Having just gotten my TTR, I am going through repairing the odds & ends that are damaged or broken, one of which was the headlight/plate. It had a broken tab on one side, presumably from a spill & was bouncing around pretty good when I got it. Instead of repairing the one tab, I decided to remove t...

My brother-in-law's (Keith) shock started to leak oil. We just pulled it out and cleaned it up and, sadly, the chrome is damaged on the shock shaft. Can anyone recommend from personal experience a reliable firm to regrind and rechrome it please? Alternatively has anyone got a shaft in good conditi...

Hey guys. Got the TTR running. Ripped on it today. May not have been such a great idea. It cranked and ran like a dream. Lots of fun. Then went to start it and got nothing. It sounds as if the starter motor is the only thing turning. It is making a ticking noise. Bike isn't really trying to turn over. Occa...

Hi all, Usually I only post to point out the obvious or ask really dumb questions but this time I thought I would share how my rebuild is going. Firstly I thought my bike has always done me proud so a while ago I treated it to one of the first batch of 350 kits. I was too eager to ride the bike so overlooked tart...

I just found this excellent video!

Hey all,domski1 wrote. I know this is slightly off your thread topic but how about trying to to find the different models / colour schemes.

(See here if you are looking to replace your fork seals - http://www.ttr250.com/TTR_renew_fork_seals.htm ) If your fork seals are good but you are not sure of the age or quantity of oil in the forks, it is a relatively straightforward job to change it.

Air cleaner servicing would be the worst job on a dirt bike, pretty dusty here in South Australia so I really need to keep on top of the air cleaner servicing.

To try and take the guesswork out of which size cable clips go where on the frame, I decided to be more methodical on the last dismantlement of a metal-tanked OE. Raids and blue TTRs might be slightly different - but I don't think they are! I took off 11 clips and they are four different sizes: four 6mm, one...

With the current interest in big bore kits that require the crankcases to be stripped for boring to take oversize sleeves I thought this would be a good time to create a pictorial guide to include a full strip down and rebuild.
