  1. I have thought about and maybe need to renew my crank bearings and other related engine bearings etc, I think I was informed when and where I cannot recall hence my question. The gear cluster can stay untouched in the one half of the crank case and allow the work to take place. ? is this correct. ( I would like to think so) I think I was also told you need to know which is he correct side of the crank case to remove/split leaving the gears in place. ? I so wish a manual was available for these bike. Any help or advice greatly appreciated. Ken. Should add other than the flywheel puller is there any other special tools I would need. ?
  2. Sorry for late reply, I have been away and had no Internet. But I have to select Neutral just as you explain. It seems normal. I have found when coming to a stop (rolling) I can easily select neutral when changing down as the bike is rolling. Come to a stop and try select it, it is a different story. So we will continue to use our hands. But as you say pain in a section.
  3. Hi everybody. I have the Minareli FM350 engine in my 200. Before the electrics packed up it ran a treat. (soon to be sorted) But I have a question for you guys in the know. Is it common to struggle to select neutral. I can do it relatively easy with my hand, but do I struggle to select with my heel. Not over concerned, if I remember 30 years ago on my Montesa and Bultaco I had the same problems. But it would be nice to know if other have the issue. There may even be an easy fix. Thanks in advance Ken.
  4. Thanks for that info, But I do not need the whole items. I only need the internal Ball and spring Valve. However this company might sell them or know who does. Regards Ken.
  5. Hi Guys and Gals, I have just bought a Fantic 200. I have started getting it in order and found today when cleaning and refilling forks with new oil. That one of the Fork top nuts which has a Grub screw in the middle has one of the Internal Ball and Spring Valve missing. Now do I actually need these in ? will what little air is passed through this small hole have a big affect on the forks. Or how about I block off the hole ? will this have an affect on the forks. But if anybody can point me in the right direction to buy new ones maybe that is what I should do. I also have another big job to complete, it will not start NO Sparks, I have ordered a new electronic ignition system from a company called In Motion which does away with the coil etc, so hopefully I should be up and running soon. I think to replace a 27 year old system makes good sense. I am new to this 1980 twin shock stuff, looking forward to using the forum Thanks in advance Ken
