did the old ts1 200 kits with conversion run a yanaha dt175 piston and gp crank with tv175 conrod?

if so are the old tv175 conrods ok perforamce wise for this kit?

Mine is an IT175 with an RD400 rod

Can't remember if mine in the 80's ran a 60 stroke TV rod with the IT175 piston .Used it on the race track for a year no probs.

mine ran ok on a tv rod only replaced it when i had a 240 conversion done and went for a 71mm piston with 18mm big ended 116mm rod on a 60mm stroke crank

I think AF still keeps the Yamaha 175 IT piston in stock.

Mine was IT175 piston on 115 mm conrod (Yamaha RD400 like above I think). Very smooth revving TS1.

i`m starting to get the patrs together to do one - got genuine it175 piston, crank done with rd400 115mm long rod in 58mm stroke webs
barrel next - needs re plating or may steel liner it - yet to decide

im also running IT175 piston on 115mm (RD 400 Rod) GP crank TS1 200
Used a tv rodded Gp crank with a DT175 piston in a cast barrell ( piston windows welded in ) for the last 10 years. not sure if you can use the DT piston in a TS1( ring pegs might be in wrong position, i know on my cast barrell one of them had been repegged.(by Taffspeed)

hello jake
got the dt175 piston (new) and a gp crank with tv175 rod (i think steve said taffspeed did the conversion years ago with quality big end bearing)
also got a brand new 60mm mec crank

just picked up a ts1 200cc barrel (needs replating)

havent got a clue what set up to choose
60mm crank with ts1 piston
tv175 rod with dt/it 175 piston
dt/it 175 piston with a different rod 58mm stroke crank
?????????

was thinking of using miku i tm24 carb on the set up like you as a tourer

Mine is a Wiseco IT 175 Piston (right) running on a BGM Crank (60/ 115 RD 400 rod).
I guess it´s also possible to use an Blaster piston which is used for an RB20 (left) or DT 175 (middle) but you have to displace the rings pins.
