supergrandad Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Hi Guys and Gals, I have just bought a Fantic 200. I have started getting it in order and found today when cleaning and refilling forks with new oil. That one of the Fork top nuts which has a Grub screw in the middle has one of the Internal Ball and Spring Valve missing. Now do I actually need these in ? will what little air is passed through this small hole have a big affect on the forks. Or how about I block off the hole ? will this have an affect on the forks. But if anybody can point me in the right direction to buy new ones maybe that is what I should do. I also have another big job to complete, it will not start NO Sparks, I have ordered a new electronic ignition system from a company called In Motion which does away with the coil etc, so hopefully I should be up and running soon. I think to replace a 27 year old system makes good sense. I am new to this 1980 twin shock stuff, looking forward to using the forum Thanks in advance Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supergrandad Posted September 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Thanks for that info, But I do not need the whole items. I only need the internal Ball and spring Valve. However this company might sell them or know who does. Regards Ken. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stroke4stroke Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Just scrounge a ball bearing and cut a ball pen spring to suit? It's not too critical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not too critical. I think you could well be right. I will see how hard it is to replace them. Thank you for the reply. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure Ive seen then advertised though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
