Aircooled Monoshocks

hi guys, i have stored away in garage a jcm323, my father bought it brand new from peter quinn motorcycles in newcastle( im guesing 1983,1984) im sure it cost £1850 ?, also pretty sure he convinced my father this was one of two he had just got and the first in country, my brother brian young rode it up here in scotland with fair bit of sucess, it has not ran in 20 odd year and is complete and std apart from my father painting frame blue for some reason?? can anybody tell ne were the " chassis, bike number is located" thanks stuart young

G'day, Just got my restored TY running. It has a new Sammy Miller's alloy silencer, but it's running too loud for my liking. They advised that repacking (more packing) could be detrimental to performance. They make 'em so I guess they're right, but I imagine there's always another view. Anyone have any thoughts on this, or advice on how to quieten the exhaust overall. I burnt out all the carbon/crud from the pipe/middle section before re-installing, so that part of the equation should be fine. Is it worth getting the middle sectioin opened up and packed, or does this harm performance, too? Just thinking about all the options. Even considered that exhaust wrapping ta…

Hi all this is my first post having just purchased a Honda TLM 200f 1987 Having got the machine home i checked the bike and found the air filter to be junk! Called BAT motorcycles who have parts lists for TLM's Ordered OE filter

Picked up a 1986 Honda TLM200R to provide a back up to the TLR. The chassis appears good but the motor needs work. I have searched for a supplier of parts books but found nothing. Does anyone have a copy either as a file that can be emailed or a paper copy? Happy to pay for postage and copying costs. Regards, Peter.

Hi does any one know where i can get a 0.75mm piston kit for my Yamaha TY250R Mono from becouse genuine yamaha 0.75mm out of stock now. cheers

Hi Can any one tell me can you still get the stainless Pro Monty exhausts for the TY. I have a number and E mail but have had no luck in getting an answer so far.

hi what is the difference between the ty250 mono and the pinky version and which one would be the best to have cheers....

its a moto morini engine air cooled with manual clutch and four gears and a backwards kick, crank case inducted with a 14mm dellorto carb, does anyone know the engine model?, looked on various websites like harglo etc but nowt exact it looks like a very early one and i am worried about getting service parts etc, engine no is fgm30*000126

I bought a 44 H TY mono a few weeks back, fixed the igniton and put it in the shed while I finish a TS project, this weeckend I made a few round behind the house to find it very VERY " SLUGGISH " so I took the carb off cleaned it put it back with no improvements. I'm sure the exhaust need's a good cleane up but still I think the carb need's fixing. I have " on the shelve " a new roung slide 26 mm Mikuni ( VM type ), is it a good idea to try it on ? Or am I loosing my time, I know I have to modify the flywheel. but I have to start somewhere. Guy

Having decided to invest in an early mono to compete against the modern bikes in the intermediate class.. where should I put my money.. I fancy a Fantic 305 or the slightly more modern Aprillia climber . Having had neither back in the day, like a lot of people I had a mono yamaha , which way should I jump as I would like something a little different. If anybody has any whys or why nots please feel free... Thanks

This should be an interesting one to watch, hav'nt seen one up for grabs for a long long time, thought there might of been a few more quids on it. May need a few things to tidy. http://www.ebay.co.u...4.m1438.l2649

Non Bikes :- who decides ? What's the criteria ? Ariel with thinly disguised betor forks - ok Belt driven diaphram clutches - ok Billet hubs & yokes - ok Replica frames - ok Twin shock a mono - ?????????

Does anyone know the offset measurements for a TY 250 Mono rear wheel (drum brake)?

hi can anyone let me know where to download or purchase a manual or parts diagrams for the ty250 monshock or pinky thanks

I finaly found a TY Mono 250, I had a 350 a couple of years ago but could'nt pull myself to fix it ( a 350 was not what I wanted ) so I sold it for the price I had paid to someone who was locking for one. My new aquisition need some tlc but is in a fair shape, I don't want to make it a SSDT winner but a good reliable trial machine. In the serial number there is 44H so I assume it's the model, Since it's running I was able to test ride it at home and first thing that came to mind was " Am I on the second floor? " I am use to my TY A with the footrest lowered more than one inch. Now a few questions Fork oil, it says in the 350 cc manual ( the only one I could find ) 99 mm f…

Hi, I'm thinking about lowering the foot pegs on my pinky. Is it a worth while mod bearing in mind I'm going to have to pay for the work to be done and will it detract from the value of the bike ? Cheers.

after a few weeks of fettling and a bit of investment the project my dad started about 20 years ago is finished. a friend borrowed it and rode at the bognor club bluebeards trial on saturday 2nd. he rode the harder route and only lost 1 all day. the bike ran really well and never missed a beat, i've just got the bike back and its amazing how easy it starts. i've uploaded some videos of the trial. including one of it starting from cold, really pleased that it did so well. also check out the riding shirt i found in the garage http://www.youtube.c...A?feature=watch i think its now going to be sold to make room for the next project. cheers wayne

What is the standard ( front and rear ) sprocket on a 44h TY Mono? The only parts list I find are for 350 cc model, are the sprockets the same on 250 and 350 early Mono? And If anyone would share there experience with different size I would apreciate. Thank you in advance Guy

I've been thinking about getting myself an aircooled mono to go with my garelli 323, and was wondering what is considered the best allround aircooled mono??? I might do a few mods to whatever i buy like changing the footpeg position if needed.. i bought a 91' TY250r pinky(with a modified cylinder) on the weekend but am wondering should i buy something else instead? heres a pic of the TY

I`ve had a pinky for a while and when I bought it had a number plate with a reg but no V5. The seller said it came with a spare mudgaurd on but couldnt remember for sure. As I`ve just sold my roadbike and could do with switching my insurance policy to keep my no claims ticking over I would like to apply for the V5 but is this likely to cause problems. Anyone know of a way of checking the reg with the frame numbers to see if they match. I`ve ran a vehicle check with dvla and it comes back as a 91 yam but thats all.
