Anyone know where to get hold of one of these? Haven't had much luck with Mr Google. Cheers

Hi Guys, I thought i had my idle screw set right. When cold, fires up straight away, ocasonially use choke for a couple seconds. Idles fine, sounds fine not revving hard. Noticed tonight when i went for a ride, that coming into intersections/round abouts. Anytime i pulled the clutch in it seemed to be o...

dumb question but is the choke suposed to significantly raise the RPMs?

Hey all. New to the forum. I posted this over on Thumper Talk, and got no response, so I decided to make an account here. Its a 2005 US model. I got the bike last year. I did the basic stuff, took the baffle out of the pipe, rejetted, took the snorkel off of airbox, etc. That's when my problems started... ...

I have three questions about my carb 1. Should it leak gas if the bike is on its side? 2. Should it stay running when it's on it's side? 3. When I do a coldstart should the bike cut out whenever I blip the throttle thanks.

I've taken apart my carb to deal with some leakage and it has clearly been taken apart before. One of the float arms had been broken off and pinned back together. There is also no white plastic insert seen in the following pic. What purpose does the white plastic bit have and does it matter if it doesn't ha...

Ever wondered what the little black bottle plumbed into the TTR's air intake was supposed to do? I confess to having been ignorant until reading a review of the new Beta enduro bikes in the latest TBM magazine when the YEIS was mentioned. I did a search on t'internet and found some more information.Ap...

HI all, Chasing up a fuel leak. Have not had time to pull bits and pieces off the bike.... but. I have decided to run inline fuel filter *crazy kid* Put a brand new one (filter) on tonight, and noticed that even when fuel tap(peac o c k) was in the off position, fuel was coming out. I would not say, full flow, b...

As I am always asking Bri to test kits that I have in the shop, thought I would have a go at fitting the all balls carb kit, as my carb needed a overhaul on my OE that I am going to do a full rebuild/ 350 kit on. So I started off stripping the carb down Now I think most people buy the kits, just to use all the gaskets O...

My carb has a leak from the diaphram area at the bottom of the carb so the diaphram is probably toast, I'll need to replace it. My question is will this issue have an effect on performance? I have no other TTR to compare mine to but if I had to guess I would say it's feeling underpowered.

I have a carb that runs rich on tickover. Just touch the choke and its stalls immediately. I have set the float height artificially low - made no difference so it's not flooding. I have checked that the choke is seating properly so that's not the issue. I tried a smaller pilot jet and it made no difference...

Hi all, I have a 93 oe with a few raid parts, which recently has had new pisyon rings, cam chain etc. Before i took the bike apart it was running 142/48 jetting and started reasonably well and idled perfectly. Since then i have "rebuilt" the carb using an all balls kits from the ttr shop. I tried to run the...

Hey there. So I noticed when I run my bike wide open/full throttle and then right after closing the throttle or even going half-throttle, my engine 'blips' and surges for about half a second before engine braking. I'm wondering if this is an issue with carb tuning. It's kinda annoying esp. when speedi...

TTRfan · TTRfan

These are the usual culprits! I have just stripped them out of a carb that has been standing unused for a long time. The float bowl gasket was hard and flattened. The diaphragm had fused to the carb body and had to be prised off plus the two small O rings by the diaphragm had seen better days. The carb wasn't...

As most of us have all known for years, barely twisting the throttle on a 250-450 race bike will make it launch hard. The same throttle response on a TTR is much smoother and less aggressive. For the first time the other day, I twisted it much farther and it flew from 40-70 mph with plenty of power le...

It is very difficult to remove/replace the choke with a standard spanner as there just isn't any room to turn it. I finally got motivated to grind down an old 12mm open-ended spanner to give some clearance and it works a treat

The page above came from a blue TTR manual and it's different to the instructions in the older TTRs' manual which, in step 4 (actually it's instruction 5 in the older manual), adds "and warm up the engine for several minutes" I am missing something here - why warm the engine up on the older TTRs? I am about...

Ok guys, new here So I'm sorry if this has been covered. I got my hands on an 04 blue 250 pretty much free in a trade as boot. It was bored .20 over and when they put it back together it wouldn't run. After I tore into it, ended up being bent exhaust valves. Got all that fixed. Then the carb was very dirty, and of c...

Has anyone fitted an inline fuel filter and if so what is the size please 6mm or 8mm? Thankyou

Moo · Moo

Thought it would be an interesting thread for everyone to post what Jets they are running along with any mods, exhausts and altitudes they are using. Mainly because there still seems to be a lot of different standard jets the TTRs run and it's unclear why? I've just fully rebuilt my bluey with the all ba...

I am currently rebuilding a 94 OE, amongst other things I found that the float valve wasn't closing properly.

I just opened the air box intake, and cut 6 3/8" holes in the exhaust next to the main hole (stock muffler) to help reduce the restrictions in the bike. It ran very well before, and I'm wondering if I need to automatically richen the carb (hopefully with a needle clip adjustment) just because of this. ...

The bike has developed a bit of an issue today. It starts ok and idles with the choke off after warming up, without any problems. The trouble is anything more than 1/4 throttle and the revs don't rise and the engine splutters? It was dark and cold when this decided to happen, but luckily it happened just a...

I am going to try and rebuild a carb to run and look as close as possible to new as I can. I am already into it 2-3 hours so it's gonna be a long job! The finishing touch will be to re-plate the rusty steel parts and get the same colour as on a new carb using the Zinc/Nickel Plating Kit from Gateros Plating. These...
