Hi, I am on the look out for a Pinky Yam 250, as a novice I have been advised by a couple of mates that a Pinky is the way to go as I have a TLR200 and although I like it I just can not seem to get on with it. (Stop waffling) I have seen a Pinky for sale, it has been bored to 270. I was wondering if the rebore would change the bike that much power wise for a novice (read crap rider) also the inlet manifold has been shortened to "improve" power. Again should I as a novice maybe stay away and find a bog std 250. Or to put it simple. What does a 270 kit do to a Pinky. Thankyou.

I have designed a plastic cover for TY tanks that will cover the old plastic one and make it look like new. The whole thing is simple to use and will offer protection to the tank in a fall as well. The unit itself is in three pieces and assembled around the tank. I am trying to judge the need for the product so if youe interested let me know. madproffesor@easyriders.com Thanks

Just finished a rebuild on my Pinky, I've bought a metal tank off an older TY mono for now but I was wondering if anybody has any ideas on how to clean up the outside of a mono plastic tank?. I dont't want to spray it as I know it will bubble off, surely there must be some kind of a mild acid soap that can take off the horrible yellow colour these tanks seem to go....any thoughts?

Hello boys and girls. I have just bought a TY250, (1993).Info on its exact model name would help. It is my first foray into trials bikes. I have off-roaded on my DR350, but always fancied trials. As a total wobbler, can anyone give me any advice on good sites to get info, and preferably a manual, for the bike? Also, anywhere to have a go at some gentle trialling. I am near St. Albans, Herts.

I noticed there were a few questions about the majesty range thought some one would be interested in this

You certainly have to be careful buying bikes on E-bay.If the special Fantic wasn't enough, this guy's trying to sell a TYZ with no airbox or cooling fan. He explains "that it has the usual Yam rattles, yes even watercooled ones rattle". Well what a surprise! See here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Yamaha-ty250-ty-250-...1QQcmdZViewItem So I thought I'd ask where they were. This is his reply: "Hi there,as the photo clearly shows there is an open filter i didnt bother mentioning it.I didnt even know it should have a cooling fan." So I explained politely that it most definately should have an airbox and cooling fan and he replied with this: "Individual filters which do not …
