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...

Hi all I'm hoping to get some insight from this group. My TTR started ticking right after an oil change. Idk if the oil is maybe too thin or maybe it's just a coincidence. Some notes: climate here is temperate (8-30C). Current oil is Liqui Moly 4T Synth 10W60 off-road racing. Overkill, I know. Sounds li...

Hey peeps Finally had time for a proper ride. I've been moving house for the last month or so. So I got Teknik in NSW Australia to sort the suspension on my TTR.

Hi all, I'm looking for clarification please. I've read in a few posts in here that the top piston ring is the ring with the marking. As I see it the only ring that will have a certain orientation, and thus require marking, is the scraper ring - because it's important what way the taper faces.However the T...

I have recently been bottoming out occasionally on the rear shock and believe the best way to reduce this is to increase the compression damping. As I understand it, this is normally very easy on a TTR, just requiring the hand rotation of an adjustment knob on the remote shock reservoir canister.......
