Hi Just purchased a OE TTR 250, do not have a service book, or anything to know how to release the seat or the battery location. If I may have some help please, do not want to force the seat, and guessing the battery is located under there. Is there a service manuel I can download please. Thanks Paul...

Hi All, Having had no problems with starting for the first few months my 2004 TTR 250 is now a reluctant starter. If I start on choke then doesn't like to be left on it for anything more than a minute before cutting out. Today was made worse because I had flat battery and had to kick start it. After sever...

I was out riding dirt about a week ago and I took a hill a little too steep for me. My boot slipped off the edge of the hill (small trail) and I tumbled down the edge, dropping the bike. I was fine but when I lifted my bike back upright I noticed that the gear shift lever had broken (right at the point where the le...

hi guys. Recently I have observed oil leak from a bolt (see pic.), although it is tightly screwed. I guess this bolt is for the oil pressure. Any ideas what to do? Have anyone else the same problem? Thanks

So i'm still trying to fix my friend's ttr 250 after it sat for 2 years outside. Before that the bike ran fine so I decided to tear down the carb to find it filthy.

Hi all, The top and bottom mounting points of the rear shock use spherical bearings. How do you grease these? The Yamaha workshop manual says that the linkage bearings are polylube type that never need regreasing. Does this include the shock mounting spherical bolts? Is this still true after eight y...
