I think that the bracket that you have fitted the brake cable to is actually for the speedo to be mounted to and the cable should be fitted to the mudgaurd stay bracket, hope this helps you.

Does anyone know if it is possible to use an electronic ignition from an RD80 or similar on a TY. If the flywheel fits the crank what all would need to be put on the bike to make it work, i.e. the CDI unit. I would want to run it without a battery so is there any way this would be feasable, I just thought that it would be a bit more reliable than points. Thanks for any advice you may be able to give me.

Hi there, I have a black engine Beamish and I fitted a bendy-end lever from a RM . I'm quite sure that the diameter and splines will be the same on both models and also several other models such as the TS etc. I hope that this will be of help to you.

If you go onto ebay there are some on there.

I am currently rebuilding a TY 80 and was wondering if anybody can help me with a few queries. First of all can you tell me if the kickstart shaft from a DT, RD or TY 50 would be compatible with it. Next I would like to know what jetting to use as I am going to remove the oil pump to run it on premix as the pump is leaking and I don't know whether it will be reliable enough, and lastly what is the correct amount of oil to put in the forks as I will be changing the seals. I look forward to your replies thanks. No doubt there will be more questions by the tme I have finished.
