Just a brief reminder about this great bit of kit. I was experiencing charging problems on my latest TTR refurb project. Somehow, I managed to kill my digital multimeter so I was unable to do the stator resistance and charging tests shown in the workshop manual. After a flash of inspiration (don't oft...

I've seen other people do it on the internet, but just wondering if its OK to cut off the fork gaiters and just run it with the bare fork? Ive been told that this will quickly lead to broken fork seals as dirt/debris gets in there that isn't protected by the gaiter anymore.. although I never ride trails on m...

If you've been following my thread "new money pit" in the projects and restorations section, you'll know I've built a black ttr and wanted to lose the purple wheel rims in favour of gold. After long hours of fruitless searching, I finally came across this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/-/252768927...

My friends ride WR 250's and CR 250x's. When we're scooting down a trail and come to a puddle, they can hit the throttle, lift the front, and skate over it without getting soaked. My TTR can't, and I always just have to plow through them. I just dropped down to a 12 tooth sprocket. It does give me more lift in...
