I've got 2 and 3 engines
An '02 with 100k on and a '07 with 60k.
I changed the engine in the '02 at 82k for a 900mile one.
My plan is to build the '07 up (as it is ULEZ compliant) as my daily.
Put the old engine back in the 02 and sell then build whatever engine that isn't in the '07 as a hot one. I think 110bhp is possible with oversize pistons/rods and hot cams. Then throw that at a TRX frame, with R1 front and a YZF750 rear.
This is very much a long term, slightly dreamy project. |
That sounds like it's going to be an awesome project hope you share it here. Not going too far with this one just restore it & get it running nicely although I would like to change the front mudguard I don't suppose you'd know if a thunderace mudguard & hugger would fit would you? |

So the strip down started today this is as far as I've got.
https://i.postimg.cc/QN7fDy1F/20180923_163853.jpg
There are a few bodges & the radiator is kaput as you can see from the colour of the coolant on the floor. I would've got more done but the exhaust downpipes defeated me. I've got the fittings out but the collars will not budge. I do have a small blow torch but it's butane not map gas & I'm a bit worried about using a torch near alloy anyway. Open to suggestions? |

Likewise. I have seen some beautiful TRX projects, a bike really worth doing something with imo. The TDM engine sounds interesting. Have you looked at the ease/difficulty of fitting it in the TRX frame? Engine mounting points are significantly different. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

i've got a 97 TRX that I got resprayed by a chap in Corby after throwing it down at Rockingham a year or two back. Not overly powerful (72 at the rear wheel dynoed at RP Motorsports in Grantham) but very sweet to hang off the side of.
So long as you always carry some oil around with you it'll be fine. I've had mine for almost seven years and I love it. Sooooo much character. |
