Jollyho Mr. Richtea (Earl Grey? Lapsam? - sorry couldn't resist    )

Well then get crackin', the TR1 is a nice plattform and would have had a lot of potential back in the 80ies to show them Guzzis, Beemers and Dukes a rather impolite middle-finger, if Yamaha had developed it into a slightly different direction.

Lots of info on all sorts of power-adders (carbs, exhausts, increasing compression for next to no money) oh and don't sweat it, lots of high mileage bikes in here, so yes we know the whole starter assembly is absolute rubbish, but you can improve to roughly not-quite-absolutely-abyssmal-and-only-mildly-unreliable-levels.

If you got any questions, just feel free to ask. Couple of bilinguals on here, so even though it's a German-speaking forum, surely someone will take the time and translate the gibberish into her majesty's finest.

Cheers,
Greg

If nothing else, it makes for a bl**dy ace daily-driver.
