I have a Tiger Cub with Fantic forks - with a serious leak. Problem is I don't know what model the forks are or what bike they came off. I have bought some new seals the same size as those already on the bike (32x42x8), but now I need to add the oil - question is how much??

For those Fantic enthusiasts who may be able to help, the details are:

32mm stanchions
Drum brake left hand pull
Original colour - Red
Drain screw at bottom rear of each leg
Hex bolt in bottom secures internals
Four sided alloy screw threaded bolt secures spring

Thanks,

John

They are probably Betor which were fitted std to the 50s and 80s Trial version. Start at 170ml, 10ml if you are light enough.

Thanks for the advice. I did some more searching last night, and they look a lot like an early series Fantic trial 125.

An endless knowledge you should apply to go on Master Mind.......Are you sitting comfortably......then i'll begin......Q: How many of the 240 model has Fantic produced?....
