On my last ride I noticed when I shifted from first to second my clutch handle would stay held in. 100% sure I'm clicking all the way up to second Clutch cable operates just fine so I think its internal Any ideas? should I be concerned? Thanks

I bought carb on ebay and was cleaning it. While cleaning I noticed there is a hole see pictures. Should it be like this or is it missing some part? I hope not :)

Blue model 35,000km with little dirt work but i do get up it through the gears on the road at times. oil changed every 1,500-2,000 kms , although i dont know the first 10,000 km history of the bike.

Looks like I need a sprag clutch, idle gear and started motor :( Any one got any of these parts and willing to sell, I have read it is best to buy a brand new sprag clutch.

I need to replace the gasket on the right-hand side of the engine case because it leaks oil. Do I need anything to stick the gasket down or do I just throw it on and put the case on?

I was just stripping out a cylinder head tonight and found a couple of very odd "things" under an exhaust valve - see photos below. I thought first off they were shells but I crushed them and the walls were thick and crumbly - almost like rotten wood. Any ideas what they are or were? Brian

Good morning everyone!

I also noticed lots...

Every now and again I get a "First time I have seen that!" moment and that happened recently when I was replacing a weepy cylinder base gasket on a friend's engine.

Due for a new rear disc, the shop lists 3 different ones. Apart from bling levels is there any difference in them?

I just purchased one of these today, so should arrive a 2-3 weeks from the US I don't have enough strength in my wrists to fit a D606 rear tyre, I can do the front, but the back, just can't manage it.

Here's an odd one to ponder: I have a Koso digital speedo on one of my ttrs.

Hi all, I have pulled the carb out recently on a 2007 TTR250. I have seen a couple of pictures where people have said there is 2 O'Rings under the cover of where the diaphragm and needle are. Is this true for my model? As when I pulled it apart, none fell out. Perhaps they have perished completely? Tim

Does anyone know if applying plasti dip to a cracked carb diaphragm will work to seal pressure? I will eventually replace, but I just spent $75 on carb rebuild parts and don't want to spend another $35 just yet. I assume it would be best to apply to underside of diaphragm due to the suction. Does gas c...

Hi guys, I am not very happy because I hardly can find anything on the internet for my 1995 Open Enduro. I hope I won't regret buying this old bike. There are parts for later models (1999 upwards) but nothing for old TTRs. My question is are the fork gaiters the same on '99-08 models as on my 1995's? Could I...

Every ad I see for a TTR oil pump includes a little semicircular tin guard.

Not sure of the purpose exactly - can an...
