Thanks all for your advice.

Hi, I have just purchased a Fantic 125 twinshock and forgot to ask the seller what is the correct petrol/ oil mix ratio. Any ideas, the bike is about 1978. Thanks.

I wouldn't worry about it mate. That should be my middle name as I am a bricklayer and I find I say it a lot through the day when there is a question re work etc. Anyway back to subject in hand, nobody is worried, you go out you have a go and you learn as you go along. I am crap so I have just enquired about about Steve Saunders school 1 day course. A mate has been helpful(Pitley) and as with anything you will always learn in life. My advice is get involved at the other end, observe for the club you are a member of, that helps a lot. You are involved and you can watch all abilities etc. Good luck

Hi, I can point you in the direction of the person you want to speak to re fuel tank's, seat, sump guard and even a new frame if you want one. Go to ebay.co.uk and type in item number 8042125712 and you will find a recent sale he had running. Contact him through ebay. I have not dealt with him but he is the man you want to speak to. Good luck. P.S. sorry I don't know about the piston required, maybe RD400???

Thanks for replies I have received up to now. It is the one on ebay I am looking at. I will contact the seller. Thank's again.

Hi, I am on the look out for a Pinky Yam 250, as a novice I have been advised by a couple of mates that a Pinky is the way to go as I have a TLR200 and although I like it I just can not seem to get on with it. (Stop waffling) I have seen a Pinky for sale, it has been bored to 270. I was wondering if the rebore would change the bike that much power wise for a novice (read crap rider) also the inlet manifold has been shortened to "improve" power. Again should I as a novice maybe stay away and find a bog std 250. Or to put it simple. What does a 270 kit do to a Pinky. Thankyou.

Hi, there is talk of a bloke around here who fitted a Briggs and Stratton piston in his Seeley, (shocking I know) if you can contact Pitley he may be able to put you in touch. I dont know his name sorry.

Hello everyone, I am a new member. I have a TLR 200 and I am a complete novice. After having a go on a mates Seeley I was convinced my TLR was not steering properly. Is it me ? Any tips on how to improve it I would be grateful. I was advised to buy a Pinky instead ? Thank's.
