I am breaking the forks to clean the oil & replace the seals purchased from TotallyTTrs.com one of the forks is proving a bugger to get the bottom bolt out...apparently there is "another way"...as hard as I search, I can't find it though! Can anyone enlighten me please? Regards Rod

The starter has been acting up for a while. Needing rocking in gear then would work. Took it apart and found sticky brushes. Now replaced from Steve. Quite a simple and worthwhile job. Slightly confusing is that the headlight is now brighter????

Hi guys, I have got an 1995 Open Enduro which has got an electric starter button as well as a kick starter lever. It is pretty difficult to kick start it, although I must admit I have not got much experience in kick starting my bikes. Do I need a decompressor kit or anything for it? If so, can anyone send me t...

Hey people I was servicing the rear linkage and when doing up the bottom shock yoke bolt it wouldn't tighten, pulled it out and out came the thread. I'm guessing its too thin to helicoil, and a longer bolt with a nut on the end would probably foul the suspension. There is no thread inside the yoke, its co...

Hi there, I have cleaned out my carb recently and replaced the spark plug because the bike kept stalling on idle.

I thought it was just me but I've been seeing lots of TTR 250s with the bubbling vinyl on their gas tanks. I have used four different types of vinyl and still had this issue.
