Thanks Metisse, but my bike is a later TY and I am looking for the pictured seat that would fit the 250. It would be like the tank/seat combo offered from Sammy Miller and others but without the tank. Don't know why no one seems to make one for the 250.

Does anyone know if anyone sells a fiberglass seat for later seventies TY250? There is one available for the TY175 but haven't found one for the 250.

Thanks

Still has original piston. I had heard that going 60 over is about it. Just wondered what others have found that works best.

Anyone know what the ideal overbore size is for my 78 TY250?

Thanks feetupfun for the info!

Yes the spacer size does not change the spring rate but the pre-load. I have tested many different spacer sizes (pre-load) and it makes a big difference, especially in a rocky section such as a stream bed. For me the stock spacer makes my fork action stiff, while the shorter spacers make the forks more supple, absorbing more, creating a better handling bike. The trade off however is easier bottoming. Coming over a big log with the stock spacer is great. With the shorter ones the forks will bottom, not harshly though, and make the landing more difficult. I have had best average results with a spacer about 3/4 the length of stock. Thanks all for the input. I am interested to see what others where experimenting with and their findings. The 175 is a great light bike and I am trying to reach it's full potential.

Yes I know about the personal preference thing, I actually like the bars a bit further back as far as comfort goes but was surprised at the big difference in handling when moving them forward. I am wondering what kind of average position people prefer. I am running 10 wt fork oil, have tried 15 but the 10 works better for me. Thanks.

So I have been experimenting with different fork spacers, stock vs different shorter ones as I weigh only 150lbs. The stock spacers are great for drops etc. but I find softening the fork action with shorter spacers makes the front deflect less and soak up bumps a lot better. Also been playing a lot with handlebar rotation and found that the further forward I rotate, the lighter the steering becomes to the point that I am fighting the wheel to not turn so easily. I notice that a lot of TY's have the bars quite far forward. What are your findings and opinions on this? I have Falcons on the back with the top mounts dropped forward 4 inches. The forks are set at 20mm protrusion. Thanks

Hey gang is anyone running the newest "dual stage" power reeds from Boyesen #6TR133 in TY175?

I went with the fast action and it's great! Very similar to stock.

Thanks guys. So Bestrcpilot you are running your forks level with the top of the tree? I am at 18mm drop with as mentioned the shocks moved forward but with the stock shocks.

I am putting Falcons on my 175. I have the top mounts moved forward 100mm and I was going to go for the standard length Falcons but now am thinking about longer. Any opinions?

Hey thanks everyone for your opinions.

I am about to replace my throttle with a Domino. What does everyone prefer, the slow or fast action?
