Parts, that's where the TY shine. Guy

I asked that question a while back, no answer came. Guy

I have 2 X 71.00mm on hand one weigh 225g the other 240g and one 70.25 mm that weigh 224 g. I don't have any DT pistons on hand anymore. It is an easy job to cut the corner on the skirt of a DT piston to fit the TY crank. Guy

I will try to weigh them tomorow and post the results Guy

I posted a picture of 2 piston sold as original TY piston, one is from a DT model and the other a TY original.

Is the rim clean? Guy

+ - 10 hour with Motul Trans Oil 10 W 40 in my ST 250. I'm a very ordinary rider but I like to have a fine tune bike. I don't see any degradation in the oil when I change it, the clutch for me is just right, meaning not too grabby oy slippery. Beleave it or not, I can find the neutral easily anytime. Guy

The weather here alowed me to check for a bloked gearbox breather, after finding the right one, at first I checked the one that goes to the fuel pump, I found the small tube that you guys pointed me. It did not seem to be '' hardly '' blocked but certainly lightly bloked. I could not run the bike for a long time after the operation, I was due to bring it to the storage place for the winter, but for the time I let it run idling, it stayed dry, so I hope that the problem is solved. Thank you for the advise, I'll keep you posted this spring

Hummm... food for thought. Guy

I don't recall any nasty hit. Guy

I notice yesterday a small leak of what look like oil just under the water pump, not from the pump cover but from the clutch gasket. I will order a new gasket and change it before the spring but 1) any toucht what the cause might be beside a bad gasket ? 2) to change that gasket, do I have to just take the cover off or do I have to, for example, take the clutch out ? Guy

It's time to go outside and bread slowly, keep some capital letters for the next year. Guy

Well here 1 F this morning, frankly too cold for my old bones Guy

The only good thing about winter is: when the temperature drop below 20 f, I take all my trial gear outside for 4 to 6 hours. I always dry, clean and desinfect all clothing, helmet etc. after every ride but noting kill bacteria like the cold treatment Guy

Can't you change the inner liner for a large, if the shell is the same, it might help Guy
