Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

Had the bike in dry but unheated storage for a year and needed to move it today so wheeled it out with the intention of putting it on charge overnight to see if it would charge up or if I needed a new battery.......Turned the key and too my surprise the dash lit up so I thought Hmmmmmm,,,,,,Couple of twists of the throttle (no choke as FCR41's fitted) and pressed the starter......Fired up and was ticking over sweet after a little gentle revving !!! Well chuffed.

I've left mine outside for months in winter with no cover on it and its fired up first hit, its part of the appeal for me now, it s gritty little b@stard so I show it just enough love to keep me moving!
