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.

Hi folks, I have a bit of play in the rear suspension linkage. It looks like just 2 of the bushes. Measured at the rear axle to the mudguard it's about 4mm. I'm more than happy to replace the necessary parts, just wondering if I can expect zero movement once completed? Thanks in advance

This is a Royal Enfield starter clutch - or what's left of one. Although TTR250s seem to have got a bit of a reputation as far as sprag clutches are concerned, I think it's a general issue for all e-start bikes.

I've just replaced the seals in my front forks on a TTR 250 Raid. When re-assembling, the instructions are to use 550mm of oil then adjust the level to 130mm from the top of the inner fork tube (fully compressed). However, it then took another 40mm of oil to reach this level - total 590mm. Is this because t...

Hi Everybody I bought a 1993 TT250R open enduro last year. It started using oil and smoking like a 2-stroke. I used a boroscope to inspect the cyclinder wall and found vertical scrathes.

Hey peeps So, a few years ago my TTR started leaking from the base gasket. I stripped the motor and replaced it, it started leaking again after around 4000klms or so.

Okay! My "new" 2011 TTR250 is arriving in a few days, and I'm sorting out what tools I need for the workshop. What would you guys suggest? It's been a long time since I've owned a bike, and suggested tools for the 250 would be appreciated. Also, what gap have you got set on your TTR250? Cheers
