Montesa ID Guide

Good Luck! It really helps the parts guy to get you the correct part the first time if he has all the information you can give him. Because the bikes we ride are not new, many things could have been changed over the past years. Many European companies introduced new stuff when they got it, which was sometimes in the middle of a production run and not just on their new model.

There are examples of where on a Montesa to find the ID at the bottom of the page. Not all VIN’s are where they are in the first two pictures, but on the steering head like in the last picture.
