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. Now I realise its only a 250 and its most definitely not built for speed but what sort of speed should I be able to expect from my bike as standard? 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. Having just arrived back in the country, and still being used to european bike prices, I may have gone a little too cheap on the bike I bought. And particularly I think I wasn't obse...

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

Hi all As title says does anyone know the part number of the chain case, this is what the yamaha manual calls it but I would call it achain guard. Also, where is the best place to order parts for the older bikes if you want a genuine item ? thanks Steve

Hi All, As Brian (The TTR Oracle) is well aware, I got myself a 2004 TTR250 lately, well I say a TTR, what I actually purchased was an engine in a frame and an awful lot of parts! Anyway's, I digress, my question is this; When refitting the linkages and the swingarm, what is the easiest/correct order to d...

A fellow locally, has a 1998 KLR250 that he's completely parting out. It's street legal. As I'm planning on making mine street legal, I'm wondering what I could get from this machine. I am getting the Tusk DS kit, but it doesn't include the speedo and front brake switch. So I'll definitely be grabbing t...

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....

Hi everybody! I just joined the forum. I picked up my 2006 ttr250r a couple weeks ago and it's in excellent shape. Still has original tires on it.

Although it is second nature to experienced dirt bikers, it is not always obvious to new owners that air filters need to be checked and occasionally cleaned and re-oiled.

I had to get a stand for the TTR as my paddock stand wasn't that handy for it. I bought a kick stand from ghost Mc's for £28. I knew it wouldn't fit underneath so I made a couple of pads to go under the wheels from ply and 2x1. It works a treat even with my shot back. All in all a good, well made piece of kit.
