Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

Well Saturday was a good day for me, I went for the first go on my trx after sorting all the problems out. A big thanks to all on here who helped with advice and parts. And a special thanks to Paul (TZX660) who helped me loads with the rebuild.

Really pleased you got it sorted mate - looked & sounded like a good 'un so really felt for you when you had so many problems. Mine was actually worse but at least i expected it!!

Enjoy from now on eh?

Well today was another good day went for a ride out in the lake district covered just over a 100 miles with no problem. I am really starting to enjoy the TRX.

congratulations on sorting the bike ........... hope you get many happy miles together

Cheers zednine, now the motor is sorted gonna pull it to bits and paint it and do a couple of mods.

She`s looking really nice John, I`m so pleased you are now in the `feel good` zone over her.

Is that my spare engine? Hope it was ok?

I like your back end - whats that off?

'twould be a YZF750 swinger yes?

not his swinger, his back end!

R6? of what vintage?

Dixonj`s rear end or oldracers race bike rear end? Can we use the term SEAT UNIT please, my homophobia is kicking in.

Oldracer`s seat is Aprillia RS250 or Honda RS250 I think.
Can`t view dixonj`s piccies from here sadly.

Hi oldracer, yes it is your old motor had it stripped and rebuilt, new cam chain, valve stem oil seals rings and a few seals all genuine yamaha parts and it goes very well indeed hasn't used any oil as yet.

Cheers john
