Hello everyone! I have had my TTR for a couple of months now, but haven't really got to ride her much. I seized the opportunity last weekend however to get a decent ride in for the first time. Despite enjoying the bike, it became clear that it is not carburating too brilliantly. It's ok to ride, don't get m...

I have had a few TTR's over the years but one I bought recently I noticed that its got a grease nipple on the rear shock linkage. I am trying to work out if someone has done this or its a lowering link. the bike sits lower I think than others I have had. But maybe its just me, because I have always adjusted the sp...

My old man had a box of motul 7100 10w40 leak through his truck today and the company told him to throw it out but he decided to pass it on to me (thank's mate). There are 16 litres of this stuff and I was curious if it was fine to use in the ttr? It's coming into summer here in Australia and it can average around 3...

I have noticed a few times when the fuel is left on over night on the bike I get a weep of fuel on the hole which is at the bottom of the float bowl where you would drain the fuel out once the drain screw was undone....I don't no why this would be surely there is nothing there to wear out?

I refurbished a TTR for my brother-in-law Keith a few years ago. Great bike and he has been enjoying riding it, when he can't get out on his Duke that is!

Wasn't getting any gas in my carb so I inspected the fuel line to find a piece of plastic in there Is there some plastic that's supposed to be in the fuel line to slow it's drip or is this just some random plastic that got pushed in there? Thanks

Hey Guys. I have been having a whole plethora of issues with my bike, but knocking them out one step of a time. Most recent, I replaced the float, and float Needle valve assembly, since the carb was overflowing fuel when I would turn the fuel on. That issue is solved now. But now my issue is that the bike wi...

Just bought '55 plate (pics in new joiners) and I noticed the h/l bulb was gone when I picked it up so the garage fitted a new one. Now I notice that has gone already, after just ~100 miles. Any faults I should look for or are they a bit prone to going? All other electrics work fine. Thanks

I had a bit of a sort out of my stock of used swingarms yesterday and it is probably worth posting another bit of strong advice to save owners money and time down the line.

Like a lot of people, I am a sucker for the kits that Aldi and Lidl offer. I bought a kit that included what should be a very useful wire brush but, within a few minutes, it shed all of its wires! Is there a make or brand of accessories that might last a bit longer please? Brian
