Well av been a yam Dt fan since 1976, but always hankered after a Ts,250, after seeing and hearing newmans at Squires , i had to have one,,,

looks spot on John.... that rear muddy looks abit wierd but nice nick that...

Heck John, It's not a project!

Looks great, tell us more

Yeh the fenders are wrong, the rims are painted, kicker is painted, as the headlight shrouds, & no turn signals, black bars, the crank seals are goosed, [ idle rises when warm, and slow drop in revs,]

The good thing is , is a 3 owner Uk bike,[1974] tool kit , manual , 12,750mls, lights work, she pulls strong, sounds good,

just a good base for resto. TS250L,

The fenders are a mine feild, theres Chome [ hens teeth] , thers two different style of plastic,

Ahh so it is a project then

What supports the weight of the rear light assy John, is there a steel under guard or something like the DT has?

I can hear numan swearing from here. Pretty good place to start from for a resto......

yeh,, my N.H.S mystro will be my saving grase, now wheres my medication ,,,, did i realy buy a Suzuki

John its Wor Mick off the 2 stroke forum i thought the muddy looked abit erect lol

Welcome to the club Blackhat. Same running symptoms but still goes very well. easy resto mate. well done it looks fab.

The chrome fenders come up a lot in the US. The front fender and stays seperate I think but quite a few are still around. Parts for these are plentyful, Exhaust are common, I think that they make complete pattern seats for them and even NOS gas tanks come up frequently. There is a nice lime'ish green one that always takes my fancy!!

Yes (said through gritted teeth). These TS models (all before the ER) are, to me, some of the prettiest bikes ever made.

No worries. Already sent some info bits. The bottom end is about the same. The rest is different.

Nice one mate,,,,, have fun doing it up,,,,, looks in good shape allready.

2 strokes and he's finished 4 strokers last longer

There is a TS185, the same shape as my 250 on evilbay at the moment John if you fancy it. LINKY

Wow dirty" if all that rings true, that is a museum piece, if you finnish yours newman , it will be worth abob too,

Av got all my engine parts for the TS, except piston ,,, not shure wheather to go woosner , or makita , .50 ...

Very over priced but it made me laugh. Can you get a woosner piston for the early model?
