I am a glutton for punishment I recently got another frame back from powder coating and have started to clean up the parts I took off it and hang them back on. I am not sure what order other owners do it in but I like to get the electrics sorted first, then the engine to give stability, followed by the front f...

Hi All. After a provisional "trawl" through the forum looking for a rack - I find that most posts refer to racks fitting the blue bikes. I'm after a rack to for a white bike. Do they have the same fittings? I have just bought a white TTR unseen and it hasnt even arrived at mine yet, but One thing...

Hi All, Been getting help in the maintenance forum since the beginning of Jan for this bike so thought it was time to post up a project thread.

I sometimes have side panels that are sound but tatty. I have been looking at various solutions but the simplest and most effective method seems to be to fit decals that pretty much cover the whole panel. Here are the panels cleaned, with any rough spots smoothed down and thoroughly cleaned with clutc...

This is, hopefully, going to be a simple restoration of a 2006 TTR to as near new standard condition as I sensibly can.

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...

Hi, In order to grow old naturally I am in the process of putting a disc front brake onto my XT500 - the existing single leading shoe brake is painfully inadequate I got hold of a pair of forks from a wrecker (who shall remain nameless but not blameless He appears to have supplied either the wrong wheel and...

I've been seeing some lightweight custom builds out there on the internet & wondered what the engine/trans of our TTRs weighed in at, so I thought I'd ask if anyone knows?

I was just looking at Matteo's (wonder where he's gone?) posts from earlier in the spring about fitting a WR exhaust on his TTR as I came across one myself pretty cheap.

So the headlamp on the Raid seems quite rare. I've had melting wires issues with the aftermarket one on mine so looked for a new one. Having taken it off I reconised the plug as the same on my 350LC.

Anyone tried getting decals for the Raid off Yamaha? Think I'm going to replace the ones missing off my latest Raid if I can. Seriously 90's cheese but what the hell. My other Raid can do without although I did get some copies from Sri Lanka so it may have to be cheesed up as well.
