After my recent bit of green-laning I noticed my right boot had a bit of oil on it. Today I had a closer look at the bike to see where it had come from. I thought it was going to be the banjo coupling in the photo, but it turned out to be the allen screw below it. It looks like the screw had been glued in place with...

Just a quick question. I have an OE with standard digital Speedo on it and out the back of it is a blue and red striped wire that isn't connected to anything. Is the Speedo supposed to have a back light at all or does anyone know what on earth that wire is for? Cheers Jordan

So have the following issue with my bike and would appreciate any ideas and help. The bike starts when cold and run quite happily until the engine starts to warm up at which point it dies and loses its spark. If you hold the throttle open fully it will run but as soon as you close the throttle back to idle or...

The rear fender (blue 2010 model) has the black plastic extension (for the number plate) that is held on by three bolts (one at the top, 2 on the side). Does anyone please have a parts number handy for the metal side collars that are the spacers for the plastic? Unless you locktight them on, they fall off i...

Hi there, I noticed a slight weep of oil had gotten a little more noticable so decided that it was time to investigate. I replaced the copper washer behind the neutral swtch thing and checked the generator covers bolts. I then rembered there was one hidden so I took of the cover for the gears between the s...

Przepraszam, tłumacz Google. Czy uruchomi silnik stopą bez akumulatora i czy będą zapalone światła po uruchomieniu? Can I get rid of the battery if I have only a kick start? -- Edited by tom13 on Wednesday 28th of March 2018 08:35:51 PM

Hi all just a quick question I've noticed on my oe that someone has run a cable from the battery negative to an watching point on the frame. I' fairly sure that isn't standard and just wondering if anyone on here knows what effect it may have on the battery if any. Cheers in advance. Jordan

hi everyone, today I was using a gas can to fill up my nearly empty TTR and when I was pulling out the gas nozzle a small amount of gas came out of the nozzle and ran down on the seat and some went down the sides of the tank and dripped on the engine. also a small amount went on the frame near the key switch. I am wor...

I have just had an email from a customer about the mudguard brace I sell in the shop, it states that the holes in the back of the bracket do not line up with the holes in the mudguard/ fork fixings.

Hi everyone, I have another question for you guys. Is cold starting and or riding bad for the bike or engine in cold weather(40-50) Fahrenheit. I am not worried as much about the bike as I am the engine. Is it bad to start the engine when it is colder out? I'm worried that the oil flow isn't great and it will c...

Hello folks, how does one separate the mechanism to replace the small torsion Spring? The large one I'd obvious and straight forward, but cant see how it comes apart to fit the small Spring! Push fit? Cheers in advance

hi everyone. I noticed that the very bottom of the carburettor always has a bit of gas hanging from it. And it looks like the engine case directly below it is wet. I felt the engine case and it feels dry so the carburettor must not drip often. Does anyone have this problem and what would fix it? Thanks.

I was adjusting the angle of the handlebars and levers when out popped the clutch switch. I can see that the outer part of the switch cable has a register which fits the lever housing but try as I could I couldn't get it to stay in.

Hi, a question on batteries. How long do batteries last on the ttr? I put a new battery in my 2005 ttr a little over a year ago and when it is not in use it is on a battery tender. When i went to start it today it was as dead as a dead thing, nothing on it. Surely a battery should last longer than that length of time T...

A few weeks back I noticed there must be an oil leak on the RHS as my wrapped exhaust was smoking a fair bit just forward of the join to the rear section. I'd not noticed it before as the bike has mainly been out in the wet and the exhaust wrap gives off a fair bit of steam then anyway. Upon investigation there w...
