Ive got a 77 xs360 thats having trouble stayin running. It wants to start when cold first kick, but once i start driving it and pull the clutch in to down shift it shuts off. It will jump start up again when i dump the clutch but if i dont it wont start until i give it time to cool down. Idk what it is maybe it just needs a good tune up. Any ideas?

Hey, I just bought my first bike, got it home and it wouldn't start the next day... -Its getting spark... Picked up some ether, removed the air filter and sprayed in- tried kicking it over with filter both out and reinstalled. Only difference is that now when I kick it is that the subtle spark initiated popping sounds (motorcycle sounds) are now accompanied with high pitched chirping sounds- tried bump starting as well- same effect. The only other thing I can imagine it being is a too light or high oil content in my premix? I've tried and tried with this thing and am feeling rather defeated. -I'm so new at this, the sad thing is that it would probably o…

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone could offer a little help on this. I have a 2001 Virago 250, and it only has spark intermittently. When it starts, it starts right up no problem and runs great. When it doesn't, it doesn't get spark and will turn over without a fire until the battery dies. It doesn't seem to change due to moisture or temperature either. I live right by the beach, and it does corrode do to the salty air, so I was wondering what would be the first thing you would check? I'm unfamiliar with the ignition system on this bike, and my online manual was on a different computer that crashed. I have already repaired the starter switch and foot brake light swit…

Hi ya Just logged on as a new member, anyone in the Northwest of England got a TRX 850 - just got myself one and its running a bit rough a low speed - anyone with any ideas????

Hi All Trying to fix fork stabiliser to front forks and am having difficulty in moving the plastic shrouds, Can anyone help ?Cheers

The emulsion tubes on of my carbs are so badlly worn that you can see it with the naked eye. It has been fitted with dynojet needles and these may or may not be worn, so I am replacing the lot with standard main jets and needles. Does anyone know what position the E-clip should be on standard needles? The Haynes manual states that you should note the position of the clip before taking it to bits, which is not very helpful. In case anyone else needs carb spares NRP are so much cheaper than Mr Yamaha. Regards Mark.

hi there I own a 1995 model Yamaha TRX 850...Japanese import to Australia....It has a speed limiter and limited to 180 km/hr...Has anyone know how to remove the limiter?...or could it be done...few mechanics up in Darwin/NT suggested that it can not be done....any ideas would be highly appreciated cheers Jack

Hi Guys n Gals Anyone know where I can get a good bellypan for my TRX 850? - just broke my other one

I finally weakened and got my triple - a Trumpet Splint Arse in black. Sadly, the poor old Trixie has to go at the end of the month as I cann't justify two bikes (not even with one as a track day tool only). So I have been putting some serious farewell miles on it. I'll miss the booming roar of the big twin (but will have the nice snarl of a triple instead) and, despite having twenty five more horses to play with, the Trumpet actually seems slower.... a real old man's bike. But Ohhhh-ho-ho the heated grips! Now, where's my cloth cap and muffler - I'm off to sit in the snug bar boring eveyone stiff with the tales of the great days of long ago.

Hi Can anyone tell me where my TRX 850 was imported from? The VIN starts 4NX, it's red with a white frame and wheels, it has Brembo front calipers. Thanks Bruce

Hi Can anyone tell me where the paint codes for my Japanese import TRX are hidden? I'm after the correct white that is on the frame and wheels. Other manufacturers put them on a sticker under the seat somewhere, I've had a good look and there is no trace of that sort of tag being on the bike anywhere. Thanks Bruce

Hey all im trav a new member just thought id give out some info on a problem i had with my trx850 and from what i hear is common with most yamahas... if anyone has ever experiecned there bike back fireing and running on 1 cylindar (if a twin) or 2 cylindars (if a 4) then your problem is there is water in your sparkplug inlets... just dislodge them and spray some wd40 on them... also if you can try to put a clean rag down the inlets to soak up the water... it will do the trick... ps sorry bout my shabby spelling lol

Just wondering if anyone knows if a TDM850 engine will fit into a 96 TRX frame? Are they compatible?

Hi,does any one know where to get a slipper clutch for a trx850,if not does anyone know if an R6,R1,FZS1000 or a TDM900 clutch will fit a trx 850, scragg
