A forum for owners of Yamaha TTR250 trail and enduro bikes!

So a simple (ish ) job has become a nightmare! I was torquing the lower pinch bolts up to spec and was just thinking wow that's tight and snap doh. Any advice how to remove and where to get said bolt? Its the lower yoke pinch bolt top bolt ( caliper side. I cant seem to upload a photo? D

I just purchased a 2001 TTR250 in California. Previous owner said it was originally from Colorado and hadn’t been ridden in about 20 years. That being said, anything I should take care of right now? Tires are old so I know I have to take care of that, carb was just cleaned. Also I heard these bikes come in m...

Just joined, as my wife has just purchased a 1993 ttr250 and it looks like I'll be looking after it.

Hi. Lately I hear a strange sound in the engine from my TTR250, it is a model from 2005 with over 30000km. One friend (a mechanic) said how it was probable the timing chain but I am not sure. I will try later put the sound here. Mostly I hear it more when the engine starts and it is not specially hot. If the timi...

I find it difficult to shift up when standing on my TTR250, and I'm wondering if a shorter shift lever might help. Time to replace the lever anyway as I bent it yesterday. Does anyone know for sure of any shift levers from other bikes that will fit on the TTR 250? I've searched for aftermarket TTR 250 ones b...

I'd like to replace my bar mirror which was in the bike when I bought it *see photo. Any ideas who made it? I'd like something very similar. Ta Dave

Hi all, My seat is missing all of the foam damper pads from the bottom. This means there is a lot of play in the seat when fitted and it rubs on the petrol tank (to the point that I had to get the tank welded as it had rusted through). Is there any specific type of foam / sponge that I should use to fit new dampers?...

Hi. I am new to the ttr forum and just wanted to say hello. I am Mike, I live in West Sussex and have been riding trail bikes for a while. I have picked up a ttr250 that I would like to restore and use. So I thought it would be good to join the forum. Cheers Mike.

Hi, Apologies for the long post that follows. As the title says, my OE tilts to the right when taking hands off. It does so at all speeds and even when hands on, I still have to sit to the left side of the seat. As it's my only vehicle and I do long distances with it, it is pretty annoying and tiring having to ti...

I've stopped receiving emails from the forum. The last one was July 8, 2025. Did I do something wrong?

Hello all! on a whim I picked up a 2006 TT-R250 this month at an auction. Super clean. trip odometer says 105 mi. Hoping that is all it has on it. Wouldn't run without the choke on even after the auction house stated "Runs Great".... cleaned the carb and now she is good to go (1 little grain of something in...

Rotten exhaust pipe + hole in silencer which I thought 🤞might justneed re-packing. Yamaha parts £300 approx, Dominator (from Poland) parts + del. £150 Quality...

Hello folks. Very pleased with my new(ish!) 1995 Raid, lovingly restored by the previous owner. Took it out for a proper run in the Devon lanes today after delivery last week: didn't miss a beat, such a great bike - feels much lighter and more nimble than the CRF300L I had a couple of years ago. -- Edited...

Wanted Raid model (with the round headlight). Lower mileage / reconditioned engine, quieter exhaust preferred (if possible). Based in Exeter. Cheers 🙏 -- Edited by DevonTTR on Tuesday 27th of May 2025 12:25:03 PM

Evening all, just wondering if anyone has experience of fitting a WR250R bash plate to a TTR250?

Hi all I have a 1995 TTR250 with what looks like an exhaust from a 1994 and the bolt that holds the exhaust to the frame has gone missing because the thread is worn out, is this easy to repair by welding a nut in its place or could I tap a new thread in if there's enough meat? also can anyone identify this exhaus...

I'm going to be using my first ultrasonic cleaner soon but I need some help on common cleaning solutions to use found around the house, its a 30L so it takes a lot of solution especially if I buy it pre mixed instead of a concentrated solution, I've been reading up what to use and the MSDS (manufacturer saf...

Hi all I'm looking for a check valve for my 1995 TTR250 its number 9 in the service manual and also if you have one I'm looking for a choke lever as mine on the outside has a bad rubber boot seal I guess its possible to buy just the rubber boot seal but I would buy either if you have them, thank you.

Hey all, Family holiday to USA shortly and I was wondering if there are any TTR250 parts / accessories that are easier / cheaper to get over there that I should look into bringing back with me. Especially any bits that are unavailable in the UK. Thanks! Rob
