My TY175 owning friend needs a side stand bracket....the one that is welded to the swinging arm. He tells someone was making them new a while back but I can't find any on the web....can anyone help? man thanks

Should be in my garage soon.

Due to a bonk on the head or unresolved childhood issues with my Mom I've become inspired to screw with my 78 ty175 in all kinds of ways... There are not very many area's that are not getting messed with and we'll have to see how the end result works (or doesn't...) For now though I'd love some clarification on rewiring/relocating my new condenser under the tank or out of the Mag cover. For as long as I've had the bike it has run ok with 3 wires soldered to the top of the condenser. 1 to points, 1 to the lower/larger of the dual coils at the front side of the mag and lastly of course the black wire to the HT coil. With this move of the condenser to its new location do …

Does anyone know if anyone sells a fiberglass seat for later seventies TY250? There is one available for the TY175 but haven't found one for the 250.

So after some light restoration of my sons ty 80 I've bolted it all back together , gone to start it and the revs are sky high , all the setting are correct , it seems like it may have anoticed air leak or something of that description. It doesn't seem to matter what I do to the carb it does not seem to make much of a difference, the annoying thing is I didn't touch the engine or carb all I did to the bike was a light cosmetic clean up can anyone help please ?

I just bought a 86 TY350 that's in excellent condition. It's has a Falcon mono shock and a aluminum silencer but appears otherwise stock. The previous owner claims it has a new rebuild but the bike wouldn't start. I cleaned the pilot jet and noticed the needle has a funny shape, almost a bulb on the tip of the needle. I assume this is normal? Anyway, after cleaning the carb it started up and runs great EXCEPT, a horrible knocking engine noise. I first thought it was the piston pin but after reading about "pinging", I now wonder if there's too much distance between the piston crown and head? I understand how to measure the distance but how much clearance is critical? Tha…

Which is the best repackable tailpipe for an 86 ty270 mono? Had WES go before but for a £30 saving is the DEP looking pipe that SM does okay?

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?

Hi there. My TY175's kick starter has begun to feel a little looser then before. Most worrisome is the fact that it seems to not "catch" or engage until very low on its throw. Unlike my TY250 which seems ready to catch and propel right away. Seems like the 175 only grabs and propels about the last 3 inches or so of its travel. Any ideas? Thanks

I have misplaced my manual and I am wondering if anyone can give me the proper point gap for a 1974 TY80. Thanks, JAS

Any thoughts, have seen quite few carbon efforts(don't know where to buy one) and a couple of alloy ones. thought about adapting original to suit? Cheers

has anybody fitted the mikuni vm24 carb to the ty 175 to improve performance or is it not worth it.

Hi, I got myself a cheap TY 250 s 1988 recently and I am considering a full restoration. The frame has a number of lugs and mounting points that aren't being used and I need a bit of help idetifying what is missing. To make it easier, I've marked the points on these photos. I've had a look at some images and I think #1 and #10 are for a removable rear loop. I think #11 is a mounting point for the original exhaust. The rest I have no idea, any help would be great. Thanks sam

Renewing bearings on standard ty wheels, old ones had inner seal removed and grease packed from side to side. New bearings are fully sealed. Should i remove inner seal and grease or leave them sealed and assemble dry. p.s. fitting with new alloy spacer. Thanks in advance. A

Hi, Currently working on my TY80 and looking to replace the exhaust system as it's completely knackered. I'm trying to find out if there is an upgraded system that could possibly be fitted? Like the WES systems that can be had for the TY175 etc

Hi All, I recentley bought a TLR 200, circa 1985, which is in good overall condition, and starts and runs well. Can any reader please give a point of view as to which is the best fuel - regular unleaded, or higher octane. And do any riders use octane boosters at all as an approach? I will be using the bike for club level intermediate level trials. Many thanks

Anyone know if new piston rings are available for a standard bore stock piston TY350? Thanks, Jimmy

Getting ready to send my head and cylinder to BJ Racing. I have bought many parts from them but never had any machine work done. Also thinking of sending a carb and reed block to them for work. Anyone here had experiences with their porting and head work. They seem to be good honest guys from my parts dealings. Thanks

That's how much need another ty175 but well.... I'm up to three now. Shes rough but all there. It was cheap enough for me to not hesitate. Couldn't wait to tear into it. On top of that I am temporarily housing a buddies because i'm a good guy. and my "Good" one is getting new points, tank respray, bars, chain and sprockets. Busy summer... --Biff

Does anyone know where i can get a straight 40t rear sprocket, have 41t dished one but it brings the chain to close the shock. I have also seen sammy miller have 39t any advice? Thanks in advance.
