I am frequently asked about what after-market exhaust is best for the TTR. The requirement seems to be that it is light, reasonably quiet and sensibly priced.

HI I am experiencing some fuelling problems on my 02 ttr250r. What happens is when going at about 100kms pr for a couple of km the bike runs out of fuel in the carb, slows down and stops for a half min or so and it will fire up and run again. It does not do this at lower speeds. The same happens when pulling up...

Unlike the originals, the after-market shims are in intervals of .005mm or is that 0.05…. but that is usually sufficient to get the clearance within specification.The TTR shims are 9.48mm in diameter and these guys do them for £2.85 each inc. p&p - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VALVE-SHIMS-CRF-R...
