Here are my three. All 350 Sherpa Ts. A M159, a M199 and a M199B with a M151 engine. I mainly use the 199B although I`m letting 2 others ride the 159 and the 199 this weekend at our Twinshock Masters event.
Seeing as the MAR forks are Betor and I`m assuming the TR80 ones are also Betor they should be the same thread. The longer legs will fit. Just be careful with which damper rods you use. I don`t know if the later model ones had more travel in them.
Hi Ninja. The rear brake backing plate is the same on all of the Sherpas from around the model 92 or so I believe. Any Bultaco with a 125mm brake will be the same. Some of the earlier ones had 2 pins on the non cam side of the shoe..
If you are in England just buy one from In Motion Trials. Have a look on their webpage. Nearly all of the Femsa flywheels use the same size. I know the 100cc Lobitos use the normal Femsa pullers..
The red wire is your brake light one. I can`t remember what the grey one is for. I will be able to look tomorrow though. I do have an owners manual for a M213 but it isn`t here.
Yes it does jofritz. Use the timing information for the Alpinas for your Lobito. You will need a Femsa flywheel puller. Points gap is .40 mm and the timing will be around 2.9 mm BTDC. I can`t remember what the timing is for a 175 Lobito. That will work though.
I have NJB Trix shocks on my 199B Sherpa T and they are great. I also have NJB Expert shocks on my 159 and 199 and they are also very good. The Trix ones are better but more expensive. I also bought 2 pairs of Experts for a mate to go on his 199A and his 199B and he really likes them too!
Pull your tap apart and make sure it is clean inside the tap. The bit that turns it on and off again should come out. The tap rubber often gets old and rotten.
They are made of either polyethylene or polypropelene which makes them very porous. So that means you have to line the insides which often doesn`t last long and use a plastic primer and flex aid on the outside. Cheaper and easier to just buy one off In Motion for a hundred odd
pounds.
Try Classic Bultaco for some rings. www.classicbultaco.com. It is the longer piston skirt which goes towards the front of the barrel. On a Mahle there should be an arrow on the top of the piston which points towards the exhaust port.
If you have a look in the Bultaco forums on this site the RAL codes are in there somewhere. There are PPG paint codes on www.bultacoclassic.com under Tech Tips.
