Can anyone tell me if a TY175 is the same engine/gearbox as a TY125 with a larger bore and piston, and is the con-rod the same? Thanks. Eiger. :madsanta:

We have been using a 2002 model 200 Pro for 18 months and within 3 months of it arriving the gearbox jammed but was quickly repaired under warranty by Gas Gas UK, apparently it was fault which was remedied on the later 02 bikes and onwards. Yes the clutch rattles and has done since day one but works perfectly well. The bike has been superb and we have had no other problems. The only criticism I have is that the air filter needs more attention than other bikes I have owned. You need to tape around the rear mudguard and make sure you clean it out regularly. We also possess an 03 250 Pro and an 03 280 Pro both bikes have been faultless. The spares (and advice) back-up from Gas Gas UK is first class. Buy one, you won't regret it. Eiger.

Thanks for the advice, just one more question! I believe the early Majesty's used the original Yam frame which was chopped to allow an integral bash plate. Then along came the Godden frame of which their were 2 versions, Mark 1 and Mark 2. Anyone know how to tell them apart? In the meantime I'll follow the tips posted, thanks again. Eiger.

I am in the process of preparing a Yam Ty 175 Yam and turning it into a 200 Majesty ( am I right to say Mick Andrews John Edward Shirt T.Y. is how Majesty came about?) So if any of you decent people out there have any info on frames, turning 175cc into 200cc, shockers, the history of the marque, how to squeeze that extra power from the engine, length and placement of shockers subject to rider weight, forks, exhausting matters, and any info on this bike, however insignificant you may feel it is, please post it here, your reward will be several pints of the finest beer known to man. BODDINGTONS: the cream of Manchester as well you know! Thankyou. Eiger.
