  1. Personally I'd keep the stock swingarm and suspension but fit the TYZ wheel and fabricate some form of mount for the disc caliper. Can't be all that hard... I've been talking about doing it for years along with the front wheel/front disc from a TYZ.
  2. Howdo, I've been out locally round the shops and can't find a new TMX. I've also been online googling and have spoke to a variety of people, but not the people I want. Ellastone Offroad please anyone? Or a breakers I can get spares for a 1988 TY250R?
  3. I run mine on the cheapest nastiest oil that my local bike shop stocks, mixed at 50:1. Been doing it for 4 years and it's never oiled a plug up.
  4. I dunno about everyone else, but I've always found my Talon front disc to be a bit rubbish compared to the Pinky front disc, better to upgrade to one of them if you ask me.
  5. I haven't found anywhere in the UK so far. It looks like this diaphragm, but it's wider than this: http://www.ajpamerica.com/images/parts/R346010.jpg
  6. Hey, just stripped my front Talon disc brake down, and the diaphragm is too swollen to get back in. It's a Brembo brake lever, and the Diaphragm is a Brembo 10 271140 (The 10 is also offset upwardsso I don't know if this is relevant to the part number or not). I can't find one anywhere online. Haven't rung round locally yet but just wondering if someone on here has ever had to find one and if so, where could I get one from? Cheers.
  7. Danny's doesn't "love himself" at all, he's one of the most level headed guys from trials I know! (Pedally and motory. ) Post the old Coust vid from 2004 Dan, and when you were on the news in your back garden haha. I read in your other topic you're thinking about buying a bike? Want to come out with me and Ryan for a go some time? Dunno how much motorbike trials you've ridden in the past.
  8. Could you post some details of more of the mods you've done? I'm collecting information slowly for if I can ever find one in the UK or afford to import one.
  9. Get it running, roll it along and tread it into gear, then just work your way up to 3rd or 4th. (You can change gear easily without the clutch if you're gentle). Then hold the clutch in, and accelerate hard until it starts to slip. Used to work on our old 175 twinshock!
  10. Hi Skippy, it sounds exactly like mine used to be like. Turned out mine was the main jet being really old and it was worn out, so I replaced it with another 140 (but new), and it runs excellent now. Keep an eye on the spark plug, the centre should be really clean on these if it's running right, if not it'll looks black and coated with either oil or soot. My brothers bike is terrible, we went through the whole bike and put new crank seals in, repacked the exaust (front pipe and silencer), tried different main jets etc and it's still not right.
  11. I've been riding motorbike trials for about 5 years but not much for the last 2/3, certainly in the last year I've only ridden the motorbike about 4 times max, but every time I do get out on it I've improved loads just through riding my push bike all the time. You don't really pick up bad habits because they're so different, the only time I've seen that happen is when motorbike trials riders try to ride their push bike like motorbikes.
  12. I know a guy who's lad had one, I'll point him in this direction. (y)

    Rebuild Cost

    OK just got the top end off, everything is only just within the service limit. Turns out when I shone a torch down the side of the piston I thought the gap was about 2.5mm because it only reflected off the flat side, the tapers that miss the pins in the piston ring grooves didn't reflect any light back. Before long it will need the big end and little end replacing though, they have a tiny bit of twist and up and down play, but my old TY was worse when we rebuilt the engine 4 years ago.

    Rebuild Cost

    At the moment I have got just about enough spare cash to do the main bearings, seals, big end and little end, but if I'm going to have to get it rebored and a new piston in there then I think I might well do a load more mods to it I've been wanting to do. Shortened inlet, lower and move back the footpegs, extened the rear shock bracket, make another groove on the shock so I can increase the preload, and a few more besides!
