    2026

    Is there any news on the 2026 models ?
  2. The last rear tire I bought for my 2015 Sherco was a Dunlop 803 GP rear and I still run the original Michelin front, it's time to refresh them. Here is a list of what's avalable in the area : Rear Dunlop K950, Geomax TL01 and D803GP - Michelin Comp - IRC TR-11. Front Michelin Light and Heidenau K67 ( never heard of that ). What is your experience
  3. I also ride mountain bike ( EMTB to be honest ) and when they became avalable I bought a MIPS rated helmet, mabe that's why I'm '' suffering '' so much with my trials helmet to the point that I'm looking at a new one with more ventilation.
  4. I agree with you Konrad, I need to try it on before buying, the problem I have here in Quebec, is there is not a lot off trials gear retailer and they are quite far apart, so any info will probably save me a lot of traveling.
  5. I know the subject of '' vent '' on helmet as been often ask, but with new model arriving every year, what is in your opinion the one today
  6. There might be a problem with the exhaust being partialy blocked

    TY 175 fork

    What is a good alternative to a TY 175 fork, I know many replace them with TY 250 fork but since there so few of them avalable maybe there is an alternative that does not require me to sell my home to buy Guy

    Majesty Frame.

    I modified the frame of an A model to Majesty spec a few years back. I think that the first thing to do is find a straight frame than build a jig. I'm sure you will find very good advise on this site.
  9. It sure look like an original 434 head with a modification made in an unconventional way. if it work, use it. The original plug wire must be short. Guy
  10. If I remember correctly, Yamaha made a version of the TY 434 to be use on farm i.e. more trail oriented. Does it have the foward footrest ? Guy
  11. Are you in North America?
  12. I've use fiberglass and plastic gard on a dirt track bike without any problem
  13. I'm surprise that no one ask: Have you tried any of them? Is there one that you feel better ridding? Guy
  14. I forgot, the chain of a trials bike doesn't very hot when riding, I think that it's the reason why the ATF work for me. Guy
  15. For half of a century, I've used ATF to lube the chain. After a ride I wash the bike than I generously lube with ATF, I wipe of the chain before leaving for the next ride. I found the lightness of the oil penetrate the rollers and push the mud out. Only thing, don't forget to put something under the bike. Guy
  16. I do agree with you Jon v8 that the Mikuni that come '' stock '' on TY are the best and I would never swap one for another make unless the original was worn out and I would not be able to find another original TY Mikuni, but the Mikuni VM are not the ideal replacement for a TY 250 in my opinion. Guy
  17. A few years back, I replace a TK carb on a model 434 by a VM32, I never could make it running well. I'm not saying that I'm a Mikuni engeneer but I know my way around them, if you don't find a rebuld kit, you should consider OKO. The comment are very good. Guy
  18. Are they still avalable ?
  19. 1st : FIT !!!!! the rest is up to you Guy

    TY175 Clutch

    When I use ATF to try to improve a clutch, I change the oil after acouple of hour of riding 2 or 3 times before deciding if I need to change the plates, sometime it work sometime....... Guy

    TY250 Flywheel

    I think that it throttle response is a personnal thing, for me no weight at all on the flywheel of my TY with an A model cylinder is the way I like, yes quick response but also the motor '' rev down '' faster when you shut the throttle. I have to say that I ride more in the mountain than I run trials event. Guy
  24. I have one question, is the sole of your boots flat on the peg when you ride? Guy
