I love it!

I can understand.... although the Nederlands (Holland) is much smaller, there very rare here too !

The responses I get are normally, looks FAB, sounds FAB, but whÃ¡t is it ...

You should see me grinning on mine.... I have one of only a few in South Africa. (Apparently there are more, but never seen another for myself.) So every where I go, know one has ever seen a TRX.

.....A woman on a white TRX...

Nope, unfortunately not. Down here, by the time it comes up in the media, it has happened a long time ago... They probably went around the world again a couple of times before I realized they were here. LOL

I still haven't had any problem with spares. Well, did not need any...except clutch lever. Was a 3 week wait. But luckily only the tip broke off, so I still used it. The TRX is a gray bike over here, so is the TDM850 (But a lot of them around) The TDM900 is not though. So I think it shouldn't be a big hassle. (Touch wood) I can order Genuine Yamaha parts from the dealers.

As long as you have the parts book you'll be ok. Just give the parts monkey the number and ask him to order it, irrespective of what it is.

Yip, got it, thanks.

Jak, I came across the haynes manual and would like to share it with you guys. But can't remember where on the net I got it. Was images, but I printed each page to pdf and combined it. To big to mail. (Will see how much it shrinks if I zip it.) Took quite a while to get it all to pdf. Over 300 pages, each printed separately.....
Any way, its all done, and that is the one I use to work on my bike, very detailed with pics.

If you can think of something, let me know.
