I am still busy reading and searching, but I thought I would put this out there so long. I was quite surprised when the new to me TTR felt like it topped out at 80km/h.

My son washed out the front end of the TTR, now the forks and handlebars are not aligned. The bars are favoring the right side of the bike. Do I need to loosen to the headstem bolt, or do I start with the triple clamps and front axle? I would appreciate your kind assistance with this. Thank you.

Hi, Just noticed the bottom of the rear shock is rubbing on the swingarm cross member. Any ideas as to why it might be doing this? Will adjusting the shock stop it happening??

Well, not only did my son twist the forks on the TTR, he lost the key too!! Just bad luck ride last night. Anyway, how do I go about getting a replacement? Would this be a dealer only thing, or are there other available solutions? Thanks again.
