I have a couple broken fins on a Mono cylinder, I'd like to repair them but I'm not sure if the parent material is aluminum or magnesium. I know the side covers are magnesium but not sure about the finned cylinder. If anyone knows which it is, please let me know.
I once used the front wheel, master cylinder and caliper from an `84 YZ125. It all bolted straight on, except a machinist made a bracket from the caliper to the fork that was just held on with hose clamps. Covered it up with a disc cover. Actually was a great working brake. Since you have a few TY`s, this might be an easier fix.
Hmmmm, that might be the way to go! This should probably be a custom build rather than a restoration....
Anyone have p/n's for the caged rollers and steel bushings for the swing arm? Also need p/n's for the shock assembly bushings.
Here I go again, trying to talk myself into or out of another motorcycle restoration. I've already started on the engine and I had been debating on keeping it as a "spare" but I have the frame it came out of.... So toying with the idea of jumping in on another one. Any words of encouragement or discouragement would be appreciated.
I am missing the following parts:
Fuel tank, seat, front wheel, front axel, and the brake light switch.
The `86 was better, mainly if the rear shock is in good shape. Somebody sure tried to make it look like an `88.
Yeah, not sure what they were thinking. I got it from a friend that bought it out of California a few years ago. It's an excellent running and riding bike.
Yes, that will be done to this engine too. This engine is off my "parts bike" but the more I think about it, the more I am leaning toward making the "parts bike" a complete bike.... Not too much missing, front wheel, tank and seat and it would be complete. Might be kind of weird to have 3 complete TY350's though..... I have yet to pull the flywheel cover on the white framed TY, I'm thinking there have been some engine mods to it, it runs much different than the 84 stock bike I've had for years. Previous owner didn't have much info on it and he maybe rode it 10 minutes in the 3 years that he owned it.
I will rebuild the lower end myself, I have found everything I need, including that crank on eBay ;-) I figured I'd do the stuff I am fully capable of and let Bob do the rest.
TY350, sat open out in the weather for a bit, crank is stuck transmission is free, I have the rest of the parts minus the wrist pin. Bore and piston are perfect. If it's worth rebuilding I'll send it to B&J Racing, just looking for opinions....
I know, it's a crime but I'm not the one who did this!
Ha-ha yes the skis are now as chair in the front of the house next to the front fire pit.

Ha, K2 used to build skis about 3 miles from my house, the son of the original owner lives a few doors down from me. I wish I had a pic of my K2 ski bench on here, I'd post it....
Getting ready to send my head and cylinder to BJ Racing. I have bought many parts from them but never had any machine work done. Also thinking of sending a carb and reed block to them for work. Anyone here had experiences with their porting and head work. They seem to be good honest guys from my parts dealings.
86' Ty350 Resto?!

That didn't last long..... Decided to part out the last 85 and move forward withe the 86 build. It'll be a different bike than my other two.....
Parting this one out...
Frame ready to go to the powder coater..... It will be black.
