stuessenhigh Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Hi all, My mate's just bought a 1997 Fantic 303 249cc We have absolutely NO information on it. Could anyone let us know the fluid levels. i.e. How much fork oil, How much gearbox oil, correct fuel/2T mix. Thanks in advance for any help!!

t-shock 250 Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 (edited) The fantic 303 ran from 1987 to 1988. I assume this is what you meant! Try Bill Pye at Frankfield garage, he knows most things fantic! www.frankfieldfantic.co.uk Edited March 22, 2004 by t-shock 250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madalec Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 I have just replaced the fork seals on my 1988 Series 2 303 and the forks are Marzocchi 35mm. I got the seals from a Ducati dealer, they are 35mm x 47mm x 7.5mm. Not sure about the fork oil quantity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencey Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 The forks will need 220cc's of 7.5wt. per leg. As far as the mixture ratio goes I'm running mine @66:1 with the fuel screw 1 turn out, the needle dropped 1 clip position and a 106(down 1 size from a 108)main jet. 50:1 with modern synthetic oils is too oil rich and will probably cause the bike to regularly "fluff" the plug. Also run your air filter dry, not heavily oiled as this can also compound the problem(Bill Pye's advice,not mine) Cheers, Spencey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuessenhigh Posted March 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Thanks Spencey and MadAlec... This will all be very helpfull!!!....particularly fork seal sizes. They are so cheap here, its nice to go and get them, and have them ready before taking the old ones out. Cheers again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
