[QUOTE="XRpredator, post: 1175516, member: 19389"] I got a swinging deal on a 1998 YZ80 that a guy was all too happy to get rid of. I think everyone knows my lack of love for the two-strokes, but this has the suspenders I want for Pred2's TTR125. Yesterday I decided to tear into the pair of machines and at least get the front suspenders on the TTR. It was almost magical how easily it went together. Some items:[list] [*]The steering spindle on the YZ80, while exactly the same diameter and length as the TTR, has threads in a slightly different spot, necessitating some washers to make it fit proper on the TTR. [*]The YZ top clamp puts the bars further back than they are on the TTR. This makes the key for the ignition on the E-start not quite fit the same. [*]The choke button has to be moved to one side to make room for the key [*]The top bearing on the TTR (balls in a plastic retainer) is not quite as rugged as the roller/race top bearing on the YZ, and the balls will fall out if you're not careful, but it works. [*]Not having the torque specs for the YZ clamps is bad, as the top clamp bolt can't withstand 18 ft-lbs without snapping :bang: There will be some sort of replacing going on there. [*]TTR front fender doesn't match up to the holes on the bottom YZ clamp, and the YZ donor fender is boogered up good. Replacement necessary. [*]The forks are obviously longer, and rake out the front end a bit. Didn't notice a lot of gain in ground clearance. There will be some playing around with raising the forks in the clamps.[/list] I'll post pictures later. Next part of the project . . . Making the YZ swingarm/brake/rear wheel combination fit the TTR. If ANYBODY has any clues as to how this can be done, let me know! [/QUOTE]
