Do you guys check it when the engine is dead cold (been sitting overnight) or do you warm the engine up for a minute or so then let it sit for 5-10 then check it? I swear I read somewhere you check the TTR cold but everyone I know with a more modern bike checks it with the other method

Hi guys, Just to be clear: all questions I'm asking not usually are just from one motorbike. As I'm helping my friend at his garage, first TTr was the one I wanted to keep; second belonged to a customer, than then brought a third one, so yes, they are three TTR's I've been/I'm asking about. While checking...

The guy who owned this ttr 250 before me apparently did not know that the float pin only comes out one way and broke both of the float shafts right at the hole. He put JB Weld on it but as soon as I put gas in the bike they softened up and fell off. What's a good alternative for repair? I tried to solder them And...

Has anybody upgraded the springs in the standard 43mm forks, I tried to get some progressive springs from Hagon shocks but they don't make any. I was just wondering if anybody had done anything similar? Cheers Andy

I have a problem with a TTR 250. Engine jumps well with choke and runs idle without choke very well. When driving comes no power and the engine jerks. Feels too little gasoline, or misfiring. Who can help me with tips? I would like to sell the TTR, but only if it drives well. Many Thanks ! Chris
