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.

I used a combination of flywheel puller, heat, rattle gun and a generous helping of Irish screwdriver and it eventually...

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 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?

after putting a new timing chain on my ttr250 2004 model as it was stretched, and it has been starved of oil on the head due to the blanking bolt being left in (sounds nice running still) I thought that maybe the excess heat on the valves and cams had killed the stem seals ( but it doesn't smoke much on sta...
