It would be good to find a car areosol that matched the purple OE frame paint fairly closely. Anyone managed to find one please? I think I may have found a car aerosol to match the blue metallic frames but will let you know when I have tried it Brian

I have just converted my 1997 TTR250 to a "Supermoto" .... It was relatively straightforward and CHEAP, once I figured out which wheels to use!For the rear, I fitted a DT125X (17" x 3.5"), which more or less bolted straight on! All it required was a slight modification to the TTR...

The tank I used here was in very good shape and I probably could have used some of the smaller and cheaper D&D tank decals but, having started to use an Enjoy Mfg decal kit on the rear mudguard, I was kinda bound in to them for the tank. I hadn't prepared properly and there was still petrol in the tank so t...

Well owners have been waiting ages for the latest batch of 6 kits and we have had a bit of a disaster The machinist has started (at last) to work on the barrels and has found 2 of them have not been cast correctly, this means we will only have 4 kits available. I will be emailing all 6 owners, to see if anyone w...

If I didn't take it, it was off to the tip. Far too good to just throw it away, so I took it and got it out of the weather. Wasps had taken over as the top of this insect motel's food chain. I removed all of the plastics, what remained of the seat (I think it may have been sheep food), and the engine came out. Th...

Some of you may have realised by now, there is talk of a 350 kit becoming available. There has been some really hard work done by a fellow TTR nut, to see if it could work. Measurements have been taken, suppliers and manufactures have been approached and it would seem it is a feasible project. The seed fo...

Hey guys, I’ve recently bought a yamaha TTR250 1994 and i’m hoping on turning it into a track bike. Ive chose the TTR due to the fact they are more reliable then motocross bikes, and still have a decent enough power. Im thinking of putting plastics from a 1994 Yz250 on it and taking off the headlamp but i wa...

Greetings to all. I am in the parts gathering and planning stage of retrofitting my 2021 Xt250 with 1999-2006 Ttr250 US market suspension. I have a complete front end, and rebuildable rear shock. I am in search of the swingarm length. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Well, a new bike isn't in the future, so thinking about upgrading parts of the TTR. Are exhaust mods worth the price? Do you get real performance gains, or is it just noise? Looking at the shorty header from totallyttrs, and a new either FMF or Pro Circuit silencer.

Has anyone shoe-horned a non-typical powerplant into the TTR frame? Dropped a TTR engine in something non-trailbike? Anything bizarre out there? Just curious. TYIA!

Howdy, Just joined and wanted a place to follow my bike. I had previous to me a 2001 TTR-225 and to be honest I loved it minus its lack of suspension. Wasnt fast but stone dead reliable in the woods.

Hi All, Thought I'd share a few pictures of the journey of my TT-R. It's a rebuilt bike by a friend of mine, I beleive the frame is from an 04 and the engine a 99 or vice versa.

Following the burst rear shock ordeal on the Welsh TET last month, stripping down the rear end to get the shock out got a bit out of hand!
