Stopped (briefly) on the trail, a heads-up.
(Preview)
Went out on a hosted group ride yesterday of about 160 miles & around 100 miles in, the TTR felt like it was running out of fuel even though I had topped off at around 60 miles. I switched to reserve but it quit & I coasted to the side of the road. I had just rebuilt the carb this past week & the bike...

Do you live in Brazil, Colombia, Peru or an African Nation?

If so, it would be great if you could register as a member of the forum. There is a lot of "grey" space on the world map that needs colouring blue with owners from those nations please Click on List All Users in the menu bar about half way down the page and you will see what I mean. Many thanks Bria...

TTR as a race bike.
(Preview)
Went along to assist a local club set out the track for a moto x race meeting on Sunday and was invited to join in! Apparently you can get a one day competition licence, but I won't be taking up the offer, I had enough fun tearing round the track after it was set out.

Duty-UK import duty

A question for the Brits on the forum.. I recently bought some shorty levers from the US. They were stopped by Customs- no duty had been paid. The Post Office left me a card asking me to pay £5 of duty & £8 for additional handling, almost the cost of the levers. I'd like to buy some Tuggers, from the US (i...

Has anybody had a standard TTR250 on a dyno? I read differing power output claims from various sources. As well, some of the "uncorking" information is just rubbish.

How does the TTR 250 fare on the freeway?
(Preview)
I was all set to buy a KLX 250 dual sport for use on a dirt road with some freeway riding and saw a TTR 250 for sale that was made street legal. I've heard most 250 class DSs get a bit shaky at 60mph +. How fast can the TTR go and how stable is it at high speeds? Thanks. Ted

I have finally got past ''the break-in stage'' and gotten around to fitting it so here it is. It is great for a quick bur...

TT-R250M- Hitting the Trails

Hello fellow TTR riders, After fitting the main nozzle from an old 4GY 1994 model I thought it was only ''fitting'' to take it for a test run. Let me tell you- doing this has made the performance much better and the O-ring fitted makes it a lot ''smoother''. Here is a vid of the test run... [video=http://...

Can't believe Yamaha dealers. I have dismantled my carburetor after years of not riding the bike. The o-ring on the main nozzle was deteriorated and fell apart in my hand. So off to the local Yamaha dealer to get an o-ring ( nozzle is fine just needs a soak to clean up ) Dealer informs me that you can not j...
