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. The result was an approximately two inch hole melted on the edge of the cover. I thought that this was down to me leaving the bike on idle too long but now I'm not so s...

Evening all, Just a quick query ref. clutch cables. Does anyone happen to know of a decent replacement cable that not going to cost the same as Yamaha want to charge.......£40 Would a better alternative be to get a universal repair kit and hope the bit fit? Phil

Hi, Lately I've aquired this nice bike for good price. Unfortunatelly a good price usually has some price :). Most of the back frame brackets has been shaved.

Hey guys and gals, I'm Ian a new member. I have just bought a 2003 TTR250 and already the speedo sender has crapped out( No problem, going to fit a electronic 1).

Hi anyone know if there's a certain way of taking the rear pegs off ?. There's some kind of spring washer on them . I tried removing them but they will only turn as far as the peg will allow before it catches the frame. I think they may be seized solid. Thanks

Hi guys,Finally got a chance to take my ttr out for the first time properly yesterday.

I realise this is not a simple question but the reason I ask is this, I'm not...

Hello everybody, first post here. I have just bought my first TTR250 with the intention of touring around Australia on it.

Hi, Is this normal? The bike is a 09 model and I have not rode it for 3 months. I just put a new battery in it and everything is fine with the electrics except I can't remember if this is normal and maybe I should be digging a bit deeper. Many thanks, Matt

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a torque wrench for the bike? I've got some vouchers for Amazon and will only be able to get a cheapish one. I think I'll need a 3/8" drive with about 5-25Nm torque or so. Can anyone recommend a good brand? It would come in handy for the car too. Thanks, Dave....
