Bultaco

As i stated in another post hopefully in the not too distant future i will be getting round to doing the Sherpa up. Shes a 199B a bit tatty in a well used kind of way but just paint and decals as everything works and it's all there. Well looking around the Bultaco stand at the Classic off road show on Saturday i was wondering about "modifying" the swing arm and mounting to make it more like the works bikes or do i just leave it original? http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y117/NVT160/DSCF0053.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y117/NVT160/DSCF0052.jpg Was thinking of riding it in some twinshock events next year. I know it will be outclassed but i do like riding the old…

Though Id post a couple of pics of my newly restored m80 sherpa. I know its not competitive in the twin shock class, but I think it was one of the best looking trials bikes ever built, and besides that trickest bike in the world wouldnt win with me on board. Hope you like it. Cheers Mark p.s anybody out there got a triangular silencer for this bike.

Ok guys I've taken the plunge and bought a early bultaco, as far as I know its a 71 (k reg) but it needs setting up correctly, it starts but its woolly! as in the revs are all over the place! It seems like air is entering somewhere. The inlet manifold rubber and the airfilter hose has got some splits in them? so these will need replacing for a start! An amal carb 627 type L428 is fitted and looks quite a new one! Is this the correct carb? whats the correct spark plug and ign timing? Also I've included some pics as the front brake is much bigger than standard it looks like a mk1 cota front wheel? what do you think? I've had a m80 front wheel in the garage for ages (lu…

Been raiding the photo albums, and thought this may be appreciated!! The young Italjetfan is about 6 months old. I actually tried to recreate the shot on a different Bulty when my daughter was the right age. only to find my Mum had thrown Dad's trials overalls away about a month earlier!!! Shame... Did the Bulty survive? All the best,

Hi Can anyone tell me if the carb on my 78 350 should be an Amal with a flat plate choke lever and if it is should the gap between the airbox and carb be very small? Cheers

Has any one got a Bultaco Sherpa 340 Vesty Replica 199 b Or any pictures.

just bought my first ever trial bike to have a go at twinshock trialling and need someone to point me in the right direction so as i can source a complete seat for a 1978 bultaco 350! has anybody any ideas as bultaco uk dont list seats as spares? cheers

What's the best two stroke oil for my 325 Sherpa(159) and what ratio do you recommend?

Have just finished fitting Italkit Ignition system to my Sherpa T250 199A, with a few mods it is surely the best system on the market. The simple removal and replacement of different weighted flywheels, makes it easy to setup your bike for all sorts of different terrains {I need all the help I can get} anyway thought you all may be interested if someone is in the market for such an item. I bought it from spain...

Usually I post the ebay dogs, remember that great Fantic? However this ones special. Or is just the price that's special? You decide.... Ebay item no:4617401115

Whats the best oil for a 159 Primary Drive? and how 'draggy' should the clutch be? Thanks Penno

Doesnt it look fun..........well its either that or a death trap

So does anybody know the length the springs should be in a pair of Bultaco Sherpa Betor forks? Just want to know if they have sagged at all. Oh yeah the bikes a 1981 340 199B but i think they are all the same forks. thanks

Over at the recent Bristol Classic bike show in Shepton Mallett, saw this & knew there'd be plenty of you guys interested!!......

I have just finished bolting together my M91 sherpa and have a query at the moment it has no airbox on and is being run with an open carb (not ideal I know) but I noticed exhaust gas coming out of the carb is this normal and if not what would it point to the engine has been professionally rebuilt (new piston, mains, big end etc) and the carb is the original amal 627 Thanks Pete

For those of you who expressed an interest a few months ago: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Bultaco-She...047703497QQrdZ1

Seem to recall reading somewhere that Bultaco Frontera footrests can be fitted to the 199a, what is the difference between these and the std footrests and do they fit straight on without alteration.

Not sure whether this is the right forum, but there seems to be more knowledge of twin shock Bultacos here. Just acquired a fairly original (85) Alpina, and I could do with some advice and information. Does anyone out there have one? These are my pressing questions Where can I buy new/secondhand bits? Does anyone have a handbook for sale? Were the rear shocks longer than the Sherpa? Should there be a foam filter in the air box? Does anyone have one? Why did I buy it? Perhaps Big John's disorder is spreading? Thanks Geoff

I recently aquired a 199A which I plan to ride vintage with. I have two questions. It has the original (skinny) Betor shocks which need to be rebuilt. Are there rebuild kits available for these shocks and if so where can I get them. If I were to put a new set of shocks on this bike what are some of the recommendations? Thanks

I have adjusted the clutch on my m80 as per the manual, but when I start it sometimes the kickstart engages and other times it will slip on the clutch. can anybody tell me if this is common, and how to cure this problem. Thanks Mark
