This sounds like a daft question but how the hell do I get the front sprocket cover off? Can't seem to get mine off. If you got a manual picture would be helpful

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! Basically when the bike has been left for over two days its s right struggle to start, just spins over and eventually fires up as long a...

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...

Are the exhausts for the earlier white bikes the same as those fitted to the later blue bikes? I have a 2002 bike which has a non standard silencer which is annoyingly loud on the tarmac between the lanes and just want to know which ones I can look out for on ebay. I know they don`t come up very often. I may hav...

Ok. This is what happened. I got the TTR home. Took a short test ride. Did not have patience to warm up properly. Stalled the engine couple of times. Plug fouled and the engine refused to start. Rolled to garage. I replaced the plug. Good spark. Still wont start. Puffs and spits to carb. Removed airbox. C...

The bike has been cutting out in what I would call not to deep water..I have had it in much deeper water that this many times and with no probs.

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

Hi. I have just picked up a 1997 TT250R Open Enduro. It runs but is not in the best state of repair. I have done the basics ie oil, air filter, oil and plug.

Hi all, I'm fairly new to off road riding. My TTR is fitted with AC10 Michelins, and I don't ride it far on the road, its nearly all off road stuff. Could anyone give me a guide to the pressures I should be running? Cheers Lee

I picked my engine stand up from the powder coaters today and it's looking good. Made from a redundant frame and some box profile it will make working on engines out of the frame a lot easier Just need a couple of lengths of rod to slot in to the engine bolt locations to hold the engine and I will be away!

Hi chaps, Is anyone familiar with brazing fuel tanks? I'm going to attempt this on my OE tank, as I wanted something a little more permanent than an adhesive filler. Apart from the obvious 'make sure there is no explosive residue' are there any important steps to follow? I didn't want to weld the tank at...

I have a 1993 TTR250 OE, has all the normal things done but i would like a bit more noise as i ride mainly in traffic at the moment. Is there any information on baffle modification in the standard muffler, to get a bit more thump out of the old beast.

BaronGreenback · BaronGreenback

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?
