Hi, I jsut got a 93 TTR two weeks ago and I'm doing a few jobs on it, well a few jobs in fact! One thing is it has a 'TwinAir' air filter which looks in good condition but is dripping with a blue oil. Is this filter oil? If so is it over-oiled? Can I clean the filter and if so how? Any help appreciated Thanks! APW

Ours needs a rebuild, is there one off another bike that would be considered an upgrade? Or is a rebuild a better idea, also I have read somewhere the enduro version has a higher seat height is this due to the suspension or just the seat? a bit more height wouldn't go a miss and if it's only a change of linkag...

Ok so am wondering what you guys think, the TTR is in need an MOT to get her back on the road but I am unsure what other work she needs to get her "road" safe.

My TTR had a popping cough prior to a carb rebuild and some other minor maint. Pretty much all of the popping cough is gone but I am still hearing a pop and tick while the bike is turned off and cooling down.....sort of like a car does after a drive on a hot summer day. Is this normal?

I'm increasingly using my TTR250 on the road (90% on and 10% off) and it's time to change to a more road biased tyre. There's loads written regarding off road tyres but far less about on road ones. From what I can make out the 'best' size seems to be 90/90 21 and 100/100 18 and maybe Pirelli Scorpions/Con...

Does anyone happen to know if the purple / blue colour can be removed from the wheel rims of the OE model ? How can it be done and what would it leave underneath ?

I had never heard of JIS until a few moments ago! Interesting reading. I am assuming our TTRs use JIS fasteners. Brian Cross-head style fasteners can be found on all Japanese motorcycles. Most people will associate this style of cross-head to a Phillips style bit. This is incorrect. These cross-hea...
