Aircooled Monoshocks

I am looking for some kickstart gears for a 1990 mont 310 same engine as 309,307 ect anyone any idears ?????????? please dont say sandifords

Anyone know if there is a place (preferably in the USA) that can rebuild a mono shock, shock absorber? Thanks, Jim

Hi, I have a TY250 mono with a pro monty front pipe and sammy miller back box and rebored to 261cc with wossner piston, just wondering if there is a carb upgrade from the original as can not get it to run right always running on when it gets hot tried cleaning carb out I have left jetting as it was. If there is a carb upgrade where to buy one from

Hummm I just picked up a ty mono 350 1986 that need tlc ( and love ) but I'm not sure I made the right decision to go for that 350, it seem's that a 250 would have been the way to go. Any advise, I'm very confuse. Guy

Hello new to ty's just got a 86 ty 250 mono with a couple of problems but one i can not work out when you rev the engine revs pick up slowly and throtling off revs die down gradually over 2 or 3 seconds .Have checked reeds and there is no gap, and carb slide is working opening and closing fine the cables not trapped any ideas ? thanks Adrian

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

A quick question? Does anyone know if a specialist tool is available to hold the inner fork mechanism when loosening the retaining bolt at the bottom of the fork leg? I read in an earlier posting that people have mede them with a Hex bolt welded to a piece of steel bar? Does anyone know the correct bolt head size to use? thanks Rob

hi guys can anyone help im trying to remove the engine in my ty250 mono but i cant get the bolt out that runs thru the rear of the engine case and the swingarm, i have tried heat, wd40 and i just cant get it to move and cant replace the mains and oil seals till i get it out thanks in advance j ps runing out of knuckles to skin now

Been noticing that there are a few after market shocks available for the TY250R. Rock shocks, Hagon and now even an Ohlins unit from CTC. Anyone fitted any of these and come to any conclusions on them? My original shock is okay so I'm not needing a replacement, just wondering about whether the performance is much better and what the weight saving is. Cheers Hoodie.

Hello there, I cut a small piece out of the back of the box for a look-see and it is a real mess of packed solid gunge and carbon. I've seen the very helpful pics from Searay175 on 03/11/16 (attached) but can't quite figure out the best place to cut the rear end of the box. There doesn't seem to be a lot of space to cut between the outlet and the mounting bracket like he did and it looks like that would be a real pain to weld up again. Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, I have recently had a TY Mono fully rebuilt (engine) but whilst it runs "ok", comparing it to a friends on Sunday who has recently bought one the engine goes appear more flat. Now that I know the engine itself is 100%, I want to explore the front exhaust (the rear has been replaced with a new box) and also the carb, so questions: 1) I have a brand new Mikuni VM26. Has anyone tried one of these and do they have a starting point for jetting (slide, needle etc) 2) Are replacement front exhausts available or is it a "cut it open and weld it up" affair? thanks, any advice appreciated....

I know theres been a lot of praise for the above bike inc pinky! but what are your veiws on this model heading for future classic status , and will they ever really be worth everything? bearing in mind there is still lots of them about?

Does anyone remember seeing a picture of a monoshock Ossa in the motorcycle news back in the mid '80's. I think is was a prototype that never made it into production. I'm sure it was designated a '303'. I'd like to see the picture again if anyone has it.

just purchased a 1988 txr and wondered if anyone knows where to get spares. cheers

Hi ! Anyone ever fit an alloy swingarm wheel & Disc to a TY mono from another bike, it seems it would be a great mod. The early gas-gas look similar ? Mine is a drum brake 84-87 TY250 Mono red frame. With a normal pinging motor ....PWK28 on the way from an yz85

The rear wheel on my skywalker has a broken hub. Does anyone know of a similar wheel that i could use. The rear is disc type. I have been told a gas gas may fit but not sure what one. Can anyone help.

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.

I have just collected my latest toy a JCM Vega which looks very original but has not run for a very long time judgeing by the state of the tyres. Any hints and tips on how to set up modify them? I think it has the 330 engine but need to lift the head to be sure.

Have just seen this Garelli 323 fuel tank on ebay in ITALY if anyone is interested- clicky here

Hi I have a JCM 323 that I use infrequently. At the weekend it started fine on the Saturday afternoon, but at the Sunday trial nothing (although there did appear to be a week spark). I suspected the kill switch and with this disconnected it works fine. The switch was connected to the blue wire on the Motoplat ignition coil and I think it just breaks the connection. Today I have fitted the lanyard type switch from my Beta (and it worked fine there). This still does not work, but again with the blue wires just connected it fires up every time. I have put a meter across the lanyard switch and this seems to show an open circuit with the cap on and …
