My mate paid just over £6k for his new YZ250FX. He reckons the ignition mapping allows it to be a sensible trail riding tool so he can race his enduros and take it trail riding

Wouldn't be my choice but I no longer do enduros!

Here in Australia Yamaha still sell the WR250R, perfect replacement for the TT250R 5k oil changes etc. Cost me $8000 Aus on road, I paid $6000 aus on road for the TTR in 2013, I think Australia was one of the last selling the TTR, the WR250F would be nice but too much money for my skill set plus I don't want to be changing oil at 500kms

Now a WR450R would be nice !!!

My TTR gets oil & filter changes at well under 500km....
About every 3 rides that avarage between 100/150km per ride..
Same with the boys CRF150f...

theres still a few TTRs for sale here... quite cheap now as Yamaha
is doing run out prises to get rid of there stock...


I was doing the TTR every 5000kms with a really good semi/syn oil, Yamaha say 10000kms so 5k was ok, The WRR is recomended at 5000kms & is being done today

My rides would range from 150kms to 400kms in a day & very common to do a 250kms ride, my XR was done at 1000kms as per Honda's service schedule

 

Lad at work with a WR450 was changing the oil at 500kms & would add up after a while, I just paid $40 for 2lts of oil & $15 for a filter, at least my 2 x Triumphs are every 10k & that costs me around $60-$65 for oil & filter

 Hey Terry, 

Do you mean you serviced the TTR at 500k and Yamaha recommend 1000k servicing? I haven't seen where the ttr is recommended 10k servicing? I've wondered how the ttr would put up with longer servicing than 1000k if mostly road riding.

 Will look up the manual tonight, Pete was doing his at 500kms
