spinningplates

Hi All I am taking the cylinder head of a 2006 rev 80 but the head bolts and barrel nuts appear to be loose on a 10 mm spanner but 9mm wont fit. I just want to know if I am missing a trick and they require a special beta spanner. many thanks

this is not the best way, but I have placed a normal bearing puller (with split clamp) place the split clamp in the grove and nip them tightish, then use the bearing puller as normal with the crank shaft threads protected by a 5 pence coin. a little heat from a hot air gun is helpful to as the are usually pretty tight. This is the method I have used on a number of occasions and have not damaged the shaft but would recommend a more tailored method if you can make one.

Thank you Woody very comprensive answer. Its a mk1 so have gone for 46 / 11. fingers crossed should be the last thing I put on the the bike which was meant to be a cheap rebuilt renovation project. What was I thinking ?

Just about to replace sprockets. what would be the best sprocket sizes front and back for genral trials sections. Many thanks.

b40rt your a star. He was offering me a part refund some persistence on my part and a discussion about the police and a full refund was given to me.

Just had a text from him offering me a full refund I will post when updated I might have nothing to worry about,

Ive just given £360 of my hard earned cash to a gentleman by the name of Tommy Baxter aka Robin Butler see this link to karting forum. http://www.karting.c...sgID=0000491553 Fingers crossed

put a wire across the to leads from fan that go to switch/ thermostat. does it spin with the engine is running should run at a constant speed. if it does chances are it your thermostat. (

does anyone know if you are able to camp at the venue ?

rear linkage is removed as follows, rear wheel off, spacer in rear brake pads to stop them closing , remove bolt holding linkage to bottom of rear shock. the linkage is held by one Allen bolt either side of swing arm and one 'Top hat' bolt off either side on the bottom of the linkage chances are that this linkage will have split and will need welding if not you lucky, I welded mine 2 years ago and still ok. There are no bushes in top hat bolts. On the top bolts there are bushes and roller that have to be removed. I have employed various methods to remove the shims. best is hookum out with a nail head or similar, before replacing shims in to swing arm drill a small hole through them to add removal again. Thread lock it all together when refitting as they can develop some play. Bill will tlk you through it if required and has the top hat bolts, shims and rollers. any chance of a pic of the bike ?

In answer to your carb question NO carb off is tank off, rear mud guard off, air box, and rear top frame off it will just squeeze out then if you wiggle it. although think I may have had to remove the top bolt of rear shock and take out the middle box of the exhaust. Re packing off exhaust I had the middle and rear box off mine, rear box appears to have no packing in there but some metal gauze. middle box I chopped the back off the box and the only bit that takes packing in close to the in pipe, this bit also has some packing in which I drilled holes into to push packing in with a old spoke, got to say that this had no affect on the sound levels of the bike, I think this can only be do by replacing the rear pipe with an after market silencer. not sure what you can do about rear spindle. Have you tried laying bike on side and penetrating oil over night sounds like you may be getting there as you have movement. the rear suspension unit has a number of parts so removing them may isolate the offending part. advice is freely available as are parts (but you have to pay for them), from Bob Wright at http://www.fantictrials.co.uk/ and Bill Pye http://www.frankfieldfantic.co.uk/ and on this forum of course

mm lady Gas Gas was the high light for a number of gentlemen sitting in front of me. I didnt notice her myself

Pierre66 you have a PM Sir

one for the knee and one for the bars. had a look at TSR22a and no failure for touching bars on ground as long as b ) or c ) or d ) both hands on bars, engine still running and feet stay different sides of bike.

The Rev50 are fitted with rim lock as standard, not sure about the minitrial, local bike shop should have something to fit in stock if not ty trails do a rim lock for the front of the bigger ty's and turned to the side this may do the trick. at 7yrs the rev50 is prefect for him, bombproof bike aswell.

My 7 yrs has been trailing for 6 months on a ty80, been riding a peewee and crosser since 3 1/2 yrs, the ty80 was fantastic at surviving all the bashing and dropping that a bike suffers when a person is learning the finer points of bike control. he was beating some of the beta rev 80 as well at local trials. Got him a 2003 Rev 50 this week he finished the D route with 8 points for the day best before was 33. The ty80 definitely has a place in trials still and taught my lad how to ride a trials bike well and I think has acted as a 'slingshot' in developing his skills. the rev 50 is 25 yrs younger and is shows, what a cracking bike !!!!

These bike are tough, rear mudguard sprang back into place, two kicks and we're off again

Just finished the new paint work on tank, seat and rear mud guard, well please with it. I had the decals made at local sign maker.

well done on your new bike I brought a 243 about 2 months ago and v impressed, however it is my first trials bike. ( at 40 yrs old) this link of Bob Wright site may be helpful as there is limited writen info I have been able to find on Fantics http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm22/fa...c5seriesmanual/ Also Bill Pye is a useful chap to phone as he also has a good working knowlegde of fantic and the parts Bill Pye, Frankfield Garage, Great Ayton, Middlesbrough, North Yorks, TS9 6BZ (Tel 01642 722378 I have found both Bob and Bill very helpful indeed.
