The alarm on my TTR drains the battery so I wired in a permanent plug to connect a Ni-Cad jump starter. It never fails to boost the battery enough to get it started even when the battery is below 12v. This morning when I tried to start, the starter button didn't make a sound, no click, nothing. The lights w...

I just bought a new FMF Q4 slip on exhaust, and thought I would remove the header pipe and clean it up while I had the muffler detached. Though the retaining nuts and plate came right off, there doesn't seem to be enough clearance to actually remove the pipe. I can't pull it forward enough to clear the main...

I have checked and re-checked but cannot find a direction arrow on the sidewall of the tyre I am about to fit. Makes me think maybe the D605s are reversible. Anyone know for sure please? Can't find anything on Google It would be nice to get this job done now as the tyre and workshop are warm Brian

Over the years I have come across many wheel rims that have corroded on the inside next to where the tube valve and/or rim lock fits. Water (and maybe even salty water in the winter) gets in and starts the corrosion. The best way to prevent this happening is quite simple. Fit seals to the tube valves and a r...

So my TTR250 20016 blue model confuses me a bit. The only remnant of indicators is the indicator switch on the handlebar. There aren't even any holes or brackets where indicators used to be. Also no trace of a relay on the harness. So I've gone and bought LED indicators as well as the appropriate relay. I...

Just fitting a new set of D&D decals and started with the rear mudguard as it's the easiest to do. I haven't fitted decals for ages and it took a little while to remember the little tricks. Quite pleased with the result. Fork legs next, then side panels and tank.

OK – so this doesn’t feature a TTR tank but the principles will be the same! I went into my workshop one morning and it stank of petrol. The cause was a filler patch on the bottom of my BSA C15 petrol tank falling off and petrol dripping out of various pinholes where the tank had rusted through. Having attac...

Hi guys, please help, I just can’t seem to get the rubber seal from the generator on the crankcase to seal, it is, as they say”pissing out”. I’ve tried squirting gasket gunk round it, but so far to no avail. All sensible ideas welcome, cheers, Brad

Long time since I've been around here! Back on the TTR and have been noticing some odd gearbox behavior. Specifically, un-cooperative shifting gears when idling at standstill. Doesn't like going from Neutral to 1st or 2nd, or indeed shifting down from any higher gears if I coast to a standstill. Lev...

Hi recently bought my TTR 250. The first ride revealed that the front end seems to ping off most things rather than suspend nicely. The original owner had put new seals on and replaced the oil for 7.5wt. I was wondering if anyone uses lighter wt oil such as 5wt to soften the forks? the tyre i noticed are in...

Hi there does anyone have a spare oil pump pin for sale or know the dimensions? I have lost mine during the rebuild process. If you have the dimensions then potentially I may be able to use a hardened needle bearing (cut to size)? Thanks, I'm annoyed I lost mine!

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.
