adjustments in one-click
increments. Adjusting two or more clicks at a time
may cause you to pass over the best adjustment. Test
ride after each adjustment.
If you become confused about adjustment settings,
return to the standard position and start over.
(1) PRE-LOAD ADJUSTER
Fork
The motorcycle is shipped with a light coating of grease
on the forks. This is not an indication of a leak.
The fork should always be adjusted for the rider’s weight
and track conditions by using one or more of the following
methods.
There are two adjustments you can make to the front
suspension:
Rebound damping (right fork)
Turning the rebound damping adjuster adjusts how
quickly the fork extends.
Spring pre-load (left fork)
Turning the spring pre-load adjuster adjusts the spring
initial pre-load length.
Replace the fork fluid every 6 months. See page 5-7,
5-11 for oil level adjustment after changing the fork fluid.

Storage
Extended storage, such as for winter, requires that you
take certain steps to reduce the effects of non-use. In
addition, it is useful to do the necessary repairs BEFORE
storing your COTA, as if you don’t you could forget these
repairs when you use it again.
Preparing The Motorcycle For Storage
1. Completely clean all parts of your COTA. Wash with
fresh water and wipe dry.
2. Drain the fuel tank into an approved gasoline container.
!
WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and is explosive. You can
be burned or seriously injured when draining or refue-
ling.
• Stop engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
• Drain or refuel only outdoors.
• Wipe up spills immediately.
3. Remove the coolant drain bolt at the water pump cover
to drain coolant. Drain coolant into a proper container.
After the coolant has been completely drained, ensure
that the drain bolt sealing washer is in good condition
and reinstall the drain bolt.
4. Lubricate the drive chain.
5. Remove the spark plug and pour a table spoon (15 –
20 cm
3
) of clean engine oil into the cylinder.
With the spark plug grounded or the Engine Stop
Switch pushed, crank the engine several times to dis-
tribute the oil.
6. Inflate the tires to their recommended pressure.
7. Place your COTA on the maintenance stand or equiva-
lent to raise both tires off the ground.
8. Stuff a rag into the muffler outlet. Then tie a plastic
bag over the end of the muffler to prevent moisture
from entering.
9. Cover your COTA and store in a place which is free of
humidity and dust.
Removal from Storage
1. Uncover and clean your COTA.
Change the engine and transmission oil if more than 4
months have passed since the start of storage.
2. Uncover the end of the muffler and remove the rag
from the muffler outlet.
3. Fill the fuel tank with recommended fuel.
4. Pour the recommended coolant slowly from the radia-
tor filler neck.
Bleed the air in the cooling system and install the radia-
tor cap securely (page 3-9).
Cleaning
Clean your COTA regularly to protect the surface finishes
and inspect for damage, wear, or oil leaks.
When washing your COTA, always use water and a mild
detergent (such as dishwashing liquid) to avoid discolo-
ring the decals.
NOTICE
High pressure water (or air) can damage certain parts of
the motorcycle.
Wheel hubs.
Light and engine stop switch.
Muffler outlet.
Electrical components.
Drive Chain.
Brake and clutch master cylinder.
Rubber components.
Plastic components.
Stickers, decals.
Air duct.
1. After cleaning, rinse your COTA thoroughly with plenty
of clean water. Detergent residue can corrode alloy
parts.
2. Dry your COTA, start the engine, and let it run for se-
veral minutes.
3. Lubricate the drive chain immediately after washing
and drying your COTA.
4. Test the brakes before riding your COTA. Several appli-
cations may be necessary to restore normal braking
performance. Braking performance may be impaired
immediately after washing your COTA.

points seat-in, the spokes may need to be retightened.
Once past this initial seating-in period, the spokes should
hold their tension. Still, be sure your race maintenance
program includes checking spoke tension and overall
wheel condition on a regular basis.

Self-diagnosis Reset Procedure
After the faulty circuit has been repaired, connect the
PGM-FI warning unit assembly as noted in the previous
step.
Before turning on the power switch, turn the WARN/
RESET switch to the WARN side.
Turn the power switch ON, then turn the WARN/RESET
switch to RESET.
The MIL lights for about 5 seconds.
While the MIL lights, turn the WARN/RESET switch to the
WARN side.
Self-diagnosis memory data is erased if the MIL turns off
and starts blinking.
The WARN/RESET switch must be switched to WARN
side while the indicator lights. If not, the MIL will not
sart blinking
Note that the self-diagnosis memory data cannot be
erased if you disconnect the battery from the warning
unit assembly before the MIL starts blinking.
Turn the power switch OFF and disconnect the warning
unit assembly from the motorcycle.

PGM-FI Self-diagnosis malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) failure codes
The PGM-FI MIL denotes the failure codes (the number of blinks from 0 to 54). When the indicator lights for 1.3 seconds, it is equivalent to ten blinks. For example; a 1.3 second
illumination and two blinks (0.5 second x 2) of the indicator equals 12 blinks. Follow code 12 troubleshooting.
When more than one failure occurs, the MIL shows the blinks in the order of lowest number to highest number. For example; if the indicator blinks once, then seven times, two
failures have occurred. Follow codes 1 and 7 troubleshooting.
