I doubt there will be many around as there's a trial by the club in Brickhill on this day , Don't ride alone as its not permitted .

Nobody really buys 280 cc

Not a lot , mainly the evo version is newer as the name got changed only

There is another way , you can remove a spring from inside somewhere,mine is ultra light now an useable ,i'm sure someone will post which spring can come out !

Richard Allen who is based in Northampton also has spares for these, as he breaks Fantics . He is always collecting bikes for restoring or breaking . Try him his number is 01933 314145 . He would post anywhere

Msm have insured my bike on the frame number ,I have had to extend the cover as dvla were mucking me around ,Each time they do it over the phone, Also Dvla have stated insurance is not required to produce a V5 at this point ...

I had the same trouble, but was told they no longer need insurance covernotes etc.. and tax discs will cease to exsist come October 2014 ! hope this helps.. Stay safe

ATF is good but the gearchange is notchy I find , light gear oil does the job all round Stay Safe

Bad ! I wouldn't bother with one ,you must be serious to have a spare practice wheel- so you will have noticed that not many (or hardly any) riders consider this tyre option .

Well... I can tell you they are shocking! spend the extra 10 =15 pounds and get the real deal ,either IRC or Michelin ! Stay safe

Every one I have known with this Renault/Vauxhall/Nissan van which is at least 8 people,6 have had fatal gearbox issues between 100-130000 miles ! (One just recently ) so beware if you do go for one !! Stay safe !

Hi, 125 for definite, My daughter has been riding a 125 since 13 years old, The Beta is good but not the way forward for a 14 year old . Hope this helps Stay safe

Tell him to clean her up a bit then ! lol I know plastics for these can be pricey .Bear in mind you can buy a nice little 05-06 gasser 125 for about £850

As long as it all works 600 if not 500 , they are hard to get some parts for !

No they are completely separate ,thank god or you might have to send your ACU licence away to get 3 points if you go the wrong way through a section Stat safe

Try Richard Allens used trials spares might save you a few bob

I think its a common problem, if its that bad after you put light gear oil in or whatever you choose ,the only way is to open her up and examine what the plates are like ,you could mix and match some secondhand ones to save money. Stay Safe

Chris, I think you should be using mineral oil in the clutch reservoir and light gear oil in the engine , I use Putoline light gear in my Gasser. The clutch does drag slightly on tickover on mine also , if it still drags more than you feel acceptable you should examine the wear on the plates inside for ,A new clutch is about 40 quid! if needed Stay safe

Hi ,I had these on my 2011 Gasser ,never had a problem with them and my son still has them on his 80cc,Recommended for the price which I recall 40 quid a pair ! Stay Safe

Hi I have run at 70.1 for a long time with good results ,this is the way forward to feel comfortable whilst revving hard etc... Stay Safe

Hi , Light gear oil should help in the long run with the new plates .... Stay safe

Hi Gary, I would start with the engine and listen for noises that could mean trouble like bearings whirring and knocking , Then clutch operation check smoothness and operation then move onto the frame parts like swing arm bearings,with the bike lifted see how much up and down play in the rear wheel ,there should be none. wobble front and rear wheels for wheel bearing play although this is a cheap fix about 1.50 each bearing to buy. Check the oil sight glass for condition of oil and water contamination ,if its cloudy could need a repair kit . all items like brake pads and tyres are obvious and can be considered wear items which you can use to haggle a good price which suits you. if not walk away there are many others around. Stay safe

Hi , I would sell it as I doubt it will ever be worth much more, you may get 700 quid for it which will give you 2200 to spend .eg.2011 gas gas 250 could be within reach which will hold good relative value for you ! Stay safe !

Speaking from experience you can find a nice gasser for around 900 pounds ,might take a bit of time but one should turn up that fits the bill ! Stay safe!

Hi, I find 70.1 is a happy medium to run at .50.1 is far too much oil although gas gas recommend this for some reason Stay safe!
