I have used the oven to remove all bearing and replaced most of them however there are two which I am not sure about. I have tried getting my head around codes but I'm making no progress. I have 2no. I am looking for....

I found this instruction sheet whilst sorting out some graphics the other day and couldn't recall if I had ever posted it up before so, just in case I haven't. here it is!!

Hi all I've been noticing some jitter from my handlebars when riding off-road. Front wheel bearing is fine. One of the shocks also has a bit of a squeak and both feel a bit soft. Is this jitter indicative of leaking seals? It has done 30k km at least so i wouldn't be surprised. -- Edited by JPVIC on Monda...

Google translator. I do not believe that there was no such question yet, but I do not find. Is it very dangerous in TTR to change gears without a clutch? There are 6 gears, close to each other as in motocross and that's where you usually ride and nothing breaks down. Best regards and thank you.

Got a knock yesterday and the left hand plastic lug that comes back and bolts to the headstock now has a length of around 2-3 cm missing in the middle. If I can get some plastic sheet it looks like I could glue this to the remains of the lug at the surround end. Anyone had any experience of repairing the plas...

Hi there, Doesn't seem to be a thread on this at the moment. Can anyone recommend a good instant gasket for use between the crankcases?

Hi there, I split my crankcases today and noticed a crack, I dknt think there is any issue really but I'm not 100% sure. Can I have your opinions please? I guess worst case I could get it tig welded or something?

Hi, I’m hoping for a bit of advice ?? I’ve got a fairly low mileage 2004 TTR and until yesterday the starter motor has been faultless....and the yesterday, part way through a long day, it suddenly ‘spun‘ but didn’t engage, if that makes sense ?? I could hear the starter spinning but it’s not turning the e...

Anyone have any experience repairing a cracked tank? From what I can see, plastic welding would be the way to go, but it's important to exactly match the plastic compound to the tank to make it a long term solution. I've been trying to find a tank for my '99 but they're nowhere to be found.

Just bought a 2003, my first bike. I had no clue what to look for when checking it over. I took it out for an hour and dropped it at low speed a few times. Shut it off quickly, but it left some oil on the ground each time. Looking around, I saw a at the top of the cylinder head is a valve with a hose right next to it th...

My bike wasn't started for a while now, I did a carb cleanup and replaced the fuelling issue, but now it feels like it doesn't suck air in but the exhaust side works, can this be a valve being stuck? Or a timing chain issue? I don't want to open the engine, it's hard to find the gaskets here

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.

Hi all, sorry if this has been asked many times before, but what is the usual distance you can travel before going onto reserve when off-roading.

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.
