hi all, i just finished putting on the 47 tooth rear sprocket. already had a 13 on the front. took her for a spin round the block and initialy thought that it may be too short in 1st gear. Any thoughts? reason i put the 47 on was too high top speed. wanted to reduce it a bit and gain more response down low. would...

Hi all, just doing an oil change and found the large 'o' ring around the filter housing has snapped, but can I find a replacement?, the two smaller ones have seen better days as well, but might be able to get these a little easier. Where have (has anyone) people go replacement ones from? or it is worth just...

Hello all, My newly acquired TTR will be going in for an MoT test next week, but I have one question.

Hi folks. Hosed down after a ride a few weeks ago, put the bike away. Today, no start on the button or kick. Turn over but no fire. I have power, checked the spark, checked fuel is flowing, drained fuel from carb, checked airbox is dry. Removed tank to get at all the electrical connections. Gave them a...

Hi I'm in need of a bashplate and have access to some good fabrication facilities at work. Would any of you be so kind as to take a photo / produce a quick sketch with the key dimensions so I can get one fabricated. I could of course take some measurements myself but thought it better to use a trusted design :...

hey guys, i got to 200km and changed the oil on my new 2011 TTR. it was very black. i then put spare full synthetic oil i use in my ducati 1100 in the TTR, but have since remembered that this may not be recommended for a new bike like my TTR as it hasnt finished breaking in. I read this is because of glazing in the...

i think this has been asked already but are there any differences between the 2006 TTR and the 2011 TTR exhaust wise. I have made up my mind and am buying a FMF exhaust, but the company only lists them for models up to 2006. I think this is due to Aus and NZ being the only countries to keep producing them? Obvi...

Has anybody seen a yoshimura RS 3 full system exhaust fitted on a ttr before, if any body has an experience with it or if there is a full system that is better for the ttr, I don't mind if it was little bit loud. -- Edited by Abbas on Saturday 7th of January 2012 01:30:43 PM

Why run around with a bare rear suspension reservoir? If you loosen the hose clips and free the reservoir you CAN wrap a cover round it. You CAN also drink the contents before cutting the CAN as required.

Now I have seen a rather fancy all singing and dancing Bash plate/ sump guard on recent trip to TTR Towers, but wondered if any other guards fit (have seen an XT500 guard going cheap) has anyone had any joy with other OEM gaurds fitting, or being easily adapted? Piccies always a bonus.

I seem to be dribbling oil out from near the starter motor on my white raid model, is there a common failure point somewhere round there? It's not the output shaft seal. There's no severe bang from the sprag clutch when i stop the bike. Hope someone can advise! Thanks Mark
