My TTR got delivered this morning and i'm quite pleased with it considering i didn't view it (ebay sale & came from Aberdeenshire). It's not as good as in the ebay pics but i took this into account as it's normally the case. It has quite a few rusty fasteners and some rust on the frame around various we...

Does my bike's ride height look normal? Could do with it being a bit higher but wondered what my starting point looked like to others before I wound the spring up a bit please. Thanks, Mark

Due to my standard exhaust deciding to fall to bits I have bought a CRD from Riverside. Will I need to do anything to the carbs, total novice with these tbh. At present the bike bogs down at low revs but is fine at higher rpm. Cheers from John

I recently hit a large rock with my bike and it went into my stator cover. There was a hole and it was broke bad. The only thing that saved me from this being a huge expense was the steel engine guard on it from the factory. That guard too a HUGE hit and crushed into the case. It took ALOT of energy and did a grea...

im so happy to have her back. Only had one issue. The threads stripped out of the case that hold the lower left chain guard on. It was very soft. Im hoping I can just go up a hair, maybe SAE and get it to bite. Its not lose right now but it will only get worse when I change the front sprocket. Thank you Brian and th...

Do I need to reuse this bearing in the new stator cover or does the new c cover come with the bearing installed. I don't see the bearing listed in the parts diagram. Thank you.

I have been having trouble with my ttr since I bought it used. Thought it would be a simple carbeurtor cleaning, but that is not the case. Now I have done so much not sure where to go.

I was going through a field of high grass and a huge rock jumped in front of my bike. I was almost able to avoid it but it caught my bike. Ends up being a 200$ mistake I wasn't hurt and the bike will be fine. I just missed my whole day of riding

So many of the bolts I pull out of the engine have this odd chaulky white powder on them. Is this anti-seize from the factory? or oxidation? Should i use thread lock these or anti seize on these internal engine bolts like the bolts that hold the stator to the cover and the cable holds??

Hi All Feel like I'm hogging the new threads but have decided to replace the sprag clutch. Pulled off the 'Yamaha Cover' and noticed some small cracks around the base - see very average, out of focus photo. Should I replace the cover?

leigh · leigh

Mine has about 2mm of play in it. Gives a slight clunk when on the bike stand and I lift the swing arm. Can't see it move. I can feel it if I put my fingers around it. Should it have zero play up and down? Cheers Leigh.

hello Since I bought my bike 3 month ago I have the issue with grey smoke (not very much but still) while over 1/3 throttle and while deaccelerating after full throttel even more. In addition to that it is using a lot of oil about 200-300ml (not sure exactly) for 100km. Even making it lean doesn't help so...

i weigh 12 stone and ride mostly on road, is there a recommended suspension setting? if not what is the best method of achieving the perfect balance? i guess a special (shock) pump will be required for the front fork spring rate?

Ok, so vice grips, torch, and every other technique did not work. Here is a pic of the aftermath, now the bottom stud hole broke on the bottom side is there any way to have this welded, drilled and tapped?

My TTR oil plug was a NIGHTMARE to get out. When the dust all settled it was ruined. I hate the soft metal it was made from so I bought a plug at my auto store. It was really nice, solid steel and 17mm BUT it was about a 1/4inch longer. I was concerned about the extra length (thats what she said) hitting somethi...
