I have just removed the oil pump from my Yamaha TY250C twin shock. In "the old days" back in the 70s we ran Castrol Super TT at 20/1 or maybe 25/1. I am told modern oils are much better and I have heard stories of people running 50/1 and even 80/1! My preference is Castrol TTS which I assume is ...

Thank you all for your help and useful links. David is right, its in the book. This is a good example of how when you get I flustered and down on myself for being so silly that you don't see things that are in front you, like the fact the part is indeed listed.

cheers

I recently had dealings with Paul Arnott from Hellteam and was suitably impressed. I live in the country and have recently taken up trials again. Now, riding gear etc is impossible to get up here, and as it happened I happened to be in Sydney for a short time but only had very limited time. I phoned ...

Thanks for the great links Jens. Some really cool TL Hondas there! (And your English is perfectly fine, no problems)!!

Stay in touch and let us all know how the Honda comes along.
