It may have but the lap record will likely by a lot lower when the factory boys have been there, the tyres are different this year as well & this may be some of the reason My wife is thinking about us going to Phillip Island again this year but I'm not sure how keen I am now that the 125s have been replaced with the 250 four strokes

What a joke the CRT bikes are going to be, quickest is Edwards a full 3.2 seconds per lap slower than Stoner & thats after they managed to pick up 1.5 seconds through a fairly major change If Carmen gets his way this will be the future of motogp & hopefully the manufacturers then set up a rival series running real race bikes again

You don't own a Beta so why cut the wiring, it's pretty easy to make your own kit-the photos should be enough to go off

Sounds to be how I remember, use all the new parts to be safe. When you open the clips you need to twist it to remove it

The kit for ditching the switchgear is very simple & easy to fit. Have a look in the pinned manuals at the top & you'll find the instructions to do it

If the switch is in the radiator it screws in, if it's in a housing midway along the the hoses then to remove it you need to open up the metal clip piece then pull out the switch. Replacing it is as simple as pushing back into the rubber sleeve & closing the clip back up. Did the switch come with a new sleeve & clip or do you need to reuse the original?

Not unheard of, my 290 has this issue every now & then

Pretty sure it's a straight swap

Compare part numbers on www.csmnl.com to get an idea, would think that quite a few parts would interchange between dt's & ty's

Strip the carb & clean the jets, sounds like your pilot jet is blocked It runs with the choke on because it's a seperate circuit to the other jets

If you mean can the early wheel with bushes be modified to take normal bearings then the answer is yes, you need a machinist with a decent size mill to do it without needing to disassemble the wheel

Club's first aid kit Stewards warrant card Replacement stator for my sherco that wasn't the problem but insures ot won't be needed

Do you mean the last 1 where his feet come off the pegs & he nose dives down onto the front wheel/fork rather than the ground?

The article states better lifespan than a aluminium piston, theres the reason why it got dropped, not enough high priced replacements needed for the manufacturers tastes

You've picked it correctly, the thermoswitch is sticking which mine does every so often. I wouldn't worry too much as the only thing that will happen is the bike takes longer to warm up

I doubt carrying it on a rack will have any effect, I carried mine that way from new up until I bought a new car without a towbar & haven't had any problems

So you're saying when they actually were pre65 bikes then

You need to remember that their gallon is smaller-3.8lt to 4.5lt, probably about the same price in comparison though

See your local kart shop, there is a product the guys use to soften up old tyres that is referred to as tyre dope over here

The manual I have for mine was done by cycleserv, I got it from a company called computer outpost in Australia, think they may sell them on ebay still http://www.ebay.com/itm/YAMAHA-Workshop-Manual-TY250-Trials-1974-1975-1976-1977-and-1978-SERVICE-Repair-/380393159894?hash=item589132fcd6&item=380393159894&pt=Motors_Manuals_Literature&vxp=mtr This is the manual I have from a different seller here in NZ & should be what you're looking for

I've seen conventional plastic levers before but never anything like them

Hmm might have to try that, it's the start of summer here now & that could be a way to prove it's not the temp but the fuel change that lead to the tank returning to original size

Sounds like what my 01 did years ago, the nut holding the hub had loosened off & was forcing the pressure plate outwards. Take the clutch apart & check to see that the nut sits below the end of the gearbox shaft

Because they have to try & save the class somehow now that the price of running 4 strokes has proven to be too high for most teams. Don't think it'll work though

Not an official entry from BMW or Aprilia, they're claiming rule bikes which are basically superbikes with aftermarket frames & lap times around 3-5seconds a lap slower going on the tests earlier in the year
