Pretty much all of the powder coat has chipped off my outer engine casings, and was wondering if this could be a symptom of something more serious, like overheating or fatigue? If I cleaned and polished up the alloy would it be durable enough for the vigors of offroading, or am I going to need to paint/po...

Hi all I have a blue 02. It won't start on the kick starter. It will return when I kick it & I can hear whirling inside but there is no great resistance when I kick. Is it engaging? Is it slipping? How does it work? Where should I look for further info? (I've had a look at the FAQ but that's for installing a k...

He observed that that my control would improve with a firmer front end. He said that at the Yam School they had some discs of 10mm thickness machi...

I bought this TTR from a mate, for £450, and since getting it home I have found a few faults and noticed missing parts. (Didn't stop me from taking it out and getting it dirty though) It's pretty hard to start due to the long throw of the kickstart lever, or possibly even low compression. It needs to be jus...

There have been a number of on-forum and offline queries about smoking engines in the last few days so I thought it might be worth putting my thoughts down here for you guys either to shoot down in flames or improve upon If the smoke is the only symptom and the engine isn’t rattling then there is a very goo...
