A closed mind is worst than no mind at all Guy

I know I should not say that but the clutch is such a good friend in some situation. Guy

I don't think numbers are important here as electric motor do not delivers power the same way a combustion motor does, and by the way, the first mono where laughed at. Guy

Have you tried to loosen the fuel cap when it dies ? Guy

There might be 10,000 km of off road trails in the FQMHR but I ride either a Ty 250 or a Beta Rev with no light or turn signal, and frankly I'm not interested in riding full throttle in a field. As for the ATAQ, they are a great bunch of guys that organise competitions, and there is also a vintage trial group that also organise comp that I attend and really enjoy. But I like to ride ( trial terrain ) not compete. I like to ride just for fun. As for you Leosantanalg, don't throw the line too far, you might see me coming around one Saturday morning. I went to Vermont last year to meet the guys, the Vermont Plonker, and I can promise you that if I still have my bike I will be back this year. Guy

I'm in Quebec and I thinking about selling my 2 bikes because of land issue, I can't find place to ride. Guy

At least I'm not alone ! Guy

Dunlop GP Lots of traction, good price Guy

I use Lysol between stripping and washing, I don't like it when I can call my helmet and it crawl to me by itself. Guy

Try the cold water treatment. Guy

I had time to do a little work on the motor yesterday, as you mentioned David, the crankshaft on the clutch side is different. From what I have measured, they would be interchangeable if you use the primary drive gear of the same year as the crank if you do not use the oil pump. Also the axle main 14t ( 434-17411-00 A model ) and the clutch ass'y won't be interchangeable. I don't have anything to check the weight of the crankshaft , but the A model look heavier, that maybe one of the reasons Yamaha added weight on the flywheel ( they sure overdone it ). On that subject, I always take the ring on the flywheel and use an A model flywheel on my B. Guy

I'll split one of the A base that I have, I thing it's worth it now. Guy

I split the base and I think I had reasons to fear. I only have A model parts list but I'm sure everybody will understand. On the output shaft ( on witch the chain sprocket goes ) called in the manual part 17 axle drive, the last gear, part 18, gear 2nd wheel is not free as I was expecting it, So is that shaft on a D model interchangeable with one from an A model ? I could use the complete shaft ( with all the gears ) Guy

No luck here, I have 2 friends who ride KT, but none of them have tried that ( at least they won't tell ) Guy

So all transmission, clutch and crankshaft are interchangeable. Guy

Any parts from A TY A model I could use T completely rebuild a D model ? Guy

Jon, winter is coming ! Guy

I wonder if anybody as ever put a 250 TS TY and a Mono TY motor on a scale ? I am in the process off rebuilding a TS and find the motor heavy. Guy

Space the shock with washer.

I would not be ashamed to ride one ! Guy

canada280i I found the one on Kijiji this weeckend, it's a bit more expensive then the one ( I hope it's not the same ) I was offered. I don't fell '' the love ''. Guy

What are the pros ans cons off buying a 2013 Ossa 290i Guy

Yes the water treatment does help a lot. Guy

How cold should be the water? Guy

Unfortunately Take_a_Five you might have to buy a new piston as a 40 year's old oil injection pump is very unreliable thing. Guy
