this is from a ty250 1977 but could be the directions you need.

Well it was a good day at the race track my friend Mike Taylor won his race in the Harley series. Had a great ride up to the track on my 71 cb500/four, some great farm/lake land to look over. Thanks for the heads up on the parts connections guy53 The sprockets chain etc are a mess for sure and will be replaced, which was part of the reason he was selling the bike for had a hardtime sourcing parts at the local Yamaha dealer. Yes the bike came from St Croix Cove, so very close to you mr airman. Does the track still have a trial circuit?

Yes picked it up over on the Fundy side of the province, I'm over in LaHave. Were abouts are you? Going up to watch some roadracing in Shubenacadie this morning. Friends in town, races a Harley in one of the series.

Cleaned up the engine tonight. Gave it a wash in varsol. little bit of detailing work on the fins and should be good. Have a cattle dog, but no sheep/cattle. Intend to wear him out with this bike!

Have both rim/wheels, they both need brakes for sure and bearings perhaps? They have the original tires but are cracked along the rim bead The carb has been gone through and was in great shape for had been drained when stored. The tank was full of old nasty gas but is of aluminum so didn't rust. The petcock rubber was rotted but the rest cleaned up after soaking in carb cleaner for few days The rear shocks are leaking and need replaced was thinking of laying down the shocks to raise the rear? Front springs will be replaced. Yes feel good about being able to find the bike for they are somewhat rare around here. lest don't see them come up on the used market locally very often. It's rural here with 1000's of acres of land out the back door, so looking forward to bouncing around. Thanks for all your comments, will keep you posted on the progress. regards.

Hi thanks for your reply. Have rebuilt an old 71 honda cb500/four, so somewhat know what i'm in for. The motor has had a weld placed along the bottom case near one of the case bolts. From riding with the bash plate off perhaps? The shifter went through the case on the points cover. So will need to tig that up. Just an old bike looking for love and a spare parts catalogue.

Hello purchased a rather snotty looking 77 ty250 last week up in Nova Scotia, Canada. Have started the tear down process and it has been coming apart amazing well. Have the motor and everything but the headstock off the frame as of now. Just the two bolts for the rear fender snapped into the frame. It seems to be all there parts wise, should clean-up well. Wondering on just the usual stuff that should be looked into that has proven to be problematic through the years? Suggestions for parts in Canada? Have found parts sites in Britain and France and in the States. Have removed the autolube for the oil tank sight glass was cracked Have cleaned the carb and flushed the tank which was thick in maple syrup like two stroke oil. It hasn't been run in around 15 years. The brakes went along with the drive sprockets and the gentleman had a hard time sourcing parts, so parked it in a shed. Here's all the loveliness on the day we met. Thanks for your input. Keith
