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. I pulled over and looked at the brakes to see if something got stuck between the caliper and the pads. There was nothing there but I noticed the brakes where very hot(duh). Does anyone el...

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 Guys n gals, i probably need a new speedo for my ttr. anyone used the Trailtech Endurance 11 and also KOSO BB EX2. I saw someone used the cheap ones on the bay about £25. Any long term views appreciated or other options. Mike

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. The screen lights up, and i have 12 volts coming in on the red and the brown, but only showing about 1.7 volts on the blue. I understand this should show 5 vo...

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. Now has about 3 to 4mm runout, will spend a while trying to get this a bit better. But guessing with a knobbly on a couple o...

Mrs H has said she would like to join me along a couple of smooth trails. I was given the rear pegs but don't know what I need to mount them? Are they bolted on only are do they have friction washers, springs of any sort. Workshop manual shows nothing. Anyone have parts manual pics ? Cheers Dom

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.

Hi all, as is the norm as soon as I bought my bike 2weeks ago, I bought loads of stuff, one being a new headlight. The previous owner had broken the lens but not the cowl.

Hi there, I'm new to the forum but its been a valuable resource for me since I got my 2002 TTR250 a couple weeks ago.

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...

hi everyone, I have another question. i just got my ttr250 road legal and have been riding it aroun. I feel like I am shifting up and down way more than I do on trails. Is too much shifting bad for the transmission? Also at red lights should I turn the bike off or will it get to hot from not moving?
