I did mine earlier in the year. Needed a NOVA, ended up speaking to very helpful guy on the phone and sorted it there & then, then VMCC to date it, daytime MOT and all sorted. Got it registered as 1980.
I'm new to trials and bought a 200 Fantic. Does everything I want it to and is capable of more than I can chuck at it. I'm approx 90kg with my gear on and it doesn't struggle. I've moved the pegs which helps but that's all.
There's a guy who races in the Scottish classic scrambles events. Think his name is Jake. I've seen him do repairs at meetings. Might be worth trying the Scottish Classic SCRMC website or Facebook page.
I found one in the USA and also a used one in the UK. Was it difficult to replace ? I know the crank case needs to be split
Straight forward. Careful if you have to hit anything with a mallet. I replaced the main bearings and seals at the same time for piece of mind. Worth checking the kickstart gear for damage and maybe move it round a bit so it engages on different teeth.
Can anybody tell me if the shock length is the same for the standard TY80 and the Big Wheel Whitehawk 80? It's got non standard shocks at moment and looking to replace them.
Another question, does anybody run a 21" front wheel on theirs? It's had a 18" rear fitted but still got the 20" front usual tyre issues!
Colin ? Best to go to a few trials and ask for a shot on the type your thinking of, although as above, a big wheel will probably be a better bet.
Yes, you guessed right RT. Looking at either a Beta or Gas Gas for him. As comparison but I know it's not the same his mountain bike is junior frame with 26" wheels and can handle that ok. Seen kids the same size or smaller on big wheel but wasn't sure if they got used to control on med wheel first before moving up.
Looking at bikes for my son but looking for some advice on size. He's coming up 9 and 4' 11". Unsure whether to go big wheel or med wheel 80cc. Not interested in classes or serious competing, more for fun.
Thanks for your reply. The TXT Rookie I'm looking at is the big wheel with 6 gears. I believe it's the same bottom end as the 70. My boy has ridden a full auto but is ready to try clutch & gears so a good starting point. The main engine parts are now obsolete by the looks of it but rings look to be available.
