2004 Yamaha TT600RE req spares in USA

Hi all
Currently 6 months into a round the world tour and I am looking at getting new chain and sprockets in the USA.
I know they never imported this bike to the USA but I am really struggling despite many hours spent searching online.
I am currently in California and happy to travel to get the work done or if online store I am happy to wait for the postman to come.

Thanks
Geordie aka Will

How, Will

Well done so far. I'm not from USA or a TTRE owner, but I have just looked in an online catalogue to find commonality of the sprockets. This may not help you find a pre-packaged chain-and-sprockets set but may help you find the individual components - and a single retailer may give a discount for the whole package.

I also presume that you have a standard setup for the model, as you've not stated anything to the contrary. You have the option, of course, to go up or down a tooth on the front sprocket or more on the rear, if you wanted to change the overall gearing-ratio (although you may require a slightly different length of chain, if you add or subtract too many).

- The standard 2004 TT600RE's chain is a 520 type with 106 links, which is shared by a multitude of other bikes and you should have no problems getting one of those.

- The standard 2004 TT600RE's 15-tooth front sprocket is also used by the 1999-2003 XT600E 4PT/4SL.

- The standard 2004 TT600RE's 47-tooth rear sprocket is also used by the 1997-2001 XV125 Virago 5AJ (and also 2000-2004 XVS125 Drag Star models with 520 chain-conversion).

I hope that this info' helps you to source the parts and sort the bike out. Best of luck.
