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...

Very well done dude! And here I thought I was anal lol.... Don't make me strip my bike back down again to start painting stuff! On another note, I'm thinking a valve job might be in my near future. Had a lot of carbon deposits on the intake side. I dosed it the valves with seafoam and let it soak, then scrubbe...

Hi all, I have been presented with the problem of having to take both a van and the TTR home for Christmas. I can't do the trailer bit because I have no space or tow ball and I have found an awesome tow ball rack that will carry a dirt bike but again no tow ball. Long story short I have measured up and if I r...

After a collision with a tree (before my ownership) what I believe is called the clutch perch is held on by a wing and a prayer, and a bit of gaffer tape. The lever is fine, it's just the bit which clamps around the bars and holds the mirror. The lug which holds the mirror is broken and the whole assembly is pr...

Ok, I know there could maybe be many reasons for this but I will just get a few opinions in because at the moment I don't really have time to look at this but its bugging me!

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...

I'm after a spare gear change lever as back up. Not seen them come up on ebay for quite a while, but I guess there must be other levers with roughly the same length, and with the same spline. Anyone got any info? Cheers Lee
