how goes my like minded and distant friends? Bought myself a mono ty 250 pinky and i cannot for the life of me trck down a workshop manual Haynes or otherwise. Has anyone out there in cyberspace have any suggestions? andy bone.

Ay up folks, just rebuilt my 92 Yam mono engine with new mains, big end, con-rod, gudgeon pin, crank seals etc. Also put a s/h 270 barrel and head (higher compression looking at the facing) with shortened inlet tract on it. Rode it yesterday, powerful but pinks like hell and from idle it doesnt rev cleanly, only a little bit but its not smooth. Any ideas? Eiger

gear lever or the kickstart come to think about it but mainly the gear lever . you see its rounding on me. i have used already a screw whiched worked for a while and now i wonder if i should drill through the lever and shaft and bolt it? what does anyone think? cheers now andy bone.

can any body tell me how to adjust the clutch on this bike plz apart from the cable cheers

How goes my like minded distant friends? well since i last posted anything i have bought myself a couple of new bikes. still ty`s but now i am the pround owner of a ty 250 pinky and a ty 80 small wheeled for my son. However there is a problem. the pinkey has the loudest clattering engine i`ve ever heard. i still have alot of power, alot more than the 175 i`ve been riding, it certainly does put a smile on my face even now as i write this post! So anyway back to the point. does the clattering engine mean that i should need to replace the piston and rings and then rebore? And if so where would i send it and how much might it cost? i look forward to your respected vie…

Hi, does anyone know the min-max air pressure to pump up my 59n mono 1987 250? It has the air valves fitted to the top of the forks, thanks Dave

Has anyone got an old TYZ mudguard with the Hamilton full length decal fitted that they don't want and would like to sell, or alternatively, would be willing to take a good photo of and e-mail it to me. I thought I had one spare myself but it must have been sold on one of my earlier bikes. These aren't available anymore and I'd like to get another made. We've had one go but it's not quite right so need an original pattern, or good photo of, to work from. Or, if anyone has a bike with one fitted and isn't really bothered whether they have the decal on their bike or not, I'd be happy to buy it off you for the cost of a replacement new guard. Picture attached of the decal…

I have a '91 TY-250 that I am rebuilding. I have managed to separate all the moving parts on the rear suspension setup apart from one pivot. The deal is this: It is a link with a grease nipple on one end and a nut on the other. It has well and truly stuck its self in and no matter what I try I cannot free it. Please help!

Does anyone know what colour paint that matches the TY silver, i've got an old TY175 and just looking for some paint to touch up a few bits on the frame, I dont have any decent paint shops near just Halfords, can anyone help? Scott

Just picked up a TY80 for my nephew to ride. Bike had been sitting but is mostly all there and after a quick carb cleaning it started right up. I am curious about the oil pump. Do most people run the oil pump, or is it removed and the bike run on premix? I know on my old DS7 and RDs we'd drop the pump for track use. Thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.

Hi There, How can I tell the model and age of my TY 250 Twinshock. Cheers, Vaughan.

I have just been reading an item in a book called The world of motorcycles about Mick Andrews, printed in 1977. A bit of history etc about his trials riding up to that date. At the end it says he is helping to develope a 4 stroke trials bike with Yamaha which will be popular in a few years. Anybody shed any light on this? Thanks.

Hi,about to change the fork seals on my TY175,what weight oil is best - manual says 126cc 10 - 20 - 30w?I am 13st ,also any tips on stopping the damper rod turning while dismantling.Thanks

sorry chaps but i want to try and save the original footrest mounts is there any oversized footpegs ie HEBO that will fit straight on to the above! without cutting/grinding/or welding anything? also orderd a alloy miller tailpipe for my yamaha framed 250 this had to have an 1"1/2 cut of the end and a 4" alloy bracket made up to bolt it on? but sounds and looks great! tried the 10/41 final gearing and its spot on the bike picks up and feels right now! ill proberly go for 11/45 just to save less stress on the front sprocket or wouldn't this make a lot of difference? also has anyone tried the uprated fork springs that b+j racing (usa) sell? cheers Nick.

Hi all i am in the process of dismatling my TY250 mono forks jap inport to change fork seals. the screw holding the damper inside the slider is just turning as is the damper rod inside. it looks like a special tool is needed to stop it spinning. anyone got a suggestion as to what i could use. i do not have a manual. download anywhere? is 300ml of oil ok for an average rider? thanks in advance. andyh

i have a 1995 yamaha ty 250 and was wondering if there was anything i could do to the carb to improve the performance i have taken tha carb off and there is a nut that screw on to the bottom of the jet and wondered if removing this would make any difference any help would be appriciated cheers tom

Hi I have just bought a WES system for my majesty 250, and i am looking for a chrome front pipe to complete the job. Any one here know who sells these? I was told the miller ones fit but surley they would be for a standard yam twinshock, whereas i got a MK2 godden framed bike.. Any help appreciated

does anyone know if the ty 250 and 175 tanks are the same could i swap one for the other

Hi i was wondering if anyone out there has fitted the WES full exhaust system to a yamaha framed ty250 majesty! the middle alloy silencer has a smaller diameter than the front downpipe so it wont just slip on? do i need a sammy miller front downpipe? if so does this need shorterning? i dont wont to use a rubber sleeve to make the join as this looks a right mess! also the oversized footrests and hangers that major suppliers are selling latley (the type where you have to grind of the original peg mounts to fit) i can see that you bolt the top part to the swingarm pivot but the bottom mount theres no thread to bolt to! just a long tube part of the chassis the only way i c…

I hope someone out there can help me. I have just picked up a TY250 (for better or for worse) for
