So, I'm looking for more power! I have a '94 raid. I am hoping to add electric grips and an electric vest. Grips run at about 60 watts. That's almost half of what the stator produces. Are there any aftermarket stators for the bike? Am I looking at a rebuild?

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...

My 1995 model was running great when I did a 200 km ride 3 weeks ago, now it won’t start. I checked spark and compression to find only 65psi. Have checked carby and valve seating plus piston and rings but found nothing apparently wrong. Now out of ideas. ian, Australia

I am stripping an engine and the sprag clutch was really jammed. If you look at the way the bearing assembly has been bent, this sprag kicked back big time! Can't believe it wasn't giving out audible warning signals to the owner well before this happened. I have found the best way to safely unjam the s...

Hi. Can anyone recommend any folding mirrors for a 2005 Blue? There seems to be a lot of confusion about thread pitch, size and rotation. Thanks

Hi, Looking for a workshop manual for 93/94 TTR250. I checked some of posts here but they are dated, maybe cause its nearly 30 years old. I am aware that one can purchase one from this forum but the purchasing process is long and to much personal information just to purchase a manual. Does any one have one...

Bit more work done to my project ttr. Rear shock serviced and rebuilt and I fitted a grease nipple to the swinging arm.

Christos · Christos

Hey guys, How often do you check valve clearance? The manual says every 2000 km, isn't that a rather narrow interval?

Joss · Joss

Has anyone ever fitted grease nipple to the suspension linkage ? My xr600 has them and they make looking after the linkage so much easier .

This is a bit of a long story, but hopefully someone can see what I am missing…… Two years ago, I was given a 2006 TTR250 for use as an instructor at an off road school. It was a perfect bike spending 50+ hours a week teaching novices to ride - competent at everything and comfortable for my old bones! The bik...

My cam chain sounds like it's become loose (clattering, not as crisp as before). Is there a thread about checking the automatic tensioner? Can anyone advise me on this? Thanks

Evening, Has anyone used a different cage/support for their air filter. I have a 93 OE Not keen on spending the £50 for an original Yamaha one. I have seen some plastic cages on the internet but I'm not sure of these are for a Blue TTR? Anyone out there with a Open Enduro using a different cage?

Lancashirelad · Lancashirelad

Having fitted the 50mm lowering link I’ve come to the conclusion the stand now needs shortening, anyone who’s done this how much did you shorten it by, I’m thinking that as the bike had a tendency to lean quite a lot as standard maybe removing 25mm would suffice rather that 50mm, if I put some 25mm pieces...

Got my 94 raid on the boat road after it’s been sitting for a few years but getting a bit of clutch slip, can get replacement pattern clutch plates for £20 or ebc heavy duty with updated springs for £45, is it worth the extra?

wobbly · wobbly

A mot question, was wondering if anyone had come across. Fork seals are generally covered by rubber gaitors and hidden, to inspect them the tester would have to release the clip to do this. Never had an issue but never known a tester to do this, looks like the seals are overlooked
