Yesterday, Got a new key cut for my bike. They said they had never seen an original key (i assumed for my yr model 2005) as what they had seen was some kind of butchered keys previously???? I rang my local yamaha dealer, and they recommended this place. Quite a difference. I keep original key on lanyard, h...

Talking to a friend of mine the other day we discussed why the majority of bikes have cable operated clutches. He rides trials and his Montesa (Honda engine) has an hydraulic clutch and it is much lighter than a cable one even when we'll lubricated. Anyone any thoughts please?

I have a TTR Open Enduro. Please someone tell me what is the max tire size and rim size (SUPERMOTO) which can fix to original swing arm. I hope to replace only the rims and tires. Then I will fix them to original hubs and spares. I need the max tire size and rim size. Thank You!

Most of us use our TTRs for trail. track or road and therefore the requirements are very different to those of a race-tuned engine. I have been contacted by a kart racer who is using a TTR250 donk in his kart and has asked about tuning it to the max. This was my reply:Regarding the carb, the standard TTR car...

I am very pleased with my 02 street legal TTR250.....with one exception. The forks are way too soft. The front end dives when you touch the front brake. I was told to run 4psi and that is what I am running. Can I buy spacers to make the springs stiffer, or buy stiffer springs? Thanks!
