    Went to my local garage today and the guy behind the counter recommended draining the carb after each trial. Sounds like good advice in case there's water inside but how do I go about doing it? I've got a sherco 290 2006. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks twinshockdude, will do.

    I’ve heard a few people mention that once I start my bike on the choke, to take it off the choke as soon as possible. Is this right? Does it matter how long I run it on the choke? Is there a better way to start a 2-stroke? I’ve never had any trouble in the past but just wanted to make sure I was doing the best for the bike. As you can probably tell I’m quite new to trials!

    Sounds good to me. Groove it is! I'll report back with how they perform.

    Just wondering if anyone has tried water groove brake shoes (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-TY-250-TY250-Mono-Front-Trials-Water-Groove-Brake-Shoes-/380554751654?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item589ad4aea6) and if they work? Thanks

    I was just wondering if the only difference between the Ty250 and 350 is simply the engine size/bore? I can only get hold of a workshop manual for a 350, and wondered how relevant it was to my 250. Looks pretty much the same, but my friend said that once about a girl he met in Thailand...

    Metisse, I've think you've hit the nail on the head! I'll probably have more fun fixing the existing setup and learning my new bike (and im certianly no expert rider!) I was put off the drum front originally at the thought of it not working after going through water, but I'm sure the proper shoes and setup would sort that out.

    Thanks for all the advice guys. I'm leaning towards the full front end swap which will be easiest. I've heard of people putting modern gas gas front ends in. If the fork diameter is the same I couldn't see it being a problem or is this a no no?

    Thanks for the advice guys. I was considering keeping the original front but when taking the bike out, the front felt very weak with the lever coming all the way back to the bar. Compared to the disc setup on my sherco it's night and day! Would it be worth while getting new shoes fitted first? Also has anyone used water grooved shoes? As you might be able to tell I'm quite new to the world of ty's!

    So, I've taken the plunge and purchased myself a ty250 mono that needs a little work and a few choice mods. The model I have features the drum brake front, which I'm looking to upgrade to disc. I was wondering if anyone knows of a front end from another more modern bike that will fit straight into the ty's yokes ??? Thanks.
