With a top quality synthetic premix oil 70 : 1 should be fine , If your using dinosaur based oil , 50 : 1 And make sure you use PRE-MIX oil , not oil injection oil !!!! Have fun !!!

Let me look in my pile of 240 stuff , I know I have a pristine 300 seat , but I think I've got another good 240 seat too . PM me and we can figure out the details . Glenn

Not really , (if your manufacturing them ... ) Glenn

I don't know the honda spec's per say , but experience in go -karts and spec miata racing might want to try a anti - reversion cone just inside the headpipe . If you can get the rest of the exhaust to flow with only a couple pounds of back pressure , a little cone inside the headpipe of a four stroke helps scavenging of the exhaust gases greatly ... It made a dramatic difference in the torque curves for both a 440 Mopar that I got into the winter nationals , a 1.6 litre miata that set a few track records , and my kids briggs and stratton powered gokart ... but watch your plugs closely , as it will lean out the engine just a tick ... Glenn , have fun if you can ...

Fix the bearings and leave the electrics alone !!! And show us a photo and we may be able to help ... And gasgas gear box's are actually pretty ingenious ... for there intended use .! glenn

Tony your having too much fun in your new home !!! I hope to be there for a visit next year ... Glenn

Great ... This just reminded me that my "New" '97 section needs tires front and rear , Mainly 'cause their real stiff from old age Glenn

On both sets of 35mm Forks I've got for my 240 there is a very thin plate that inserts into the pinch gap to prevent distortion and cracking of the fork leg , I'd bet these are missing on most bikes by now ... Glenn

make sure the flywheel and crankend are lapped together correctly , and the keyway is only there to locate the flywheel , the flywheel is secured by the press/interference fit of the crank and flywheel with the proper torque on the nut. if it comes off without a puller something isn't fitting together correctly ... Glenn

Maybe one of the last 300 pro's that was converted to a mono by a dealer , back in the day ... http://fantic240pro.pagesperso-orange.fr/UkGallerie.htm Scroll to the bottom of this page , that's where the mono Fantics started , ( I Think ) Glenn

:hyper: :hyper: Classic !!!! :rotfl:

As above , Take a few photo's , pay attention to how the spring , bushing , and washers are installed , and just do one at a time !!! My 13 yr. old can do it ....

Check the basket as in the Beta Fix , and make sure you've got a Domino lever (it's a geometry thing ) as they are the only ones that work correctly ... And 240's slip a wee bit in 6th from new , not much to do about that . My clutch action improved drastically with Silkolene light gear oil , and got even better when I changed it to Redline ... at the suggestion of another engineer buddy of mine

Heck Cope , That's just a pickup line here in SC. ....

Great info for the memory banks . I like it ! Like I found with my old Fantics , Redline gear oil works best for me ... Glenn

I can relate ....!!!!$$$$

C C ... I don't think the tank will shrink back , but maybe emptying it and letting it completely dry out may help !? I thought of applying a light vacuum to it after it is totally dry (small vac. pump like we mech.'s use for testing things .) with it sitting in the sun , but that may distort it in other ways ... Glenn

Hey B40rt .... I think you've got to much time on your hands ...... Glenn Now I'm thinking about Benny Hill $hit too ....???? And yellow snow !!!!!

Great ... now I have to dig out my Monty Python movies ... I wonder if my kids will get it ???? spam spam spam spam....

But I don't see the roller throttle tube bar end plug anymore ... Glenn

I must just be lucky , I've got a tiny airport about 5 mins. from my house and I go there enough I'm on first name basis ..., But I buy ave gas for all my toys , race cars and bikes .... They just can only put it in a plane or legal fuel can , not directly into any other type of vehicle ... And on 5/18/13 the last 5 gallons of 110 I got was $5.80 a gallon , cheap insurance for my bikes ... In fact I'm gonna take my bosses '67 427ci Vette convertible out there with a 5 gallon can and fill it 5 gallons at a time ... Just 'cause it doesn't get driven much at all , and even the race fuel goes bad fairly quickly , and there is nothing worse than 700hp detonation from sour fuel !!!! He tried 5 gals in his blown big block 67 chevelle and decided it's the way to go ! Glenn

I'm gonna go out and ride some in my yard today after grocery shopping . Hopefully I can beat the afternoon t-storms in my lake ! (i mean yard ...) May just end up spending the day in my little shop fiddling about and drinking a beer or twee ... Glenn

HHMMMM .... I drink enough beer ... But the only practice time I usually get is about 15 mins. before a event .... Man I hate when life gets in the way of trials ... Glenn

Mike @ the trials shop in NY supplied me with a new for my '97 section . My old one still works But I thought if it's available , I should have a spare ... The metal to metal thermo switch is about the only hokey thing I've found on my section , I may change it to a inline universal (in the upper rad hose) style one anyways , as I've found that mine never shuts off once it turns on ... and I haven't even ridden the bike hard on a hot day yet ! But I have yet to disassemble the bike and make it new again , so it may have other issue's too ! And we need to know where in the world you are , then we can help better ! Glenn

That sounds like what my kid did to the Fantic 50 ... Like he was testing it to see how long it could go WFO in 2nd gear ... Then the piston broke ... And he wonders why he can't ride my 240 or section ...?????? Maybe common sense improves with age ? I HOPE !!!!! Glenn
