Sorry, not a TTR, but my bro has been having trouble with his early Yam FJ1200 and it falls to me to solve it so I'm after some ideas before I delve in.

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. He has fitted an aftermarket unit. I spotted a brand new light on ebay and bought it for £70 When it arrived it is too big. Looking at anoth...

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?

I picked up a rebored barrel for Steve this morning (first oversize so no double boring charge as was the case with the 280 kit I had done back along) and the price had jumped over an 18 month period from £46 to £54.
