Hi everyone...new to TTR forum, go easy on me! :) Riding the TTR250 the other day I was going full throttle then it died and sputtered to a stop. I noticed right away the battery was smoking and was EXTREMELY hot to the touch. I got away from it to give it time to cool down...acid explosions are not fun. 2...

My 05 ttr 250 makes an awful clunking noise when it cranks and often repeats it when I shut it off. Anyone have this happen before that can tell me what to replace?

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?

Stopped on a ride today and noticed there was no rear chain block/guide/stay fingy. Bolts up at the rear of the swingarm. Am I tempting death by running without it, does anyone have one in Orstraya mate. There is one in the USA on Ebay for around $37Au delivered but prefer to keep things local, if anyone...

It was running great before it starte...

My 2003 bike starts fine and ticks over OK and it also pulls well when accellerating however at constant village speeds it feels like it may cut out and stutters a bit. When this happens if I open the throttle it will suddenly accelerate almost like an on/off switch, not smoothly at all. It can be lived wi...

I am due to take my TTR for its MOT.

Hi All, Am in the process of doing some work on the TTR belonging to my other half, one of the things I have done is put an airbox back on it as it had a K+N cone filter, which to my mind for trailriding is far from ideal!

I get quite a lot of butchered looms, switches, etc, which require repairs and, inevitably, joining of wires!

Hello, As I've mentioned before I've got an after market head light, there is a bolt hole at the bottom but no bracket to bolt it too, would be okay for mot reason to cable tie to bottom yolk as security and use locking bolts to secure the head light to the bracket on the forks.
