Afternoon, Anyone know where I can get a new brake cam? Grimeca 125mm, Fantic 200, the thread has practically worn away. I could turn it down in the lathe and thread it 6mm but I'd prefer a new one really. Cheers in advance.

Morning, Has anyone found an alternative supply of piston seals for the Hebo rear calipers? The 24mm piston version. Cheers.

Thanks for the reply. Judging by the number of views my post has had there are a few folk out there that are maybe needing some as well as me. Is anyone out there willing to make a batch?

Hi all, Does anyone know where to get the fork bushings for the marzocchi forks fitted to the later 200's. I've tried the google route and inmotion but can't find any to purchase. Thanks.

Evening all. I have two rear wheels from a fantic 200 with the conical hubs. I'm about to rebuild one of them but currently they have slightly different off sets? One is 42mm (measured from the non sprocket side) and the other is 43.5mm? I can't find anything definitive web wise so I just wondered if anybody knew the correct measurement. I've tried accurately measuring from the swinging arm to both sides of the wheel but as the swinging arm is round it's proved a bit hit and miss at best! Thanks in advance.

I've been told a ty250r gear change may fit? is this correct, there's loads of them about but I can't find the size of the ty gear change shaft anywhere online. Alloy with a spring tip so would be ideal! The gent who told me added "I think" at the end of the conversation.

Thanks gents, I was trying to measure the old ones but they literally fell to dust. I couldn't find anything the right size, I guess I was just been too fussy!!!

Any body have an alternative to the side panel grommets on the Fantic's? I found some over in France but to get 6 the cost was up around £35 including postage.

Took a few weeks to arrive but they are on the bike and look original.

It looks like your date is about right. The earlier forks with the single pinch bolt but looks like the later steering head set up. I don't think the later post 80 models had the tool box brackets either. Looking good though, is the frame ral 3000 or 3020?

Hi, Has anyone found new isolation rubbers for the exhaust mountings. I can't find anything close on the web. My current ones are made up off two flanged rubber washers and a central steel tube. If I can't find any I'm thinking I might have to make some. Shock mountings are close but the frame tube is 20mm I/d and the shock mountings all seem around 23mm. Cheers.

Anyone found a smaller back sprocket than standard (53) that would be more suitable for some road use. I marshal for the SSDT at times and thinking of using my Fantic instead of the normal BMW gs! I do manage to get the gs in some daft places but the fantic would be more suitable. I just don't want to be revving the nuts off it on some of the longer road sections.

Right folks, it was the cdi. Second hand one fitted and it fired up straight away. I let it warm up and set the idle and mixture screw then put the old cdi back on. Problem was back, ticked over very slow and wouldn't rev fouled the plug and popped back through the exhaust. I found a few wiring diagrams and resistance values online and they all checked out, weirdly the voltage to the coil I had of 3 volts checked out too. The cdi just couldn't supply enough of them to allow the revs to build. Hopefully this may help someone else in the future. Thanks for all the help.

Great, thanks for that. I had googled fantic 200 kickstart and surfed for ages and nothing came up. Just goes to show the power of a good forum!

Hi, Does anyone know of a source for a new kick start for a rear kick fantic 200. Mines really baggy now and I know it will let me down in the worst possible place!
