Any ideas on installing a bracket on the head stock to mount a nav tower / screen? 1. wield it on, will be the last option 2. drill the head stock & bolt it on 3. fab up some crazy wild looking bracket has anyone had a good go doing something like this? cheers

I have just fitted a set of drop-in cartridge emulators, springs and a new rear shock from Cogent Dynamics in the US to an XT250 Serow (sorry to get your hopes up with that first sentence!) The front end was dramatically improved (ride quality and dirt road cornering feel) so I have been trying to find in...

I’m new to the site and not sure entirely if I’m doing this right? I recently bought a ttr250, and need a metal bash plate for it, does anyone know one that would fit and work nicely?

Anyone know what size the rear shock preload thread is? I'm considering an XTrig preload adjuster and I don't think they list one for the TTR but if I can find another bike with the same thread I can start the hunt on ebay! (This is just because I'm too idle to strip things down to measure my shock...) https...

My mission for this year is to sort the crusty frame on my OE, I'm going to powder coat but I'm slightly unusual in actually liking the purple rims/bars. I don't think black will work with purple & white so was thinking of going for white. I've seen the great photos of other projects like the red/whit...

I find the stock brakes terrible compared to what I’m used to whst are upgrades anyone has done? i going to be doing a yz250f fork upgrade later on in the year & going to run yz250f full brakes with the larger gytr disk, has anyone put yz250f brakes on stock ttr forks? & any options for rear upgrad...

Hello Board Members, our 1999 TT-R250 has a WR250f fork mounted. This conversion seems to work great, but the bike is to be lowered and therefore I would like to know how high it is in the front at the top of the steering head and in the middle of the handlebars with an original fork. That would help me to k...

Any one know where a GYTR exhaust mite be available? Or any decent exhaust as stock is very low currently on everything cheers!

I am very pleased with my 02 street legal TTR250.....with one exception. The forks are way too soft. The front end dives when you touch the front brake. I was told to run 4psi and that is what I am running. Can I buy spacers to make the springs stiffer, or buy stiffer springs? Thanks!

I've always wanted a higher seat on the TTR. Although the original seat is lower and easier to put a foot down in technical situations, I feel a bit cramped and then tend to cramp in the legs during and after long rides on the TTR250. This doesn't happen on modern bikes I also ride. Anyway new seat is on a...

I wanted to see if I could reduce the slope towards the tank on my Raid seat, while also getting some added padding and making it a little higher in the process. I'm 6 foot 3 (192 cm) and feel a bit cramped on the bike, especially as I keep sliding forward and down towards the tank. I have never liked a forward...

As the title suggests I have increased the power to weight ratio on the TTR, perhaps a bend of the truth a little. I've been really busy putting our house on the market, moving stuff & cleaning, painting etc. Well the house sold in a week & for 50g above what we wanted with the bonus I dropped from...

Got a used GYTR tailpipe. Are some tailpipes just a slip on with no clamp needed ? Looks as though there never as been any clamp. Its a nice snug fit with extra thick pipe on the tailpipe where it joins the header pipe. All mounts line up good. Is it as the word goes. ( A slip on ). -- Edited by Markvan on Wed...

I really like my 2005 TTR250, it was the one bike I have always regretted not buying new when I had the chance. I bought this one 3 years ago having run a TT600RE for quite a few years, I ran them both for while whilst deciding which one to keep. For me, the 250 was the clear winner, lighter, 6 gears, better on t...

Hi there, Has anyone found a source for replacement springs with alternative spring rates or succesfully revalved the forks? I have read that the internals from the wr250r are a good upgrade? -- Edited by dlee22 on Tuesday 13th of July 2021 12:14:32 PM

Hello everyone. Finally I found a bike I wanted. It's arriving in few days. Things I will need to sort first is mirrors - the bike don't have any. As my budget is tight, Double Take is not an option, and perhaps not a necessity for now - mainly it will be thumping on paved roads. Anyone had good success w...

Hi all, not really a modification but fairly rare for a ttr250... My ttr250 came with a decompression lever etc but i removed it due to the fact it leaked.

Talking to a friend of mine the other day we discussed why the majority of bikes have cable operated clutches. He rides trials and his Montesa (Honda engine) has an hydraulic clutch and it is much lighter than a cable one even when we'll lubricated. Anyone any thoughts please?

The original front line on my '94 OE was bulging slightly under pressure near the bottom banjo so I ordered a replacement braided line from ebay listed as 'TTR250 1994 front brake line'. The first line that came through the post was a rear line which I returned and re-ordered a front. I've tried fitting...

Hello good night, I recently bought a ttr 250 blue from 2003. I am delighted with the bike but it is not very good and they tell me that it must have some cap on the exhaust pipe, someone would give me a link on how to remove that cap so that it bike go better. Thank you.

Hi All I have the TTR250 with the factory GYTR muffler.. I didn't mind the noise till I bought my son the same bike, however his has the White Brothers E-Series muffler. This is so much quieter.
