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...

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...

Hi all , I had a split in my fuel line and when I removed it I noticed that the fuel tap outlet tube was considerably bigger than the carb fuel inlet tube . 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...

Hey I have another question about my new bike Love every aspect of it except the turning. It's got a kouba lowering link in it. Suits me great height wise.

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.

Does anyone happen to know what the output is from the generator (blue tank model if it makes any difference)? Got the wife a heated jacket for Xmas and wondered if the TTR could power it so she can commute on it instead if her BMW which I have in many pieces at present! It pulls 77W apparently. Simon

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? I noticed a gap between the seat and mudguard and can see where water gets in, I can't understand why the snorkel faces toward...
