Yeah I use Motorex and mix it at 50:1 in my Mono.

I haven't looked at my TY shock so not sure if it will work. But know on other bikes I use a spring compressor like this to disassemble the rear shock... http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/product_catalog/Product.jsp?productId=p282533

I tried to upload some pictures can't seem to work it out. If someone can advise how to do this ( without using image shack or similar) I will try again I just want to upload. Otherwise just PM me your email address and I'll send them via email. Cheers Scott

Yep thats exactly what I did. I got a peice of flat bar put v slots in it with an angle grinder then welded it to the front of the brake lever. Then bent it around and welded it to the back of the lever. Probably moved it out about 3/4's of an inch no problems using it now. Let me know if you want to see a picture of the lever.

Hi guys, Thanks for the replies it appears that the squish is where I need to start. I will have a go at measuring squish over the weekend and get back to you guys.

Hi Guys, I was wondering if anyone has any answers for stopping the pinging or minimising it on my TY250. The motor is fresh and unmodified but it pings it head off. I beleive the original pistons had dishes in the crown ( I could be wrong) but my piston is flat. I'm using 95 octane fuel mixed at 50:1. I have tried raising the needle which improved it a little but its still doing it. I know some peoples answer will be to run it on Avgas but this is really not an option I want to do, as it is road registered and I fill it up at the servo sometimes. I have heard that removing the head gasket to reduce the amount of squish greatly reduces the pinging has anyone who has done this, able to back this theory up? Or any other ideas would be greatly appreciated Thanks
