hey all, nice to see an active trials forum. I have been on here for a while but figured a late intro is better then no intro. I have a 2000 Monty 315r. I had a 96 Beta Alp before that. Been ridding for about 3 years now and look forward to ridding my first event this season. I live on Vancouver Island and the group I ride with manily ride on mountain bike terrain. We ride up thier down trails. we climb close to 4000' in a ride easily, the terrain here makes me feel blessed as we have some killer trails. will have to post some pics. thanks for the good site, I just started tunning my suspension a bit inspired by talk on this site. Might try the quick throttle too.

I'm looking to buy a TLR 250 R or 200, any advise on these? Do I really need the 250 to drag my 15 stone carcass about? anyone selling in the Glastonbury area? Cheers Steve

Hi, I rode trials back in the 80's but then had a severe case of speed fever! i rode MX, Enduro's even road racing. But now with more kids 'n ex wives than you can shake a stick at i decided its time to slow down and re-dicover the ART of riding a motorcycle rather than just looning about on one. I'm looking for a cheap bike to get me started, TY pinky is favorite at the mo. Anyone with one littering their garage, and want to get rid, just e-me. Cheers, Paul.

I have returned to riding any form of motorbike after a 20 year Recently purchased a Yamaha TY250 Air Cooled, MonoShock - the Manufacturers plate states TY250S. I need to get information Parts/Workshop Manual to be able to give it a good servoce, Engine Oil, Fork Oil etc. There does not seem to be any after market manals avialable - I have checked with Yamaha Motor Co. Can anyone assist me in this area? Steve P.S. Don't buy a bike and ride it without getting any safety gear.......stupid.

Hello, my name's Felix, I'll keep it short, I used to be into trialing quite a lot and had a Gas Gas 125, however I had to sell it to free up some cash, it didn't really matter coz I am pretty crap but I still missed having a bike, recently I came across a Yamaha TY250 Pinky, it's a nice bike. Anyone else have one and know any common faults with them or easy jobs I can do to make it better, I'm not much of a mechanic, I'm gonna wash it off and clean it out, put some stickers on, that'll make my Pink bike look cool

Hi people just introducing myself. Fairly new, done 4 trials on me TY 175 -loving it. 9 other bikes/projects and off to seek help on Twinshock forum for the latest, a Dalesman of all things. Good forum, cheers, Loydee
