Just picked up a 200 Fantic with a few issues. Sorted the HT Coil out and found an air filter boot from In Motion but I need the round cover for the air box. Where can I find one? at the moment it has a 7 inch grinding disc in place but I would prefere a plastic one.

I have an early Oset 16 for my boy and the throttle response is awfull when the batteries are fresh. He rode his first oset trial yesterday and all of the other kids bikes were smooth and progressive where his was just plain uncontrollable. I have been reading that the Kelly controller might be the best option but I have also been looking at other 36V E=bike controllers available at a fraction of the price. Any thoughts?

Hi guys I have just purchased the above bike and would like to slow it down a little bit until my daughter gets to grips with it. What can I do?

Hi Guys, I want to purchase some gudgeon pin circlips in advance of an engine strip down, Does anyone know the gudgeon pin diameter?

This thread got my goat up to start with but having looked at some of the pit bike engine budget machines I am well behind it. Brilliant stuff and in the spirit of the sport.

Used a regular gas blow torch and a compressor blow off gun to clean mine. Great fun !!!!! Took a few minutes to get it going but well worth it. Basically you fire the air and the butane torch up one end of the pipe until it starts to roar. You will know when its started to work. You can then remove the gas torch but keep the compressed air on. Almost worth buy old two stroke pipes so you can do it for fun.

Just got hold of a TX250 bottom end with good big end - I hope ! Will let you know how it runs shortly - could be a while though !

Is it possible to obtain a con rod kit for a TX250? Thanks

The very early TX250's had smaller diameter crank shaft seals on the flywheel side. 21mm rather than 22mm (or something like that)

High spec new build twinshocks have killed the class here in the southwest. Maybe mono is the way forward.

My TX250 with a 156cc (200 piston) converision started knocking yesterday during a trial. It was fine when cooled down again but knocked like hell on the over run when hot. dong dong dong. Big end or piston slap?

How does it ride?

Love the MZ. is that a production machine or a home made machine?

My fantic 125. This is as purchased quite a number of years ago. It now sports a period rear mudguard and a rusty exhaust + a decent pair of X11's and it gets used. No plans to restore it just yet.

The early 125's are not worth the money of the later 200's. I have a 125 however and its fine. The forks are not so good as the larger 35mm units and the power is down on the 125's (mine is a converted to 156) They are not quite as pretty but that's it. The geometry is the same with both so the early machines ride just as well. But it wont be worth the same money as the iconic 200. Still a good bike and equal or better to any other twinshock brand though.

I'd be interested to know how much you were charged. Here is my thread on the subject. http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/43965-diy-fantic-200-stator-exciter-coil-rewind/

I am going through the process of trying to obtain the registration number of an 88 husky wr with the DVLA at the moment. They are being very helpfull. No number yet but at least they are responding.

Brilliant ! - My dad has his AJS Scrambler in the bedroom !

Moved it out of the way so I coule build a new bath panel.

Can you clarify that a little bit. I have read it a few times and just cannot grasp it. Sorry to be a pain in the a***.

yeah agreed, nice guy to deal with.

For the money being asked the bike looks a pile of poo. Whats the sellers number so I can call him and tell him myself...//

Quick update - Playing around with my old HT coil I discovered I had a spark which could jump a 1 1/2" gap. I investigated the correct resistance for the exciter coil to be 400 to 600 ohms - I had 1600 ohms. Today I unwound some of those windings until I achieved 500 ohms spot on. New Ducati coil and she lives again.

I have just removed the plug to check for a spark - and its still sparking very well. So I am thinking, maybe the capacitor which holds the charge until triggered has popped. I will stick the old Dansi HT coil back on and see if it fires up this evening. I'll then rip the Ducati style HT coil appart and see what has blown within. Any advise greatly appreciated, cant remember a great deal about inductance and capacitance from my college days.

Sadly no picture. However - Rode a trial on it today. All was going well and then it started to backfire occasionally. I new plug and all was good again, then at the last section it backfired and stopped with a smell of burnt electrics - opps looks like the HT coil might have gone pop, will get the tank off and investigate during the week ahead. Probably too many windings producing too much voltage would have been the cause. (I did get a little carried away)
