Fantic

Well someone had to do it ! Check out shipdamites 17 page long so far on the same subject but covering YOUR GASGAS TODAY . Good ideas are always simple so ..... Today i was still at work ,but before i came out for my tour ...... on my 1989 245 Mono i rebuilt the front forks and picked up some flourecent orange powder coated parts from Triple s in Bingly and they look err well VERY ORANGE ! What did you do ?

1995 Fantic Section. Thought I would start a thread, as many questions may follow. New clutch and brake masters fitted. Front brake bled up easy. Clutch not so easy. Ended up seized plates was the problem, but not before putting fluid out of the slave cylinder. Before photos. whitehillbilly

Hey all ; I've got a chance to buy a real clean ,low hours 97 section for a reasonable price ... Are they worth the effort or should I just keep to my TS Fantics. I've been thinking of polishing the frame and running minimal plastic for a unique twist , (and to save all the nice oe. plastic ... ) Did they work well ??? Glenn

I very little info on a potential bike i'm looking to buy, but am seeking some advice. The bike is the 240 (model) does this mean engine size and what might be its year of manufacturer? Its been totally rebuilt and in the past 8 years it been ridden once max twice. I know this because when the guy rebuilt the bike from the ground up i had a ride of it and since then its been in his garage. I was thinking of offering him

Hi guys I'm just after your opinions My fantic 305 runs really nice but it does have a noise from the top end. After speaking to people out and about they say this is noreal for fantic? Iv put a video up of the noise my engine makes...... http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/tomburras/media/Mobile Uploads/2017-01/20170102_120521_zpsqamcpdrb.mp4.html Does this sound normal to you guys? Cheers! Tom.

Hi all, right I'm back to square one - I'll try to keep it brief - ish.... Bill pye was confused as to what bike I have although he has not seen it yet. He gave me gaskets etc to fit a 212cc k-roo 1991 but they do not fit. For example, manifold gasket he gave was square, mine is round 2 bolt. The list goes on. The bike definately looks like a 1991 k-roo but we thought it could of been a 250 after what bill said. Being a newbie, I have just come across the engine badge: FM 363 212cc which is a big big breakthrough for me. I'm a newb, it was coated in mud and grease and got missed....oops sorry! I have fitted a PHBH 26 CS carb as some monkey had fitted a 28 BS and wonder…

I have just brought a fantic tx 250 125 trials bike for resto , but i need a little advice . I note the forks have fantic motor on them cast into the slider ?. I see some seem to have marzocchi forks fitted ?. The frame looks to be silver , but i thought they were red ? . The yokes have fantic motor stamped on them? , any idea,s to the age ?. The rear shocks in the picture are they correct? look forward to finding out any information thanks Kevin from London.

Hi I'm leaking oil from the seal behind the front drive sprocket, can this be changed without removing the flywheel and case side ? Thanks

After playing out the other day I washed my fantic and now it won't start! It's had a few days to dry any ideas? Cheers! Tom.

The bike has been sitting for 8 yrs. The bike is like New and the carb was clean as can be. I have no problem kicking it over without the plug in. As soon as I put the plug in, It locks the kick starter in the top position. After 5-6 tries to kick over , it will kick over with lots of compression. After one kick thru , it locks up again for 5-6 kicks. The kick starter feels like it is totally locked it the top position when it takes 5-6 tries. I’m afraid that I will break the kick starter shaft. I also don't have a spark? Do you have any ideas on this? Thanks again Jerry

Just got a email back from Fantic motors and I quote; 'Dear freind of fantic, come to the exhibitoin in milano from 15 to 20 and you will see something very interesting for you ! all my best FANTIC MOTOR' So does anyone have plane fair for me to milano?!?! Will you at least go and post pictures!!! I want one already!!! cheers Glenn

looking for any info on engine type ? i know originally it had a minarelli engine ! can i fit a 80cc air cooled mono engine ( with mounting mods ) or any other suggestions to get this back to where it should be thanks in advance steve

The title says it: I've just become the proud owner of a Fantic 200 in really nice condition. So inevitably I have to start with a few questions to the worthy gentlemen of this forum. What fuel/oil mix should I use? What type of oil? I know brand is a personal preference, but fully synthetic, semi synthetic, mineral? What oil, and how much in the gearbox? Is there anywhere I can get a manual? Preferably a download. No doubt there will be more but these answers would get me started. I'm hoping to do a first trial with it on the day after Boxing Day.

I have my eye on a fantic 200 pro and the people selling say that they are not sure if its a real 200 pro engine in it my be from a 201 mono the bike looks great, have had a go at searching google for info on engine numbers and could not find any tips on what to look for. So if any one could please offer any kind of info on what numbers and letter need to be in the engine number to says it a 200 pro twinshock engine or its a 201 mono or later engine and how do the frame and engine numbers match up number wise. so i can tell that fantic put that frame and engine together when they built it. I would be very greatful for your time and advice

Hi all, I would just like to start by saying hi, I only registered yesterday after looking at my old Fantic 200 (1980 TX350 i believe) sitting my garage and decided to do something about it. I am having a quite serious problem with the engine. About 6 -7 years ago my brother came off the bike, jamming the throttle wide open for a 20 - 30 seconds. And since it has never been able to start. I have replaced the Plug and the plug wire and it seems to be sparking fine. I have plenty of Fuel in the tank so that does not seem to be the issue. When I kick the bike over it seems to have compression, its only 156cc but its still quite hard to kick. I have split the top casing…

Found this on http://www.fantic.nl/

I have only made one so far. It needs testing in exmoor. Fits perfectly, hope it doesnt melt. weighs about the same as the original. The silicon tool cost me 450 quid!!!!! Lee waddayathink?

After competing last year on a modern bike, I've bitten the bullet and have purchased a 240 twin shock to have a go at classic twin shock events. I know the history of the bike as it was owned by a mate of my brothers and has sat in my mums garage for 3 years. Im reasonably OK with the mechanics as I rode one as a teen. So my dilemma? Before offering to buy the bike (i paid

So, which in your opinion is the best twinshock Fantic? Some say the Mineralli rear kick 200's, others the 240's forward kick and others say the Pro versions I rode against the early Fantic 200s in the early 80's and they seemed to go well Are Fantics the best twinshock bikes or are there any other marques/brands that are better Let us know your opinions?
