2013 TM 85 Mid season.

The TM is holding up great. We have about 25 hours on it with the original piston in it still. (dad is changing it tomorrow) it's ready for a chain and sprockets we've raced in some pretty bad mud this year. Dad is going to gear the bike down a little factory gearing is 17/52 and I think were going 16/53 the bike is geared a little high I never use 6th gear. We also got new fork guards the launch control is kinda cheesy and we broke it the second time we used it my dad says if it doesn't hold up this time we'll buy an aftermarket one. We sent the suspension to FCR and they did an awesome job and Bob at FCR told my dad the forks are high quality and he thought they would work great and they do. The Golden Tyre rear tire is awesome has held up better then any tire we have ever ran, although it's advertised as a intermediate I think it's a little harder then like a Dunlop MX 51 but seems to work great. for an 85 the bike seems to be pretty hard on gas. Last weekend I raced 3 classes for 2 days that's 12 motos and used close to 5 gal. of gas. I used less with 2 bikes last year 65/85 KTM's.

But I do love this bike handles so good and rips like no other 85 I've ever ridden. I highly recommend the TM 85.
