Hey guys. I recently had my bike in at the shop and they told me my starter clutch is wearing that's why I have a clunk when starting. I asked for a quote on the parts new and there so expensive considering what they are. Has anyone got any wrecks/parts in Australia on here that can help me out???

Well gotta thank this awesome forum again, had a leaking rear shock so pulled it out and sent it off and rebuilt the carby while I was at it. What a difference that has made as well. Moved the clip a notch, new seals and diaphragm. So easy doing all the above once I read all the stuff on here. Just great. ...

Hi all, The front brake lever of my old TTR is broken, allowing to be actioned only by 2 fingers. Adding to that, it seized the fluid return 2-3 times. Is the full mechanism easy to find ? not very expensive ? (shipped worldwide, or at least to France), or should I still try to replace master cylinder with a...

Hi. I´m searching this, it is the screw where you bring in the new oil in the engine. Is this reference 90340-20143? is there another option for this part?

I was having a tidy up and came across a brand new black seat strap of the same design as the TTR seat straps but significantly shorter. It's 39cm long compared to the standard 55cm It is way too short for even a fully lowered OE seat so what could it be from? I know the Raid seats have seat straps and there w...

Noticed today when I had the bike at tdc the marks on the cam gear didn't line up flush with the head. See pic: does this mean the cam chains stretched? Thanks dave -- Edited by Truxx on Monday 18th of August 2014 08:24:06 PM

My speed is not working again. I am just about to fit another 3 prong washer from Brian but I think I have a part missing somewhere.

Does anyone know where I can get a new coil+lead+plug cap from in the UK? Brian doesn't seem to list them and I can't find one online. Alternative fitments also fine, doesn't need to be original just reliable. Thanks, Mark

G'day All, I've just realised my '94 Raid is a Japanese market machine. I read in the project lemon thread his bike has grease nipples on the swing arm pivots etc. I'm wondering if there are any other differences I should be aware of? Does this have the potential to make buying parts a nightmare?

I would be interested in other owners views on the foam lining on the TTR's side panels. On a dirtbike, the foam is a PITA. 1. It is difficult to clean properly without power washing it - which requires taking the panels off. 2. It stays wet after power washing creating a moist atmosphere around the frame...

Hi all. I'm currently in Laos on my way to Europe and I'm having problems with the carb. I've got a 2012 TTR250 with 16000kms.

Hello fellow TTR enthusiasts! It's been a while since I posted but I had a question about my bike. I'm not sure if this is normal, or if I should look into it, but when the bike is in gear (engine off), there is about 1/4 - 1/2 a turn of slack at the drive sprocket before it is stopped by the stopped engine. This...

G'day All, I'm in the process of prepping my '94 Raid for a frame paintwork freshen up and noticed the left hand footpeg mount is welded to the frame and the right hand one is bolted on. Is this how they come from the factory? Maybe a silly question.......................thanks!

Having been caught out by losing a split link on the trail a few weeks ago, I only just remembered to pack a new one in my tank bag before a trail ride on Tuesday. I find that the side plate is always a tight fit on the pins making it difficult to fit without a press when out riding so I always modify the spare I ca...
