  1. Use a strap to put the forks under tension and try again

    MH 349

    I think they started out the same length and then the top bit was broken, probably when fitting ne seals. I've seen a couple of places repairing these. You might find it cheaper though to pick up a s/h assembly, these forks were fitted to many bikes including fantic SWM and Armstrong so they do turn up fairly regular
  3. Have you checked that the timing marks are in the right place and that it srobes up correctly?
  4. I should have the gears from an SL125 brakeplate as I have used one on my trials bike and removed the gears to lose some weight.

    It will be in the garage somewhere, but I can't look as I've just had a shoulder injury and I'am in a sling.

     

    If you still want one in a few weeks let me know and I will have a search

      Hi. Thanks for your answer, i'll wait, i think i don't have another option left. Also i'm curious if the front plate of the SL fits

      I don't have an SL brakeplate anymore, but it did look identical to a mates TL one. Will have a look for speedo drive when I get back from holiday in a couple of weeks

  5. I fairly sure the SL125 had the same hubs
  6. on facebook, go to the cost optimised fantic site and search there as someone has fitted that system to his trials fantic
  7. Paulmac, it wasn't meant as a dig more an observation. I do add our local trials to the calendar and then post the results if I get them
  8. I've noticed a few less postings, but more worryingly the news and results sections seem to be way out of date. Also I post our clubs newest results, but it seems to be ages before they appear yet the ones from our trial in November are in the latest results column
  9. Nigel, has it worked? Is the arm reacting as it did before injury?
  10. Cheers, will try to get in contact with him or his team
  11. I dislocated my shoulder last year, I now have a pair after being high sided off my enduro bike 25 years ago. This one is causing me more problems though and I want to do something about it. My area NHS does not operate on this condition so I've been looking at going private. Had anybody any experience or recommendations? I asked both the ACU and the AMCA but neither had the courtesy to reply!!
  12. I've found some bits are good, engines and ignitions whilst others are poor, for instance engine bolts made out of putty and frame welds done in the dark
  13. Check the obvious first. Look for dodgy wiring, take flywheel cover off and make sure that it has remained dry. Flywheel off and clean up check on woodruff key. Try for spark direct, take plug cap off and hold near to barrel.
  14. it was probably stripped, it was common at one point to open out rethread and put a slave in. Now it would be helicoiled
  15. Nice bike, love the way they mount the shocks on the swing arm so everything is as narrow as possible. I bought what turned out to be a Saracen frame at an auction some months ago and sill haven't come up with a plan for it
  16. You would normally suspect the coil behind the flywheel is breaking down, but I'm not familiar with these modern bikes
  17. It's the same ignition as used on the suzuki RL250 if that helps. I will probably have a spare in a while but getting it to you will be expensive

    SY250???

    I disagree, i've had 2 and both were good. Very strong motors and reasonable handling make for a good novice and up bike. New spares are difficult but there is a specialist breaking them for spares. As with any water cooled bike if you boil it and keep running the damage will be terminal
  19. Often the delorto has 2 slow running jets in the same hole, I know I missed that a few years ago. Worth considering taking it to Bill Pye who is not a million miles away. Need to get a move on though there is less thn 3 weeks to go to the Midland Classic trial at Rhodesia which is vey close to you
  20. I could have fived all those sections in a fraction of the time!!!
  21. What I have found with little bikes is that the slow running jets and galley ways are so small that they easily get blocked and are very difficult to clear out.
  22. I've glued Suzuki magnets back in using Araldite (not the quick setting stuff). You should be able to see where the magnets were positioned, just takes a close look and a bit of detective work.
  23. Don't think it is challenger as the fins are too thick and few.
  24. If you go too low on the primary, clutch slip could be a problem. It also makes the bike harder to start. I prefer to go as low as possible on the gearbox sprcket
