Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

I've just stripped the carbs off the bike and the rubber carb joints have some fair sized cracks on them!
Has anyone used the pattern ones off ebay? I think they are made by Tour Max.
Also I probably need to sort the petrol tap as well are the rebuild kits any good or should I splash out for genuine parts?
Thanks.

Aftermarket ones are generally good

Thanks Con Rod. I'll order some up'

I've just received my new carb rubbers and the look very good I fact it's hard to tell them apart from the originals.
I also ordered a fuel tap rebuild kit both are made by Tour Max and are very good. I hope this helps anyone thet needs new good quality pattern parts for their TRX.

Just an update on this.
The carb rubbers are fitted and are very good, I did a 4 hour ride yesterday and it ran really well, better than it has for a long time in fact. ( note I also did lots of other jobs like plugs, TPS reset, tank lift, balance carbs, raised needle one clip, etc, so it wasn't just the rubbers causing problems).

BUT the fuel tap kit wasn't so good in the end, the new diaphragm didn't want to seal off the fuel flow.
The stub the O ring sits on is 0.5mm sorter than stock so it isn't pushed onto the tap body hard enough.
In the end I reused the old diaphragm and just turned the O ring around, I also stretched the new already longer spring a bit more.
Took it for a good blast up my own personal private stretch of the A41 and it hit the red line in top very easily.........
Seems ok now with no leaks or fuel flow problems but I will keep an eye on it.

Hope this helps.
