The XV1000 pistons should fit. The TR1 part no is 5A8-11631-00 A0. Yo can find it on the "Tech Info" site and "Yamaha TR1 micro fiche". So long, Olaf

Re: new o/s pistons Reply #3 - 26.11.09 at 00:45:59 g'day paul! early XV1100 pistons are exactly the same as TR1 pistons - the 1100 gets it's extra capacity from a longer stroke. I rebored my 83 TR1 last year and fitted 2nd oversize 1100 pistons - it runs fine pistons 42H-11636-00-00 rings 42H-11610-20 piston pin 5A8-11633-00 circlip 93450-24028-00 TR1 pistons are now a discontinued part but 1100 pistons are still available from Yamaha www.cmsnl.com also stock many discontinued parts best do a bit of overtime tho mate - they aint cheap!

Re: new o/s pistons Reply #5 - 26.11.09 at 09:00:30 Hi Paul, the pistons i fitted were part no. 42H-11636-00-00 I got them through a yamaha dealer. Total cost including rings etc was about 270GBP The TR1 part no is 5A8-11636-00-00 You'll notice the part No is the same, it's just a different prefix so 1TA-11636-00-00 pistons will fit as well Try your yamaha dealer 1st - they may need to back-order from japan which will take about 5weeks for delivery but is likely to be a bit cheaper than cms http://www.speedsupplies.com/cartdisplay.asp have pistons at 175USD good luck!
