Hi I am talking about an 04 blue tank model bike that I have had for 12yrs so it is not new to me. I am reasonably ok with practical stuff rebuilt engines etc . 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...

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.
took the carb off and the inlet rubber has delaminated question is, are any of the after market inlet rubbers any good or should i stick with genuine ? I see some pretty nasty looking ones at less than £10 and have no interest but I see some at approx £30 that look as if they are actually made of rubber and cou...
I currently have a lowering link fitted but fancy seeing what its like with a standard dog link My bike is an 03 TTR250 I think its the same link for all models though Anyone fitted a lowering link and have their standard one available ? thanks
I bought these connectors quite a few years ago to use when refurbishing Yamaha TTR250 motorcycles as they match the original parts connecting the digital speedo sender to the wiring loom. See my eBay listing here The first two photos are from my own photo library to show where they fit Brian...

is there an alternative to the Yamaha shock protection flap on a 03 TTR250 ? There are plenty listed but am unsure if any of them fit or could be modified to fit thanks
Hi all, Putting my TTR250 up for sale. 6024 miles. Spend my free time on my eMTB now, so not riding it ! I bought it in Dec 2024, got indicators fitted and oil changed, and full MOT on it. I did two rides - little road ones - and then, apart from a monthly start up, it sat in my garage. I have now SORN it. I will sel...
