Yes , I'd hve to agree ! The advertised HP. For my trusty 240 fantic when new was 18 hp and 23.54 Nm of torque at 5500 rpm . and my 212 cc fantic has more hauvo's than any ty 250 I've ever riden !! IMHO ! Glenn

I can live with the rules basically as written , Great job Dan !!!! Now just get all sanctioned events on the same page ! Glenn And Dabsalot I think that means NO rokons !!!!

I Had to try !!!! I hope you get it !

Heaven help us Glenn

WAIT a minute here !!! I'll swap a buildable 240 and a beta zero for it , and the zero is already in oregon!!! Glenn Aw come on !!!!

Brian !!! We met at Shooting Creek last Sept. didn't we ?

Steve ; my boy's are 7 and 10 and my daughter is 13 , and as a single dad in todays world w/ no support I sometimes feel guilty about my bikes cause I started riding at 5 or 6 . But that was a different world back then . And I'd have to get 3 to keep things fair !!!! But dad at 46 years old has to have somefun somehow !!!! Thanks Glenn

And Steve ; I looked thru those shots when they first went up ! how old is matt ? I wish I could get my 2 boys and my daughter some little trials bikes and get someone else to teach them the basics of riding !!! Cause I know I'd be to critical and scared at the same time !!! And I've got a Fantic jersey like yours (i hope) on the way from france , cause I have to match my bike , RIGHT ! Glenn

Lee, I have to get a Wes silencer before I can clean and repack it ! I've cleaned the original one to the best of my ability without cutting it open and welding it back up ! and both of my 25mm carbs have 98 mains I haven't had a chance to look at the other carbs yet .and I have to get some delorto gaskets before I take them apart again ! all the gaskets are O.E. on my fantics for sure... I'm going to try to make a ITSA event at the B&J ranch in sept. so I'll get bob to have a silencer waiting for me then , or beforehand. Thanks ! Glenn

Thanks Lee , I think I'll get some gaskets and jets and start play with my carbs ! I hope I can keep her single kick starting hot or cold with a different carb set up ! Right now it runs great except that when you go wide open for more than a few seconds (steep long hills for example ! ) it stumbles just a bit , I can let off and back on and it will be OK for another little bit ... And yes I've played with the float level , new filter and petcock to assure full fuel supply ! I also found a K&N gauze air filter to fit comfortably in the stock air box and seal up quite well with some 1/4 inch closed pore self adhesive weather strip on its edges !! (k&n pn#E3211).With the needle clip in the stock location it made a serious difference in throttle response , really crisp for a old girl . I think a new Wes silencer and some carb experiments and it'll be even better. !!! Thanks Glenn

Thanks Heath ; and yes it's cramped in the hotbox with the 2 SWM's in there too ! I'll have to build a new shop before I start on restoring the really ugly 90 beta zero ! It's to much work to move all the bikes out just so I can get to my meager home toolbox. And excuse the mess !!! And this is the next victom ! (yes that is mold on the engine!) Glenn

My olympus never spits a pic. less than 200kb ! or is it me ? oh well there is one pic. of the old girl up as my personal photo ....

As she now is presentable to the world ! Has anyone tried the njb Trikshoxs yet ? and does any one out there know the jetting for a 26mm delorto for the 240 ? I have 2 here and would like to try one instead of the 25mm that came on her. but both carbs are off tl320 swm's and I don't know what the jetting should be for my bike or what it is for a 300 ... And heres some pics of the old basket case !!! Glenn Why can't I get my picture's to attach ???? Glenn

That seems to say it all , very nice , but why didn't I ever see a trials bike in the time I lived in CA.? I went to a Big event in johnson valley about 10 years ago and that was all I ever heard or saw of it there! which sucks ,cause I lived in arrowbear and yucca valley and wish I had gotten back into it years ago !!! after the fires of 03 I moved to the east coast and rediscovered trials, but now all the events and good places to ride are 4 to 10 hrs away ! And I miss socal weather! I HATE HUMIDITY!!!!!! Maybe I should move my trusty fantic back to palm springs .... Glenn

Can't you blokes see that it's plainly set up for your average 8 foot tall trials rider ?!?!

The riding on furniture idea must have come from the bikes in house's thread on here !!! Entertaining nonetheless !!!! Glenn

To Cool Thanks Glenn

Thanks Brian ... And how is the new edition ? Glenn

Lee ; I'm just curious what spark plug and gap you run on a 240 w/stock carb , and what other carbs do you know of that work well on the trusty 240's ??? Thanks , Glenn

I just saw the clip of fuji in section 3 ... he didn't look to be having much fun ! Glenn

Thanks Andy !!! and was fuji having a bad day ? Great way to pass a rainy day inside w/me kids Thanks again, Glenn

OH WELL ; I guess I have to get ahold of Bossisimo Motori ? in Italy and try to get one then ... The Search is on !!!! Cheers, Glenn

I know I love my 240 , From the way it starts to the way it handles and even the way the old girl looks ! And Lee : where did you get the fantic jersey ? I NEED ONE !!!! and Martin do you know of any parts diagrams like you have for the hearty swm's available for my trusty 83 240 pro ?? Thanks , Glenn

Do They Have A low / no oil presure sensor ? If they do that may very well be what the problem was ! Or maybe it just wanted you to rub it's tank the right way .... Glenn

Loose as in the head stock move's , there is no oil the forks (but the springs are real strong !!!), The controls are all out of wack , and I think the swingarm bushings and or rear wheel bearings are shot... But I'll play with it and make it right as rain again. cause right now it has no directional stability and is dangerous to ride !!! Glenn
