Interesting video. The guy (can't find his name) has built his own powder coating setup very cheaply and, in this video, coats some TTR parts including the barrel from a 350 kit

Hi there, has anyone noticed during a rebuild that there top two piston rings are positioned closer together than expected? I noticed this in both the 325 and 350 I split recently but 100% know the 350 was spot on with spacings some 200 miles ago? The 325 had had more miles on and were closely aligned. T...

Just for information when you hear that dreaded "Clunk" sound when you stop the engine and your fears of having to replace the Sprag Clutch, its not that harder job. The sound was getting louder and more often when the engine was stopped. 2001 model with 16000km, we are the 4-5 owners looking at the bik...

Hi all, got an issue with my blue tank speedo drive, yes the speedo does work but when the dike is in the air & I turn the front wheel backward it locks up, I removed the speedo drive & inspected, cleaned it up. the worm gear or pinion had end float & I believe this is causing the lockup. To me it s...

Hello! It seems that the coil lead on my ttr has some internal damage.Sometimes when unplugging and putting it back i get misfires. I have cut a few mm of the end of the lead and screwed the plug cap back in and it cured the problem.But i already had to do it twice now. Is it possible to remove the lead from the...

Dear all I am new to the forum, but post here as I hit a strange issue yesterday. I have fitted a TTR 250 engine in my daughters quad bike and have fitted a speeduino ECU and electronic fuel injection.

Just wanted to get an opinion from you guys... I need to put a clutch kit into my '06 TTR250. There are 2 on ebay that have caught my attention. One is Kevlar and the other is cork. Both are fairly close in price, just wondering on the pro's and cons of each. Also if you know of a cheaper or better kit I would app...

Hi guys, I took my 350 on the road and the clutch was slipping under hard acceleration. Everything set according to specs, EBC heavy duty discs and springs, OE six disc basket. The basket has slight notching though. I feel too much power is lost there. What could be the cause? Anyone with a 350 having the...

I was looking at the clutch diagram from the manual and noticed that part 11 in the photo does not exist (in the manual I have). The photo is from Brian's guide. Is this part for the blue or OE TTRs only? What if it is missing, would it cause a problem? -- Edited by Christos on Friday 8th of July 2022 01:01:10 P...

How long should a chain slider last under normal conditions? I'm referring to the slider near the front spoket. Mine seems to be eating away way too soon, and the chain tension is correct, what other factors can affect this?

Hey guys, How often do you check valve clearance? The manual says every 2000 km, isn't that a rather narrow interval?

Hi there, I just finished the 350 rebuild a few weeks ago and took it out for a spin for 15 miles and decided the jetting was too far out. I adjusted to 147 50 bottom clip starts fine, however the down pipe started glowing and therefore running lean. I checked my timing thinking it may be slightly off and i...

My 1995 model was running great when I did a 200 km ride 3 weeks ago, now it won’t start. I checked spark and compression to find only 65psi. Have checked carby and valve seating plus piston and rings but found nothing apparently wrong. Now out of ideas. ian, Australia

Has anyone ever fitted grease nipple to the suspension linkage ? My xr600 has them and they make looking after the linkage so much easier .
