Ty Mono Rebuild

Recommended Posts

Hi, I am currently rebuilding a TYMono that has been paired to a Rushton Chair. Its a full strip down, powder coat, replace all bearings etc. It has been converted to a twin shock on the back end which I prefer for the chair use.

A few loose ends I am hoping to box out whilst the frame is off being coated:

1) Does anyone know any UK retailers who do front fork springs. TY Trials, SM and InMotion don't seem to list them and the Magicals website said it was going to be back up on 1 Sept but is still down

2) Has anyone replaced the expensive/moulded rear mudguard with a stock replacement available from the sites above. I am pairing the bike with a shedworks tank and seat cover so am happy to mod as required

3) As part of the chair mods I need to move the exhaust back about 6 - 9 inches.I am going to replace the end pipe with either a SM or a WES so would appreciate peoples opinions.

thanks all

Rob

Nigel Birkett's fabricator made another batch of silencers - I think they have still got some. They are well worth considering. They perform well and also tuck out of the way better than some.

The Magicals fork springs were a great upgrade for my bike ( it is a solo though). A couple of years later I'm still sometimes surprised what a difference they have made. Craig Mawlam was importing them - I assume he still is. Perhaps you could contact him through his Majesty website?

Good luck - great bikes these Yams!

Cheers both,

have emailed Craig so thanks for that lead.

Had a look on TY Trials website and noticed they have a "Shirty" tailpipe. I know this will be different to the Nigel Birkett one but was wondering on any experiences of that one?

As I said, the bike is going to mainly be for the outfit so I want quite a soft power delivery. Reading the WES Smooth write up I wonder if this could be the one to go for?

I was advised that lengthening the exit from the expansion chamber to the tailpipe (as I want to move it back 6-9 inches) does make the engine a little more peaky but I assume its going to be a bit of trial and error.

Still looking for knowledge on the rear mudguard if anyone has any?
