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...

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?

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

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...

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.

I recently changed the engine gaskets on my 350. When I pull the clutch upshifting or downshifting and pulling the throttle again there is hesitation and once the engine died. I suspect some kind of crack at the carb inlet, oil breather. Any other place I should look? I believe air is getting in there wh...

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. When pulling the original gasket off you could see it had a split or maybe had been pinched on install. I wasn't that happy with the prep I d...

Good evening, Looking for a bit of advice. After a ride I noticed a patch of oil on the exhaust side that had been seeping out. Checked the oil and all is fine there so its not losing a lot. Looks to me that the base gasket has gone. Dry side just showing its not all the way round. New base and head gasket set f...

Hello all, A general question, how far dose the throttle slide have to move before contacting the accelerator pump lever arm. My slide is aprox 12mm open before reaching the arm which seems a bit much and defeats the object of a pump. Should I adjust the arm a little to make it open quicker. Cheers Bert.

Had a couple of hours spare so removed the muffler & engine pipe from the TTR, cleaned it up & gave it a polish. Was unsure if the gold colour would come back but after a short run it started to turn gold, looks heaps better, now if only the WRR pipe looked that good. I know there is no performance gai...

Hi folks. Does anyone know if this rubber insert is a standard part of the Raid chain guard? I'm guessing the 52t rear sprocket is the cause of the wear, but unsure if it's a sacrificial part. Cheers -- Edited by Smedders on Wednesday 15th of September 2021 01:58:38 PM

Morning gents, have acquired a oil leak from the generator cover just below the starter. Is this a straightforward job to replace the gasket, or will I need other parts, oil seals, etc, or special tools. If it's just a remove cover and replace I'll have a go at it. Thanks in advance.

Hi! I recently had my engine siezed (at the motorway). It is now partialy stripped and it is obvious that the Conrod big end is stucked to the crankshaft.
