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.

Bought this last week. Suspension linkages at the rear are very loose, no bearing in the top of the steering head & the front wheel is badly buckled, oh and the engine doesn't run either.

Wrighty called me this evening and mentioned that he is short of a Garelli and a Moto Gori trials bike for his show next year. There are a number of themes to the 2010 show and Italian Twin shocks is one, he would be very interested in speaking to anyone who has a nice example that they might like to display. Pete

I understand that in 1986 improvements to the TY frame were made, anyone know just what they are? Thanks

On the verge of locating and (hopefully) purchasing a 2nd plastic tank. Anybody own one of Paul @ Shedworks tank shelters for a ty250 mono? IMO they look great, but... Questions; How easy is it to remove for servicing the air filter? Do you remove the shelter and the tank stays in place each time? Or is the rear tank bolt not fitted and the whole thing pivots up at the front? How strong is it? ie can you sit on it, resting, in between sections? Any other opinions? Thanks in advance.

Im restoring this 1986 GasGas 325 Halley at the moment and Ive run into a problem. The rear wheel around the bearing is cracked beyond repair. Weld would simply break at this stress point and in any case the metal does even take weld, particularly well. Welding is out of the question. It is a Nagesti 120mm internal diameter drum rear hub. Nagesti were absorbed into Akront. Merlins were fitted with 110mm Nagesti's so this is not good enough. Does anyone have any knowledge of other bikes that this rear hub was fitted to ? Thanks in advance

Yamaha TY 250 mono on ebay item no 260361410268. Anyone know anything about these, also mention of a new exhaust system coming out ?? Sorry I can't do link it doesn't work .

Just got an 86 ty250r and had the top end off for a look. It's not bad but has some scratches. It's got a piston with 50 stamped on the crown. Also has a shaped crown rather than even curves. Only have ordinary vernier calipers so only measred the bore at the very top. Seems to be 68mm there. Can anyone tell from any of this whether it's already been rebored. Does the 50 mean 0.5 oversize? Also any one know if Birketts will still do the 270 kit & shorten the inlet tract? Last posts i've seen were about 4 or 5 years ago. Cheers.

Is there anyone who still produces aftermarket Pink Mudguards (Fenders) for the TY?

Simple, thanks again to thai-ty.

Besides the obvious disc brake, graphics and I think rear spokes is there much differenc between the TY mono with red frame and plastic tank and a Pinky. Not fussed on the TY with a steel tank. Thanks in advance

Does anyone have any experience of any relly heavy duty stapler guns that may be suitable for upholstering a seat. Not mickey mouse - not focus , b and q diy jobs I need to firmy fix metal staples into plastic and ive tried 3 fairly good staplers and they are not up to the job. The staples bend and the is not enough power. Air stapler ? Electric stapler Any recommendations from experience?

I have a 1991 model TY250R with the plastic tank. I have attempted to put new decals on it but within a day they have formed hundreds of bubbles underneath. Anyone have any suggestions? Is there something I can prime/seal the tank with to stop the vapour seeping through?

Different I suppose.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/sherco-fourstroke-wi...=item3efb1ad181

Does anyone do lowering brackets for the TY mono foot pegs? I know Sammy Miller does them for the twinshock. I'm keen to avoid cutting and welding if I can. If I can't avoid cut and weld does anyone have any drawings to help fabrication?

When running, I've oil dripping from gear change shaft, easy fix or engine split ? Ty250s

Hi have nearly finished my TY mono rebuild . I've found a few problems on the way & would like to discuss them. My bike has a YZ 250 front brake plate fitted & iv'e had to machine a extended torque lug for the fork leg/ brake plate,anyone else had to do this? I also found that the carb had had a few DIY mods on it that didn't work very well.Corrected this by adjusting the float height to 23mm with the float tang just seating in the float valve slot, next fitted 42 pilot jet, highly vented air box lid, 145 main jet & needle back in the std position , air screw 1, 1/2 turns out. Bike now starts easily & runs like a top. Plastic petrol tanks don't fit very we…

I posted a topic in yamaha forum asking if anyone knew where I could get the extended arm type clutch lightener for my TY250 but no joy, thought I would try posting it in aircooled mono forum as it seems to get a wider audience. A couple of people suggested making one but I don't have access to metal working equipment. I am sure that someone somewhere must be still make these in a little workshop as so many bikes seem to have them (except mine!) I have just finished restoring my TY back to it's former glory which I posted in the Yamaha forum recently and am looking for the clutch lightener to further improve the riding experience, and my skills!! Any help / contacts …

Picked up another TY350 today, loaded with spares, including an NOS std bore piston and rings! Score!!
