Recommended Posts

I have a Tiger Cub with Fantic forks - with a serious leak. Problem is I don't know what model the forks are or what bike they came off. I have bought some new seals the same size as those already on the bike (32x42x8), but now I need to add the oil - question is how much??

For those Fantic enthusiasts who may be able to help, the details are:

32mm stanchions

Drum brake left hand pull

Original colour - Red

Drain screw at bottom rear of each leg

Hex bolt in bottom secures internals

Four sided alloy screw threaded bolt secures spring

Thanks,

John

They are probably Betor which were fitted std to the 50s and 80s Trial version. Start at 170ml, 10ml if you are light enough.

An endless knowledge you should apply to go on Master Mind.......Are you sitting comfortably......then i'll begin......Q: How many of the 240 model has Fantic produced?.... :thumbup:
