Main thing to look out for is the carb, if its a normal flatslide TM28 then you have the standard type that we have over here the 2rh, rk , I think it was, whereas if it has a 32mm Dellorto carb on it then its pretty much same as the 4dl Belgarda one, much sought after. Only ones I get as 1992 not just for the Swiss market , but for Europe, was the 4DL1,4CL2,and the 3PB4 models and the the other nearest model specifically made for the Swiss market was the 3PD2 made in 1990.
Motrax speedo converters are what I use. They fit between the speedo cable at either end ( 2 different types) and have a small gearbox inside to change the amount of rotations the cable does from kph to mph. Gold ones fit at the wheel end (speedo drive) and the blue ones fit into the back of the clocks. There is a 4dl speedo cable on ebay at the moment with one of the golds fitted. Could be thats it hard to fit on that model of bike behind the clocks but not sure.
They are about 25 quid. I'll find a link tomorrow.
i got it wrong its a 1988 tzr 26hp (2rh-2rj i think)its got disc front brake and drum back, i bought a mph speedo off ebay for £15 delivered,with 2000 less miles on it,than the bike has done what i was askin is,would it be a direct replacement for the one on the bike?or would i have to replace the drive aswell?i will post pic,s at the weekend when i pick it up.
