It's not a con. I did a course at Michelin years ago when I worked in the trade. It is to do with the structure(or was then) as the tyre is made up of lapped rubber and there is one way to use it when you are not working against the laps if you know what I mean. Only a real issue on road bikes where the tyre gets hotter, and remember the big bikes are capable of nearly 200 mph. Only obvious reason to turn is on off road bikes to use the edge both ways. Some times you see HGV tyres that have failed on the side of the motorway and you can see how they are made up.

The tank went for 395.99 I think. 495 euros for a new bare metal one from France which is about

Were there a couple of 175's in the Scottish last year cutting it with the rest of them I think. No "bling" in sight.

Nigel Birkett is doing a front brake plate assembly to use in a mono wheel with the brake arm situated on the outside of the plate. He is sorting the brake arm at present as the original one he was using the stock has dried up. He is on the case though and will sort it asap. Woody. Do you know if it is possible to use a TY mono electronic ignition set up on a Majesty, if so how much work involved etc? I bought a mono in bits for the forks so if I can use other parts that would be a bonus. Cheers.

Oops my mistake Woody. And Iwas only looking at them at Malvern on Saturday. Try www.yamaha-majesty.com

Just taken a deposit on my Seeley. I was not using it so it had to go, no good looking at it wondering whether to use it or not. Used the bay as a shop window. Second caller sent a deposit. Make way for the Majesty 250.

No I think your are referring to the Godden later frame. The early bike still has the bottom tubes and sump guard. All the work in raising the engine did not affect the bottom tubes. You can just make out on the pic the cut out for the spark plug. Got one of these myself but I had to pay a lot more than Zarcoff paid.

Yes noticed the French there, No doubt looking to bag some Majestys or TY's . Don't give in to em. The scene is certainly on the up. Global warming? Credit crunch etc etc nah not in this game and certainly not in Malvern yesterday Get it spent ya can't take it with you. Decided to keep my TY250 r only need to drop the pegs and find some 6" Renthals and were away>

Hey Pitley you should take that posh new camera to Tremorithic next time you are there, get some pics for the folks on here, maybe of you riding it on the Majesty.

Coffin Majesty tanks at Malvern today were being sold for 200 notes and I saw a couple snapped up at that price. (Fibreglass)

Tell you what I'll give you twice the engine size for it. Nice find especially at that money.

My Majesty I am doing has a standard Yamaha tank. But could be for the same reason as Woody says. I am also interested in who told you about the frame number. My bike is a 78 S plate with mainly blue on the tank stripes. Also has a Mick Andrews sticker above the fuel filler cap, a bit worn now though. I will change for the coffin tank though as I think it makes the bike. (IMO) Cheers.

Which shocks are folks here using on Majesty 250s ? I have converted to TY mono forks and am looking for some advice on shocks. Bearing in mind I will be riding the clubman route and never expect to be bringing any trophies home. Betors, NJB's or spend a few quid more??? Thanks in advance. PS hearing conflicting stories about Falcon shocks.

Whatever you do DON'T sell to the pikeys. Put some pigs on there first (cleaner) Selling to the pikeys will annoy loads more folk.

Wilf Couldwell ???

I have used the fluids mentioned. Mix a small bottle in a tankfull of derv. Best thing is change the derv and air filters first though as that may cure it. Or do it all then give it a good thrashing. My Tdi Golf struggles at MOT time to pass the smoke test, needs a good caning sometimes to clear the crap out.

Yes the dreaded 270 conversion there are good uns and bad uns. I had a bad un like a moto crosser. If you have a good un they reckon they are great. Sold mine sharpish, got a 250 pre pinky mono to ride now white framed one, going to lower the pegs etc.

Thats the "ROCKSTAR" coming out in you cuz. You'll be rolling the sleebes up next. And this post is ober 12 months old.....

Caddy I'm talking about is the one with Polo front, loads about 1.9 Sdi or Tdi came out 97 up to about 04 I think. I have a Sdi X reg You will get 1 bike in on an angle or 2 if you take the bulk head out I think. Always a few on ebay or autotrader site.

Buy a VW Caddy instead.

As usual some people not reading the original post. I said I thought it was illegal. And now I have the facts I am a wiser person. BUT try telling the hound not to kill the fox and wait for the nice man to fetch the gun. FARCE

Besides the Road racing stuff word is there is a Speedway/ Grasstrack show on there at the same time.

Exact same wording as I had. Wonder how many

Spoke to someone who knows and it is illegal... If one of those ****heads on the horses noticed I was without tax on the van or similar they would be the first to tell plod.

I counted 40 plus horses with riders and I reckon 30 to 40 dogs.
