woody Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) 1) Yes, on CD, you should be able to find it online, ebay or JK Hirst or Trail and Trials UK 2) No, completely different engine/bike 3) Look the same but different internals, different tune, gears, reed although maybe share the same conrod assembly and piston. 4) Quite a few, depends which you mean 5) JK Hirst, Trail and Trials UK, In Motion, used parts from ebay.

johnny88 Posted December 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 did they not do a Haynes ty 250 manual?? i cant find one anywhere or a manual of another brand either. stuck!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstormv Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Have you tried the Haynes site? Don't know about the 250's for sure but fairly sure I've seen one. I know they did one which covered the 50, 80, 125 & 175cc twin shocks as I have a copy. I'm sure if you search you'll find a workshop manual you can download somewhere on the web. Or at least the exploded diagrams. It took a while but managed to locate one for the 350 mono which sufficed for my needs with the 250 mono I restored last year. Hope this helps.
