  1. Rich! I don't think so............ I have already got one and mine is better than that one with lots of NOS stuff including a full exhaust, with a NOS barrel and head ready to fit. My wheels are stainless too. And I have a NOS swing arm still wrapped in the original packaging. Bargain as these seem to be the rarest TS250 models. You could have mine for £3500 plus first dibs on the, errrrr, extensive collection of spares that I have.
  2. Barkie, are you back mate?
  3. Hi and welcome to the forum.
  4. Moved from the bar section.
  5. Please don't post workshop questions in the Bar. Topic locked.
  6. Class! And non rust spokes too.
  7. Got to agree with the above comments about weight and height. Cruiser style bikes, cc for cc, are normally slower than touring or sports bikes. A good service may help and you could look at the gearing (sprocket sizes) to make the top end higher. This will affect the acceleration though.
  8. Hi and welcome to the forum.

    I've never heard of it but there is one on Fleabay for sale - if you like that kind of thing. Be warned, it is ugly (well I think it is). LINKY

    Not sure Kev but my understanding is: Private lands - nothing traffic related can happen but trespass, and criminal stuff can. This includes stolen vehicles etc.Not sure if they can seize vehicles. Public land - Same as the road so all traffic related laws apply. All criminal stuff still applies. Depends what you someone was doing!!
  12. I would keep it. A classic that you can ride in moden traffic Low miles - if you have the history to prove it Original condition All bonuses. They may not be a very high value now but you can get to enjoy riding it whilst the value rises. Lots of 2 stroke lovers on this forum by the way.

  14. These any good? Fleabay item. 141051932790 Or 171136381719 Or 221287157641
  15. Hello and welcome to the forum.
  16. RT1 for me. The DT is no faster than the 175 DT and parts are a lot harder to find. The extra cubes will help when riding and keeping up with modern traffic. Welcome. Lots of 2 stroke owners here, I have three.
  17. Where would a lot of bikers be without the CG125? Bread and butter to riding schools everywhere. When I taught CBT we had 3 and they took some abuse but always kept going.
  18. Don't post workshop questions in the bar please!
  19. I would not recommend any of these but............... Part fill it with diesel. Part fill it with redex. Stick a roman candle up the exhaust and light it. Run it with a 50/50 mix of 2 stroke. Mix some 4 stroke oil in the fuel. Johns TS was smoking at Squires, just enough though so try the oil he is using.
  20. Another post moved to the workshop!

    The tank looks like a YA-7 one.
  22. What oil did you used Andrew? Not the car stuff I hope. The clutch may just need adjusting. Most large adjustments are done at the engine side first, then fine tuned at the lever. You may have an adjuster part way down the actual cable (not on the lever). Is the push lever on the left hand side of the engine returning to its correct position and is there some free play in the cable? As DT says, get the oil level right first.
