Not if you buy genuine stuff from NON franchised suppliers like TYtrials. Its about 15% more for gaskets and bearings that fit first time and last. ANY RD250/350 TZR/TDR owner will regale you with water issues from waterpump seals and headgaskets that are non genuine and last 2 mins, in many cases doing for the motor if they fail at speed.

Moderator mervin Posted July 30, 2011 Moderator Share Posted July 30, 2011 Oh so true Have you done the TDR fork seals yet Jason, the dust seals are under the clips only gen will fit i am told, fitting pattern head gaskets to a TDR/TZR is a recipe for trouble as well i am told, Merv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just brought a genuine gasket set for the TS. £6 from Thailand, £30 from the UK. Not a bad price I thought as they seem very scarce . £160 for genuine engine seals and bearings (not including the gaskets). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator DirtyDT Posted July 30, 2011 Author Moderator Share Posted July 30, 2011 nearer 300 for a TDR250 The may both be bikes, they both may have 2 wheels, they may both be 250's but not a lot of other similarities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted July 30, 2011 Moderator Share Posted July 30, 2011 That is a blessing and a curse in equal measure from both viewpoints, i think. One definite simbiant, the exhausts rot like old fruit and your never really sure just how long its going to last.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
