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...

My question is when i look at the new ttr230 they have a sleeker tank, shrouds, seat, tail fender and number plaques. Has anybody tried fitting the plastic...

As in the title. The standard handlebar mounts have an offset which by default sets the bars back around 5-10mm towards the rider. I've fitted some risers which also moves the bars are closer still to the rider. Can I reverse the bar mounts to move the bars forwards a smidgen Or is there a reason they're s...

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. I'm comparing the TTR to the experience I had on a friends KTM 250 which is like a caged animal..So, are all TTR...

I have been in email conversation with Peter Gray of Wilderness Wheels Morocco. They run a small fleet of blue TTRs alongside their KTM 450 EXCs. Peter says they find the TTR to be a totally competent off road bike in Morocco and is his preference over the KTMs for a ride over the mountains. He has passe...

After having bash plates on my last 3 bikes I decided it was needed for the green laning on the TTR.

Whilst on my two week shut down over Christmas and the new year I had a thought. Has anyone ever converted a TTR to fuel injection?

Brian, I think this is a nice idea for a new category here. Maybe some links could be added to some of the "modifcation" content hidden away in other threads? I am a habitual tinker-er & have been wondering about all kinds of add-ons, upgrades, swaps, etc.

An interesting thread here - scroll down the page a bit. Bad news is that you lose steering lock and some welding is required Brian
