  1. The wires down at the front of the engine , below the fuel tank and visible through the sump guard .

    You may find them corroded or broken 

     

    Happened to us during a trial , just stopped like the switch was turned off !

     

    Sump off to get at the wires , cut out the green mouldy ones , solder in new wire , sorted !

  2. Thanks fourex.

     

    Thats what I wanted to hear and exactly what I have done , the new Delorto carb will  be with me tomorrow .

    Great service and knowledge from Eurocarb , they knew what a Fantic 240 was !

     

  3. Fantic 240

     

    I have finished a rebuild but the original carb is shot .

     

    Can anyone help with the settings and size if fitting an OKO ?

     

    I had an OKO 26mm that I managed to squeeze on with a K&N type filter , ran ok but not perfect .

     

    I also had a new 25mm Delorto , it ran good  using the standard air box , I borrowed  that from a 200 , not sure if the 200 and 240 are different. 

     

    If you have the OKO fitted , what did you do with the airbox or filter set up ? 

     

    Or , do I just get a new standard 240 Delorto using the oe air box ?

     

    Thanks for any help 

  4. Hi

    I have a Beta Factory , you are not alone in the fight against water in the box .

    It is a problem with the bike , deep water , it will find its way in .

    I have spoken to  Beta owners many have had or have the problem .

    I have done the following to cure it .

    Front fender mud extender 

    Plastic guard that runs up the gap between the silencer and air box 

    Plastic clear filter cover , it is not for the latest Evo models but its easy to make fit , I had to drill a few holes in it to allow enough air in , obviously holes allow water in but its harder to get through !

    Ram  water filter sponge in all the gaps round the air box , shock area etc  ( it still gets enough air )

    Tape over the hole where the electrics are stored 

     

    My secret weapon , I have velcroed a super absorbent pad into the bottom of the box . This soaks up anything that might get passed all the other defences .

     

    I have tested to extreme by splashing my way through deep water , all the above did the job !

     

    Good luck

  5. Hi

    Fitted a new IRC for the trial on Sunday ?

    First lap it was perfect , liked it a lot , very frosty ground but was working well .

    Second lap , flat !

    Luckily I had a spare wheel .

    I read a while back that IRC were having issues with deflating but it was reported to be a bad batch , any updates or advice ?

    I have a nearly new Gas Gas factory , running at 3psi .

  6. Hi

    More than likely been on its side and had full revs causing it to sieze .

    Very common , you are doing the right thing in having it repaired with a new piston .

    Fit a lanyard if you dont want to take any chances .

  7. I just received one of the same units , its exactly the same , wont line up .

    I called them just now but no one technical to speak to , they say they will ring me back >

    Lets see !

    Its an easy fix however its a new part , I should not be having to machine anything .

  8. Hi

    I have one of each.

    Both reliable and well made.

    The newer model is definitely better with all the upgrades but it depends greatly on the amount of use .

    An older model with little use will be better than a worn out newer model .

    You can retro fit a 4 pot AJP brake easily , the rear brake on the old model is fine.

    As long as the suspension is in good order you wont know the difference at clubman level.

    A new dimpled set of metal clutch plates will sort out the clutch drag.

    All pretty much common sense.

    They are great bikes , ahead of their time , in the right hands can easily win Nationals.

    Good luck in finding the right bike .
