Hi there. How easy is it to fit bigger wheels to a TY80 ? My son looks like he'll be a bit big for his Ty soon and I was thinking that I could pick up some bigger wheels to make it last him a bit longer. I have a spare frame and swinging arm which I am prepared to modify. I thought that wheels from a DT50 or similar would do, or maybe just a set of rims to lace the original hubs to. I reckon the first thing to change would be the fork length by making some spacers to fit on the original forks and also lengthen the swingarm or manufacture a new one to take the larger wheel. If I kept the suspension mounts in the original place it should raise the back end enough so that …

I am in the process of preparing a Majesty 200 using an old TY175 as the donor to the Majesty frame, tank and other bits I have acquired. However I have just realised that the TY headset bearings are different to those that are required on the Majesty. The frame (I am reliably informed) is the Mini-Majesty type as the front downspars are straight and it uses the original bolt-on 'remote' TY footrests. Do any of you folks out there know the correct bearing numbers for the frame? I am getting desperate to finish the bike in time for its first outing on April 4th when I hope to be competing with an arch rival and a large sum of money is involved!! Eiger.

I'm also looking for a source coil for my TY and wondering if one from another model will work ? maybe an earlier model ? (mine is an 84 ) or maybe a source coil from a DT or an IT any idea's ...? thanks

Hello everyone, I'm hoping someone can do me a big favor and provide me with the measurements for stock 1975 spokes, front and rear. I have the original 16" and 14" wheels as well as the original 32 spoke hubs. I do not have any of the original spokes. I ordered aftermarket spokes which measure 137mm and 172mm and cannot make them work after many attempts. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Trialists, I have access to a bearing supplier and would like to know the bearing number of the tapered Timken type steering bearings upper and lower to replace the OEM ball bearings. Thanks guys.

Trying to figure out why my 84 ty does not have spark. The manual says coil resistance is supposed to be 240 ohms +/- 10%. My problem is I am not sure how you are supposed to measure coil resistance. The coil on the bike (Aftermarket)has a small wire going into it and of course the high tension lead for the plug comming out of it. Are you supposed to measure it from the small wire to a ground source on the bike?
