I am in the process of attempting to make my 2001 TTR street legal. Being a novice when it comes to electronics I thought I would ask for your help. I bought a hydraulic brake switch (for the rear brake). The original taillight has 3 wires blue, black, and yellow. The tusk wiring diagram was not much help....

This is the start stripping and prepping, I don't know if any of you guys have worked on a big bike like a BMW, it's not as complicated as it looks just remember to take photos as you go, that way if you forget how it came apart you can always revert to the photos, that should apply to any project.

Not a restore but getting a TTR back on the road. Well it was already on the road as I bought it with a new MOT. The bike has done 6000 miles of which 2000 is in the last 7 years. The last year the bike has done 100 miles and is kitted out for the lanes for which I intend to use it! As soon as I got it home oil was le...

I have plans on getting my 06 TTR250R ( US/Canadian Enduro Model) street legal. I'm pretty sure that I'll be getting the Tusk Dual sport kit as it's easy on the wallet, and appearently, not too hard to install.

So my mate has a white TTR250 which is in need of some TLC. The sprag was slipping so we decided to strip her down to fix it up. When trying to remove the flywheel I noticed the crank bearing had play in it and the flywheel can move up and down a fraction. Once finally removed (pain in the ass) we can see that the...
