So I think the wifey is going to get me all the parts I need to uncork my TTR for Christmas. I'll be giving her links to the exact products of course. Pipe - I was wanting a Q4, but I found Powercore 4's on Amazon as low as $205. Is that a good deal for the money? Is it super loud? I don't want a screamer, but I also d...

Hi all, I've got a 2011 TTR250. Bought brand new. Just about to take in for first service, etc. I was wondering what exhausts fit this bike. I can find a heap of aftermarket exhausts that fit 99 - 06, but I don't know if any of them would fit my bike. I don't really want to fork out for a GYTR exhaust, because th...

Does anyone have an idea how much performance improvement you get by fitting both a shorter header and a Morad pipe? I think the Motad gets you about one more pony, what about the header combined? I'd like a bit more torque and am wondering if changing the pipe and header is a worthwhile step forward or w...

Does the TTR250 250 have a pumper carb? I understand this is better for off road riding, not sure why

Markvan · Markvan

Its maybe a a copy of a GYTR tailpipe. I was going to try and repack it but when i pulled it apart it was impossible with out cutting a weld i think. Also the porferated inner pipe is only 70% the length of the muffler. Think i will take it to a muffler shop and see what he reckons. -- Edited by Cubber on Friday 2...

It's that time of the season! Unfortunately the pumpkins were a little too small and didn't block any wind. Credit for the idea goes to Jakethegardensnake, a hysterical youtube motovlogger!

I'm taking delivery of my TTR on Thursday, unseen to me. I've got 800 km to do back home then, so want to fit my GPS via a 12V lighter socket. Can someone tell me what the terminals look like so that I can prep my cables? A pic would help as well. All the bikes I've had were a simple M6 stud coming out from the batt...

Would like to put on an FMF Q core pipe but not modify jetting etc.. Would the bike run ok? I just like the looks and the weight savings. I hate messing with carbs, air boxs, I just want to leave it stock, Would it run lean or rich? any suggestions appreciated! Thanks!

Got on to this cheap rear rack. 30 bucks australian. As i dont have a welder and cannot weld this jig had to be made for the welder bloke So he gets the right angles. Sorry if pics are sideways. Its 50/50 chance using an iphone.

On my new to me 2003 ttr 250 I noticed that the rear of the front fender seems so short. I hate to have all the nasty dirt and water flinging on my cylinder head! Is this an issue? Is there an adapter or a different fender to use or will this mess up the cooling aspect and block air flow? Thanks for any feedback!...

Fancy fitting some Wavy discs to my TTR, but when asking about I have had a mixed response to the idea in general.

Just wondering if it's possible to use the gauges from an XT350 (speedo at least). I know you guys can use xt225 gauges, but how do you hook up a speedo cable to the front hub if your blue model only has the Yamaha odometer? Just saying cause I got to ride a 1990 xt350 and I liked it. Thanks! -- Edited by yamaha...

Trimmed the airbox snorkel inlet. As anticipated, the fuel screw was turned out to compensate (out about 3.75 turns now). The a$$ dyno feels a slightly stronger pull on bottom, but sort of falls off up top. Any Comments or concerns? I'm running an UNI air filter with a Mikuni vm28/486 42.5 pilot and a n1...

I'm trying to decide !!!!!! Having been distracted for a few weeks with my other bikes I finally took the TTR out for a trail ride earlier. Now I'm no lightweight but even so I expected more grunt.
