TTR50's are made in china. Doesnt mean they are bad. Don't know if many people know this but they manufactured in china. Just with technology of yamaha (thank fuck!) Just teling you's know though it was rather intersting
I have heard of yamaha techs in china and bikes built there to yamaha specs and tolerances .

Taiwan is about 15 years ahead of china in materials and workmanship so I wouldn't worry about stuff from there. The prob with china stuff is that they can't design things themselves so they can only copy. The materials they use are second rate and their standards are very low. Yamaha will have a MINIMUM standard they have to build to and that is all the china guys will do. So although they are designed by Japanese they are still lower quality than Japan because they come from china.
I find it funny that everyone hangs shit on china and these companies that make it cheep for us to beable to enjoy our sport ,I really think we should be asking ourselves Why our dumbarse country cant make a bike are we stupid unfortunatly yes ,How can we be proud to be an australian when everybody rides something thats not even made here ,Theres not one bike shop that sells an aussie product its all overseas built .Even half the bike shops that have opened in aus close down and run from backyards ........
There are a few differnet levels of china factorys, Big company owned factorys like yamaha, nike and many more and there's the copy factorys .... Some china factorys are dodgey copy makers because thats what the rest of the world wants ... people go to them with a product, not just pitbikes and ask them to make them cheap as possible ... and thats what they do, its not china's fault its the rest of us dum arses wanting the cheap crap in the first place.
Stop buying junk and the cheap china copy factory's will change there direction... you have no idea what its like in china.
And saying when stuff is designed by another country its ok to be made in china because of quality control is a bit of a joke... where i work we have a guy that goes to china and get stuff made for our work and its mostly top notch and you'd never know it come from china.... its all in the buyers control how good the products end up.

Do you have any idea what i aussie built bike would cost! see china has very low payment laws shit like 5cents a week. australia has to pay people a fair wage = much higher production costs
the bike was first built in japan, and then that original bike was copied in china because of the cheap labour. my dad went to the conference at yamah were they told him the bike was built to strict yamaha specifications. it is the same as the crf quality wise. the other reason it was built their was so they could use some of the designs off the crf.
I cant believe how nieve ppl are these days. Things are built in china for one reason, cheap labour.
The guys who spend the 3 to 4 grand on stuff that is still built in china belive that because they payed all the dosh, it must be better.
The fact is parts will still have to meet tolerances, otherwise production rates will suffer because parts wont go together!
You cant say that because its cheap it must mean they dont follow a quality system like ISO9000, or the new TS16949. It doesnt work like that. Companies dont ensure quality because they are forced to, if they dont do it then they cant make parts. You cant make shit parts and still build 600 - 1000 bikes a day. When things are happening that quickly you dont have time to be reworking dodgy parts.
