'Tarding a TS185?

[JDizzle]

So i dont really go out motorcross riding anymore and was wondering if anyone had 'tarded a ts 185 before? its a registerable trial bike so i figured it could be good with a bit of an engine rebuild and boring it out (all the TS bikes have interchangable parts). Has anyone done this before and could possibly give me some advice on doing it? thanks

yeah what he said, you'll have it going take it round your street a few times then think, my zzr goes faster, I shoulda spent the 2k on supercharging it with a vacuume cleaner motor.


and for it to look any good you will need to rebuild the whole lot so its all tidy. and thats another 5k right there.

[JDizzle]

matty, i think you have probably given me a worse idea

[MattyA]

its been done with success, my tafe teacher did it, but i wasnt that interested on what he had done at the time. Gettin laid was way more important.

[JDizzle]

this is the best video ever.
you have truely inspired me matty/creme.
Now, to find a leaf blower..

[rod]

My god. I had one as my first bike when I was twelve years old. Twenty five years ago. It'd be a lot better as a trail bike for someone either very young or very old, rather than a motard for someone more in the prime of their life!

[MattyA]

Thanks creme!

dont use a leaf blower, get an old vacuume cleaner motor and a power inverter. then you will prolly only want it on a full throttle so tou may want to adjust your needle and jets in the carb slightly for full throttle.

[JDizzle]

hrmmmm
so many ideas..
i think i should just depart with the 185 and put the money into the ZZR, i dont really go trial riding anymore sadly

[MattyA]

yeah good idea, the 185 is never going to be as much fun as you think.

[MattyA]

or save the cash for your next ride.

[JDizzle]

yeah, selling the 185 and using the money to fix the ZZR for now, wont need a big bike for another year so i have plenty of time to save

[twinrock]

yeah, selling the 185 and using the money to fix the ZZR for now,

These were only ever designed as a trail bike with a heavy steel frame and not overly great handing.

Had an early one way back with an extended swing arm, lay down longer motorcross shocks, TM front end, TM top end including chamber. With some gearing changes and as much weight as possible removed, it become a fun ( if rather slow ) enduro bike.
