Hi, long time lurker. V. useful forum thanks for all the knowledge! I've been after a replacement for my standard exhaust which had gone past ripe & took a risk on a new Polish dominator exhaust from eBay. I couldn't find any reports on them so I thought I'd offer my initial thoughts. Exhaust arrive...

I thought I'd share my headlight upgrade as it has enabled me to ride safely at night around the dark lanes of Dartmoor and surrounding area. I didn't think to take photos of each step but hopefully this will help anyone who is interested. Everything was sourced from Ebay. I decided that I wanted a round...

What are the best mods to increase overall power and reduce weight?

Hi folks. Just need to pick someone's brains. I've bought a wheel from online. It's identical to this. I believe it's from a TTR230 not TTR250. The disc is smaller diameter. Can anyone clarify I really should have checked more before buying

Sammyboy · Sammyboy

I'm planning on getting a pro circuit or fmf exhaust, would I have to redo the jetting since I already removed the snorkel?

Has anyone bored out the Teikei on the TTR250? If So, what are your thoughts. I am nearing completion of my 325 build and was considering boring the Teikei so the bottom of the throat is the same as the top

What's the best available after market exhaust (new, off the shelf in the UK) for the TTR250, in terms of power gain/noise?

Hi, mates; I got my "new" bike, TTR 250 blue / 2003 a few weeks ago. I couldn´t test her as my arm was injuried, but seemed to work nicely (1000 m high area). On the while, I´ve read about how to uncorck her (thanks to all the mates dropping so valueable info !!) When I´ve been able to hold an screwdriver, I st...

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...

Mateja · Mateja

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.

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.

Mateja · Mateja

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...
