Title: '74 TS250
Post by: Tony T on September 22, 2012, 09:24:16 pm

Bad stuff:
It's ugly. Weird tank(Vesco), guards(DR & XL) and headlight(DS80).
Needs fork seals.
Geared way too high.
Top end jetting needs to be changed.
Carb has no choke, so you need to do the old Euro thing and lay it down to get it started cold.
Rear wheel spokes rusty, but better wheel included.
No wiring for lights at all.

Good stuff:
Rebored with new OEM piston kit. Still needs to be run in.
Excellent S/H crank assy fitted.
Gearbox & clutch working perfectly
New bars, levers and grips.
PE footpegs.
Shocks look a bit average but seem to work ok.
NOS fuel tap.
New kill switch.

I'm more than willing to help as much as possible with any transport needs.


Send me a pm or email if you're keen.

I used to think those tanks were the ducks guts back in the day. I had one on my DT400 and thought it looked like a pukka desert racer. Today I reckon they look like a pregnant wombat ::).
The TS is a good cheap starter kit to create a budget pre '75 racer or poorboy arse basher vinduro mount.

Yep. I bored out the standard mounts to take the PE pegs and pins..... and springs....  ;D

You know the worst part, I really like the big tanked, pseudo 70's desert look. Can't see any desrt races in my immediate future though.  :(
