Fantic

Hey everyone! I've been searching for the perfect Gulf of Mexico themed t shirt to wear on my next coastal run and I'm having a tough time finding quality options. I want something that captures that deep blue water vibe, maybe with a vintage nautical or highway feel to it. Do any of you have recommendations on where to find the best Gulf of Mexico t shirts made for bikers? I'm looking for durable fabric that holds up on long rides, great graphics, and a relaxed fit under a jacket.

Hi has anyone got a rubber seat for a Fantic 301 1986 please??

So by chance I’ve been looking at trick exhausts 😔 I knew I’d start wanting one. The Grib and the JP. Yeah I know the 200 doesn’t really need one but there’s plenty of things in life we don’t need. They look bloody nice on the bike and theirs the weight saving to consider too Anyhow what’s your thoughts on these two or any other not mentioned Do they do what they say on the can or is it just bling and weight saving?

Hello everyone, I am selling mine and my dad's classic Fantic 125 trials bikes and I am after some advice. We took part in some classic trials a few years ago now just for a bit of fun and they have been stored in my garage unused for the past three years. They were both running when they went into storage but not now, probably due to the old fuel in the tanks. One is very original (full original exhaust) and the other is in better condition (semi-restored by my dad, new footpegs, steering lock cut off and a few other bits). Not sure on the year for either bike. I've looked under the frame and can see the stamps but can't make out a year on either bike. My dad se…

Hi What are the differences between a 1982 Fantic 125 and a 240. Is the frame etc the same with just the capacity increase ? thank you

The flywheel was jammed on my 241 engine after shearing the woodruff key. I finally got it off and split the cases to see what was required for a full rebuild. Unfortunately, after 20 years in storage, there has been water ingress. This is only on the magneto side and the Crank is badly pitted on the bearing shoulder and where the oil seal fits. It would be a shame not to be able to save another 241 from the heap. Has anyone got anything to help or ideas?

Hi All Replacing crank seals and bearings in a 240 because it smokes excessively from exhaust and had less oil in the gearbox on draining it after 4 trials. My question is which way round should the left hand inner crank seal go in? The one in the bike was fitted spring / open / concave face towards the middle of the engine also on the picture attached (from an old italian magazine test) although not a good image looks like it may be in this way too. But exploded diagrams of the engine show the seal flat side with numbers on it facing inward towards the middle of engine / crank chamber. The reason I ask is that I have completed rebui…

Hi again guys thanks lemur for ur reply Iv replaced the full gasket kit which I got for £11 from eBay genuine Dellorto seals Im a little confused about the adjustment screws on the 305 both are on the left hand side of the bike 1 in the centre which iv looked and is the tick over that’s tapered at the end and hits the bottom of the slide to adjust its height all fine so far now here’s where my carb seems to differ from all pics I can find on the net and books manuals ect they all seem to have another screw I’m assuming a fuel screw to the left of the idle one close to the inlet side of the carb but mines is on the right hand side of the idle and closer to the air filter w…

I was looking for a replacement fuel cap for my 1980 Fantic 200 and came across a French website that is making them for every model except the 200. Are the fuel caps the same for the 125, 200 and 250 or is the 200 the outlier?

Hello all can someone tell me the head bolt torque settings for the Fantic 240?

I am looking to buy new plastic for my dirtbike (fantic xx125) and thought buying it directly from an authorized dealer was way too expensive (330€) Does anyone know a brand or anything that makes plastic for the fantic mx bikes? thanks a lot.

Hi,i have just got a old Fantic 249r 1994 ,forward kick start ,but the bike came with no clutch lever or cable ,please can anyone tell me if it is a hydraulic or cable,also to fit either of these do i have to remove the flywheel,and does anyone know were i can get a workshop manual ,Thank you .Terry.

Hi All, Does anyone have a copy of the Parts or owners manual for 241? Any info gratefully accepted. ta..

Looking for a 200cc barrell and piston if anyone knows or has one? Cheers Doug

Hi everyone. I'm new to trial and the same with Fantic bikes. (Just bought one) I have disassembled my forks, (I believe it's Betor) and I am not sure if the internals is correct, or it has been altered. I have found different pictures, and workshop manual, but nothing looks similar to mine. I have tried to place them in order on the attached pictures. Does it look right? Best Regards.

Hello, can anyone please tell me the correct wheelbase measurement for a Fantic 200 twin shock. I need to check to see if a frame has stretched. Thanks

Hi I am looking for advice regarding the amount of free side play at the side of the big end between the big end and the Crank flywheel. I have just pressed in a new crank pin and the width across the flywheel is the same as the width before I rebuilt it, at the moment the side play on the big end is 0.3mm(0.012in). I would be grateful if anyone could let me know if this is ok or if they have a workshop manual what the min/max tolerances are. Many Thanks.

Hi I'm new to trials . I don't know anything about any of the trials bikes . I have came across a 1995 Fantic 249 R that is for sale . I think I am going to need a new top end . Piston rings maybe a cylinder and a head I'm not sure . Before I go and buy it I was wonder about how to go about getting engine parts for this model . Could someone give me a history on the engine that's used for this year ? Can I put other engines in this frame from other company's if parts for this company is a problem ? Just any info on this year would be great . What years did this model run through that the parts are all the same ?

Hi folks, I'm just in the process of rebuilding a rear kick 200 and I've found someone has been in before! The gearbox is missing thrust washers/shims on both shafts. I can find the part numbers but no sizes? anybody have a source or know the exact size of 250.43.8060. There was no washer in between the main bearing and crank number 250.42.5090 either? I'm being careful and taking my time building it so don't want to omit parts. I'll check end float etc as I get it back together. Cheers gentlemen.

Hi, so my fantic 300 1984 has been shearing woodruff keys not that often but a couple of times?? I used to have a 200 that did it a few times over a few years. Is this just a fantic thing of is there something else going on?? Thanks
