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. I have sold loads of theses and not heard of this, but on inspection they do not line up properly. So my question i...

Hi I am retrofitting the stock light and came across these bare wires which seem to be looping the blue ? Any ideas ? Everything works so maybe join it properly and leave ?

Hi everyone I am in the process of making my ttr fully legal and still need a brake light. I found several switches from parted ttrs but have no idea how to hook them up. I see that the tail light has 3 bullet connectors but the switch has a red connector that looks like the male end of the headlight connector...

How the hell do you top up the rear brake reservoir please? Not obvious other than removing a few bits and pieces out of the way. Need to bleed/replenish the fluid after replacing the rear piston and am mystified !

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. I have looked at the detail of fitting a new aftermarket one but am still uncle...

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...

Has anyone found a replacement for the fragile rubber(?) lamp holders for the neutral/ main beam warning lights please. As you have probably already guessed one of mine destroyed itself when being removed!

i was out riding the other day and after about 30 minutes the rear brakes started squealing very loud when I used them.

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...

Hi, i know these speedos on th open enduro can be problematic, but mine just went dimmer and not showing any zero or the current mileqage of the bike.

Decided 17 loose spokes was probably a few to many. So a quick visit to TTR towers for a new set and the loan of a wheel thingy, out came the grinder and after an hour new shiny ones fitted.

Mine is a 2003 blue model with the plastic tank. Whenever I am pushing it or at lower speeds I can hear slight rubbing on both the front and rear brakes.

Since I bought my Blue TTR a couple of months ago I've given it a few outings, come off it a few times, had a fair bit of fun and have now carried what I feel are the necessary repairs and maintenance/mods to make it a really reliable and useable tool with a bit more oomph than it used to have. I decided not to me...
