I've pulled back the rubber to reveal some kind of plastic that looks like it encapsulates the spade connectors.. was getting dark so didn't get a chance to faff about trying to get it off but there didn'...

I found a great tip from Lin on an old thread of his which is to get yourself a Pentel White 100WM marker pen. About £4 inc p&p from eBay. An example here. Marking some parts before disassembly can be very helpful come the rebuild. The ink will survive extremely well and is resistant to oil and grease...

Just thought I'd post this here, I replaced my bars a while ago with Protaper - Seven Eighths - YZ high bend - they are exactly the same as standard but much stronger Alloy ones. In case its handy for someone else I thought I'd post it up. Cheers Leigh.

I was doing a check over my bike and it looks like the previous owner put the chain roller in the wrong spot when installing the skid plates. Am I correct? Do I just unbolt it and put it below or are there washers That could be missing?

i was out riding today and I took a decent fall on stone. My guard poped off and it looks like the clutch perch is pulling apart. I haven't looked closely at it before and dont know if it is bent or broken. Any of you know?

is lithium grease safe to use on the ttr250 chain. I work with several people who use lithium grease on their chains because it is so cheap. Would this harm the chain since it is an o-ring chain, does it work well, does it last long on the trails? Thanks

I was looking into purchasing a new shock before I sent mine off for rebuild and found this in the process. It's a different part number than the OE shock but looks identical. Figured I throw this out there for those that are dealing with shock issues. https://www.cmsnl.com/products/shock-absor...

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?

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.
