A good choice for a brand new aircooled mono is the Scorpa/Yamaha Ty 125 wit the 175 Kit.Brand new and good price.Parts no problem. Chrs:Mike

I prefer Renthal 6 inch bars and Domino Leavers on all my Ty 250's and the TY 175 and my Majesty.Clutch cable you can get from John Cane. Chrs:Mike

Boost bottle only works(if you think)on 2 strokes without reed valve.I spoke about that last weekend with a ex yamaha Gp mechanic. Chrs:Mike

Since 1978 in all 2 strokes only Castrol TTS. Chrs:Mike

Just in case,the clutch plates from the XJ(seca)400/550 are the same as in the TY 250 Twinshock. Chrs:Mike

Last month i bought a original from a guy in france and it was steel. Chrs:Mike

We have a dealer over here in germany and he makes alloy 428's rear sprocket,all my Ty#s have now thes procketes,exact replica of the original but in alloy.The front ones with 12 you can get directley from your Yamaha dealer. Chrs:mike

Hi Christian, nice to see you here.Well i like to ride in Mons but again I'am in trouble with the dates.We have the anuall genaral meeting of the german Hercules/Sachs Owners Club on the same weekend.So i have to go there.So we see us in Bilstain,or in Hergenroth at Werner Schaaf's Trial a weekend before.By the way nice website. Chrs:Mike

I rode my "Ratbike"a Yamaha Ty 250 with Number 428.So we had a Clibtrial on Saturday and i was riding that bike,So i rode it alo on Sunday.good thing was,only one bike to clean.i will ride the Matchless next weekend in "Leopoldsh

Hey Bob congratiolations for your win in the Expert Class.I just get 5th and strugeld with the ignition on my bike. Chrs:Mike

Yes it is Rayer. Chrs:Mike

Bob,I'am only going on the sunday because we have a clubtrial on the saturday.I will ride my Yamaha TY 250,because i will not make 2 bikes dirty on the weekend. Chrs:Mike

That sounds very good,as swoosdave said,you must have done a lot of work since last time.Myself had a rubbish day on the 250 TY on the Classictrial in Italy(Campo Canavese)two weeks ago.In the first section of the saturdy i fall into a very deep cold stream an was fully wet.Good thing was that it was bright sunny and hot.Next 4 sections also 5,then i found my confidence back.But too late.For me it was one of these days you better stayed in the bed.On the sunday i had a fine ride and came out 10th of 27.Sat it was 16th of 20th.So you see these things can happen to everybody,even on a good Ty 250 Twinshock. Chrs:Mike

Hi Bob, have a word with Hans van Marvijk from Arnhem,his B40 frames are very good.(Eddy Zels frame is a van Marvijk).I really can recomend the frames,my Matchless oil in Frame is also a van Marvijk and i'am very pleased with it. Chrs:Mike

In our country the 175 was never imported.When you orderd a 175 at Yamaha germany at that time the deliverd you a 125 with all the paperwork and the 175 kit inclusive(Barrel,piston,jets etc). Chrs:Mike

I think Bob's bike is a springer and very simmilar to Mick Andrews bike.We just came back from a trial in Italy and there was a spanish guy riding one of the James replicas.Nice bikes. Chrs:Mike

I'am going too,but only on the sunday.Lee,who has bought the Yam?Is it Rolf? Chrs:Mike

Try John Cane(Trial and Trails U.K.) or Jean Marc Henrion in France from Francr Trials Classic. Chrs:Mike

I hab exactly that problem on one of my 250's.Changed the coil same,changed the condesor and the points no trouble at all.So get her a new condesor and a new pair of points and it will work again. Chrs:Mike

Over here in Germany my mate Burkhard is riding a Velo Mac as a trials bike.If you like to get me in contacct with him sent me please a PM. Chrs:Mike

Thank's learned something new,but the early Scorpa's had Rotax. Chrs:Mike

I'am wearing italian boots since 1978 and you always have to take one size larger.It is not only with the boots also with the normal gear you have to take one size larger over here in nothern europe when you get stuff from south europe.If you buy Gearne or Sidi boots,you make a good chocice. Chrs:Mike

Didn't they use Hiro or Rotax engines? Chrs:Mike

You will get them at Sammy Millers,France Trial Classic and maybe at John Cane. Chrs:Mike

Look on ebay Australia or USA for the manual. Chrs:Mike
