Morning all Ive just purchased a newly rebuilt ty250r mono 1985 Guess what she's pinking..ie irregular knock top end at low to medium revs..... it wasn't when I went for test ride, just hunting a bit, but guys at shop said it needed to run ritcher so raised the needle .. to the top..by lowering the circlip to the bottom notch, messed with the mixture screw and tick over..and it seemed to run ok, more responsive Took it for a spin once home and found it knocking (not all the time) Ive since popped the needle back a notch and it kinda improved it .. I wish to put the needle back to centre notch as original and start again... but would like to confirm w…

Hello, I have a '91 Yamaha TY250R "pinky" that I purchased a few years back, it was the bike i learned to ride on when I was 13 and was sold to someone else and I scored it when it came up for sale on kijiji. The bike has suddenly developed an issue, when I put it into gear from nuetral into first gear with the clutch fully engaged the bike lunges forward and immediatly stalls. The bike is idling normally and the last time I rode it, was nearly a year and a half ago I recall this being an issue but I dont recall the clutch being worn out. Does anyone has any ideas of what may be causing this? thanks.

Is this standard size pipe into the silencer box?

Does someone sell OEM style TY175 handlebars? They are pretty tall and some people call them ape hangers. They also have no cross bar support.

Last ty 175 was 34 years ago. All works to this one carried out by and credit to previous owner.Have tried it out on some local sections and i find it very easy to ride, light, responsive, grippy. A happy returnee to Yamaha. Stuart.

Looking for pics of john hulme and mick Andrew's bikes, I cannot seem to find any other than John's bike on this site, any ideas?

Are these frames still being produced ? I know 175 ones are, but 250 ones ?

getting a ty175 next week, been many years since i had a bike, can anyone recommend the best modern 2stoke oil and ratio to start with, cheers

Hi I've had my ty 250r mono for a while now and has Been a very capable machine for my needs . The only problem I have is the mono shock spring unit is to soft and it bottoms out and the chain grinds . It's on the max setting for rebound . I'm 17 st so might be the fact I'm riding it or may need a replacement? At 360 quid for a new one any ideas welcome cheers stu

Hi all , I have a yam frame bike ..it looks like it had majesty treatment.. had its rear shock mounts gusseted and lowerd ect. Shock mounts cut off but visable. Front half of frame is altered and looks like a godden...toolbox is gone..and tubes have been fitted. It has been mono shocked and I think that has been altered from the first attempt...I have been on here under the name shocker. Any ideas to its origin ...? Cheers all

Hi All, I've looked over previous threads and would be grateful for your thoughts. I brought a project and have,hopefully, sorted the engine and now looking at putting it all together. I know I'm not going to be an expert rider by doing so, but I love the Majesty look. Is it worth trying to get a D frame altered? Without waiting for Telford, does anyone know who undertakes such work?

Hi all , I have acquired a ty 175 in bits and trying to work out if it's a majesty. The frame come yellow but not sure if original colour, engine is black so had me thinking was bit different from others I have seen .its not got a fuel tank or seat so cant tell that way . would appreciate any help . Cheers

Hi everyone, I have a TY 175b , I got the bike a year ago and have rode it all season. It's transmission has been touchy and I have babied it through the year. It is my first one so I didn't know if this was normal or what. This past weekend I was at an Event and headed out to the first section it jumped out of 4th gear into a neutral and I could not get it to go into any gear after that. I pushed it back to the truck and it magically seemed to be working again. I headed back out and it did the same thing again in 2nd gear. I was done at this point and used a spare bike to ride the Event. I am not a very good mechanic and don't know where to start. I will pr…

Hi I’ve been doing up 1974 ty 250 last couple of years and come to the tyre part, not sure which way to go, original rims, but would like a road legal tyre if possible. Would like to put on x11’s but not sure about trimming off locating bead on tyre any help welcome

I have started restoring a 1975 TY80B that I recently purchased. First on the list is to repair the bash guard area which has been damaged and badly welded up. I'm not fully sure how to approach it at this point, but I'm thinking I need to cut out the guard plate, then try to reform the crushed C-section pressings on either side. To reform them I intend to get some round bar the same diameter as the inside of the C-section, bend it to match the bend to the down-tube, then heat up the C-section and press or hammer the bar into the section to reform it. Then i may weld some tube in to strengthen it. After that I use a bolt on Aluminium skid plate. Has anyo…

Hi all, I got a TY and have been loving it. At our Trial last weekend it started bogging off idle. I cleaned the carb tonight and when I checked the idle screw it was only a half a turn out. I always think 1 and a half turns is closer to what I use as a standard starting point. I am going to be competing this weekend and just trying to get some input for when I try to tune it up at 8000 feet. Opening that screw is leaning it out and would be the right direction for higher altitudes,Right. Raising the clip one notch will also drop the needle and help also, correct. just need some reassurance as I need a good running bike to compete with these guys that have 7000 dollars in…

Hi everyone, I just finally got my son a ty80 that was partially restored. The bike is leaking fuel from the carby, I hope that it's just the float being stuck, does anyone know if this is a common problem? Also, both clutch and brake levers seem a bit too big and hard to pull, does anyone here knows of a suitable replacement with an adjustable screw so that would bring the whole lever closer to the bars? I'm not really after shorter levers as they still need to be long to be pulled confortably. Do you know where I could get a side stand? The chain seems VERY loose, I either need to take some links off, or put a bigger sprocket, and I'd probably …
