Anyone know if a spring compressor type tool is available for monoshock springs, car ones are too big, spent the last hour scratching my head - every idea i've come up with just compresses the damper rod as well as the spring - need some way to isolate the the compression to the spring only. Any tricks of the trade?? Thanks

Silly question here! Has anyone ever placed a 4s engine in a TY 175? I have this 175 but it needs motor and exaust, I see so many XR 80 thru 200 motors on Ebay for cheap, just wonder if this has been done? sam

Hi Does anyone have know a reasonable colour match for a TY 175 petrol tank? It dosen't have to be an accurate paint code or anything elobrate, just one of the (sometimes daft) names they give car colours would be great. Cheers

Hi Just putting my bike back together after a complete strip down (its a road registered TY250 Mono) The frame number is almost invisible, as far as I am aware the MOT tester has to input the frame number into the computer before testing. As far as I can see the options I have are: 1. Leave as is - the number will disappear completely when the frame is painted although the bike does still have the riveted on aluminium plate with the number on. 2. Restamp the numer into the frame - i've seen number punch sets for sale on the web - I assume the style will be slightly different from the original - will this look a bit dodgy? Has anyone else had this problem or know the…

Hi, I have a standard Ty175 but want to 'tune' it a bit and was considering boyesen reeds. What difference do these make and are they worthwhile. I have a miller tailpipe to be fitted but will wait until after reeds if thats the best way.

Found this on Ebay and thought it looked good! Take a look. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/YAMAHA-TY250-TY-250-...A1%7C240%3A1318

Can anyone here identify the tailpipe on this ty mono. Thanks in advance.

Any sugestions all welcome please help thanks

Am considering fitting a pair of TY250 air cooled forks to our TY175 Majesty which has the nickel plated Godden frame. I understand that the fork yokes are the same on both bikes but bored out to 34mm to accept the stronger legs in the case of the 250, but the Majesty has taper roller head bearings whereas the TY250 forks are loose ball bearings, does the taper roller bearing simply fit onto and in place of the ball race on tyhe TY250 steering stem? thank you for your help TRF

These bike are tough, rear mudguard sprang back into place, two kicks and we're off again

Well I had a wonderful weekend of riding but about 5 minutes before loading her back on the truck I seem to have blown a crank seal. Lot of bottom end noise for awhile and now the carb won't settle on an idle - guess air is getting past the seal on the flywheel side. Will get bearings and seals this week and start in. Have never split the cases on a TY250....... please...... anything I should watch out for ...... any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Alan

I'm thinking of fitting some new shocks to my TY175, mainly to raise the rear a little to try and improve the steering (360mm length perhaps) has anyone got any advice on what shocks would do the job, I was thinking of perhaps Falcon.Betor,or Hagon. and I'm not sure of what the best spring would be 40 or 50lb for my 12st weight. Any advice would be appreciated.

Just spotted this on e-bay and then it was gone, ended!!! Was it what I think it was ?? Majesty Steve
