Looks fantastic. Nice job! Are you using stock or aftermarket pegs? If aftermarket what make/model/year bike?

Thanks! KTM foot pegs from '04-15 or so, all fit these year TM's. Can be readily found on ebay. I used the TM pins and springs. Both of the TM's I have came from the previous owner with IMS pegs, this one had one that was bent/mangled. I may swap foot pegs between bikes in the future.

Ride report?

I had a few small bits to finish. I added grey frame tape, and used an eletrical cable holder for the front number plate and brake hose guide. Also needed some heat tape for the right side panel to prevent melting on the silencer. So now, about ready to go. 

I've ridden around my back yard a little. I'm still nursing a knee injury as well. I need to fine tune the jetting now. Has a good mid range hit with a narrow powerband. Tough to jet for Minnesota fall and spring weather. 90 today, 50's later this week for a high. Hope to test again this weekend.

Have fun man, nice work and great looking bikes.

Always liked this gen TM, had a local shop I had a couple of YZ/CRs from become a TM dealer around this time (they still sell them now I think), they always (understandably) have that vibe of being special bikes.

Gorgeous bike and great job on the restoration. I am just finishing my 2000 300EN and it was funny reading this thread as you came across all of the same issues I had. Be thankful you don't have the 50mm Zokes. Impossible to find parts for. 

 

I'm just a bit north of you, do you race an D23 off-road? I would love an MX version to match this EN. There was one for sale in Winnipeg a couple years ago, I should have bought it.

Wow, nice work, that looks great! The 01's were one of my favorite years, they just looked fast sitting still.

If you're looking for any NOS OEM parts I have all sorts of stuff that is out of production from graphics kits to swingarms back to the 90's.

Welcome! Dave at Get Dirty Dirt Bikes in California has great customer service and very knowledgeable. Between him, ebay, and just knowing what parts interchange, most things are available. 

Hope to see some posts and pictures on your bike soon!

You might have some trouble getting parts with the tariffs. I bought a lot of stuff from Europe for mine.
