Hi, since buying my TTR back at the end of December it has had a misfire. Now it is always there but not constantly, for instance I rode it from Derby to South Wales a couple of weeks ago and it was okay at a steady 65ish in the pouring rain on the motorway but then was missing firing on the back lanes. I have p...

Hi all, I have done most of the maintenance tasks on my 2003 model TTR since I bought it last autumn. One thing I have not looked at yet is the cam-chain and tensioner and I was wondering if these tend to give trouble. Has anyone any advice before I go at this task? Thanks! APW
