The Resurrection of an Unloved Motorcycle has started. The bike has been entombed in my basement for years and after a quick dust-off and preliminary inspection I discovered that it's in remarkably good condition. For background information: https://ttr250.activeboard.com/t65315848/new...

Thought it was time to put up a build thread on my TTR. I got it as a low km tidy stocker with a GYTR pipe.. I bought purely as a trail bike for my then teenage kids to ride in the bush. I had recently downsized from a series of 250 2 strokes and 400's / 450's to my first Yamaha, a WR250F. 250 four strokes a...

So here we are after 8 years. As you can see it's nearly finished as I've put the tank rubbers on now. Actually a forum member who's name will be secret in case he gets inundated with jobs built the engine up for me. [img]https://i.imgur.com/zU2KcL...

Recent projects and restorations on other forums have stirred my project juices and so I am going to have a go. The idea is to see whether I can update an eBlag purchase economically to make it look like the later blue plastic-tanked TTRs. This will mean changing the frame colour to blue or black (as use...

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.
