OOOOH get her! I'd bet you'd love a good long look at my smart a*** wouldn't you "bellend". And when you say "shed", I assume being in Oz you mean house! P.S. - Don't get involved, mate.

What is a MONYESA?

W.T.F. does that mean? he wasn't having a go!

Hey andy-w13, You can't like to look at your bike that much other wise you wouldn't be trying to sell it! Or are you just using Trials Central for free advertising?

WHY?

Only if your name is Gordon or Alistair and you originate North of Hadrian's Wall Pal!

It doesn't matter what they call themselves, they are economical with the truth!

But be wary of this seller as they describe everything they are selling as being in VERY GOOD CONDITION even when in reality it ain't!

I have a Scottoiler on my very green sports bike, it is extremely good. You on the other hand are a misinformed idiot!

They are magnesium. I wouldn't waste my time trying to repair these cases because they aren't pure enough to give a satisfactory weld. Look on Ebay. Replacements are always coming up for sale, and luckily for you the flywheel cover is the cheaper of the two!

Have a look at this! http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/index....mp;hl=footrests

I have a TY250 which has the forks sticking out 20mm above the top of the yokes. With 1" longer shocks on the rear it is much nicer to ride, and steers beautifully.

There is one for sale on Ebay from the USA right now! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yamaha-TY25...emZ350110192707

I've just spent an hour and a half fighting with two tubed tyres putting them back on my Yam rims having turned them both round. I've had to resort to using three security bolts in the rear the stop the tyre from spinning on the rim, which if you think about it makes it 50% more bloody awkward. I will definitely invest in tubeless rims just to save on all that p*ssin' about.

If someone was so desperate to own a Majesty they'd be prepared to pay over 4K for one, then why has Matt McDonald of The Twin Shock Shop (www.thetwinshockshop.co.uk) down in Devon still got two good ones still unsold? I bet they ain't four grand plus!

I run 100:1 in my TY250 T/S. This with an airbox mod has created a need to raise the needle to make it run richer than the standard setting. It now runs absolutely lovely and a lot sweeter than the 270 Beta Rev 3 I had new in 2001. (Which I also ran on 100:1) You don't need to run any 2 stroke on 50:1 these days, all you'll end up doing is choking everyone you ride with and prematurely clogging up the exhaust which will cause you performance problems in the future.

The piston will have been made to be tapered and so the only correct position to measure the O/D for signs of wear is 10mm up from the bottom of the piston skirt, opposite the gudgeon pin. Putting a feeler gauge between the piston skirt and the bore, (presumably at the top) is nonsense! You need to measure the piston and clock the bore as well as measuring the gap between the rings when they are slipped into the bore while off the piston to fully determine which parts are worn and need replacing. I still have the standard bore on my TY250. I recently fitted a new piston and rings as they were worn, but did not need to re-bore the barrel as that was still within manufactures tolerences. All Yam's rattle, it's part of their charm. Don't always automatically assume a re-bore is the answer, it may be more simple than that!

Now that is nice!

I couldn't make my mind up initially which thread to reply to as this one and the ACU Classic Championship thread are on similar lines in respect of Majestyman340's views on the events and the bikes that are being ridden. At the risk of offending a large and loyal band of Majesty Yam fans: Majestyman340's view of Pre65 machines would be that they are modified beyond what he considers to be sporting, relevant to their original design, to a point where he now referred to them as "Brit Specials" much to the disgust of many. He has also stated that rules should be put in place to stop the same thing happening to the Twinshock class. This is surely a bit hypocritical as he owns (so he says) on of the first "SPECIALS" that took a mediocre bike (getting a bit long in the tooth) and modified it to the point where became a World round winner in the hands of Mick Andrews and a bike that is so popular and sort after today that they are fetching very good money for machines that are far from pristine. (One just sold on Ebay for well over two grand). After all Majestyman340, we are talking about a bike that no longer has the same frame or suspension geometry, engine position or in some cases (such as yours) the standard engine capacity. Majesty's have been around so long now that they are a respected part of "Trials Folklore" and worthy of a second glance wherever you ride in most instances, (as I am a committed Yamaha Twinshock fan) but they were a "SPECIAL" in their day and by your thinking they still should be classed as SPECIAL in their own category". (Even a "BRIT SPECIAL", as it was the Brits who did the modifying). I ride a "standard TY250" but it ain't standard by any means with the modifications that I have done to it to make it better (in my mind anyway) but it isn't very special either. If I have offended any Majesty owners out there, then that was not my intention and for that I apologize, but Majestyman340 needs to understand that "SPECIAL" can mean anything that is modified from it's original design.

I stand to correct myself. Thinking about it, the front caliper was held on to some sort of bracket/wheel spacer affair. It was the Shirty version that was clamped around the fork leg. It still didn't work well though!

I had the same message. We must be special. I just deleated mine.

I had a TY Mono nearly twenty years ago that I converted both ends to disc brake, using kits developed by Talon Eng. The front had a bolt round the fork leg clamp and floated using only one piston. The rear had a similar design of floating caliper. Very nicely made but didn't work that well, either end. The rear was a right tw*t to set up and keep working. Still it did mean that I didn't have to take the wheels out after every trial to clean the drums anymore. Some conciliation, I suppose!
