Yamaha

I am thinking of buying a 1986 Yamaha TY 350s. I had three of them in the eighties and loved them. I talked to my local Yamaha dealer and he indicated that he could no longer get many parts for the motorcycle, including the parts required to perform a top end and clutch. I was wondering if parts for this motorcycle are still available? I live in the USA. Thanks, Eric

just got an 1984 yamaha ty125 but i have no manual. does anyone have any idea what oil i should use?

I want to get a 350 mono engine, but where can I find one in the UK? I don't want to buy a modern bike, because they are rubbish, and I know the 250 is normally considered smoother and easier to ride, I've just wanted a 350 for years. I've got the info for Ellastone offroad and I'll give them a ring sometime, but is there anywhere else to considor?

HI does anyone know the EBC part number for the TY 175/125 clutch ? Im not sure but I think its the same as a DT clutch thanks

Any ideas of the correct color for the frame on a TY 350?

My ty pinky is a bit on the soft side on the front forks and rear damper. It has gas in it and was wondering how much to put in the front and where to i can sort out the rear one. What grade fork oil should i put in them.

Hi Been stripping the paint of a recently aquired TY250 (59N) and found the number 75 stamped in the top frame tube about an inch back from the headstock. Really small numbers and obviously from the factory as they were not visible until I removed the paint. Anyone got any idea what they signify. Cheers Tim

A 1978 TY250 was left in a stable of a house I bought. After 20yrs of looking at it, I thought I'd get it going. The job was nearly done, but I fear I've just messed it up. The last step was installing a new carb, after which it started fine (multiple times) and sounded decent but did not have enough revs to tick over when the throttle was released. I was adjusting the Idle Adjust Screw, turning it clockwise, and starting to observe an increase in idle revs, when I realised I'd left the choke on. I turned the choke off, and the engine died. Since then I have not been able to start the bike. Not even close. Suspecting that after many failed starting attempts I had flooded …

Looking for advice on uprating the front end on my 78 ty Wondering if magical internals ,damper rods and springs along with adjusters are the way to go. Recently put rockshocks on the back what a difference that made, but now the front end feels dead any ideas? also can i get the drums relined anywhere to improve the brakes?

On a ty250a. Is the spark plug wire or high tension wire replaceable? I have replaced the cap or boot and terminal on the plug end but the wire is very hard and almost brittle. My concern is does the wire "thread" on to a treaded stud like the terminal end does? I don't want to go twisting on the wire and ruin the coil if it is a permanantly fixed wire in the coil. If it is replacable is there a special type wire or will any good 7-8mm wire core wire work? Thanks! Steve

Hi, I have just collected a ty250 twinshock and have a couple of questions, hope someone can help. The frame and engine number begin 493-2, am I correct in thinking it's a 76? It has did japan wheels too. The frame is blue and the tank and exhaust cover white with blue decals on the tank, is this a standard frame colour as I have never seen one before? Also the undercoat looks yellow so maybe it's supposed to be yellow but it does look like a factory kind of blue paint job? Can anyone help on this? It's a uk bike as far as I know! Future plans are to fix up to trial then restore when time permits. Cheers

Hi just finishing full resting of a 1974 Ty250a, only part I can’t locate is a replacement speedo bracket. Can anyone kindly help with a fix or an unwanted part. thanks david

hey i have trial 80 and im getting power from the magneto but no spark to the coil relly need help

The headlight blew on my TY175 so I ordered a 6 volt 25W/25W replacement. However the shop have sent me a 6 volt 35W/35W bulb. According to my calculations the 25W bulb uses 4 amps and the 35W bulb uses 6 amps. My Haynes manual says the unregulated AC circuit relies on the correct wattage bulbs being used. Has anyone else used 35W bulbs? Is it that critical?

I modified last year a TY TS ( raised the motor and inclined the shock ) . When I took it apart to stoire it I noticed that the chain now sometime drag on the swingarm, so I looked at some pictures of Majesty and they seem to have some sort of guizmo to prevent that. Does anybody have a pictrue of thing. Guy
