gasgas249uk Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 (edited) I have a very tired fantic 240 which i'm working on at the moment and would appreciate the any help of the following please. 1. What length were the standard rear shocks , eye to eye. 2. To establish if mine are shot .... What thickness are the clutch plates supposed to be ? (I've got a micrometer). Thank you Edited March 30, 2006 by gasgas249uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fracy Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hey Mate: Just went down to the shop and measured the shocks on my 83 240 Fantic which has the stock Marzocchi's on it.( Which are very good in my opinion) They measure 14inches from eye to eye! Can't help you on the clutch question though! Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilertrialler Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 falcon shocks are the best and he will build them to suit your weight the 2 sizes for the fantic are 13.5ins or 13.9ins. not sure what were stanard we have used both. contact bill pye on 01642 722378. he knows all there is to know on fantics and has most parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee harris Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 36cm or 13,9 inches. Use the clutch plates you have as mine are under the change limit and the clutch doesnt slip. The springs are more important that the plate thickness. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps i'll try a small washer on each of the clutch bolts and see if that improves things. Is that what you meant ? Or perhaps i'll sell it ....Hmmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 you must never sell the fantic !!! you have to keep the marque alive !!! Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasgas249uk Posted April 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Thanks for the replies. In the end i reduced the length of the tubular clutch spring spacers by 1mm making the springs compress more. This solved the problem with what appear to be new clutch plates. It also saved me dosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
