Hey guys, Mat here I have two broken mountings on my airbox, caused by a perished bump stop on the rear shock allowing the tire to grab the mudflap and rip the airbox downwards after what I presume was a totally sick jump (Thankyou previous owner). This is the top mounting. My plan was to heat the plastic a...

Does anyone have a Yamaha part number (and/or price) for the TTR decompressor kit please? I have "collected" a kit and have a buyer interested but can't find details on the web. No part number on the packets which is odd. Also, has anyone got a decompressor fitted and can tell me where the par...

Like many other users I have never really solved the problem of a dragging front brake on my TTR250, I have other bikes but have no problems with the brakes. I could service it, but it would soon start dragging again, wearing out pads & disc. I finally realized the problem could not be solved with the...

Hi all, We have made it to Boliva on this trip and are doing some of the best trails and unpaved roads on the trip so far!

A simple tip that I got from Steve at Totally TTRs. Slip a rubber glove over the air intake when you are doing a full power wash Depending on how muddy the conditions are that you ride in, it is worth occasionally taking off the side panels, seat, rear mudguard, tank, battery box and headlight to give the...

Curious what oil I should be using in my bike? It’s a 2003 Yamaha TTR 250. Owners manual says 10w-30 or 20w-40 (depending on outside temperature?)

Morning all, Just wondering if anyone has any experience of successfully upgrading the suspension on their bikes? The front end tends to be a bit twitchy with the whole set up being very soft.

I’ve managed to rip the wires out of the back of the clutch switch. My TTR will now only start if it’s in neutral. Logic says I should be able to join the two wires together and make it so it will start in neutral and in gear whether the clutch is pulled in or not. I’ve tried that as a temporary solution but the b...

Following on my earlier post, I have removed the head, barrel and piston and determined that the existing piston is a Wiseco 4689M07350, which is 73.5 mm nominal (0.5mm over stock).
