  1. Hi

    Can anybody advise me where to buy a Ty80 exhaust silencer please,I’ve just got hold of a 1975 Ty 80 and the silencer is missing off the end of the box and I’m struggling to find one.Somebody has previously jammed a length of copper pipe into the exhaust and it needs a proper one sorting.Im in Uk.

  2. Just got the lad a Beta 80 and set about changing the gear oil as it looked a bit dirty and I wanted a piece of mind.The guy I bought it off gave me some YAMALUBE OIL that he said he has used in the gearbox for last 2 years or so.I drained the oil and put in the 300 ml as per manual but upon starting and testing the bike in gear it appears that the bike is still driving a little even when the clutch is fully pulled in.

    Could it be thatr the oil is incorrect or is rthis a common fault and is there an adjustment that can be made or will other oil solve the problem? thanks in anticipation.

  3. ive been on the phone to yamaha and gave them my matching frame and engine numbers 451-1001** and they tell me that the bike is a 1975 ty80b.Thats all well and good but the bike has 5 gears in a one down four up config.Now yamaha tell me it should be a standard 4 speed as the 5 speed didnt come out until late 70's.Could the gears have been modified or could there be a problem with the gears thats making it look like a five speed.Its definitely 1 down and 4 up with neutral a half click up from bottom.Not sure if ive bought a rogue bike but frame and engine number all match and look genuine.All seems a bit strange and would welcome any advice.thanks.

  4. Hi.i have just bought an old ty 80 but have discovered it has 5 gears.the frame number is 451-1101##.does anyone have any idea as to age of bike as the frame number points to a 1970 s bike but I didn't think they were 5 speed at that age.

    The engine number is the same number so I know it's not been replaced.any help on its true age/identity would be appreciated.
