hybrid400 Posted November 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I had one back in the day, I thought it was ace, it was shit....... Funny you should say that,my lad was overjoyed with it at first but soon came to the conclusion that life at 36mph was plain dull and dangerous and is counting the days til he can have 125.

Hendo Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I having nothing to add other than that a TS50X was the object of deep lust as a 16 year old. I wanted one badly. I had a 1997 one at 16 (P478 UDU) and would love to find it again now. Picture of a picture - As Barryj said, big bore kit (Suzuki actually sold the kit), higher final gearing and proper road tyres, not knobblies was the way to go. Mine would sit at 55mph comfortably on the flat all day, whch just about kept the HGV's off your back. Top speed I got indicated was 67MPH, down hill etc etc! It also had about 7 top ends in the 2 years I owned it. Related? Probably! A piston kit was summat daft like £20 back then though. As for tyre pressures, I have no idea sorry.

willbloke Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I have a TS125X and the genuine manual says 150 kPa front 22PSI (ish) and 175 kPa rear about 25.4 psi , I would guess the 50 isn't far off ? Currently being restored . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chancho196 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I had an '86 model. Loved being able to get around on my own at 16, happy days. Eventually fitted a big bore, after numerous attempts at porting the original barrel, and it had a Gianelli expansion chamber and DEP silencer. Tyre pressures would depend on what type of tread you're using. For road use I'd go about 28-30psi, but that's a personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
