Hi Team, I am having an electrical issue with my Bike TTR 250 1994 model. Started with the start button having a hard time to start the bike, then when to the headlight not working, then spread to the indicator lights. The Dashboard Odometer and the break light were the last components to die. Now the bik...

Hi all, My girlfriend has nearly got her ttr250 raid ready for the mot but the one thing being a pain is the front brake light. The rear brake is fine so we know the rear is okay. The if I replace the front switch (with an aftermarket) it makes no difference. I disconnected the electrical block connector...

Hi Folks, would appreciate a bit of advice on this if possible. The riding experience on my 05 TTR is best described as "clunky" with respect to the throttle take up, smooth and progressive it is not. Don't think it has ever been really smooth since I've owned it, but I would expect everyone here who ride...

I noticed the speedo cable was rubbing into the lower fork tube. I've put a bit of tape behind it to stop the wear The notch is pretty deep close to 80,000ks on it though

I have been asked a lot about this lately, so I thought I would re post my old solution to a cheap starter motor repair. Hi I have been doing a lot of maintenance on my bike lately, and have spent quite a few pounds. Now my starter motor has packed up, shredded gears, done the sprag and large idler gear, then...

Hi Guys, I have got an oil leak on my Engine and silicon cant seem to sort the issue. What do I need to replace? The top gasket only ? Also when I rev the bike hard, I can see smoke from the exhaust. What should I check for here? Kind Regards

Hey guys, new here, been reading up on a few posts. I am going to look at a 2005 TTR 250 today, gonna possibly trade some stuff for it which would put me about $550 in the bike if I decide to trade. The bike is currently not running, owner said the timing tensioner failed, but was running last week, he said it h...

I was cleaning up a clutch cover from a blue TTR and thought I would check the crankshaft end oil seal. I was surprised at how hard the seal material was and how worn the inside looked so I dug it out to have a look. The inner diameter measured just over 14mm and it fits over a 14mm end of the crankshaft so not i...

My boy came back from a ride ( private land) and said that the bike battery died witch seems mad because I’ve just fitted a new battery, starter motor, and sprag, because it started to bang when switching off engine, so today we had a look and when I put multi meter on battery it said 12: 7 v battery ok! So th...

I had to reset my Trail Tech speedo recently and have the options to enter some indication points for high rev range during gear changes. I've had a quick search but didn't find anything conclusive. It has the option to flash LED lights to change gears. Has options for High rev range and Danger. Any idea...

A mate gave me this tip and it seems to have worked! My airbox intake boot is a tight fit and it is sometimes difficult to get it to sit fully on the carb. One remedy might be (a) to find some pipe that is a tight fit in the mouth of the boot, (b) cramp it in tight. (c) pour really hot water over the boot, (d) pull ha...

2006TTR 250, set for a couple years in friends garage, was given to me. I cleaned carb and changed oil and air filter and put a new battery in it, it would run on idle with the choke pulled out but would die upon giving any amount of throttle. I bought and replace all new jets and still the same issue. it ru...

Wondered why the garage was smelling of juice lately, I think it may be down to this... Slight weep of petrol from this joint I think. New gaskets or carb off to try and tighten the screws in the bottom up?

I know that it is a good idea to change brake fluid every few years but hadn't appreciated quite how old fluid can deteriorate over time until I opened a front brake master cylinder/reservoir today. I had already removed quite a bit of coagulated nasty gunk before I thought to take a couple of photos. Yu...

Hello. I have an old and rather excessively modified non-running TTR250 that I've set aside because of all the issues it kept getting. I'm wondering if it's even worth fixing this thing as I've already sank over $1000 on repairs alone and it still keeps getting issues. This thing has lived in the mecha...
