Yamaha TRX 850 - cult youngtimer onboard

Short testride with the TRX 850. Powerful midrange engine, makes a lot of fun.
Thanks to my buddy Thomas for lending me his beauty to get some pics and sound to safe.
Unfortunately I wasn´t able to get good sound records by using my GoPro 5 and a Zoom, so this one is only the reserve shot with my old GoPro 2.

A very beautiful bike

Wow, you must have the front pre load wound all the way out.

Yes, I´ve balanced the sag between front and rear. You don't know how the sag is now because you don't know which springs are installed. Cornering was way better and okay after that changes, you can find it on my other TRX videos. Further problem was to less damping of the rear shock, which causes pumping while exiting corners. Time for a service.

Nice bike, why did you lower the front forks?

[@instrukta]

To get better balance and neutral handling. It´s the stock rear damper.

Gute Bilder, der Ton ist ja schrecklich. Als wenn man die Maschine durch ein 5m langes Plastikrohr hört. Zum Glück weiss ich wie eine TRX mit BOS oder ähnlichem Auspuff in Natura wirklich klingt!! 😀

Du hast leider völlig recht. Der Ton mit der GoPro 5 ist allerdings noch viel schlimmer. Ich hatte zwar einen Zoom HN1 dabei, aber noch nicht das richtige Setup gefunden. Mit BOS ballert es allerdings gleich mal richtig ;-)
