baldilocks Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Right folks can anybody answer this for me please. I thought all bultaco 340cc models had a six speed box, is this correct ? In my area there is a bultaco 340 but the owner claims its only a 5 speed ? is this some hybrid or did bulto make the 340 in both 5 and 6 speed versions ? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 All six speeds I'm sure, and I thought that the 250's were as well till recently but not so maybe there is an overlap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bultaco49 Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 199b 340cc 6 speed. Only other six speeders were the 50cc models. Everything else was a 5 speed including 250 198b (Except model 10. 4 speed). Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legs Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Hello, First 3 199-B that came to Comerfords where 5 speeders and had blue frames. Call Bultaco Uk with engine/ frame numbers and I will tell you what you have... There where 10 x 198-B made with 6 speed special for France at the time.. Last Fronteras had 6 speed also....

sparks2 Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 (edited) Hi Yes, all 199b's (340) left the factory as six speeders, all 198b's (250) were five speeders. However, I believe some 199b's have subsequently been converted to 5 speeders when the six speed box gave trouble. I am told that the 5 speed box is stronger. So, perhaps this how some confusion has arisen. As ever, someone, in this case, Legs, has proven me wrong. Perhaps I should have said the vast majority of 199b's left the factory as six speeders and the vast majority of 198b's left as 5 speeders. However I still stand by my statement that some 199b's will have been converted to 5 speeds.

Is the 6 speed box just got more cogs in it or is it a completely different thing? ie to convert one of these to five speed requires a cluster swap?
