I am a new member who recently purchased a 2006 TT250R. I also purchased a new GYTR exhaust thinking (and K&N filter) it would just be a simple slip on no tuning process (same as my KLR with my Yoshimura & K&N). Unfortunately, I have found out that the exhaust is super loud and also snap, crac...

Has anyone come across a non-floating cab float...??? Finished a carb rebuild a few months ago, put it all back together and fired it up without a problem. Just come to check it over pre MoT and running (just) pants and carb flooding. Stripped out the carb again, checked float needle for debris but all c...

Hey Everyone, I know there is a ton of info (and confusion) about jetting, size variances between manufacturers, and what part numbers are available in OEM. I've been emailing back and forth with Jetsrus.com, and let them know the Mikuni jets they show on their website as appropriate for the TTR are a...

I'm not much of a mechanic but I can replace stuff, about 2 years ago I took this apart to restore and it kinda got stalled, and now I got a rebuilt kit and changed all the parts in the carb. But it's still running very rough,it smooths out for a sec but stalls right...

I've just completed a carb rebuild (with All Balls kit) but now have a leak from the diaphragm cover. I'm trying to avoid the expense of a new diaphragm so wondered if it also acts as a gasket, sealing against the cover? If it doesn't act as a gasket, then I assume replacing it isn't going to help. I've atta...

I will try and keep this a bit short... Bike: 2005 TTR250 - Aussie spec. Was doing some general cleaning on my Original carb that had done bugger all work from new (700km's) (it had a blocked pilot jet), ended up breaking the float tower off, had sourced a used carb. I believe this used carb is the 'older' s...

Ok guys, I have tried to avoid asking this question as the answer should be obvious, but despite a thorough search of the forum, I cannot find the specific answer although the general problem is referred to a lot. How does one actually remove the float bowl check valve seat and needle from the carby whe...

Hi Folks, looks like my bike has developed a misfire on part throttle, the first part. Starts OK, always has and I’ve not had this before. I usually turn the fuel off and let the float bowl empty after a ride as the bike can stand for a while not being used. Not good, I know ! I had a look at the float bowl drain s...

Hi, I ordered an all balls carb kit and a diaphragm for the accelerator pump from the marvellous Totally TTR's.

New to me 2003 TTR250, the carb slide is sticking half way open periodically. After some reading I understand the coating on the side starts to fail, which is the likely cause of this? Does anyone know if I can just buy a new slide? If so, from where and what is the part number? Thanks, Ryan

Its probably already been mentioned somewhere on here, but after purchasing the All Balls Carby rebuild kit, have to say i was pretty disappointed with it. Hadn't had the carb off since i got it.

I have been in email conversation with Peter Gray of Wilderness Wheels Morocco. They run a small fleet of blue TTRs alongside their KTM 450 EXCs.

Bough a 2003 TTR250, whoever tried to service carb before me stripped and pinched off (with pliers) the accelerator pump nozzle jet. You cant buy this part and it doesn't show on the exploded ipc diagram. Anyone have a fix or a carb they don't need?

I rode the TTR to work today and she ran perfectly. I left her parked in the rain for 8 hours. When I started her up to come home, she just didn't want to run. I managed to limp about 1/4 mile, sometimes running fine, then bogging and stalling. Next only running with the choke full out before stalling again?...
