Fantic

Hi everyone, as above... What gearing is the prefered choice when using a 520 chain set up? Clubman/intermediate rider, doing classic trials, Kia rounds etc. My bike has 11/51 gearing. Have recently purchased the bike and haven't had chance to ride it in anger yet, but wondering if 11/51 will be too tall. Thanks in advance.

Hi guy's, any one know what size the front wheel spindle nut is? Lost it and need one asap. Thanks John.

Hi dose anyone have or know of where I can get new or in good condition fantic 300 1984 badges for the side panels/petrol tank covers? the silver and black ones there are some on ebay but they don't look like they are very good. thanks for the info

Hi everyone. Is it possible to convert a 200 pro into a 240 and vice versa? Are the bottom ends of the engine the same, i.e. gearbox ratios, crank, con rod etc? Would the barrels be a straight swap, and would you need to change the exhaust and carb? I know all the pro model frames are the same and I'm curious to find out if it's possible. Thanks in advance.

Evening all. Do modern wide foot rests fit the standard Fantic hangers. I've just spent ages trying to find modern foot rest adverts that contain dimensions? Massive selection to chose from but no outside dimensions shown for the bracket end where the bolt slides through. I don't really want to take a punt on £35.00 foot rests and find I have to modify the frame and hangers.

Hi All .. I recently bought a fully restored Fantic 241 trial bike monoshock 1986 progress 1 version. I have used it only twice and I have a leak coming from the gear box.. It seems to be under the glass eye level rather than the gasket itself.. It's leaking quite a bit now so want to get it fixed asap as i want to use the bike. I have spoken to someone who fixes bikes but he doesn't seem to know anything about the Fantic, and has asked me to get a filter and some oil? I don't know what filter i would be looking for, for the 241 although I have ordered a new glass eye and a full gasket set for a 241... Can anyone also recommend a good ATF fluid which woul…

Hello People, as above, I have always had probs with up shifting regardless of oil type(mainly 1st to 2nd). I've put up with it in the past but now want to try and resolve it, nothing dismantled yet until I know what I should be looking for, so your advice please. Basically, gear shifting has always been notchy(up and down) and selecting 2nd gear from neutral is always fraught with danger as it almost always jumps back to neutral after applying load, changing from 1st to 2nd mid-section is also out of the question as I never know if it's going to hold 2nd, in both these mentioned situations 2nd gear has felt like it engaged ok via the foot but has jumped to neutral a…

I just purchased a Fantic 240 trials that I intend to do a full restoration on. The bike came with NOS Marzochi shocks on the rear. are these worth keeping or should I replace with a more modern setup like Rockshox's?

Anyone got suggestions on the best clutch cable route ona series 1- 303? I bought the bike in an interesting state... Its starting to take shape finally just not sure where manufacturers intended cable to run. Advice appreciated....

Hello everyone .....i wanted to put a new rear sprocket on my 305 ,am using a 39 tooth one at present but feel maybe moving a bit quick in 1st .......most of our trials are 1st gear type sections the small sprocket is a 12 ...it is new and i dont want to change this . wondered what most 305 riders use thats all thanks in advance for any replies cheers Murray

As above, from what I've read in forums and some modern day magazine's it appears the mk2 was a limited edition model to fill the gap before their monoshock was ready to hit the market and also a tribute to Frenchman Michaud who won the SSDT in '84 and finished a close 2nd in the World title that same year, which would explain the white shrouds with blue and red stripes. Can anyone say with any certainty what was different over the original red shrouded 300. Obvious things that I'm aware of are the white shrouds, relocated chain tensioner and lack of a rear frame hoop, but I've also heard of things like relocated foot pegs, different porting and steepened fork angle…

I have a 200 Fantic with a really mashed up brake rod. Anybody know where I can get a new one? If not I'll make one, has stainless steel rod been used successfully bearing in mind the couple of bends needed to navigate the shock.

My 13 year old daughter is just getting into riding and has moved up from a Sherco 2 speed auto to an old 80 fantic air cooled mono which was the lads. He was happy to just tazz about on this, but I think she is going to want to compete. I've looked at other small bikes and they seem as useless as this one so, as I have a 125 engine I thought I would slot it in. I've seen some reports of people doing this years ago to create a useful schoolboy mount, but no technical detail. Can anyone remember if, they used the 80 or 125 exhaust and air box. Anything else that would be helpful???

Hi I have a 1990s Fantic that I will break for parts. Where do I post it? Ie under classified or better under the Fantic bike specific section?

Hi, where can i found the rubber for the sidepanels? Its between A and C on the top of the tank.

Hi "Edited 01.06.2019 with some new info! I just got this old Fantic that had been stood outdoors behind a barn for years. My first issue is to identify it properly and find a parts list + source of parts. The decals says; "Fantic 212 Coach" - I think.... The engine type says FM361 and is stamped 124,4cc. *After lots of good help online it seems that the engine is from a 125.3 and probably the front forks as well from the same 125. *Since both engine and front turns out to be not the original ones, this will now be broken for parts. I will post it in the proper section. Cheers Kjell Norway

Hi there Mr brother recently brought me 1978 Fantic TX250 for my 40th birthday. We used to ride them with our cousins in the Italian Alps 30 years ago! So this was a bit of a childhood dream fulfilled really. The bike seems pretty solid, and in relatively good condition from what I can see. Although I am a newbie. Its certified as totally original condition with original parts etc + It runs well too. Other than the gearbox leaking some fluid (looks like a gasket), which I'm trying to suss out, its a well loved birthday present and little project. To hopefully restore, a bit more in time too. Anyway, good to meet you all and any help and advise would b…
