Look at the weight savings man! I can see lettering on one hex bolt. Allen heads not tapered. And purely for visuals, replace all those ugly cross heads with button heads or c'sunk allens. Apart from that - lovely.

What?

Yeah, should be a simple job for a machinist. Turn crank down, sleeve, and finish turn or grind to original size.

What's way too high? They stopped making that bike 35 years ago. You are not sourcing common spares for a Japanese road bike made in the last 5 years. You are looking for parts for a 35 y/o European niche bike. You are fortunate that this bike has specialist spares people still in business. Pay up, and support your local (or specialist) m/c business. Congrats on a nice bike by the way.

You mean a higher gear. ie 2nd instead of 1st, or 3rd instead of 2nd.

What gear are you in? If first, try 2nd or 3rd. Those are pitiful wheelies for a ty250. If i'm daft my mono will flip me on my a*** in 2nd or 3rd at a walking pace. Also check your gearing - something is amiss.

+1. I even like the pink! Paul does great work at Shedworks.

What are these strange words you mention?

Good grief! That is one handsome motorcycle.

I thought Hitchcock's did a full range of gearbox internals, wide, close, std? All sorts of sprocket options too. They would be first on my phone call list.

I apologize if i come across as a Grammar Nazi, but ever heard of paragraphs? That made my eyes hurt which then made my head hurt.

What have the Romans ever done for us?

the horror.... the horror (visualizing and quoting Marlon Brando as Col. Kurt in Apocalypse Now).....

Is that a steel Yamaha ty250 mono tank on there?

Nadgery trickery slow stuff.

Yeah, that is neat, and i dunno why it has not been thought of before (inc me...).

Hate electric motors. Love petrol engines.

Dunno without looking in a w/shop manual. Highly recommend you buy one. End float is no problem in a Triumph engine, but there should be no slop felt up or down at all.

Can't see how they are better, no. Not tried them and not heard of them before.

Thanks, yeah they never had the 250 mono officially in the States, and we never got the 350 officially in Europe. By all accounts the 250 was a better motor, and sold a lot more numbers worldwide.

Was in the UK back in April / May on holiday with the family. As well as buying a genuine Yamaha w/shop manual and a crank pullerer-inner w/shop tool, some smooth new Venhill clutch cables, i picked up some universal front mudguards, cut the flap off the rear, drilled some holes and reversed them. Look smarter, shorter and more modern than stock. Also picked up two of Paul Cowley's Shedworks sexy-as-hell tank shelters i had ordered, and two plastic tanks i won on Ebay. Lucky we had 3 suitcases..........

Feked Parts bought SM Products out. Anything formerly Sammy Miller made & sold is now sold by Feked.

The countersunk holes are the seats for the balls. Once assembled with fresh oil, put your thumb over the pump holes and gently pull one plunger at a time (without the alloy slider block in!) - you should feel good suction & resistance. Happy playing.

Bet you're not laughing now.........
