This is a bit of a long story, but hopefully someone can see what I am missing…… Two years ago, I was given a 2006 TTR250 for use as an instructor at an off road school. It was a perfect bike spending 50+ hours a week teaching novices to ride - competent at everything and comfortable for my old bones! The bik...

My cam chain sounds like it's become loose (clattering, not as crisp as before). Is there a thread about checking the automatic tensioner? Can anyone advise me on this? Thanks

Evening, Has anyone used a different cage/support for their air filter. I have a 93 OE Not keen on spending the £50 for an original Yamaha one. I have seen some plastic cages on the internet but I'm not sure of these are for a Blue TTR? Anyone out there with a Open Enduro using a different cage?

Having fitted the 50mm lowering link I’ve come to the conclusion the stand now needs shortening, anyone who’s done this how much did you shorten it by, I’m thinking that as the bike had a tendency to lean quite a lot as standard maybe removing 25mm would suffice rather that 50mm, if I put some 25mm pieces...

A mot question, was wondering if anyone had come across. Fork seals are generally covered by rubber gaitors and hidden, to inspect them the tester would have to release the clip to do this. Never had an issue but never known a tester to do this, looks like the seals are overlooked

Hey peeps Finally had time for a proper ride. I've been moving house for the last month or so. So I got Teknik in NSW Australia to sort the suspension on my TTR.

I recently changed the engine gaskets on my 350. When I pull the clutch upshifting or downshifting and pulling the throttle again there is hesitation and once the engine died.

Hey peeps So, a few years ago my TTR started leaking from the base gasket. I stripped the motor and replaced it, it started leaking again after around 4000klms or so. When pulling the original gasket off you could see it had a split or maybe had been pinched on install. I wasn't that happy with the prep I d...

Good evening, Looking for a bit of advice. After a ride I noticed a patch of oil on the exhaust side that had been seeping out. Checked the oil and all is fine there so its not losing a lot.

Hello all, A general question, how far dose the throttle slide have to move before contacting the accelerator pump lever arm. My slide is aprox 12mm open before reaching the arm which seems a bit much and defeats the object of a pump. Should I adjust the arm a little to make it open quicker. Cheers Bert.

Had a couple of hours spare so removed the muffler & engine pipe from the TTR, cleaned it up & gave it a polish. Was unsure if the gold colour would come back but after a short run it started to turn gold, looks heaps better, now if only the WRR pipe looked that good. I know there is no performance gai...

Hi folks. Does anyone know if this rubber insert is a standard part of the Raid chain guard? I'm guessing the 52t rear sprocket is the cause of the wear, but unsure if it's a sacrificial part. Cheers -- Edited by Smedders on Wednesday 15th of September 2021 01:58:38 PM
