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!

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...
