  1. What would be the correct tyre pressures on my TY250 for general practise and messing about? If they are too low will it split the side walls of the tyres? Have tried to get a workshop manual for my bike but am struggling, tried loads of places but am surprised how hard it has been to track one down for such a popular bike, any ideas? Can anyone reccommend the best 2 stroke oil to keep things running sweetly and also which gearbox oil? Should the joint where silencer meets exhaust be sealed with exhaust paste, currently mine is just pushed on and is a fairly loose fit. I seem to be asking a lot of questions on this forum but am new to trials and keen to learn about my bike and trials in general. Had a couple of dirt bikes before but not for a few years. Thanks for the help, their is some great information on this forum for people starting out.
  2. The TY250 pinky I have just bought has a few problems I need to sort out and it's my first trials bike so any help from you people in the know would be appreciated. The silencer has a hole in it caused by the back tyre rubbing against it, is this a common problem? I have bent the bracket on the silencer out so it clears but it still seems to be very close. Would a welded plate over the hole do the job or is a new silencer a better option? The rear wheel also looks buckled but looks to be the tyre more than the wheel itself as the rim seems ok when the wheel is spinning but the tyre seems to have a lump in it at one point, any ideas? Perhaps it is an optical illusion! If it is the wheel can it be repaired or would it need replacing? Don't know how much of a problem a buckled rear wheel is? Perhaps I am worrying about nothing but am trying to get stuff sorted now and then I can get out on it when the weather inproves. Thanks
  3. Thanks for that, I havn't seen any green frames on the bikes I've seen advertised, they must have just decided to match it to the seat colour!
  4. Hi, I recently bought a 1990 TY250 pinky which I am doing up before the summer comes and I can get out on it. The frame is quite a bright green colour, does anyone know the colour name, reference and / or where to buy it? Not sure if it would be an original colour but it does appear to be? Got some great tips from the forum and only been a member 2 days, thanks

    Starting Out

    Thanks for the info, my bike is mechanically sound but needs new mudguard & silencer. The back wheel is a bit buckled but don't think that should cause me too much trouble just for practising ( i hope!) Cheers

    Starting Out

    Hi all, just got myself a 1990 TY250 pinky and wondered if anyone could advise on best places for spares and a workshop manual here in the UK. I am not sure which model it is but am sure one of you people will know. Have had a couple of dirt bikes before but never a trials. Cheers
