G'day all,great forum heaps of good advice currently building a Pe250
(80)to ride and have a TS250(76) waiting to be restored to keep.

Hi Eza, good to have you aboard. Can't help with a flywheel sorry but just out of curiosity, are the '79 PE250N flywheels the same? I see these all the time in the US but by the time you'd land one here it'd owe around $80-$90au. I'm always at odds with myself and resigned to the fact that sometimes I'm best buying in the US and getting it pronto as even if I do find the stuff I want locally chances are the prices would be much the same :-\ pretty sure you'll find one in Oz though if you're prepared to wait.

The TS is a goody, '76 has the TM styled cases, black motor and alloy wheels. Only drawback I see with this model is supposedly they were a chrome bore. In saying this, I have seen a TS250A fitted with an oversize piston so I dunno what the go is ??? love my TS's or any derivatives thereof ;D

The B/C/N flywheels were physically smaller than the T/X. It will fit though.
Leith had an early flywheel and stator on one of his 250's. You have to drill new mounting holes for the stator to suit e.g. instead of at 12 and 6, do them at 9 and 3.

You might want to raise it on the PE List at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PEmotorcycles/

Thanks,the TS is the one i really want to get stuck into,the engine only needs
cosmetic work which is a great headstart rebuilt not long before i got it.

Im gonna take my time with that one ,the PE is apparently at 280cc i bought
another stator the one it had let go breaking it so the bike came with no stator
or flywheel.I found a flywheel but too small the advice above helps me greatly.
