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...

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.

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.
