Hi all, i have a white ttr and and i will need to rebuild the engine.

gday guys, just thought i would ask people what options i have for adding a better exhaust system to the TTR250. I have a 2011 model, and noticed that there are lots of FMF exhausts on ebay, but they all say they fit models up to 2006. will these fit the 2011 model also? If so, what can i expect from an exhaust...

Hello again, ok i have owned my ttr250 for 3 1/2 years and i just want to know something, When i blip the throttle really fast when idling it bogs, Is this a normal occurance? or it is the jetting, It has a standard 147 main jet (aussie) and 52.5 pilot jet, and a Fmf powercore 4 exhaust, it seems to be running r...

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

Hi Don't suppose anyone knows the intervals for a oil and filter change on a TTR air cooled 2003 model? Also the capacity of engine oil it holds ? Any help would be great :) Thanks Dan

A friend wants to know if anyone knows how to lower the TTR 3-4". He has installed a Kubalink, but this device seems to have lowered it less than an inch.

A new year, but a few jobs were required to get the bike fit for use. First off was a filter and oil change. I bought a 5 litre bottle of Motul 5100 semi synthetc ester oil 10w-40 and got 10% TRF discount also. I know 5 litres is a tad much and the oil is considered too good for TTRs, but it's exactly what I use in t...

Why???? If I turn it back slightly it comes on but then if I go over a bump it goes out!!...

Hey everyone I was just wondering if someone would be kind enough to explain how the jetting works, and how to rejet. I have a blue 2000 ttr with what I asume to be stock jets. I have installed an aftermarket exhaust and I think it's running a bit rich. How ever I have no clue about jetting. Thanks Aidan

Hi all, had my first big blast on new bike, and just wondering how my old raid compares to other TTR's out there, now I took it over Exmoor and up Porlock Hill (steep and a little cheeky if your not familiar with it) and made it up and down without issue. I have to work the box a lot more than any other bike I've h...

In an effort to quiet down my after-market exhaust system, I have inserted a copper grill scrubber into the end of the muffler. I was also hoping to reduce the flow and help the bike run a little smoother. (She seems to prefer to run with the choke on a bit.) If the bike is not running poorly with this add...

My side stand can be a real pain to kick down/up again. I've dismantled the linkage, greased it and nipped it back up. It continues to misbehave! Seems it needs a bearing or something for it to work properly, don't have this problem on my DRZ or CBR600, or any other bike I've owned. Ideas please?
