piggywiggywoo Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 On occasion my Fantic 200 rear kick jumps out of bottom gear. I have been advised it's likely to be the spring holding the location bearing under the selector drum. I have stripped the engine and removed the gear cluster and inspected all components, no obvious damage , gears and dogs are sound and no selector fork damage. I wish to replace the spring in case it's worn , but how do I find a replacement, does any one have a spec or a source, I believe there is no official stock left Any suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamferret Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Try a washer or two under the spring which will increase the rate. Frank Pye and bod Wright are the fantic dealers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section swept Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Rather than a few washers you could use a small piece of round bar. This would be the same o.d. as the spring. Adding a squirt of silicon sealant into the spring increase the pressure on the detent ball a tiny amount, sounds like a bodge but it can work. Best off with a new spring. Have you checked the gearbox shaft support bearings? Let us know your findings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
