Hi, is there a particular type of grease that should be used to lubricate the wheel spindles ( are they called this, the shafts that come out to take the wheels off )? When repairing a puncture "in the field" it was pointed out to me that they shouldn't be dry so I thought I'd check if there was a c...

Hi Guys, I am swapping out my standard 14 tooth front sprocket for a 13 tooth one and noticed (as shown in pics) the current one seems to have rubber on both sides that the new one doesn't. Is this something I need to mount on the new one???? Or just an option that is not really necessary?? Thanks, Michae...

Hi All Firstly, although this isn't a ttr related problem, I'm hoping an electrical wizard will be able to help me figure out where I am going wrong! My DR350 got stolen a few weeks back. By some miracle the police managed to recover it after seeing some kids wheeling it about outside a travellers site....

Time for me to ask the dumb question, I brought a FMF Q4 silencer (not sure why now) it was a bit noisy but I fitted a piece of perforated stainless pipe with a blanked off end inside the back of the silencer and it works fine but I suspect I need to change the carb settings (although the bike runs ok). Any ide...

I went to adjust my needle and I realized the washer with the locking tab that sits below the needle clip is missing Is this a universal part? It must be a specific thickness because it holds up the needle im guessing. In THIS diagram, it's the part just below the needle in section 6. It is sitting right...

Hi. The previous owner of my bike had the tank re-sprayed to a good standard, however he tried to apply the 'standard' TTR stickers to each side and it didn't go so well!

Hello, My 2004 ttr has developed a rattle. Its actually more of a jingle that happens when the engine is not under load. I wondered if it could be the clutch plates having worn tabs but any thoughts would be welcome before dismantling anything. Thanks Alex

Hi all I had a quick look to see if I could find a guide to removing a rear shock but couldn't find one on here. Am I missing it or if there isn't one could anyone offer some advice or pictures if you have any? I'm sending it off to Justin Gibbs, as recommended elsewhere on this forum. Thanks Scott

After my first ever day out trail riding I was coming back along the main road and the bike all of a sudden lost power like it does when you run out of fuel. It then picked up and then did it again, so I switched the bike to reserve thinking I was running out of fuel. However this continued until I stopped at tra...

My bike was running rough and lacked power so it was time to sort it. When I bought the bike it always felt like it was not running properly although Ive not had it long.

Hi Guys, Need to loosen my rear axle nut to adjust my chain and the biggest socket I have is 21mm which is to small. I am about to head out to buy a bigger one and was hoping someone can confirm the size for me, it looks a 23mm would do it. Thanks, Michael
