Hello lads,sorry to butt in on this thread.My bike came into Ireland from Italy and is a 47x model.It always bothered me that it had no frame plate even though it has 2 rivet holes for same.Could it be that it never had one in the first place or was it just uk 47x bikes that had none.Omminously the last 3 digits of frame/engine no are 666
Please keep diesels from our roads

When will the big 3 (4?) Make some truly beautiful race reps again????.surely a TZR 600 would be easy 4 them to build?
Jackson, I read somewhere in here that you did not like the colour for the frame paint from the paint code, so you used a different paint, is that correct. I ask as the metallic kind of paint recommended seems a little shiny to me, is it safe to say Yamaha were shooting for an aluminium look on the frame.
maybe if you have a pic that you think best reflects the look you wanted that would help
thanks

Hi Molly,
I never used a paint code,i made the mistake of having the frame powdercoated but the silver was very bright.I had to get the powdercoating removed and redone in 2 pack. I took a nos footrest hanger to my painter who matched the paint up himself.Yamaha were trying to make it look like a aluminium frame that`s for sure.Not sure what people are using now as it`s all water based these days.

Steve and Tom,
Why are most all of the pictures removed from this thread? This was a great thread with tons of awesome original equipment pictures and now only a hand full.

Steve,
Ah...I keep forgetting Tom's server doesn't actually hold the pictures.
BTW, you still owe me a PM of the Pre-production engine. Still like to discuss that one with you, I'd even ring you if you PM your phone number.

A new set of choke cables if available from Yamaha would be £120 plus
