That is not a TY 80 the bike Mick is on in that Viedeo is the Cantilever OW 10. Chrs:Mike

When i was riding the german championship 84-88 there was a guy from Clogne who had a TY 250 Mono with one off Eddy Lejuenes 360 Honda engines fitted,he called that bike Motofant.He still ownes the bike,but is not anymore in trials or motorbikes. Chrs:Mike

The first Model in 1974(Model 434)in Yellow/White came with a steel tank,all others till the production ends came with alloy tanks. Chrs:Mike

Normal 80 or 90 gerabox oil from any brand. Chrs:Mike

I think it is European Comunity law and that mean's between 16-18 he can ride a 125.Best think is ask your guy's from your federation.In our country the 16-18 are only allowed tho ride up to 125 in the german championship.In local or clubtrial they can ride what they want. Chrs:Mike

Very easy. Drain the gearbox oil remove the kickstarter from the shaft Remove all bolts from the Clutchcase Remove the srews from the clutchbottomplate change the plates. Then reverse order together Put a new gasket between crankase and clutchcover. Chrs:Mike

Hi Ron also a warm welcome from me.As Charlie i have that Article from the "Off Road Review"yellow book from a couple of years ago. Chrs:Mike

Ty 125,TY 175,TY 250,YZ 125 and XJ 550,XJ 650 are all the same plates. Chrs:Mike

I had the problem with one of my TY's and it was a aftermarkt petkok.Fuel was coming but under power,uphill etc.it lost the power.I went mad,i changed everything and then back.and then i changed to a originla Yam petkok and it was okay. Chrs:Mike

Charlie you have a PM. Chrs:Mike

Sorry mate,but that is a Suzuki engine.Have a look on the enigine sidepanel. Chrs:Mike

The engine in the Pathfinder is a 175 Puch engine based on the ISDT and Motocrossengine.Best place to look is austria(ebay and jumbles)Or get in contact with Hartwig Kamerad from the 1st European Trialsmuseum in Ohlsdorf Austria.Hartwig got one of these bikes.We brought it in 1999 in bits from the IOM. Here you can find the link to Hartwigs Musem site and his contactdetails.The guy who restored his Puch engine is a former employe of the Puch racing team,so he knows everything about the engine. http://www.webermichl.at/museum/ Chrs:Mike

@TY 250 NL(Arie), we went last weekend to the Plonkers Trial(Eurocup)in Arnhem and there was also one of your countryman competing on a stornello(4speed)i think he rode a Enfield before.There was also a guy on a SWM framed Kawasaki.Nice Bike.I have a few friends in Italy they ride Stornellos.They have ridden the Manx 2 Day Classic and the Jersey 2 Day with these bikes.Very Competitiv.We also have a few here in Germany riding these little Guzzis. By the way are you coming to Baarlo on the 17th of October? Chrs:Mike

Good Job done on that bike.I did the same with my TY 175 and put the Clutchcover of a YZ 125 on,also the alloy petroltank of a TY 250. Have a look: http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/index....showtopic=28719 Chrs:Mike
