Hi, In many ways, a TTR looks like the perfect bike for me, light & powerful enough for my needs, however the oil change frequency will be a bit of an issue. My intention, is to use the bike for:Short trips on the roadGreenlaning/TETLonger, overlanding type trips for weeks/months on mixed road t...

I seem to have misplaced my keys somewhere between the Pyrenees and the UK! I have hunted the forum and net but cant find any info on how to remove the barrel? Obviously it is in the off position, no steering lock on though. I am not that bothered in having a key as I don't leave the bike so would be fine to put a...

Hi All I ride my TTR250 in the dusty outback of NSW Australia (Cobar). More recently the smaller instrument panel had started to get red dust inside the indicators making it harder to see that the bike was in Neutral etc. So I thought others may have a similar problem and the fix was quiet easy. I have at...

Hi this is my first post. I bought a 1993 TTR250 open enduro about a year ago and have used it off road a few times where it has been great. I'm about to do my road bike test so was checking the bike over for MOT (it still had one when I bought it) I noticed the indicator warning comes on when the ignition is switc...

Good evening all I've put a post in the newbie section with more details and a picture of it but I’m a New TTR owner and currently breathing new life into a 1994 raid model. The tyres on the bike are perished so I want to get some new ones. I’ve sorted a front tyre (TKC80) but stuck on a rear tyre choice, it curr...

Hello, I'm new to the TTR-250 and new to this forum. While perusing the information available to perform some routine maintenance on a TTR-250 I just purchased, I came across several threads regarding bad sprag clutches. That's when it hit me--my bike may be experiencing the loud bang at shutoff tha...

After fighting the carb and a high-idle issue, I finally got the bike up and running... for a short time, anyway. It's back to fighting me on the idle so it's parked for the summer until I can get it apart and thoroughly sorted. Looking at my engine to try to ID where the various oil seepages are coming fro...

Hi all, Ibe been slowly breathing life back into the raid I bought a few months back and am nearly ready for MOT time.

I have a number of fork yokes that have come off TTRs that I have broken for spares amongst which are some where the mudguard bolt has seized into the bottom yoke and sheared off when trying to undo it.

A simple tip that I got from Steve at Totally TTRs.
