Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

Hi there,
I bought myself a 98 TRX for my 25th birthday, have always been a fan of the old Laverda SF's and find that this beauty has soul bursting out the seams.

My new moto:


It's had 3 previous owners, 2 of them ulyses, 40580km, immaculate condition, log books, owners manual, Ventura gear - now sold, Oxford heated hand grips - don't want them, headlight protector, oggy knobs, sheepskin seat covers, new front rotors, near new chain + sprockets, new front tyre, good rear tyre, shims checked at service 500km prior, and Jama pipes. Feels really tight, like a new bike..... I like buying my own presents

I've been reading your posts everyday since the purchase. A couple of questions. I like to have consumables ready to go off the shelf what do you guys recommend in the way of; chains & sprockets?

My fuel economy is pretty good at 4.0-4.5L per 100km, good emulsion tubes or riding too much like grandma?

Cheers,
Martin

Welcome Martin. So good to see good taste in one so young.

btw .... I've amended your post so the picture shows

72SF welcome from SWANSEA N.S.W. The boys were just talking about chains and sprockets on this site recently and suggested THE CHAIN GANG in QLD.

Nah .... nah, if you want to polish your wheels at every stop

But in the livingroom is will look stunning on the paddockstand

Did I hear someone say they want chain and sprockets ? I have a brand new set of 17/43 with an RK chain If someone wants/needs them.

good lookin example... Good to hear your fuel econ is great, obviously the carbs were rebuilt at one stage.. Its only a small job and not hard to do so gratz to you !

PS: keep the polished wheels, they look sweet.
