Just a quick tip for when you are doing a spot of TTR maintenance. Check that the one way valves are working. I have just put a carb back on a TTR I am working on and thought I would check them - both were blocked! Not unusual in my experience. Just pop them off and check you can blow down through but that when y...

Hi, I'm in the process of overhauling a new to me 94 ttr250. I fix one thing and find more stuff to fix and I can't let these things go... I'll get to the end of the list soon ;) Anyway, brakes... my front brakes are very poor. They feel spongy and the lever goes to the bar. It doesn't feel like it's losing press...

hi all I noticed recently whilst doing some work on the bike that when I turn the engine over manually(either by turning rear wheel or by turning flywheel bolt with a socket) that the starter motor turns aswell. my understanding is that the sprag clutch is there to stop the engine from turning the start...

I just got some wheel bearing today, I went to change them after work.

I can't remove the spacer and I can't progress any further until it is gone. How can I remove the...

Just purchased a 2000 TTR 250 and has air box and exhuast "mods". The air box I can repair, the exhuast is empty, as in there is nothing inside the can, and the end cap is just the chrome peice with the 1.5 in. hole. I need to have it USFS approved to ride forest service roads and trails. What was in...

Iain's TTR as developed a clinking sound on the mono shock on rebound only? We checked all the bushes and can feel no movement. It doesn't make a sound when pressing down, only a click on return? Just wondered if anybody else had this problem. Otherwise both bikes running well.

Hello, I have just installed the petrol tap/ petc0ck rebuild kit to find that the tap is now incredibly difficult to turn. I can just about move it with my fingers and it's easier with pliers. Should I have used some sort of grease on the new rubber seal I installed? Or will it get a bit easier with use? Th...

I have a 2004 TTR 250. Right in front of the head cover there is a hole. When warm there is oil that kinda percolates out and drips on the exhaust and smokes.

Having just rebuilt my TTr top end it all runs but only in neutral , as soon as I put it in gear the engine cuts - it won't restart or even turnover except in neutral - so how should I eliminate the problems to find the source??

A couple of weeks ago I left the bike idling on full choke for a couple of minutes and left it running. I came back to see the battery box smoking.
