My forks have been apart for a couple of months and I am not positive how the front fork is reassembled. Could someone confirm? Right now I have the damper inside the slider and extending through the bottom of the slider. The small spring and aluminum cap are then put onto the damper and the unit is inserted into the outer fork. I tried it with the small spring inside the slider but the slider would dig into the aluminum cap.

Thanks,

hard to do this just with words. If you say which TY250 you have I might be able to post up an exploded parts diagram or a photo showing what you want to know

feetupfun, here are some photos of the forks. I bought these off eBay with the intention of fitting them to my TY175. I'm not sure what year they came from. The online parts diagram from yamaha looks different from this.

TY250 - A model I think - with parts spread out along damper rod to show correct assembly

The circlip/snapring that holds the anti-bottoming socket in the fork tube is not shown

By the way your sliders/bottles/outers/bottoms are definitely A model because the oil drain screws face outwards. On later model TY250 twinshock forks the drain screws face rearwards

Thanks for the photo. It looks like my problem was that I installed the large part of the anti-bottoming socket backwards. It now fits together as it should. Thanks again.
