[1996 Fantic 250]

Hi,going to look at a 96 Fantic 250 on Friday.What are the main things I should look for ??.Also where would I get a Manual for one?

I need some specs on these for servicing if I do in fact pick it up.

Thanks.

Hi

although i've got the 250, its an 06...

although there's a list here i dont think its any worse than anything else. Been pleased with mine (7 months later).

Gasgas pro specific

---Scratched / damaged fork stanchions, they changed to Aluminium in 06.

---dragging clutch (here its all about degree, as most drag slightly)

---fractured centre silencer lugs (lug that connects to the rear brake bracket)

---Rear suspension linkage bearings, mine has 0.5-1mm slop with pretty new bearings

---Keihin carb is a good option over the Dellorto.

---Water pump seals / bushes fail (this was more a problem in earlier years)

General

---wheel bearings, chain , sprockets etc.

---Low compression / rattly / worn cylinder plating

---Worn carb (needle), causing rich running

---Worn/drooping footpegs

Good luck, although i'm quite lightweight my 250 is reasonably snappy, i know the 280 is more so (more than the 300).

Great info,many thanks.
