franticfantic

Did anyone else know that Fantic made a road bike with exacly the same engine that was in the 240 but it was water cooled.? And i have also been told it will fit into the trials frame. although brackets will need to be made to fit the radiator. Just unsure what the road bike is called and how many of them are about,? Might be worth while doing a bit of research and someone can have a water cooled 240.

Cheers for that lee i thought this could be the case.

Is there a specific Ducati coil for the Section ? i have seen many for sale for Vespas, Lambrettas etc and all other bikes and a big price difference between them too

I have just bought a section of a nice chap from France and it came with a Vee Rubber front and back, I have not tested them but he gave a good report and said they were a good tyre and recommended them, I have also heard good reports from other people too but i guess everyone has there own preference some will perform better than others but I guess it will also depend on conditions, suspension set up, Tyre PSI etc etc.

Does anyone know of anywhere in the UK to Buy a trials related calendar.? Does Trials Central Produce One? I have seen loads for classic road bikes etc but nothing for trials? It would be nice to see a trials calendar hanging up in my office for a change instead of my free carole Nash road bike one i have every year.

To late for that already bought the paint and painted the tank. However i did find a petrol resistant lacquer in Halfords so going to give that a go. If all else fails it looks like I will be stripping it all down and starting again.

Im not talking about fantic's but petrol tanks in general, as when your filling a tank there will be times when the petrol will spill on the tank do you need special paints to provent the paint reacting with the petrol and stripping it off.?

Hi all im looking at painting a tank up but whats the correct paint to use to ensure that petrol is not going to strip it straight back off again. will lacquer protect it or will it react whatever the paint.?

first off im looking for a wiring diagram for my 95 section can anyone help.? Secondly does anyone know anyone breaking a section i am after a few parts.?

or you can try and bleed it off using a syringe and some pipe, thats how i do it for my clutch and brakes works everytime (be sure to use a big syringe so you can flush the whole system in one go) fill the syringe up and make sure there is no air in there, attach the pipe onto the syringe and then onto the bleed nipple, (use the same size pipe like whats going from your carb to you petrol tank) loosen off the nipple and take the cap of the clutch leaver and force it back over slowly. Should do the trick and you wont have to wait long to see if it has worked. Which it will do.

Does anyone know when scorpa changed the engine from rotex to yamaha.? what did the 2000 have?
