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....

I've been out today and every time I look at water it cuts out. the carb breathers are just t...

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. I'm going to be installing a tusk dual sport kit in the near future and doing the air box and pipe mods. I'm just wondering what the differences are between the...

Is this normal ? or has the wrong size fuel tap been fitted by the previous owner maybe ? if this is normal what size replacement fuel pipe shou...

Hi, I wonder if anyone could help.

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. In the UK, a filter may go without needing cleaning for the winter but, when things dry up and dust and debris (bits of leaves and twi...

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.

Hi, There are many kinds of FMF PowerCore 4 exhaust systems, and I am confused as to which one would be the best fit for my 1996 TTR 250. It would be great if you could provide me with an exact reference number or part number. The prices range from $150 to $250 but they all look the same to me! Thank you for your...

Every time I go out for a ride, when back home I have to physically take the side panel off and take air box cover off and drain loads of water out, I thought it had a draining system?

Hey guys, I have a ttr-250 and have noticed that my fuel tank has a crack in the top of it after it started leaking when I filled her up.
