I'm thinking of changing out the friction plates on my clutch. I'm pretty sure but not positive that the clutch plates for the WR250 are the same as the ones in the blue TTRs. Can anyone confirm that this is the case?

Hi my ttr rides ok but feels like I'm thrashing it at 55mph my rear sprocket is a 49 and my front is 13. I would like a little more top end speed for road use but would like it to still have power when needed too. What would you guy recommend? What are other people running on?

im looking into getting new side covers from a friend and he painted them. Would paint stripper damage the plastic or would it be fine? Also could power washing them take off the paint? Thanks.

Well i always wondered why the ttr250 only seemed to come out with one grab handle, and i always wanted another just to make it look symmetrical, much like my mates 600. So I managed to get my hands on one from a wreck and thought here's my opportunity. Well what i thought would be a 15 minute job max, turned...

Hi All, I have picked up a 1999 TTR250 and it has a sprag that is starting to get noisy. My question is can I simply remove the idler gear and use the bike as a kicker only? will this cause any damage? This bike will only be used on occasion and not really wanting to spend money if it can be avoided. Cheers

A year a go I went through my TTR 250 to make an overlanding bike. One of the first tasks was to lower the overall bike 3".

Hi All As sprag clutches seem to be getting more expensive as the pound goes down the toilet, I would appreciate to know if any of you have fitted the ones from China?
