  1. Not weird David, it was an idea used by many tool maker at the time to allow the head of the screw driver to slip more easily in the palm of the end when you put pressure on it. You grab the '' grooved '' body for grip and use the ball in in the palm. Guy

    What is the difference between a 2003 280 TXT and a 2003 280 PRO, especially for a novice rider. What should I be looking for ( or not ) when buying Thank you for the advise Guy
  6. I have been running 12 / 55 on mine for years and I like it, I had the chance to try different combinations and this fit OK. Guy
  7. The Yamaha guys are a sneaky bunch, I would not be surprise that they come out with a nice Yamaha made trial moto in the near future if the response to this one is good. Guy

    315R Parts

    I ride TS but a friend saw this 315R and is thinking about buying it, so he ask me for advise ( that I could not give him on the bike itself ) but I told him I would check with you guys if there is a problem with parts. I would like him to buy it so he could ride with us but not if it's if it's more problem than pleasure. Guy

    Show Us Your Ty

    I think that a good breaking in is necessary, specially with a Wiseco piston Guy
  12. I remember talking to Mick Andrews about leading axle ( boring the std yokes to fit 35 mm TY Mono fork ) on my TY TS and the first thing he told me is that I would have to make the steering angle 1 degree steeper. Guy

    Show Us Your Ty

    Not if I was the owner, but I hope he get it out of the showroom. Guy
  16. I need a new rod kit for my TY 250 1977 ( Canada ), I think all TS TY250 can use the same connecting rod. Does anybody know the part number for Hot Rod, IMS , ProX or other rod kit that would fit my TY ? Thank you for the info Guy
  17. From my experience, helmet cam does not give me good result, handlebar mount is better, but I never tried chest mounted.Maybe next year.

    Project 8X4

    I normaly use genuine pads but the last set I bought where not ( i'd have to look if I still have the box to tell you witch yhey where ), and I did the same thing : as wide and deep and no problem up to now. Winter is comming so it's time to make an overall, I will take a good look if they seem to be deteriorating. Guy

    Project 8X4

    I always groove my TY shoes in X patern with a 3/16 file down to the metal. I never had problem and I think they work ok for a 75 Yamaha. Guy
  20. The motor should be raised an inch I think. Guy

    Front Brake

    You have to install the cable on the holder not attach to the arm. ( specialy when new ) Guy

    Timing

    Yes, but the heavier the the flyweel the slower the response on and off throttle, and you have to consider the position of the weight: the further out the more effect it as on the motor. With the heavy TY B flyweel, the throttle response is slow and it seem's to take forever to get down to idle speed. I think I have a picture off the A and B flywheel, I will try to find it and post it. Guy

    Timing

    David, I will keep your advice in mind. I should be able to make a good test ride this week end, so I will be alert to stalling. I have an unmodified A model apart my heavy B model flywheel so if the bike have a " stalling tendency " , I will go back to a standart weight A model flyweel and see if the rider isn't the cause of the bike behavior. I also try to ride without the clutch. Guy
