.. The Yamahahaha TRX 850 was prone to cracking too :

Rhino,

got any more info on this, being an owner for 7 years of one of these little belters, it is the first time I have ever heard of any frame problems. Be nice to check it just to be sure.

they crack when fat feckers sit on them. do wheelies and stoppies, well my mates did but he was the about 20-25st at the time, and rode it like he stole it.

Ah....... bit like a hayabusa then?...............


I know when I stacked my TRX, the headstock snapped off, but it was a bit of a big crash! like end over end a few times! New frame sorted that "little" event out.

Thanks fella's.. a lot of time and effort and money lol has gone into it and I really enjoyed the bike and the modding. Hardly anything on there is standard hehe.

They are a bit of a hooligan bike tho in that trim and Ive moved on a bit now,
hence the Bird and touring bug.(must be an age thing..made 50 this year:cry. Cant bring my self to put it up for sale, had it since they came out in 97 but I have got to make a decision soon because now the bird has arrived I really need the room.. :h

The TL that this post was started about: my mate John went to look at it at the weekend and said it looked lovely, then got it HPI'd, and it came back Cat C write off. ?40 well spent! The seller claimed to know nothing about it, and maybe he didnt, but he still wanted over ?2k for it. It's still for sale though!
