  1. When I first got mine, the pilot jet would clog every other ride. I drilled it out and it hasnt clogged since.
  2. I ordered a chinese CDI today, I'll let ya'll know if it works.
  3. Ya'll been putting chocolate on your peanutbutter all along, but choose to call it something else.
  4. My wanting to convert the mono ino a twin shock is not so I can have an advantage, but so I could compete in a class within the confines of the rules. FOR FUN!
  5. When shock angle, stearing angle, footpeg placement, forks and wheels replaced and engine modified, The Bike is No Longer True To It's Begining period!
  6. I like to work both sides of the debate.
  7. "Then again, Trials is about the rider's ability rather than the machinery to a large degree, so I can also understand allowing leeway in the types of bikes." It's when the scores are close that it becomes a problem. The guy I bought the TY from hadn't ridden in 20 years because he thought he should have won the Master class on a technicality(the other rider was past the time limit by a few minutes at one trial). So I got a pristine TY Mono thats been sitting in the garage for 20 years, the tires were practically new when it was parked.
  8. Yeah, that was it, a Blaster. I think the exaust he built was lacking in the mid-box area. It just didn't sound quite right. We don't have enough riders to support classes for everything. If we added a class for drum brake, aircooled, monoshock bikes I'd be the only one. In fact, I wouldn't even do it. We do have some very good twinshock riders this year that I couldn't beat even with a cheater bike. We're running two vintage classes, one riding the novice line and the other riding the amature line. I haven't lost all hope on the Reflex yet.
  9. The pilot jet is clogged.
  10. It was a aircooled single. I could of swore he said Banshee. I know nothing about 4 wheelers.
  11. Hell, a lot of the noncheater bikes have nothing left of the original bike!
  12. We have rules too, but they are not the same as yours. Can you understand that? Bend you knees a little , let the bike move under you. We ride for fun over here. To tell you the truth, I think that making it a twinshock would be an improvement over the stock single. The linkage on the Mono is not a very good setup. The fork sure could use a little improvement also. I think I titled the thread wrong, it shoud be "Improve the TY Mono by converting it to a twinshock and make people mad in the process".
  13. Well, it's like putting chocolate on peanutbutter. You say it's cheating to put chocolate on your peanutbutter over there. And I say, but over here it's ok to put chocolate on your peanutbutter.
  14. I'm not really a victim, I knew full well what it was when I bought it. I guess I could pull the motor and put it in the Reflex, and use the wheels too while I'm at it.
  15. If I could beat anyone I'd get a kick out of it!
  16. Our rules aren't that strict and it's not considered cheating. The only rules are; twinshock, aircooled, no hydrolics. There is a guy with an '04 315R with twinshocks, home made drum brakes(he's a machinist), and an engine out of a Banshee 4 wheeler.
  17. I have a nice little Reflex, but I don't know when I'll get it running. The TY is a good bike and the brakes work really well, it sure would make a nice twinshock.
  18. I know some people frown upon it, but I'd like to convert my TY350 Mono to a twin shock. Has anyone done it and can pass their wisdom on to me?
  19. Hell, I've never worried about popping on the front. Haven't had any slippage either.
  20. I just picked up a '86 that is in almost like new condition. Some mods were done at K&N in Tulsa. The head was worked on and porting, boysen reeds, something done to the flywheel, and something done to the rear linkage. I'm scared to ride it! It's been in a garage for 20 years. He put fresh gas in it periodicly ran the motor a little, the drained the left over gas out. And kept it clean. The clutch action is almost as good as a modern bike! Damn I wish it had 2 shocks on the back!!!
