Try searching the tech section here. http://www.tr1.de/index.php A lot of useful info and most relates to the XV920.

WOW!!!!! I had one of them as a kid. Stripped naked for buzzing along disused railway lines:-) Great fun.

Try this site Loads of info though the transaltion thing doesn't seem to be working at the moment.

Checked today and the carb is seated correctly but doesn't feel snug. I'm now wondering if I've got the right boots?? I renewed them during a rebuild as the old ones were perished but trying to get spares is abit of a mare:-(

Hi, I'm having problems with the Carbs coming away from the boots thus letting in air. I can't tighten the sercuring ring any tighter as this distorts to boot creating the same problem. Anybody got any ideas? Cheers Gary

Very Nice, well done.

Sorry, have a look here as well. Very popular on the continent.

In that case it may be worth looking at the early xv750 and 920's as they were shafties. I've seen the odd ones on ebay in my never ending search for TR1 parts. Try a numbers check with the following sites. I've used a fair bit of 750 stuff that is interchangable. https://www.cmsnl.com/payment.php?method=1&Proceed=Proceed http://www.babbittsonline.com/pages/parts/viewbybrand/default.aspx

Is it the twin shock version?

Hi all, what are peoples opinions on "What is a classic"? My personal view is that it is something special that no body else had done or a new innovation that everybody else followed. My TR1 is classed as a classic by insurance companies but only because of it's age. I though age related to vintage? The bike itself is based on ideas taken from "Vincent" which in my mind built a few classics that are now vintage!!!! I hope you see where I'm coming from? just something to mull over this wintery weekend!! By the way, any more TR1 owners out there? Gary

OK! Cleaned carbs again, no joy. Sent to be ultrasonic cleaned, still no joy. Got a second hand set from ebay (XV1000) put them on, fired her up. Both cylinders popping away nicely and just to make sure burnt my finger on the exhaust. A bit of tuning this weekend and get the correct jets in. Not given up on the old carbs though. I'm determined to find out what the problem was. Thanks for the advice. Gary

Yes. Sprayed down through each channel individually, all clear. However, tried again this morning and it has sprung an oil leak from somewhere at the rear???? Fine spray of engine oil that I will investigate over the next couple of days. I'm now thinking compression as a factor. Need to find the leak before I go any further. I'll keep you posted. Cheers Gary

Had the carbs off today and checked all the jets and jet ways. All clear? Still not running on rear cylinder. Got good spark and compresion? Any help/ pointers/ where to check next greatly appreciated. Cheers Gary

Cheers Drewpy Next port of call. Gary
