  4. Tracking registration Details Fantic 200

    in Fantic

    Posted

    I Have Fantic 200 which I believe may have been registered with the Dvla ,unfortunately I have no Documents other than a bill of sale

    The bike was laid up for more than 20 years.

    it does have an original rear mudguard with what looks like number plate mounting holes

    So can I find out from the frame number 000xxxx or DGm19xxxOM

    if it has been registered previously 

    Thanks

  5. Beta 2t Fuel tap

    in Beta

    Posted

    Just changing my leaking Beta  fuel tap(again)

    When I insert the tap and filter into the tank , the filter tube seems far to long to be accommodated.

    It is like it hits the top of the tank and needs to bend.

    Shoving and twisting gets it in. 

    But it doesn't feel right.

    I know about the left hand ,right hand threads on the tap body.

    (No innuendo meant)

     

     

  7. Fantic 200 Jumping out of first gear

    in Fantic

    Posted

    On occasion my Fantic 200 rear kick jumps out of bottom gear.

    I have been advised it's likely to be the spring holding the location bearing under the selector drum.

    I have stripped the engine and removed the gear cluster and inspected all components, no obvious damage , gears and dogs are sound and no selector fork damage.

    I wish to replace the spring in case it's worn , but how do I find a replacement, does any one have a spec or a source, I believe there is no official stock left

    Any suggestions

  8. Fantic 200 Frustration

    in Fantic

    Posted · Edited by piggywiggywoo

    Been doing a lot of testing today, and the bikes now starting when hot ,Hooray

    Out of desperation , I rechecked the float heights , spot on 23.5 mm

    Then I removed the needle jet from the carb and replaced it with one I had tried in the old carb.

    Both where marked 200 

    But were massively different in size.

    One needle fitted and the other was like a cock in a sock.

    So I went for the larger one and starting is now improved if not perfect.

    Thanks for all the help and suggestions

    Removed the kill switch but still no joy

    Have now tried two known working stator sand still the same problem

    Its weird when hot I can leave the bike ticking over happliy and it will run all day.

    Stop it , but then can not get it started.

    Not great when walking sections

    Removing the plug it's a good coffee colour but dry.

    Would indicate a fuelling issue , but how comes it will tick over.

    Could it be drawing fuel thru when running , but not creating enough suck from the kickstart procedure

    The new dellorto carb floats are plastic as is the arm I don't think it's possible to adjust the float level

    The tank tap appears ok, the needle valve is new and the carb filter clean?

    Very Frustrated

    Interesting your comments eddie1 about the kill switch.

    I have been testing a lot over many hours and at times thought I'd cured the problem

    Usually I would change an ignition component and then test. Often without the kill switch wired

    Its comming off again today to rule it out, maybe I have overlooked the obvious.

    Feetupfun thanks for your suggestions about weak and rich running tests.

    I have had a lot of input from knowledgable friends at trials and we have tried all methods of starting

    Full throttle no throttle choke on etc.   5 mins to cool down and as good as new

    Like I said FRUSTRATING

    Will keep you all posted

    Thanks for all suggestions

    Hi yes the motor has been rebuilt

    it always runs fine ,hot or cold, with no noises

    just after walking a section after a lap or so it will refuse to start initially

    Then after 10 mins start and run normally 

    Plug looks a little rich

    inlet and carb rubbers are new

    Already cost me plenty, I am now thinking could it be a fuel blockage, but it runs fine until I stop it and would tick over forever.

    As I say all new electrics including wiring

    Crank seals ?

    I have a Fantic 200 in excellent condition.

    But it is very hard to start when hot.

    Having read posts about bikes running for 20 minutes then being difficult to start, I concluded it must be an electrical

    problem.

    so I have replaced the source coil, fitted a new Blue Ducati coil on the frame having checked for good earths

    Re wired all connections, replaced the trigger pulse coil, new plug , cap and lead.

    It still won't start when hot.

    i have checked the various coil resistances and they are correct.

    Out of frustration I borrowed a complete ignition assembly from a known good bike

    and it still plays up from when hot

    The bike starts easily from cold, maybe runs a little rich, but when running is very good.

    It will run again normally as soon as it cools down.

    Now thinking it could be the crank seals , but it's not using oil and doesn't smoke

    oh and it's got a new carb.

    Any ideas I'm at a loss!

     

     

     

  14. 4 Jour De La Creuse

    in European Trials

    Posted

    4 great days riding,sections for everyone.

    I treat it as a trials holiday and we have a good laugh.Camp for free on the rugby pitch,which has porta loos and fresh water.Showers in the village.

    Make sure your bike agrees with the regs, lanyard enclosed rear sprocket and lights.

    Buy your lunch in advance from the spa shop and it's ready for your mid day pit stop.

    Be prepared for extreme weather.Hot sunny and dusty.

    Or torrential downpours.

    Above all have fun.

  16. Accomodation 4 Jours De La Creuse

    in Trials Reviews & Previews

    Posted

    There are several local campsites but all are a short distance from the start /town area .We prefer to be in the village and it's amenities, which are not a much ,couple of bars and a shop.The rugby pitch is free for camping just turn up.This makes re fuelling easier at the end of each circuit.

    There is no petrol available at the start ,nearest fuel station is 15k

    Take jerry cans and fill up at the supermarket in Geuret on your way in.

    Hope the Irish boys are gonna make it this year,they are a right laugh! And the Splat shop boys Alan Alan!

  21. Gas Gas Pro Power Switch

    I have now had time to evaluate both settings.

    My conclusion is NONCONCLUSIVE ,i have not found any noticable difference in the performance.

    Having said that , if it makes a differnce only at high revs i am unlikely to know.

    I have now fitted a head spacer which i know from past experience calms the bike.

    Finally the real solution lies under my throttle hand.if i twist hard full power.
