Exhaust cracked right through today 😟. Don’t think it can be repaired ? So looking at new one . What do the new stainless ones sound like ? Good or too loud ? Keep it standard ? Thoughts ? Cheers

I noticed that the shorty header pipe is touching the oil pipe bolt on the right case cover. Could it cause any problem? I don't want to undo the header bolts unless absolutely necessary because one is helicoiled and if it fails the repair will be troublesome. Helicoil cannot be used again...

Hello everyone. I recently bought a used TTR-250 raid. After a while i noticed that if the bike was left being off for more than 20 hours i would have hard time firing it up again and also i noticed white smoke coming out of the exhaust at high revs (burning oil was my guess). So i decided to do a top end rebuil...

Hi All I ride my TTR250 in the dusty outback of NSW Australia (Cobar).

I have at...
