Come ride with us in MOTA. I am 45 miles north of Toledo here near detroit but we practice about 30 miles north of you in milan michigan a lot. Our closest event to you is just up route 23 in Whitmore lake. We have about 40-60 riders per event. Really relaxed crew. We have others who live in toledo area as well. Pm me if you want and we will share contact info. www.motatrials.com
With a bed extender or just tail gate down it is possible to get two bikes in the maverick. took one to the rents house and got 35mpg to central NY from Michigan and back. Fwd hybrid lariat. Im biased of course and in love! 😍
Posting this here as i know i will want to refer to this again someday in the future. As im modifying my 175 with 350 mono stuff i needed to go up to a 520 chain but my counter shaft sprocket has been a PITA to get right... so here it goes.
Dear future Biff,
Hows it going? Wow yea i can see you haven't missed a meal. Well as you asked the counter shaft 520 sprocket from a 1980-1993 kx125 will work on the Ty175. Stay well bud!
We have one in Michigan and have had a few visit from canada before covid. When i visited mike at tryalshop he had a few around. Good power good beginner bike.
Every three rides and on GasGas its type F atf if it had not been converted to Autotrac transfercase fluid. I find standard ATF to be hard to find in europe but that is usually because of the lack of those transmissions.
Txt editions have a crank case bottom end drain plug for this. Remove the skid plate and the plug is on the bottom of the big end. Wish others did this...
Check out the group from 3d and d4. Growing up in Caz myself you have a ton of people in your neighborhood that are trials enthusiast. Between tryals shop and those two groups you should be all sorted.
When I last rode my ailing TY 250A around the yard I noticed that the clutch does not engage at all until the last 1/4" of the lever throw.(All the way released) Then it sort of grabs. Is that a problem? or is it just out of adjustment?Something worn out?
Well you are going to have to look. Clutch baskets from this era were known to wear grooves in themselves where the plates ride. That can cause the plates to stick and suddenly break free. With this home made bushing idea it really caused a delay / slack feeling transitioning from coast to accel. 3 and a half years later its still working for me.
That is a bad water pump seal. If you didn't change out the water pump shaft that rides on that seal then it would also cause the leak. It is the only place on a pro that water can get from the coolant into the transmission. The shaft can wobble if the brass bushing holding the shaft is enlarged as well.
@feetupfun I am just about to transfer a set of Arkon rims from a TY250L mono over to my Ty175. I want to go with the tubliss 2nd gen system when I do this with a set of Dunlop 803GP tires. My main reason was to use the forks on this one but why not go all out right? I am interested in the grove you are speaking of (pics?). Is this just roughing up the bead area so it sticks? As i read this you are still running a tube with a tubeless tire right? Currently i am running a new IRC tubeless reject on my standard ty175 rim with a tube but gotta love those gold rims so this is going to happen.
