Currently running a Fantic 303 in the air cooled class but have developed a problem with spark plugs only lasting approx 25 sections, plug is a b8es, mix is 70-1 synthetic, no excessive smoke from exhaust, once replaced bike runs fine, anyone experienced the same ? all advice most welcome, Mike.
Can you fit a tubed front tyre onto a tubeless front rim as fitted to 305 model Fantics. I will need to drill the rim for a security bolt. Will it stay on or slip down in to the well once the pressure is reduced. Thanks
Hi...I've got the same issue with a 303, did you get the problem sorted in the end ? rgds Mike.
Just bought a Fantic 303 that needs a new front tyre; tyre fitted is a tubeless Michelin, are tubeless front trials tyres still available or will I need to have the rim replaced to accept a tubed tyre ?
Montesa 315's and Betas from around 96 - 99 had a Grimeca front master cylinder the lever of which might fit your bikes. Might be a good place to start if you could get hold of one to try.
Cheers for that I will try and get hold of one to try
Hi....Currently have a Fantic 303 and a TY250 Mono with Grimeca front disc conversions, each one has a broken front brake lever; does anyone know how I can go about obtaining replacements ?
I had a 350 version that had a similar problem and it turned out after a lot of expensive trys to be the 3 pin connector in the wiring under the tank. When the bike got warm this expanded and broke the connection between both parts of the loom until it cooled and contracted allowing the electrics to work
best thing to do was to cut both and wire direct, worked perfect after that
cheers for that I will try the mod over the weekend.
Hi...My TY250R mono starts 2/3 kick and ticks over fine, once I kill the engine walk a section and go back to kick it over it wont start, I've tried leaving the petrol on/off but no joy, anybody else experienced similar ?
Hi, Can anyone advise if the TY250R Final Drive Guard Protectors are still available, Sammy Miller no longer list one in the catalogue ? also are there any wide footrests currently available that fit to the original mounts ?
Hi, I've just bought a 1988 TY250R Mono that has a alloy / magnesium mag cover fitted (L/H)the cover has the intials N/B embossed on it, any info on it's origin most welcome ? also the bike has a shirty front disc conversion(Grimeca caliper)are pads for this conversion currently available ?
