I have a 05 ttr 250, it seems to be using far too much fuel hitting reserve at between 60 and 70 miles, it dies horribly at about 65mph in sixth gear as well, symptoms are very much like its running out of fuel at high speed although i think it may be a case of too much fuel is going into the cylinder. Other than...

Hi, The pictures below show the bolt that has broken. Has anybody seen this before and what is the best way to fix it? I was putting on my new disk that I just got from Brian and I snapped of the bolt. I have gave my torque wrench to my Dad and was to eager. Thank you, [IMG]https://i996.photobucket.com/alb...

Hi All, The engine has been coming along nicely this weekend until I set up the cam timing. Firstly on the automatic tensioner someone has put a blob of weld on - any ideas? After setting the timing I was turning the engine over on the flywheel nut, turning the engine over forwards ( so anti-clockwise) f...

So my tail light doesn't work at all. Doesn't start with the bike ignition, when the key is turned, brake depressed...etc, etc, it doesn't start. I thought it might be the bulb but now I do not think it is (Not browned, so not blown?) plus finding the weird bulb it takes would be to much time for it to not be t...

well my rear brake pedal pin has sheared at top the thread so no hope of bolting a quick fix in there, got about 6 or 7 cable ties lashed to it and and seems to hold, just wondering how I'd carrying the repair out as not easy access really stumped, and rear wheel bearings have gone would they make a clunking so...

I was thinking of trying to source a spare rear wheel with a view to having two different tyres available but with only requiring a rear wheel change. Theres a possibility of aquiring, free of charge, a spare wheel from a WR200 bike but would it fit? That got me thinking, what other wheels if any would fit...

Afternoon all, My TTR goes "clunk" when the engine's stopped. It's a 2004 model, done about 6000 miles, mostly on trails. I've had it a year, and honsetly can't remember if it's always made this noise. I only noticed the "clunk" after reading about it on here. So should I be worri...

Hi All Before I start stripping bits off the bike I thought I would ask As the title suggests it's running a bit rough in the bottom of the rev range No problem starting, stopping, no backfires or starving, it's all good, just a bit rough I figured just strip the carb and give it a clean out and maybe reset th...

Hi, I've seen some scary looking stuff posted on some other forums of LARGE bits of engine caught in sump screens which made me wonder if TTR even have one, in addition to the filter? Did the requisite oil/filter change when I got the bike but you never know how it may have been looked after. Happy Holida...

Had a search but can't find the answer. What size fuse should be in a Raid? It has 20A in the holder but the spare is a 15A? Also the afermarket headlamp wires have fused themselves together. If anyone has a yam raid headlamp for sale let me know. Cheers Spud.

My 93 TTR has always been able to start on the button whilst in gear. Then last week I decided as a bit of routine maintenance to spray wd40 in every electrical connector I could find. Now the bike only starts if you put it into neutral. What is the norm on these bikes? I've either unwittingly repaired i...

Hi all, I have been presented with the problem of having to take both a van and the TTR home for Christmas.

Long story short I have measured up and if I r...

I came across a YZ 250 with a blown engine. I can get it for $500. Does anyone know if the TTR 250 motor would fit. I'm thinking the TTR engine reliability + the YZ suspension (with the aliminum frame - 40-50lbs lighter) would be a great bike. Anyone know if it will work. Brian your thoughts would be appr...

I just got my ttr 250, don't know tons, but I am a bit savvy to mechanics. So I picked up Penzoil Outdoor (For smaller engines) motercycle engine oil. 20W-50. Is this type of oil recommended? Will it "Work"?

I have been looking through the parts diagrams for my '04 US-spec TTR & am unable to find the tool kit (mentioned in the AU manual I have) which leads me to belive that the bikes didn't come with a kit as they were not sold as street-legal machines here. But I would like to carry some tools & since I s...
