Ty Mono Cylinder Work.

Just got an 86 ty250r and had the top end off for a look. It's not bad but has some scratches. It's got a piston with 50 stamped on the crown. Also has a shaped crown rather than even curves. Only have ordinary vernier calipers so only measred the bore at the very top. Seems to be 68mm there. Can anyone tell from any of this whether it's already been rebored. Does the 50 mean 0.5 oversize?

Also any one know if Birketts will still do the 270 kit & shorten the inlet tract? Last posts i've seen were about 4 or 5 years ago.

Cheers.

It's usual for metric pistons to be stamped in mm, so

.25

.50

.75

1.00

and so on.

It's more than likely it's a 68.5mm piston.

 

I'm not certain as I've never done one, but the 270cc might not be striaght forward rebore.

All the past bikes I've tried to take out like this needed the mouth of the crankcase opening up, but I could be wrong!

The shortened inlet doesn't make a lot of difference. You can make more difference by reducing the flywheel weight, porting or using a bigger piston.

Your piston seems to be a 68.5mm. Birketts supplied me with a 69mm woosner piston last year which worked perfectly. Please be aware that some suppliers sell 70mm pistons from other yam models but they tend to have the wrong gudgeon pin height so the base of the barrel has to be skimmed. Just check the gudgeon pin distance from the piston crown before buying. The woosner was the correct height.
