Fantic were supposed to showing a prototype 2006 trial bike at the Milan Show in september! Has anyone seen or heard anything about that?

Yeah where did you hear about Aprilia making a comeback? I know Fantic are supposed to be but Aprilia is news to me

That looks in nice condition mate

I do!! That looks lovely

Have you got a link or a pic of it?

Man that bikes was only 12 months old What the hell did you do to it?

TonyP thanks very much mate

Hmmm thanks axulsuv, good idea mate

No its true mate, trials plastics do seem to be very expensive compared to MX plastics! Not sure why tho

Hey jonny beta very artistic mate Yeah they are pretty cool Jools, very different

Didnt want to hijack the other thread on spark plugs but while it is being discussed whats the correct plug for a 309? Also we have just had the barrel recoated by langcourt and put in a new piston kit but when we came to take the bike out to run it in it was a real pain to run! Basically it took ages to start (ran fine at home) and when it did start it sounded like it was flooding and there was very little power. Soon it did flood and fouled up the plug. We put in another new plug but it simply would not go. The plug kept getting very wet. The thing is after we built it we did run it a litlle at home and it sounded ok but then my mate left the fuel on all night and in the morning it had flooded out of the airbox and onto the floor. Am I correct in thinking the floats may be stuck open and to flood the airbox would it not have flooded the crank/big end first? If so could this be the reason it is flooding? Any help guys would be great! Cheers.

Yeah I (try) and ride moto-x but I gotta admit Im not that good at it. However it is great fun and bloody hell does it knacker you out!! Hah hah Im aching all week after a days racing, must try and lay off the beer a little Im too unfit

No mate thats my full size one! I dont have any photos of my mini bike yet! Cheers for the link boofont!

Your best off ringing a dealer matey!

Ooh just on the off chance, if there are any of you that also indulge in MX can you point me in the direction of some funky graphics kits?

I know its not a trials bike but oh well.........

That is a bloody good example!! Shame its not in the UK, maybe I would have had a look at that? I like those older bikes!

I agree that it takes about 10 minutes to go cover to cover but its still nice to have a dedicated mag!

Those Honda plastics look great! Your right they do make the standard Montesa ones look dull!

Any spy shots of them

If it is the edition and not the Pro you should be running at least 650cc of oil in the gearbox! 450cc is not enough on that model!

Yeah good point I forgot about the KTM tie! Like Scorpa have with the Yamaha YZ250F engine maybe Beta will use the 250 engine from either the KTM SX250F or even the Suzuki RMZ250?

Hmmm that could be an option but would Honda supply engines to a rival manufacturer to Montesa? Dont Beta have ties with Suzuki or did I dream that?

Not sure but try Talon Engineering they might be able to help you?
