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?

Hello I'm rebuilding a 240 engine fitting new bearings to the bottom end has anyone got any tips which bearings to fit in cases first do I build crank and gearbox into right hand case then fit left hand case with bearings already in it to crank and gearbox Thanks in advance Dan

Hello all I just bought a 200 Fantic and I'm planning to rebuild it. It does run but when you set off it is flat at the bottom end. Maybe sucking air or something. Is there anywhere on the web where I can get workshop manuals ?? If not I need the following info to get started:- 2 stroke oil type Engine oil type Fork oil type Sparkplug type Specs for Carb inc needle settings and jet sizes etc.. Don't worry there will be much more when I get round to it Thanks in advance David

Hi I'm looking to change the oil on my fantic (fm450) 212 cc engine. How would I go about this and what oil should I use? Many thanks for any info!

Guys, I have a Fantic FM250 (125cc) which has been converted to a 156cc by using a liner. Its got a new Piston and ring fitted / new big end new mains and crank seals. I honed the cylinder a little but didn

Hi Folks, I've recently been trying to chase a 'no spark' condition on my 95 Section. I started with a new plug then checked continuity on the plug wire and finally tested the coil for its respective ohms according to earlier posts here. Though I was getting some inconsistent readings with my meter, I'm thinking the coil is ok. This was even after replacing with another Section coil and still getting no spark against the head. My suspicion now is that it could be the stator. Does anyone know what wires I should test on the stator and if so, what resistance values I should look for? - I believe the wires are white, green, red and yellow. I haven’t yet gotten…

hi guys, i got a new fantic - the fm450 trial 240 pro. nice, but they dont start. a the ignition cables somebody did change. the spark is but not so strong (i thing...) i got ONLY 4 cables from the startor (brown, orange, black and green) the white and red are missing...? the orange goes to the coil combined with a red cable. coil is a DANSI 110445 and the magneto is a DANSI 102325. some idea? dos enybody a FM450 / fantic trial wiring diagram or a repair manual book? thank! p.s. sorry for my englisch....

Some years ago I bought what I was told was a Fantic 200 with a 125cc engine. I've stripped it for a general tidy-up and found that the frame has been repaired by the headstock and had some webs (badly) welded in. The welding has (I think) obscured some of the frame number but it clearly says: FANTIC 430 DGM OM (The 'OM' bit is quite a bit to the right of the 'DGM' - it's actually past the 430 bit but for some reason it doesn't matter how many times I press the space bar when I compose this post, the actual posted version takes them all out and puts the 'OM' right next to the 'DGM'). Whether there's further numbers under the welded s…

Picked up a 309 on ebay,was inside driving distance so I drove over to iowa and hauled it home! $780 bucks!Runs, Has great compression but needs carb cleaning,tires deep tread. Hubs have been spraybombed silver,hopfully pressure washer will strip them back to day-glo yellow!

Could anyone tell me which extractor i.e. which thread will fit the flywheel on my Fantic 200 trial 1984 model. It is possibly around 26mm x 1.5mm although I can't get to measure it properly

My mate has just bought an air cooled Fantic that we were told was a 307. It certainly looks like one as it has been painted reddy orange and white. However on closer inspection it looks like the tank used to be flourecent yellow and the mudguards were blue! This would suggest to me that it may be a 309 (1991 model) but is there anyway we can find out for certain? Are there any differences between the 2 models (307 and 309) apart from colour? Cheers guys

As the title states I'm amassing more unique parts to refurbish my ever faithful 240 pro ... When done it'll be truly worthwhile . But I have one question to put to you all ... My fork sliders and clamps and swing arm have all been powdercoated recently in the standard red , I rattle caned the frame when I first went thru the bike in red . But this time I think I want the previously powdercoated pieces to remain red , But maybe the frame in something different ? It will have a special one piece seat/tank unit in red , so maybe a black base frame ? or should I just stand true to the Fantic colors .... And all the pieces for the aluminum tank on my section have been mad…

Just rode the fantic 50 I got for my daughter ... Cost of trip to Ohio and bike ... $650.00 weekend alone with my 15 year old young lady , priceless ! The look on her face when I got this one owner , still has moulding knubs on the oe pirelli's , bike to fire up and ride around the yard with some fresh premix ... EVEN BETTER !!!! The fork seals let go right away but still what a great bike for my kid ! Will be a real easy restore project ... Glenn

Hi, I'm new to this forum, please bear with me. I'm trying to find out the exact model and year of manufacture of a Fantic trials bike we've just bought, mainly so we can repair and maintain it in good fettle. We believe it's a 250, has monoshock rear end, upside down forks, disc brakes front and rear and an air-cooled engine. We were told it's a 1991 model, but don't know the model number / name or even if what we were told is true. Could anyone help ? We can take and send / post digital pictures if that would help, though I haven't taken any yet, just played on it so far .. It has been re-painted a number of times and has Yamaha stickers on the tank, but that's n…

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

Advise needed please ,just starting out in the world of Trials with a Fantic 303 ... Confused about oils ...mineral or Synthetic ? Mix ratios? Any suggestions would be gratrfully recieved

Hi, I am toying with the idea of buying a Fantic 200 twinshock, subject to actually having a ride on 1 first, as many rave that its THE twinshock to buy. I was wondering if there are any problems obtaining any parts etc. Also are they as good as everybody says. I am a novice rider by the way. Thanks in advance.
