I'm trying to find a online retailer to source aftermarket parts for the TM 85. I'm looking for things like top end kits, clutch kits, levers, plastics, brake pads, the typical wear and tear things. I'm seriously considering buying a new one for my kid and doing my research ahead of time. I don't want to get stuck in a situation where it's impossible to find parts, or only have a single source for them where I'm held at the mercy of their pricing.
Any of you guys have experience with these bikes and know where to get things for them?

Thanks

Can't help you on parts availability, but I do know the forks need to have the internals hard anodized, as they aren't from the factory. The oil gets dirty ridiculously fast resulting in poor action. The basic fork design is fine, but that step was overlooked.

Even on the 19? I know there's been some changes to the forks but no idea on specifics.

you can get parts from most big suppliers, or buy them from TM america or the dealer you buy the bike from.
Parts are not to hard to get.

Derek Harris at HP Race Development is a dealer for them. He can probably get you parts. I think its also called TM Racing Texas.

There's a dealer in San Antonio that sells bikes and parts. If I see them at Freestone this weekend I'll get his info for you.

The rider area on the TM85's is pretty big. Best suited to taller kids. Definitely nice bikes though.

Yes on the 19.
The spring guide is raw aluminum and the the rebound rod is non-coated unpolished steel. Makes for messy oil in just a few hours.
