A forum for owners of Yamaha TTR250 trail and enduro bikes!

davecambo · davecambo

im mainly doing trail riding now so i was wondering if you need to keep the batttery. it would save some weight if it wasnt there, and kick starting a ttr is easy. would it be worth removing it, if so what else could i remove from the electric start system to keep the weight down.

Hey all, I have a sneaky feeling from reading througth the forums that I have totally worn out the clutch on the bike but wanted to get some more opinions before I take it to my mechanic.

Just started to refurbish a blue TTR and stripped out the swing arm this morning as there was quite a bit of play. Once out it was fairly obvious why! Experienced owners will know to keep an eye on the chain slider and replace it before the front bottom section by the sprocket wears through but I have poste...

Well I thought my bike was running rich as the spark plug has a sooty black appearance. ( not shinny black) However I read that if ur exhaust makes a popping sound it's lean.. My exhaust makes this on deseleration. ( i always thought this was maybe a bit of extra fuel burning). Any ideas?? The exhaust is an...

I have just re-assemblyed my TTR raid, after replacing the piston rings. When replacing the cam shafts, as soon as I tighten up the bolts the cam shafts become too tight to turn by hand.

I have just started to run 95RON as apposed to 91RON Unleaded in my 97OE, the bike certainly runs better and cleaner i.e. no soot, but has been difficult to start electrically when cold. I don't have a hope in hell of kick starting it. Could this be the fuel or has something else eventuated?
