Thanks for welcoming me to the group I recently picked up a 1999 from a co-worker of mine. From my knowledge the bike has sat outside exposed to the elements of the harsh Texas seasons for over 4 years. Anxious to see what condition it was really in so the next day I brought it home and did nothing more than d...

Its amazing how much cheaper you can get a bike when someone doesn't take the time to just clean it up. Below is my before, mid and after cleanup.

Hi I have a 1990 Japanese xt 225 Serrow import. This bike is very similar to the Ttr225 . My question is anyone know which parts are interchangeable ?. I am looking for a lower chain roller . Ordered one of net for 1992 Serrow hoping it would be the same but no luck. I can't seem to find one for a 1990 Serrow ....

Hi everyone. I bought a 2002 model last year in complete pieces (engine the lot) and am just about to fire it up. All I need is to set the valves and the shims were missing. I had the head reconditioned but I would like to know what valve shim specs everyone is running so I can set the valve clearances as a star...

DAY 1 So, I got my hands on a CRM 250. What do I do with the old Yam? Blow money on it of course! So, the top shock bushes are worn out, and the shock no long does any absorbing, all the oil and gas has seeped out and gone. The engine is burning oil as well as leaking oil from every gasket.

Hi all here. I ordered parts and a coworker agreed to ask his son to help with transport.

A long tear down, parts cleaning, and reassemblin...

As the frame on the OE is in a poor state I have decided to tear the bike apart once the salt etc has gone from the roads, I can then use the Tuono daily. I am thinking of doing the frame gloss black and maybe the same with the swing arm also. The main concern I have are the nuts/studs which hold the header pipe on...

Thought i'd start a thread of stripping the TTR down to get the frame powder coated, think it will be easier to keep all the related posts in one thread. It seemed to run slightly rough on idle so this morning i thought i'd give the carb a clean out to see if this was the problem and i'd like it running well bef...

cosmetically, the only damage that bugs me on my 06 ttr250 is that the front fender has some very noticeable deep scratches and wipe out grinds in it.

So I just bought a 2002 TTR250 and its leaking gas due to cracks. I can JB weld the tank but I am also looking for options on buying a new tank.
