I am restoring a ty250a and contemplating a bottom end rebuild. I have tried a few places for a conrod kit but they don't stock them for my model. Can anyone assist on this issue.

There are several sources for after market rod kits in Australia. I'm not sure of the dimensions of a TY250 rod kit but I would think that is the same as the DT or MX from the same year. If you can measure your rod and pin I should be able to track one down. Last one was around $160 plus fitting.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MITAKA-CONROD ... 19c15f9890Should fit a 250A...........I think the later TY model TY's were different, so first thing to do is check the dimensions of your rod and make sure replacement one is the same.

Thanks guys, the Mataka mx kit seems to measure up the same.............why would they not list it as one. I mean who cares about an MX250 anyway...TY's rule.
I will let you know what happens.

Only the very early TY uses the same rod as the MX bike, so obviously not a good idea to list it as fitting the TY. Mitaka rod is half the price being charged by a TY specialist in the UK, so seems a good deal to me!
