I just picked up an 86 TY 350. I haven't been able to locate an owner's or service manual for it yet. Does anybody have handy the capacities of the Tranny and forks. I always like to change out fluid's when I pick up a bike. I've been refered to B&J Racing for parts, any other good sources? Would the 85 and 86 service manual be about the same, I found a reprint of the 85 TY350 service manual available at Yamaha dog.

Thanks in advance

Mike

Hi

I may be wrong but I think 95% of the bike is the same as the TY250. Only really jets in the carb, piston, cylinder head and a few frame mods separate the bikes.

If you cannot find a TY350 manual a 250 one from a similar year will be nearly as good.

A few manuals come up on eBay. Or you may be lucky and get a service CD from the internet with all the manuals including the TY350.

Engine oil: Manual says 800ml but yamaha importer recommended 750ml

Fork oil: 300cm3 (10.6 imperial fluid oz) each - 10w 30 motor oil (normal fork oil feels rubbish so use engine oil)

These measurements are from a 1989 TY250 but they should not differ from your bike.

Hope this helps

hi scott, does the trick with the engine oil work on the ty175 as i am in the process of re-building my forks.

cheers paul.

where are you located?

Bruce anderson site has most of the CJ modification's listed.

The easy, std stuff is flywheel trim, clutch extender, fork springs

I also added bar risers, disc front brake and need to lower the pegs.

Lots of ebay stuff available in the US

I can send you a file of notes.

Hey Paul

From my experience it makes them harder and feels more progressive. It says use engine oil in the manual but I still tried proper fork oil and found it too soft.

Hope this helps.
