Hey guys! So as the title says I am a trials newbie and recently purchased a 1985 TY350 Yamaha trials bike as my first. Anyways, I would like to see if there are any mods to making the ty 350 smoother and maybe a tad bit lighter? I was told this would be a good starter and from a lot of older gentlemen, it is a great bike and it is!
I am practicing the basics (also trying to jump the gun and do fancy stuff) and I have to say it's kind of difficult. Bunnyhopping the ty is kind of a pain but I also think im not using my suspension to the fullest.
Well with that said, im in the states and there isn't many trials clubs where I am located so I practice around the yard and have been watching Ryan Young tutorials. Anyone have any tips themselves of how I should set up a trials bike/modifications? Other thing to is my wrists always cramp up(they do this when I ride mx) and I start loosing control of the clutch. All in all, trials is very challenging but quite fun and I know its gonna take time to get really good.
