Well, I am considering swapping the rear suspension and swing arms on my Raid and my standard TTR. I understand that the aluminum swing arm has a longer bolt. Not sure just which bolt. Since I would be swapping them I don't see this as much of a problem. Besides being lighter, are there any other bene...

I bought a TTR a while ago that had been standing unused and unloved in salty sea air next to the Somerset coast for over 10 years. It certainly showed all the signs of neglect as you will see from the photos! All the plating has eroded leaving the fasteners rusty and, I am guessing, nicely seized into posi...

Having read Punkawalla's thread, I decided to do the conversion. We live about 1/2 mile down a bridle path which is pretty rough, and I am a retained firefighter, so sometimes I have to travel down the lane a little more rapidly than is healthy for normal 4 wheeled vehicles. So thought a trail bike would...

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...
