Hi I've had my ty 250r mono for a while now and has Been a very capable machine for my needs . The only problem I have is the mono shock spring unit is to soft and it bottoms out and the chain grinds . It's on the max setting for rebound   . I'm 17 st so might be the fact I'm riding it or may need a replacement?  At 360 quid for a new one any ideas welcome cheers stu

No not blown but its just not up to having me on its back. .At least I know now they were built for lighter riders than me   . Got me old bultaco that's keen to get out and play so not the end of the world till I get a replacement for it ?

So back to the spacer on the spring. I will probably do the same on an '84  I recently aquired

Don't think this will work, doesn't change the spring rate, but will become coil bound.

The mod we used to do years ago and what I've done to my present Ty is to cut the y shaped bracket that bolts the linkage to the swing arm.

You cut the y bit off a weld in a spacer a few mm thick job sorted.

Also Jonathan Wren motorcycle's services the rear shock..
