i secured and payed for a swing arm for my ty - joy
however i was giving my sons` midi moto a wee service and found the front sprocket does not turn even with me on it and revving the a*** out of it.
i could get it to free off evey now and again and when it was free it seemed fine but in my trying i have now popped the tyre and inner tube - the tyre must be about 2mm thick
i am prepared for dogs abuse about buying a chinese import
i also dont know why it will only run with the choke out/on.
the build quality and parts are pretty cheap but it does the wee fella fine when its going. we just go up and down the forestry tracks and he loves it.
hes still too wee to go on my ty175 and i thought that this would at least get him a feel for dirt bikes and it was within my budget. however budget seems to be the operative word!
i have recently found a quarry just 1 mile from my house and have made my missus a trials widow( once or twice i thought i actually came a little too close to making her an actual widow but i never told her)
i have just put a 52 tooth sprocket on the back and wow what a different machine.
Now for the "oh no" bit. I was climbing up one of the scree slopes when i thought my chain had come off and we had a wee slide down the bank. At the bottom i realised that the chain had come off - because i had snapped my swing arm.
My question to the group is where the hell am i going to get a new swing arm for a ty175?
And can you weld swing arms to any effect?
i`ve got to get it fixed so i can get back out, i`m already feeling stressed and need to get back out to master the quarry.
