Just been messing about with my Brothers new TTR, well happy with it, started on the button, but he wants a new pipe between the header and the silencer.. This one looks like it may give in when subject to a bit of green lane use, the silencer is a Laser Pro Duro, possibly not originally Destined for a TTR, b...

I've got my motor off and right now I'm replacing the valve seals, filters, starter/sprag, and timing chain/sprockets. Is there anything else this 15 year old engine might REALLY need that could cause fatal errors? The mileage is unknown but the top end looks brand new, valve springs are tight, the c...

I've been offered a 00 Raid at small money. The guy who is selling it said he got it as payment for some work. The previous owner fell off on the road,bent the gear lever, rode in home in 1st gear and killed the engine. The present owner had the crank redone and rebuilt it but said it "**** itself"...

I recently replaced a solenoid that worked most of the time but occasionally would only click and not turn the starter motor. Being an inquisitive soul I took it apart to see if I could spot the problem. Nothing obviously wrong with the exciter coil and the "bottom" of the solenoid. The co...

wire colors don't match the wiring diagram so I'm having trouble figuring out these electrical connections. Restored this bike and it's been a while since I took it apart. Three connections, all under the gas tank near the top of the frame: 1: a ground connection that doesn't reach any obvious pl...

Going for a trail ride tomorrow - first since last October! Dug the 325 out, checked the tyre pressures - amazingly all still spot on, checked the oil - all good there, pressed the starter and she fired right up - proper job Checking her over and the RH footpeg support seemed a tad loose. Upon investigat...

Guys, Its the first time I am changing the chain and sprockets on the 4GY. I'm changing the gearing having read the posts on this forum. However, the front sprocket; is it a left or right hand thread? Ive knocked up the flange (insert own joke!) and the 30mm nut has to come off. The bike is in first gear...

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...

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...

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...
