Hi all; A few years has passed since I sold my loved EXC 300 and now back to mud. Quietly, so I got my 03 TTR. Very happy, but my physical condition now is lower. So I wanted to reduce weight on the blue one. I´ve took off a few small parts. Now I´ve replaced silencer. 4,2 Kgr from the original replaced by 2,6...

There has been a lot of talk about the benefits of the shorty header pipe on the TTR , but all the evidence anecdotal from magazines and rider impressions. General consensus is a 2 hp gain with the shorty. That's decent, about 10 % on a TTR. Recently Kiwi Jeff offered his opinion on his shorty header af...

Hey guys! If I have blue TTR, and I want it to be white (plastics), would it be better to paint or wrap? As far as Iam concerned, the tank cant be wrapped, because it start to bubble after time. Is it possible to get a nice matt white finish at home? The frame would be painted by professionals. Does anyone...

Hi there Ladies and Gents!I amn’t a big poster on here (I just tend to stalk around in the background!) but wondered if anyone could offer a bit of advice.I want to update my TTR’s lighting to LED, but I hear all sorts of tales about how you can’t just switch incandescent bulbs out for LED’s. What is your ex...

So I bought these levers on Amazon. It said that it is compatible with the ttr 250 up to 2013. I've installed the clutch lever with no problem but cannot figure out how to install the brake lever. It does not seem to be compatible. Any ideas?

I have splashed out and bought a £25 Chinese Speedo off ebay. It came with no instructions but I have now wired it to show high beam, indicator left and right and neutral. Has anyone else used one and if so where did you mount the sensor and magnet and how did you calibrate the speed. I have made notes of the w...

Anyone mounted a set of these on their TTR? https://www.rg-racing.com/browsetype/ClicknRide/ They look like a great idea, didn’t think they were too pricey either considering what I expected them to be.

Hey guys! What I dont really like about the TTR is that it has manual fuel tap without any fuel gauge, not even a low fuel sensor. Today I was looking for different fuel taps and I found the one on the picture. I think it would be pretty easy to design an adapter to make it fit the TTR. It has a fuel level sensor w...

Now that I have ticked off all the green lanes locally my thoughts are turning towards travelling further afield - say greater than 70 miles away from home for more adventures. Can't afford a van or towbar/trailer etc so its got to be on the TTR. I'm finding the roadwork can be a bit tiring with the win...

I heard a rumour that there is now a porous wrap available for plastic fuel tanks - ie doesn't bubble up with the fuel vapour coming through. I can't find anything on the web though. Anybody know anything? Simon.

Hi All I recently bought a TTR250 that was imported to Madagascar from Europe about 10 years ago. Before last week I knew nothing of TTR's.

A couple of threads on here recently have reminded me that I meant to do a quick review of the 2 digital speedometers I have on my TTRs.

I am currently running a modified (by previous owner) stock exhaust on my TTR 250. I'm happy with the performance and sound but it is on it's last legs.

Hi, would one of these Polisport MMX Universal Headlight be easy(ish) to fit to my Raid or would the clocks get in the way, or wiring be a pain to sort out?

Here's a nice, easy and cheap mod for your TTR. Having replaced several head lamp bulbs and being generally underwhelmed by its brightness anyway, I decided to fit some extra lights.
