Austrailians are lucky as they can still buy new TTRs I am 99% sure that the only changes Yamaha have made to the plastic tanked TTRs on sale in Australia over the years has been the tank decals and the frame from metallic blue to black.Does anyone have a link to an Australian spares microfiche please?...

I have a IT non-confident customer looking for a paper manual. The entry in the FAQ is very old so I rang Yamaha UK Customer Services. They no longer sell the paper manual direct to customers.

in the FAQ Section, it says this about fitting a diff rear fender:After-market plastics. You can't get after market plastic for the TTR except an MX style rear fender.

im mainly doing trail riding now so i was wondering if you need to keep the batttery. it would save some weight if it wasnt there, and kick starting a ttr is easy. would it be worth removing it, if so what else could i remove from the electric start system to keep the weight down.
