  1. 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
  3. 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
  4. I could have fived all those sections in a fraction of the time!!!
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Don't think it is challenger as the fins are too thick and few.
  8. 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
  9. Belstaff themselves will do this
  10. The physio at my doctors gave me some exercises to do which helped a lot
  11. No problems with fibre glass tanks in non road events so long they are not leaking
  12. Both central wheel and Talon did them at one time
  13. Put a trolley jack in between the two downtubes, heat up the bent one and it will straighten quite easily. To check if the frame is out of line set on a stand and use a spirit level to get the swinging arm arm spindle level, then check that the forks are vertical. My gut feel is that it will be ok.
  14. Mine measures 11.5, which is smaller than other bikes I have, including a pitbike. 2T offroad in scotland should have one, or put a call out on cost optimised Fantic facebook page
  15. I wouldn't use ATF as your clutch will probably already have a tendancy for the plates to stick together when left for more the a couple of weeks and using this oil willmake this worse. I would go for a light gear oil
  16. I'd go for second hand wheels, some turn up on Ebay
  17. If you have a small capacity 12v charger (or can borrow one) try charging each battery individually. The chargers aren't well made, mine certainly gave up and I know of others. Don't have to buy one from Oset though there are alternatives about.
  18. Mine was gutless and I was a schoolboy then. It looks the wheels are already 18/21 as mine was
  19. use the hubs from the K10/11 80cc Suzuki. I only have experience of using super six pistons, I think the GT250 ones are slightly shorter and may mess with the porting
  20. I've done a couple of tanks which had gone thin and slightly holey using a sealent, can't remember the name - got it from Wyldes in Leeds
  21. Cheers, did think it would stall easily
  22. Join the optimised fantic part of facebook as they come up on there from time to time, the 125 one fits. Looks a really nice bike
  23. the red one is knackered and the blue one is newer
