[Fantic 241]

steve goode is as good as any...nice man... for fork seals

500ml atf is ok for gearbox

200-220 in the forks. 5w is ok, more if you are riding harder

use 75:1 if you ride like a trials bike, only fully synthetic, I use elf

use 60:1 if you like trails and 50:1 if you ride it like a motocrosser.

great thanks a lot.

high ,

i have a fantic 241 .i am trying to tidy it up a bit because it's a bit old and tired.i am new to repairing bikes so excuse my ignorance please.the previous owner tells me it needs an oil change and some fork seals and then should be good to go.how much oil and what type should i put in the engine.also what fuel/oil ratio should i use for petrol.lastly(for now at least) where can i get some fork seals and are they easy enough to fit myself or should i get some help.thanks n advance for your help.j.

[what model fantic]

i have just bought a fantic trial bike and would like to know what model it is can anyone help. the engine number is

fantic 450

212 cc

011656*

frame says 450

also on the engine is a circle stamp with 87

i've looked on other info sites and it might be an fm450 which makes it a trial 240. can anyone help to confirm this.

thanks in advance if you can help.
