In rebuilding my 325 into a 350 as it has finally succumbed to the dreaded barrel weep, I have found the 6th gear in the transmission is quite badly pitted on the tooth surface. I know this is an issue with the xt/tt 600 engines (top gear being 5th in these) but didn't realise it was much of a problem on our en...
PO55 in pieces again - I do not love this bike - and just to make my life more interesting, one of the exhaust manifold nuts sheared off when I was removing the exhaust pipe. Any advice as to how to remove the stud - I have tried loads of WD40 and heating with the blow torch, but it still wont budge.
Hey, So 8 ish years ago I had the mess of the decompressor bung leaking so changed it for the aluminium turned bug sold on totally ttrs. Now its leaking again. I havent pulled it out but has anyone else had any issues? O ring need replacing? I was just gonna buy a new one but not for sale now. I changed the bolt...
Hi all, I’ve had my TTR 250 1996 for 10 years . The master cylinder failed a few years ago, with rear brake sticking on, and I replaced it with an aftermarket one. The rear brake started sticking again last week and cracking off the master cylinder high pressure connection didn’t free the rear brake so t...
Hi All. I joined the forum a while ago when I bought a ttr250 as a project. It's complete but the engine is no good. I have been trying to find a complete engine. But have had no luck. So I think I will sell the bike that I have as a project for someone else to take on. Unless one of you has an engine for sale? If an...

So my problem started when I came to take thebike out after a longish 1yr year of no activity. Starts up fine ticks over fine will rev up if throttle is op...

As there are a few 325s about, and the 350 kit is selling, I thought I should begin a thread about carb jetting for the big bore engines. Those of us who have been running the 325 for a while may have noticed they run a bit rich if the jetting is left standard. Sort of the opposite of what you might expect (coun...
Years ago when I last went riding I used to fill up my backpack with all types of useless crap that was heavy and probably only usefull on everyone elses bikes. What basic tools and spares specifically suited to a TTR should I carry as a minimum? Generally we wouldn't venture anymore than about 100km...
Has anyone found a reasonably priced lithium battery that fits in the TTR tight dimensions? I have a 93 model, I assume the later models have the same dimension carrier 150x90x60, can anyone verify? thank you.
I have just converted my 1997 TTR250 to a "Supermoto" .... It was relatively straightforward and CHEAP, once I figured out which wheels to use!For the rear, I fitted a DT125X (17" x 3.5"), which more or less bolted straight on! All it required was a slight modification to the TTR...

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...
To try and take the guesswork out of which size cable clips go where on the frame, I decided to be more methodical on the last dismantlement of a metal-tanked OE. Raids and blue TTRs might be slightly different - but I don't think they are! I took off 11 clips and they are four different sizes: four 6mm, one...
Some of you may have realised by now, there is talk of a 350 kit becoming available. There has been some really hard work done by a fellow TTR nut, to see if it could work. Measurements have been taken, suppliers and manufactures have been approached and it would seem it is a feasible project. The seed fo...
Just rebuilding parts of my 350 while I wait for a bolt to turn up and tried getting the exhaust on Im sure I’m being stupid here but I can’t see what I’m missing. The header doesn’t go on, not even close! The silencer end only goes through the frame in one orientation and that lands the head end jammed into t...

hey all trying to diagnose a no spark issue I did accidentally blow up the ignition coil trying to do a bench test on it so a new one is on the way however after checking a few things i'm not so sure the coil was ever the issue few things I found: voltage at the orange wire going into coil is consistently readi...
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...
Ten years with me now, five years on Pheonix exhaust & shorty header, still a loyal companion on a sunny day! Thanks for all the help & support from this forum through the years
Hi, my 1993 TTR was ticking over and suddenly cut out with a loud bang. It is now dead and the starter button makes no sound on activation. I put it in gear and rocked it to free up the sprag clutch in case it was stuck but no joy. The starter has always had a recoil sound after starting, I've had the bike at lea...
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.
