Hi all, I'm new here, from south west UK. Excuse the question straight away

I'm picking up a TTR next week and need to get a chain (to go with garage wall anchor) before getting the bike as theft is pretty bad around here. Can anyone tell me if they currently use a 19mm thick chain through the frame? Or wo...

My TTR 250 only got delivered today and i'm already thinking of getting the frame powder coated. It has quite a few bits of rust around welds and the subframe has rust under the rear fender. This goes against my OCD i hate rust and think there's a bit to much to sort out with spray cans. I'd also have to remo...

cosmetically, the only damage that bugs me on my 06 ttr250 is that the front fender has some very noticeable deep scratches and wipe out grinds in it. Seeing as finding a new fender here in Canada isn't cheap for a new OEM one, I'm considering a cycra front fender. They're supposed to be made of good quali...

So I just bought a 2002 TTR250 and its leaking gas due to cracks. I can JB weld the tank but I am also looking for options on buying a new tank. Does the OEM XR650l tank fit the TTR250 or only the Acerbis ones? I do not want to spend too much on restoring this bike, so i am looking at used tanks and other options. ...

This is the start stripping and prepping, I don't know if any of you guys have worked on a big bike like a BMW, it's not as complicated as it looks just remember to take photos as you go, that way if you forget how it came apart you can always revert to the photos, that should apply to any project.
