June 27, 201610 yr The coach is from the same basic family as the 305, 307 and 309 so spares availability is the same as for those. It was a downgraded cheaper version of the 305. Drum rear brake cheaper suspension, not sure if the engine tune was changed in any way. The later coaches sold at the same time as the K-Roo’s and Section’s had bigger pillion seats and were aimed at the same market as the GasGas Pampera etc. These still had the same basic engine and frame as the earlier 305 etc. Have a look at this http://fanticmotor.free.fr/IDENT-TRIAL/Modeles-trials.html
June 27, 201610 yr Author I Baught it!..... Is it a 305 coach? Drum on rear. Chuffed to bits with it - it revs rapidly! Thanks for the info so far - the engine code is fm403. Are these a chrome barrel?
June 27, 201610 yr I think that probably is a coach. Looks like all the right parts for one, rear drum, downgraded suspension. Looks to be in good condition. Might be worth looking under the right hand plastic outer engine cover. If it's the same as the later ones it has the option to change flywheel weight on the generator.
July 3, 201610 yr Hi tom, yes the 305 has the nikasil coated barrel. This coach looks really tidy. It has the steel rear subframe rather than a lighter alloy one on the normal 305, which in hindsight is much better as the alloy ones were always snapping and being re-welded. Looks like you've got a new rear mudguard on it, it's just a shame that some numptys gone to the trouble of buying a new sticker kit and stuck the decals in all the wrong places, look at the 305 on images and you'll see what I mean, enjoy!
