fantic240motor Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Here it is fitted. I couldn't find and original so this has been a cheap simple answer. I used the fixing bolt to hold the spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitehillbilly Posted September 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Thank for the pics. Great job, Wish I had asked for a pic before. Was wondering how to fit the spring and what length. My one will sit under the swing arm,more than yours. More pics to come.

fantic240motor Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 The spring is a standard Fantic item. I swapped the bigger one the stand came with for the Fantic item to avoid my heel catching it when descending. I did look at trying to mount the spring under the stand out of the way and it would be possible with a little welding. I was going to make a mount as I have a stand leg but this was much easier. The pegs are S3 Hardrock Steel type with the extra rear set. They bolted up to the stock mounts. I just needed to cut slight relief in the mount to allow the peg to flip up. I'll snap a picture. https://bvm-moto.co.uk/Trials%20Parts%20Clothing%20and%20Accessories%20/Footrests%20and%20Hangers?product_id=3027 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantic240motor Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 The bracket upright needed to be trimmed to help the footpeg lift up. I haven't had a chance to test them out yet but the position and extra width feels nice and stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breagh Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Your mounts look different to mine. My 95 has steel brackets quite basic really would think any footrest would fit? Just curious ,you ever had any powervalve issues? Mines running well now but doesn't like to pull on light throttle. PS mines not got a stand either so thanks for the tip.

fantic240motor Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) Your power valve may be stuck if you haven't checked it. I thought mine must be stuck as I couldn't notice any increase in power when I was riding so I checked it and to my surprise it was fine! Here's how I checked mine was working. I took the cover off drive on the crankcase and disconnected the cable. I had to take the exhaust off to get at the cover then put the exhaust back on to run the engine. You can see the arm move when the revs increase. I could feel the cable pull open the valve and hear the spring move when I gave the inner a tug. Later when I took the head off I could squirt lubricant and compressed air through the holes in cylinder wall as I pulled the cable by hand to open the valve so all good in there too. The valve doesn't appear make any big difference that I notice, certainly no surge of power that some people think happens. The engine is actually smooth and not harsh at all. Slow running issues could also be carb, reed valve or plug etc but I'm sure you've tried all those things. The footrest brackets are steel, the main brackets they bolt to are alloy.

whitehillbilly Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Hi A couple of quick questions. Is the bolt at the top of the stand spring, fixed with the bolt tight, or free for the spring to turn ???? Could you please post a pic of the stand, with it down. I don't appear to have a reed valve fitted ???? Thought it was because it had a power valve instead. Thanks shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Your reed valve block is on the cylinder side of the intake flange , If it's not there , I'm pretty sure the motor would not run well , if at all .... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantic240motor Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 The reed valve body is the metal piece between the inlet rubber and the cylinder. Worth having a look to check the condition of the petals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantic240motor Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Stand down pictures as requested. The fixing bolt doubles as the spring anchor and doesn't move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitehillbilly Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Thanks for the replies. Now I see the lock nut, so the spring can pivot between nut and head. Not visible in other pics. Whitehillbilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitehillbilly Posted September 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Your all right, reed valve fitted. Not sure why, last week I thought different. Bike runs real well will the fitted carby. At the last Trial, a couple of good riders had a go and really liked the way the very usable power range came in. Very easy for me to swap between the Fantic and Greeves. Will have another look to see I have the numbers correct. Thanks again. whitehillbilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantic240motor Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 As I said in your other thread concerning the carburetor. No reason why it wouldn't run fine on a similar carb from a same size trials bike so good to hear that. Nice to get some positive feedback from those other riders.

whitehillbilly Posted September 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 When replacing the pads on my Section, should they be bed in some how, or just bed in through riding. Thanks Whitehillbilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
