The TS idea has a lot of merit. As Doc has said the TS frame is lighter than the TM and the geometry is the same. The motors have so much in common and most of the suspension stuff will interchange even if the TS may be a year behind.

The one main problem I do remember with my mates TS125L was that the footpeg brackets bolt on and can sag with a heavy rider or on jumps. I lost count of the number of times I reweled those things. The TM has the brackets welded to the frame and overall it's a stronger setup.

With my weight I'd have to be jumping like Dale Buggins (RIP) to bend em' Brent but yup, replaced my pegs by welding rubber dampened XT250 items to the original brackets and refitted with hi-tens bolts ;)

The guy was about 13 stone and looking back probably not much older.

He was a big boy!

probably a little over the SWL for the pegs but eh, oldfart borrowed the TS400 with a similar bolt on peg setup for Conondale a few years back and it came home with somewhat droopy pegs :-\ he did mention he was getting good air though :P

I agree aswell try for a genuine tm i am stil trying to find a tm400
Can someone please get a TM400 for Michael to put him out of his misery? I love how he takes every opportunity to put in his request for one. If I had a TM400 I'd sell it to you Michael.

Now.....resume normal programming, Hot Rod TS 125 Suzukis.
