Simply question, how do I completely remove the rear indicators on my bike (2004 TTR-250) I don't want to ruin any of the electrics so I have to be sure. I removed the brackets and the indicators are now dangling from the wire. What do I do next?

These specs are based on the lowest TTR250 specs and some models may have a rating than specified below. If your model specs are different to below refer to those specs for maximum Headlight/tail-light capacity. I would not recommend running more than two Tail-light bulbs: 12V 5W/21W (or the equ...

I have just done a bit of research for a customer so thought I might as well share the information and maybe there are owners on here that can add to it or correct it - please!The only big-bore kit I have found for the TTR250 is from Thumper Racing in the States - see http://thumperracing.net/index.php?r...

I dug the USD forks out & took few numbers for the conversion into the TTR.... It turns out the 05 YZF250 USD forks use the same ID bearings as the TTR... 28mm Top / 30mm bottom... Even the steering stops look to be in about the right place.. The YZF forks are 40mm longer but theres enough un-tapperd are...

I had a request from a guy who is short in the leg (his description!) to try a lowered TTR. I fitted a lowering link, wound the rear shock spring off just a tad, reversed the handlebar clamps to allow the front forks to be dropped up through by 21.3mm, and fitted a sculpted lowered seat. This achieved a new s...

This has to be the easiest USD upgrade you could find.... A straight bolt-in fit only took me 4 hours included stripping the TTR front end out of the bike.... [URL=http://s1244.photobucket.com/user/petenz1/media/SAM_0144.jpg.html][IMG]https://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg563/pe...

I thought I would share this simple air-box mod with other owners. I had previously tried (twice) to cut down the air duct/snorkel to gain performance. Both times I have had the same result. I tried various ways to do this on two different TTR's but had the same result both times. The problem with this...

I thought I would upload an easy way to install an on/off switch for the head-light. The reason I have done this is because the Cobra websites way is absolute hogwash (in my books).

Is anyone aware of a simple speedometer option for the TTR? Really only wanting speed...analog would be fine in order to keep it simple (both to use and to install, as I'm not especially mechanically-talented!). Thanks!

So I've recently fitted a shiny new FMF Powercore 4 along with a FMF quiet core. Previously I'd fitted another after market pipe but was unhappy with the results. I think it flowed worse than the stock pipe and I needed to lower the needle (or raise the clip) to the highest setting to work properly. I deci...

Here's a nice, easy and cheap mod for your TTR. Having replaced several head lamp bulbs and being generally underwhelmed by its brightness anyway, I decided to fit some extra lights. I didn't want massive spot lights as don't generally need super night vision, but do commute and aware that the standa...

These are M10 and mine kept coming loose despite using loctite and eventually sheared off on a ride out. A combination of tyre levers and lots of zip ties kept me going but rather than just replace it I drilled it and tapped out to M12 fine, then installed a 12.9 steel bolt. After 18 months it's problem f...

Hey guys, my name's Josh. I recently bought a (94/95?) TTR-250 Raid. This bike has been treated like crap, so I bought it as a project bike.

I've recently put the original length shock linkage back on my Raid and noticed it now sits really far over on the sidestand... To the point where if there's a small incline i'm worried it will fall over. Is everyone elses like this? On the lowered link it was far happier on the sidestand..

I am currently running a modified (by previous owner) stock exhaust on my TTR 250. I'm happy with the performance and sound but it is on it's last legs.
