https://www.ebay.com/itm/305144319802

i'll be putting this bike up on ebay in the next few days, will post a link.

ok, still for sale. have talked to a few people about pricing and i'll let it go for 12k.

regrettably my TZ250 is for sale.

1997 4TW but with 1999 carbs and airboxes (pressurized ram air). the engine was built by guido fiedler, in Germany where i raced it last, perhaps five years ago,...

is this bike still available?

genius, thank you!

hi All,

i discovered a bad bearing in my 4TW transmission last night, and i need to have the bike ready for Assen next weekend. i'm not equipped to do this job, so I need to find a bearing ASAP (i...

Has anyone installed a gear indicator on their TZ250?

i'm checking online regarding the different models available and they all seem to require speed and rpm inputs, plus an input for neutral gear...

nice!! =)

i forgot to update again my location; i'm back in Berlin, Germany. if someone were to fix the tank, better if it's in europe. i'll send Andy Cowell a mail anyway. thanks!

need a new tank for my TZ. the old one just gets older every year, and more dented.
my bike is a 1997 4TW, not sure which other models have compatible fuel tanks.

anyone have one, send me a...

hi, is the tank still available?

thanks Gangus, i've got this printed out but it's for 5KEs.
i also neglected to mention my 97 has the 99 pressurized air boxes, carbs and 4DP-40 CDI, so i assumed it had been set up to run unleaded....

Thanks Neil, I appreciate the feedback. I'm still learning about this bike.

that you say the heads have been modified to run leaded is a surprise to me. I had always assumed these heads were the...

thanks for the reply.

i forgot to note my timing is set at 1.9mm btdc, slightly advanced from the standard 1.7mm.
any ideas on a starting point for deck height?

best regards,

Hi all, here is a multi-faceted question:

in my 97 4TW i've been running Sunoco 110 leaded (from the pump at Blackhawk Farms Raceway)
with this setup:
R6/380
pilot 22.5
pwr 75
head vol 8.6cc...

Hi All,

here is a link to the video of my first ever race. i won!
the competition was pretty weak, and the TZ is strong so it was no contest.

my riding isn't the best, any constructive...

many thanks for the feedback.

Richard, i would like to get over there and race with you guys but chances are slim i will find the time! still, i'll shoot you a message if i plan to. thanks.

Hi All,

i plan to get my racing license July 19 at Blackhawk Farms, then i believe there are races on Sunday. in what CCS class would i race a TZ250??

thanks,
B

thanks Anand, i'll try that trick this weekend. =))

alright, thanks for the feeback! it seemed to start easier in the past, so hopefully the new plugs help since i don't have a starter tool (or a choke). also, i'll try spinning the engine before...

it's a real biatch to get my bike started. it doesn't just fire right up. you have to push it for a while and feather the throttle in strategic ways. the jetting isn't far off, if at all.

so, i...

the LSL damper fit up perfectly. it has 100mm of stroke, but you don't even notice the extra 10mm. fits right into the stock yamaha damper clamps too so there were no modifications necessary. took...

thanks for the info, Vince.

so, after trolling Ebay for weeks looking for that perfect deal, it's apparent there isn't really a wide selection of affordable steering dampers. the cheap ones are...

okay, the Sprint dampers seem to be hard to find these days.
does anyone else have an idea for a sub-$250 option?
