I wanted to see if I could reduce the slope towards the tank on my Raid seat, while also getting some added padding and making it a little higher in the process. I'm 6 foot 3 (192 cm) and feel a bit cramped on the bike, especially as I keep sliding forward and down towards the tank. I have never liked a forward...

As the title suggests I have increased the power to weight ratio on the TTR, perhaps a bend of the truth a little. I've been really busy putting our house on the market, moving stuff & cleaning, painting etc. Well the house sold in a week & for 50g above what we wanted with the bonus I dropped from...

Got a used GYTR tailpipe. Are some tailpipes just a slip on with no clamp needed ? Looks as though there never as been any clamp. Its a nice snug fit with extra thick pipe on the tailpipe where it joins the header pipe. All mounts line up good. Is it as the word goes. ( A slip on ). -- Edited by Markvan on Wed...

I really like my 2005 TTR250, it was the one bike I have always regretted not buying new when I had the chance. I bought this one 3 years ago having run a TT600RE for quite a few years, I ran them both for while whilst deciding which one to keep. For me, the 250 was the clear winner, lighter, 6 gears, better on t...

Hi there, Has anyone found a source for replacement springs with alternative spring rates or succesfully revalved the forks? I have read that the internals from the wr250r are a good upgrade? -- Edited by dlee22 on Tuesday 13th of July 2021 12:14:32 PM

Hello everyone. Finally I found a bike I wanted. It's arriving in few days. Things I will need to sort first is mirrors - the bike don't have any. As my budget is tight, Double Take is not an option, and perhaps not a necessity for now - mainly it will be thumping on paved roads. Anyone had good success w...

Hi all, not really a modification but fairly rare for a ttr250... My ttr250 came with a decompression lever etc but i removed it due to the fact it leaked. I would like to use my kick starter more often however its typically stated on here that it does not turn the engine over quick enough to be really eff...

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?

The original front line on my '94 OE was bulging slightly under pressure near the bottom banjo so I ordered a replacement braided line from ebay listed as 'TTR250 1994 front brake line'.

Hello good night, I recently bought a ttr 250 blue from 2003. I am delighted with the bike but it is not very good and they tell me that it must have some cap on the exhaust pipe, someone would give me a link on how to remove that cap so that it bike go better. Thank you.
