Seen this bike for sale. Looks like its forsale with no side covers. Is this a fire hazard. Are TTRs negative earth like cars.

Hello all I hope that someone with some electrical knowledge could help me with my 2004 TTR, I love the magic button!!! Electric start button not working, you can hear the relay clicking and 11.6 v is at the starter motor is applied, but she does not turn over. Kicks over fine, and all idle gears are free....

Finished work yesterday and tried to start the bike to go home and it wouldn't. On the button it just made a small click (and with the bike in gear it didn't do this so I would think the button itself is fine), and I couldn't even kick the bike into life. In the end I bumped it and it bumped first time. When I go h...

hiya When i bought the bike it had a top end rattle mainly when the revs were coming back down which turned out to be stretched timing chain. So i've replaced that and all seemed well but now when the engine gets warm (mainly) i get a rattle asthough the valve shims were loose and rattling against the bucke...

The little pin above the knob in the picture above is missing from my bike. I noticed that it did not click when I tried to adjust it and yesterday I pulled the shock out to inspect. The little bugger has disappeared. Are they sold as a separate part or do I have to find a S/H shock to salvage the part from? So...

I have an opportunity to quiet down my TTR with a muffler end tip found online...from a 230. Will this 3 bolt pattern end tip, which looks the same exchange to my ttr250? Or are the muffler ends different diameters? The previous owner lost the end tip, and I am stuck. Here is a pic of the 230 end, but I am...

I had read that some people had difficulty removing the rear axle and that removing the rear axle spacers could be hard, but F@king hell! My axel came out easy enough but all the spacers in my rear wheel are bound together so that if I turn the spacer on one side the spacer on the other side will turn. I effe...

Are the threads for the mirrors a non standard size?? I tried to use one of my mates mirrors and it would not fit, I have seen Yamaha Adaptors on ebay, some are to convert from left hand to right hand thread and some are for 8mm-10mm, I am unsure which ones to get, but think it is the left hand thread ones as the...

Hi Does anybody know the paint colour or code for the frame for 2005 model? Just stripped everything for a good clean and have an overwhelming urge to touch frame up!! Nothing bad just a few scuff marks etc Many Thanks Steve

Sprok · Sprok

I'm talking about the two bolts that secure the exhaust to the frame. The OEM bolt (with the horrible hex key head) is apparently 90109-082G0-00 but is marked as obsolete. So what are we suppose to use? The equivalent bolt on the WR250R 95024-10016-00 looks the same except with a normal hex head. Anyon...

A customer reported a problem with the first of a batch of header pipes recently made up. It fouled the frame down tube and wouldn't tighten up against the gasket in the exhaust port. I took the rest of the batch back to the fabricators this morning and they couldn't find a problem as they fitted their jig...

Looks like the TTR is coming off the road earlier than expected, in the last couple of days I noticed a bit of oil under the bike, had time to get a proper look today. Looks like the base gasket has perished, not sure if it has been put on correctly as it is hanging out by the edge of the engine by a few mm. Looks l...

My TTR is standard but i have a new FMF Powercore (with db killer) , it came with the bike. I'm thinking of fitting it and opening up the airbox and fitting jets to suit. Maybe i'll also get the short header pipe. I'll still run it in standard form for the next few months before deciding to do the mods. So,...
