1976 saw the appearance of the much awaited '''TZ250C'''. The biggest news here was the new "Monoshock" chassis, with the rear shock featuring adjustable pre-load and compression damping, as well as disc brakes front and rear. Motor-wise, the factory chose to pursue ease of riding rather than outright horsepower. Revised porting comprising wider intake and transfer ports with altered angles of entry, raised compression and a new exhaust achieved this for them to a certain degree. The exhaust was mounted on new design brackets, and the clutch basket "boss" to primary driven gear attachment was improved by changing from previous model's "dog" teeth to a female spline, this of course required the primary driven gear to be altered to utilise a male spline. The bike sold remarkably well at just £ 1,500 including a well stocked spares kit. | 1976 saw the appearance of the much awaited '''TZ250C'''.
