You'll need to remove the radiator to make life easier and not that hard to deal with.
There is a coolant feed on top of the head, good idea to spray some dw40 on the screw that holds the small 90* pipe Inplace as this will need to be removed too so you can take the cam cover off.
Either side of the thermostat housing their are heater hoses that go to the carbies to walm the intake .
Best to mark these so you don't mix them with the 2 vaccum lines that go from the intake manifolds to the fuel tap and fuel pump.
Take a couple of photos with your mobile and you'll be right.

Remove the plugs, if the std toolkit is still on the bike there will be a plug tube spanner in there.
Get TDC on cyl 1 ( alternator side) and the inlet and exhaust cam sprockets have a line on them that you align with the head.
The cam lobes on no 1 should be facing 180* from each other and also on a horizontal plane.
0.15-0.20mm inlet and 0.25-0.30mm on exhaust. :!: :!:
Rotate the crank 270* and align cyl 2 with the cams aligning on the horizontal plane as before.
If you need to remove the cams .
Rotate the crank and align cyl no.1 and sprocket marks .
Loosen and remove the cam chain tensioner . Note the way it fits and mark the top... :wink:
Cam cap bolts are 10Nm.. :!: :!: :!:
While at it get 2 x (KY 50-70 ) keyster carby kits from motorcyclewarehouse.com ( around $100 pair ) as the needles and emulsion tubes wear 20-30,000km due to down draught nature of carbies .
If valves are the issue, Yamaha recalled the early Trx to fix the valve issue so you may [-o< be able to get some inlet valves from them if this ends up being the problem. It's worth a try anyhow.
If not source the valves and gaskets/cam chain, seals and valves from the US as you'll save a couple of bob even with the Aussie dollar at 70c US.
A few of us have gone to larger valves so you may find some good, cheap inlet valves from other members too.

If you are looking for parts, this is a very useful tool...
http://www.trooperlu.com.au/page/OEM-Parts-Finder
Other dealers may have the same thing running these days, I have found the prices from the local Yamaha rip-off shop to actually be a bit less than shown on this site.
Find the parts fiche for the bike you are interested in, ie TRX, then find the part number of the bit you want.
If you then click on that part number in the list you'll get a list of every bike that part is used in.
So, for buying parts from the USA where the TRX was never released, you can instead order parts for TDM 850's, YZF600R's and many other models that were sold there.

That Trooper Lu OEM website is brilliant Dicky. Thanks for sharing :)
Are those prices valid prices with them or just an indicator?

I don't know if they are the correct prices for TLG, but everything I have ordered from my local Yamaha dealer has been a bit cheaper that the listed price.
TLG is not the only dealer with this online look-up tool, others have it as well, just need to look around.

That's the price per item .
Perfect for the odd bits n pieces and a great reference base to compare against after market parts.
The scematics are good to so if you do need to replace something, you can see if any other seals. O rings , bearings or gaskets may need to be replaced at the same time.

The fuel tap is crap, has been since 1996.
You can get a cheap $25 on/off/res tap from ebay that will be better.
Just remember to block the vacuum port on the inlet manifold, don't just leave the vacuum line disconnected.
