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...

Hi All My rear brake has been getting worse lately, it locks on the dirt way to easy and on the blacktop as well if your not careful It never used to be like that, the pads have 2-3mm left I removed, cleaned and regreased the brake lever pivot bolt but that didn't help, it is smoother though The piston moves i...

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've also wondered about the greater weight of the TTR vs. the YZ or WR seeing as how they have the whole water-cooled system tha...

After Nic's please for pics to show how the TTR goes back together, I thought it might be useful to share some pics of a dead standard bike. I have printed and laminated a couple of these and keep them in the garage to help with rebuilds. I will add more pics as I find them. Brian

Greetings all, I thought I would post my build as suggested by Jarrah. I picked up a 04 ttr250 from a old farmer up here in ND, USA. It was the first one I've ever seen for sale in this area and thought I'd snap it up. Here's what I started with, minus the seat.

hey guys so i plan on upgrading the front brakes, going to put some sintered pads and stainless braided line on. im wondering if there is any rotor upgrades? 280mm -320mm? can i take a oversized rotor kit from a different bike, say maybe a yz or wr and bolt it to my ttr hub? what do you guys think?

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. Anyway, as I am following the Mikuni thread, etc. the exhaust swap made me wonder if anyone has tried a WR carburetor on a TTR? The stock c...

I seem to spend a lot of time waiting for work to be done by tradesmen which is delaying my other projects so, being a gluton for punishment, I thought I would see what I could do with this Raid: I have the cylinder head and other bits in boxes but there are a few bonuses - kickstart, decompressor (but missin...

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. Maybe a lot of yams have this plug? So I bought a copy 350lc headlight from Busters for £30. After a bit of demel...

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.

Went & picked up an '04 TTR last week that I had found on Cragslist here in Vermont.

Quick reply needed- there is a raid tank ending shortly on Ebay. Question is will the Raid tank (& I suspect I'll have to find a Raid seat to fit with it) fit on an 02 blue TTR? 1st time I used my new TTR was on a long weekend in the Pyrennes.

Anyone using throw over panniers or other luggage? Something neat and tidy. I'd like to see pics of how people are setting their bikes up for touring if possible to get some ideas. I like the wolfman stuff but there may be something better out there.
