In 1064, England was at peace under King Edward the Confessor, but the succession crisis began brewing. The defining event of the year was the controversial journey to Normandy by Earl Harold Godwinson. This trip subsequently provided the foundation for the famous Norman Conquest in 1066. Maybe the mechanic who had the case apart before was a history buff too. 😉

Simple green is NOT safe on anodized aluminum. It is too alkaline. Just Google the question and you’ll see. I once used it on a red anodized cassette on a bike and it faded it considerably.

At least you won’t have to replace that tire…perfect condition. 😉

I forgot about this bike and it’s great to see the progress. The black scheme is awesome!

Include a photo when you’ve got it back together. Best of luck!

SlowDave, keep showing the doctors they’re wrong. I had an accident (electrocuted) when I was a kid that kept me hospitalized for an entire year. The doctors said I wouldn’t be able to run or ride my bike anymore and that I’d be in a wheelchair in my 50s. Well, I did run again and even skied competitively in college. I’m 65 now and still going strong. Doctors don’t know everything. Also, I had a 1974 TY250 myself that I rode in high school after I was released from the hospital. I’m looking for one now myself. I loved that bike.

You can get reproduction seat covers for cheap and all you have to do is replace the foam. https://www.ebay.com/itm/152173175811?_skw=Yamaha+TY250&itmmeta=01KPVB8X7K75DWFQGXEMP05ASF&hash=item236e3a6403:g:m4UAAOSwxWxg~5Mx&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA8DKQclQvzFwZQpmMrsO4LurgsYX0OYtwnOHG1FqA1%2F4kKnkmO1Tf1vVMAj8S58n4mC%2BLYnlfInRqXIScPwtyzkobh23jam4E7Q9g2reOSh52rFIaNN4L0M9qqSfHPPaW4PSPqfenXRfb2Viv0owk1jo04zzjMlCGznp54xmySvlN4lXY%2BBlFCwrt9aEl1ky0oFIORYTYoP7KkHCURS5NmD%2FvEPsuFzic575YGiyrrX4VpKejiPf4A8dt5HADBGxFVo8pnWJt4rsvnQTq4lAzQPHqi%2FVzqGrbzzJi7qdb7bXYpPBWn%2BbHe%2BztGNRCHkB4sw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABFBMyNSj67Zn

I’m guessing here because I haven’t seen either one in real life but I’d bet the frames are identical which means you could probably take the seat off and put the standard fenders and gas tank on. Call a dealer or Sherco and ask.

McMan, just in case you’re interested I found this Long Ride for you. It’s in Mt. Hood, Oregon but the price is fantastic. I live in Oregon but bought my bike from this site from a dealer in Georgia and had it shipped for $300. They routinely have some very good prices on bikes on the website. I got my 2023 Gasgas TXT 250, brand new, for $4500. I’m sure you want the standard version but I thought you might want to consider this one. Oh, I’m not affiliated with the bike or the shop in anyway so I’m not selling anything. https://motohunt.com/l/11480744/2023-Sherco-125-TY-Long-Ride

Modern Sherco ST 250 trials bikes (equipped with Tech or Paioli forks), the typical fork oil capacity is approximately 250cc to 300cc per leg of SAE 5 or SAE 7.5 weight oil. However, it is highly recommended to set the oil level by height (usually 110mm-130mm from the top, compressed, without springs) rather than just volume for accuracy.

Gsinky, I'm 65 and riding trials and just restarted two years ago. Don’t worry about age. I wish I was as young as you. Just relax and enjoy it. There’s a lot of people older than me that still ride.

Edwin, that is an excellent news site. I’ve put it in my favorites. Awesome!
