Papa Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 I have wanted a Japanese trials bike for a long time. I've located a 1976 TY250. It might be the one to restore. It's biggest issue is someone has swapped on a larger seat. I'll be looking for the correct seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Posted January 14 Author Report Share Posted January 14 (edited) The Ty250 I found included an extra engine. It looks like the one still on the frame except the head has radial fins. I suppose it's a 250 from another Yamaha 250? It looks like what I see listed on eBay as a DT250 or YZ250. Edited January 14 by Papa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Where did you happen to come across the bike? I'm restoring a 1974 (or 1977, I haven't been able to figure it out yet) Yamaha TY250. I accidentally put a large crack in the crankcase cover and there was already a large crack in it as well, so I was wondering where you found the bike to see if I might find a replacement cover there.

What does the rest of the extra motor look like? The DT250 radial fin head motor looks quite different to TY250 motor in many ways. Shape of engine covers, location of kickstart shaft, length of motor. It's a popular thing to fit the DT250 radial fin head to TY250 twinshock motors.

It's local to me. If I buy it and have parts to spare I will let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
