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...

Hey everyone, Some background: Last summer I bought a junky TTR because I wanted to learn some mechanics and get to know my motorcycle better through indirect practice. This TTR wasn't running when I bought it, but I did some work and cleaned and rebuilt the carb and got it running. I did a complete top e...

Hey all! So I bought a totally junked 2002 TTR 250 for dirt cheap awhile ago and have been slowly rebuilding it. Upon installing the starter I got a little confused as to some wiring and where the breather hose is. In the picture below, you can see that I have the starter wire attached to the top of the star...

Hello, I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction. The tank on my 2001 Ttr250 was cracked pretty bad and I tried to repair it but in the end I wasn’t successful. It has spiderwebbed cracks all over and when it has gas it expands and they explode. Do any of you know another tank that will fit it...

Hi, I seem to have a random starting problem on my '93 Raid. Sometimes when I press the button its completely dead, its not the battery because I can try it again 10 minutes later and its fine. All I can think its bad contacts on the starter button. Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

On the subject of rebuilding the rear shock, has anyone ever removed the restrictor needle that is in the shock shaft? Does anyone know which end of the shaft it would or should come out if indeed it does come out at all. There is supposed to be an o-ring living in there from what i can gather but that is all i...

Spyrious · Spyrious

Hello again.I'm preparing the bike for the new season and i'm about to order tires. Other people that ride in Greece recommend Dunlop, a d952 in the front and a d606 in the rear.

This little tank arrived from India (via eBay) this morning.

Or, to ask the question in a different way, does the bolt go in from the RHS (exhaust) of the bike or LHS (chain/sprocket side)? The manual shows it both ways

Hi all. I now own a 1996 ttr250 and I really like it. I do have an issue with it tho. There is a black plastic sleeve that connects the carb to the head. I've noticed that it looks perished and bits falling off it. (On the head side) the engine ticks over okay but eventually it will make a big POP then cut out. I'...

as my bike is fairly new to me the previous owner cobbled up a rubber flap type thingy bob to protect the rear shock which worked fine until the fitting of a new ac10 tyre which after a ride in the peak district is now destroyed, my question is can you get a replacement or is it a Yamaha part only ? Ive tried pol...
