I normally like my Yamaha's in blue but that red and white one looks very nice and not seen one before.

Hi superfour
There were a couple different red and black tank designs.
I have a red and white spare tank from a 98 Bellgarda and another one slightly different design if you need.

looking an ohlins rear shock and a set of supermoto wheels

There should be quite a few threads in here, years ago around 2007, on this subject doh

One thing; the exhaust end cap is held on with just two pop rivets - yep, one day mine blew off and disappeared somewhere into the hedgerows, so I had to get a new exhaust for that reason alone. It is well worth keeping an eye on those two, rather flimsy, pop rivets!!
And the pop rivets are inserted in the wrong orientation IMO. Once they wear a bit on the ends they get very loose, and hey presto!!

Second thing: I do happen to still have a set of super moto wheels for the TTR600 - Black Excel rims and Talon hubs with some rubber fitted - probably Bridgestone from memory.

yes i know there were a couple of different styles..
when i was ordering my bits of yamaha today the said a new blue re tank was £500 odd quid..i got a brand new blue tank..still in its original box..never used today for £50..bargain eh..
whats your tank like? anything like the style in this pic?
im able to get all the graphics from a site in germany..
i notice inside the re blue tanks that the plastic is white..even though my own original tank is mint i will strip the paint off it and see what its like..might just have to spray the top red and apply the decals and clear coat it..

can you send me pics of your tank..condition and price?
thanks
sean

Thanks for the link for the graphics I see they do a few different styles and the tank on that gorgeous bike pictured is two colours which makes it look nicer, did you manage to locate a seat cover like the one on the picture rather than the standard one in black with a bit of red on it ?

Hi,
I will send you some pics soon, when I get some sorted out.

I have measured the rear hub spindle, if only because it has a couple of spacers (of equal size) which were used for my TTR600.
So, the spindle width of the basic Talon hub is 167 mm as well as I can measure it with a tape measure.
With the two spacers inserted into that hub, the dimension is 185 mm.

I haven't tried to measure the front hub spindle because it has the recess for the speedo drive - not impossible, would just need to define exactly where to measure it.
The front wheel does not use spacers for fitting to the TTR600.

Also, I am assuming that the spindle diameter on these bikes (R and the later RE) did not change.
