John,

It doesn't have a "cage", its all part of the filter element.

Last time I bought a TY250 element from www.uniflow.com.au it came with a new cage in the same bag as the foam element.

If you still want to make your own cage, I can measure one up and post details later on today.

Thanks very much for the reply I shall order one from uniflow, i didnt know they came as one because on the tytrials website it says in the future they are having some remanufactured ,once again thanks for the help and quick replys.

Not that I'm cheap or anything

but I took the filter material off the "cage" and bought filter material (a guy sells it on ebay). You can buy enough material for 10 filters for the cost of one complete unit.

1974, 1975 TY250 A-B's have cages in side the air filter element part #434-14458-00-00 and the 1976/77 did not, although both my bikes 1974 and 1976 both have them. You don't mention what year yours is. I would certainly agree you do need one, check E bay or see if they are still available from Yamaha, at least in the US there's still quite a bit still in the warehouse. I always check at the dealer before looking at Ebay etc. Mark.

no need for a cage just use a scorp sy air filter fits into the top no problem and will run a lot cleaner

Pretty sure thats a no go in the later models due to holes in the airbox body

If you look at the unifilter site they only list for 74 models so there has to be a difference in design

My 1977 TY250D air cleaner uses the same type of filter and cage as my TY250A and TY250B. The air box is different though in that it breathes through a slot in the lid on the D model and breathes through two holes in the side of the airbox on the TY250A and TY250B.

When you say the 1976/77 model does not have a cage, what supports the filter foam?

If you look on the Yamaha online parts site you'll see that all ty250 twinshocks use the same air filter and cage, my mistake when looking at the diagrams for the 76, 77 models it wasn't shown but it was listed under the part #'s. Air boxs are different. Like I said my 76 was the same filter and cage as my 74. Sorry for the confusion.

Hello Again Feetupfun could you please measure a filter cage up as im getting a little confused my TY is one of the last ones with the blue striped tank I didnt at first realise that uniflow were an Australian firm and I cant find a dealer in Britain the TY trials do sell the filters but as I mentioned no cage. It would be Much appreciated John.

I will take photos and post dimensions later on today when I clean some air filters.

Are you telling me that Uniflow Australia will not sell to you?
