Does anyone know if the rear wheel from a TTR225 will fit the TTR250? There don't seem to be many TTR250 rear wheels this side of the Atlantic; but I could get a TTR225 one if it is the same size.....
Competing in vintage enduro yesterday and engine revs suddenly rose to run at about half throttle. Cables all ok and throttle returning to throttle drop screw. Completed lap by turning out throttle stop screw, but then the bike kept stalling at critical moments. Had to DNF. Carb recent overhaul, ne...

Had the day off today did a ride upto gingers creek on the Oxley highway for lunch of course went the dirt way a total of 207km . Pretty rough and a bit hot but a lot of fun .
I thought my bike sounded a little loud on my last ride, turns out my exhaust was severed at the join with the header! Rusted through I need to get a replacement pronto - can anyone recommend a UK supplier? I'd rather go aftermarket than stock replacement unless it's super expensive. But if anyone know...
After several years delay (!), I finally completed my sidelined top-end rebuild. All new parts (Wossner piston kit), all machine work sent out to a first-class machinist, 1mm over bore, new valves, cam sprockets, cam chain, etc. Set cam timing meticulously. Before reassembly, I checked the big-e...
Ok. My TTR has developed an annoying habit. It has cut out a dozen times at idle over the past few weeks, so I'm asking for ideas on what might be causing it. Today I took it for a 10-15 minute urban run at 30-40 mph, a 2 mile return trip up a dual carriage way at +60 mph, and finished off with start / stop, 1/4 mil...
After doing the starter clutch & kick starter, I re-fitted the exhaust, as you do. Got the torque wrench onto the exhaust studs and it wouldn't tighten even on about 8 lb.ft. Oh well, **** happens. Any interim repair, other than helicoil? I have a spare head that I will have serviced and fit so I c...
If I didn't take it, it was off to the tip. Far too good to just throw it away, so I took it and got it out of the weather. Wasps had taken over as the top of this insect motel's food chain. I removed all of the plastics, what remained of the seat (I think it may have been sheep food), and the engine came out. Th...
Having ridden twice since owning, since October 22, I've realized I'm not going to get the urge anytime soon. 1997 Yamaha TTR250 Raid, so has the larger metal tank and working headlight. 88832km on last mot which is valid to 6/11/25. Currently charging battery, was weak at MOT due to standing, can't r...
My original clocks are heavy and prone to getting smashed so here's may solution. A sheet of black nylon bolted to the standard mountings. Completely ditched the speedo drive that kept failing anyway, just kept the housing on the front axle, nothing inside it. Orange LEDs on L side are day and nigh...
I was trying to find some thorough details on fitting an oil cooler. It's pretty messy in here, with half a dozen different threads which either drop off unfinished, or don't really give sufficient information. What I've gathered so far is that there is one bolt, located inside the clutch cover, tha...

At last a problem with the TTR, near side fork oil seal badly gone, looks a fairly straight forward job, just wondering best place to get the seals and what oil to use. and anything I should be aware of. thanks.
I am now the owner of PO55 OTS; and very happy with this lovely bike - apart from the mystery of the disappearing oil! There is no evidence of oil leaking, it does not smoke but at the end of every ride ( usually about 50 miles of gentle, Cornish lanes) I have to add at least 100ml of oil just to get the level vis...

Afternoon all looking to convert my 1994 Raid front light with bar surround and replace with white open enduro Mask and headlight assuming its a fairly easy swap? I have the white plastic fork covers off ebay [sits under headlight mask on open enduro's to cover chrome fork tubes] but finding it hard to...
Hey all, My bike started running rough, bogging quite badly. Took it to a professional who said the rubber joint between the carb and engine neeeded replacing. Picked it up and it seemed to be running okay when I started it before leaving. Tried taking it out for a ride a couple of weeks later and it start...
Weekend ride Did a steady 110k lap of the local forest yesterday a bit warm at 28deg for winter but nice with a bit of moisture to keep the dust down enerthing hurts today except my eye lids
Hello gang, does anyone have a paint code for the frame paint for the GREY RAID FRAME, mines the green tanked mode. Even if‘s a close match it would be greatly appreciated. tia, Brad.
Hello, I’m busy renovating my 1995 TTR 250 Raid which I have been using for classic enduros and TRF green laning here in Northumberland. Stripped top end today and find a small amount of rocking play at the small end. I will order a new gudgeon pin first, but I suspect I may need a new con rod. How much play...
G'day guys, There is nowhere on the internet that discusses this topic. I still have the original Dunlops on my bike. I want to change to an exclusive offroad dirt tyre. What brand/types do you recommend? -- Edited by AussieChookchaser on Saturday 7th of December 2024 09:10:45 AM
Well owners have been waiting ages for the latest batch of 6 kits and we have had a bit of a disaster The machinist has started (at last) to work on the barrels and has found 2 of them have not been cast correctly, this means we will only have 4 kits available. I will be emailing all 6 owners, to see if anyone w...
Hi I am looking for a rack to go on my blue 04 TTR - does anyone have one they are prepared to sell please? I am hoping to do some of the TET, so a rack needed for my tent! Thanks Ian
Hi there, I see from the Gov.UK site that my 1999 TTR250 is not ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) compliant and hence will cost me £12.50 a ride the I get it going again. Just wondering if anyone (London based) has any experience of getting their bikes tested and then getting compliant some how??? Cheers,...
