Getting the frame stripped down

Featured Replies

Hi All,

I'm getting going on the restoration of the TY250. I got the frame all stripped down except thw triple clamps and the foot pegs. During the process I came across a small area behind the headstock that has a hinged cover which opens from below. It is held closed by a knurled thumbscrew. A bunch of hazel nuts and looks like flower seeds fell out when I open it. What is it for? I'll tr to post some pictures.

Okay.  Did they come with a set of tools or was this just a "place" to put some?  Thanks for your reply.

Yes they came with the usual set of Yamaha branded tools in a plastic pouch. Japanese Road/Trail bikes also came with a similar basic tool set

Feetupfun, Yes I do remember my SL125 and XL175 having tool sets. I guess the opening seems small. As I think of it, pretty interesting engineering, utilizing every cubic inch of space. Thanks for responding.
