metisse Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I didn t mean to say how good it was twice.. but then... Also to clarify, my Majesty wasn t a works bike although with the amount of time,effort ( various persons) and not so small sum of Euros, lavished on it to try and make it as good as a Fantic.... it bloody well could have been.....

gumby26 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hi All, I have a 240, 300, 301, a 245 b@st@rd bike ( drum brakes and twin shocked ). I just picked up a decent 200 this weekend and have to say I'm blown away at how much snort this lil 156cc engine makes !!!It's so light feeling and steers so nice ! I'll have to ride it back to back with the 240 (my favorite) or at least so far, when it is all freshened up ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumby, P.M. me your phone and or email and we'll yammer about Fantics sometime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timolgra Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I thought my 200 was fantastic, then I fitted a new Dellorto carb and exhaust....jeez what a difference. Very crisp, perfect fuelling, loads of power and importantly very light. I love it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them bar risers look a little high you could try some 7.5inch bars i've seen some sell on ebay for a reasonable price. Nice 200 keep up the good work, or ideas...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htrdoug Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) Them bar risers look a little high you could try some 7.5inch bars i've seen some sell on ebay for a reasonable price. Nice 200 keep up the good work, or ideas...lol Bar risers make for a more natural position when you roll you bars forward,high rise bars seem to do weird things with the angles when rotated forward from a trail riding position,but he might try lowering the footpeg mounts to get down into the bike,then use less rise at the bars. BTW,That 200 is beauty! Edited March 24, 2011 by htrdoug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timolgra Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 WOW,..That's BEAUTIFUL !!!! It is nice but I take no credit for it's creation, that was all down to Furse, above. Apart from lots of tinkering, just the new Dellorto carb and exhaust have it running perfectly. I believe Furse fitted fork internals from a different Fantic model. After a lot of research and advice the NJB Trikshox's already fitted seem to be the most suitable although I could perhaps do with slightly stronger springs (too many pies!). I've fitted a slippy clutch cable and extended the clutch actuating arm with a 428 chain link, it's now a one finger operation. I've no excuses left now!

andy m Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 How do you extend the clutch arm with the link?? Also some say move the pegs and some say not?? Do you think it makes much difference ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timolgra Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 How do you extend the clutch arm with the link?? Also some say move the pegs and some say not?? Do you think it makes much difference ?? Just bolt the chain link to the clutch arm, it just extends it the right amount then fit the cable through the link. My footrests were already moved and seem perfect. Having ridden old twinshocks with high pegs I much prefer them a bit lower and rearward but believe the concensus is the Fantic 200 doesn't need them moving very much.
