Wonder how well a xt250 carb would fit ? The cables look like they would be a straight fit and it's a pumper carb like the original. The Teikei carb seems to be getting very rare so could this be a good replacement ? Being Mikuni spares would be available and iv'e seen service kits on ebay. Think i'd give one...

Evening all, Just taken my '94 TTR for a quick test run and its bogging under load, revs clean at standstill, good spark etc. The plug was black and the air filter clean. Not had chance to take the carb off as yet, but it was supplied with a competition exhaust that was taken off recently as its loud and a sta...

Hello all....just bought 2005 TTR250....I thought it was in good shape but have already found a couple of issues. At idle the engine pops and coughs backwards in direction of carb.....not noticeable while riding. Previous owner noted the bike had sat for a while so he had an auto mechanic friend cl...

My bike is running rich, as it splutters a lot on WOT. I have ran it with air box lid removed and it runs a lot better. Main jet is a 147, can anyone recommend what size main jet to change to? exhaust is a CRD open pipe. Is there a point changing pilot jet as it runs ok on low revs. Many thanks.

KamJam · KamJam

Hey! I was wondering if anyone knew what jets (pilot and main) would work most efficient at 7000ft above sea level. I dropped the needle down two notches in the carb but it still sputters at high rpm and i can not get full power. Let me know your guys opinion!!

I noticed that I had a little petrol come out of this hole When I turned the fuel on. I had only just cleaned the carb it stopped after a few secs and hasn't done it since. as you sit on the bike this hole is on the right hand side of the carb on the bottom of the float bowl. I think it's for a pipe I didn't see a pipe o...

Does anyone know of a good carburettor reconditioning company in the uk, has anyone used a specific company to carry out any work? I am thinking of getting mine reconditioned if it's possible. Cheers John

Fairly New to riding every day but have to choke every morning for the bike to start. Any ideas or should i get used to this? tried changing plug but not sure the replacement was any better than the one that was in(hard to get genuine spares).

Hello, I'm just learning how to take apart my carb on my TTR, as I cleaned the jets after it sat all winter. When I put it all back together and turned on the pet**** to fill the bowl, it started leaking out of the overflow. I figured the float was stuck so I tapped on it and it stopped leaking. Then when I st...

As above, my TTR starts and idles very well, i can even get it to idle very slowly and it ticks over lovely. But just above idle it seems slightly hesitant, this will be a pain when riding off road. Other than this it revs cleanly through the rev range as it should. Iv'e put the standard exhaust back on incas...

The bike was standing for 18-months with fuel in, carb not drained. It would crank over but not run. So far I have done the following.. - Emptied old fuel in tank, filled up with a couple of litres of new fuel - Carb removed. Took apart from the float side only. Cleaned jets, diaphragm, bowl and float, an...

Hello guys, My bike is a 1996 Raid. A few days ago I had a fuel flow problem so today I cleaned the fuel tank and the carburetor. I found a huge amount of gunk clogging the fuel pipe and the needle valve seat, so I cleaned them out. But once I reassembled the bike, there was no way to get it start and run unless I o...

As far as I am aware, my TTR pulls like a train right through the rev range. Well, a small train. But there is a slight bog between 1/4 and 1/2 throttle, but only if held there for a sustained period, i.e. cruising down a long straight 30MPH road, then when you go to take off when the speed limit increases, a...

Terrence R · Terrence R

I'm wondering if there's such a thing as an aftermarket fuel metering screw with a long shank on it to fit a TTR250. I can easily purchase one for my WR250f as it has a name brand carb. But what about the ttr? If so, do any of u guys know of a part number for one? Thanx.

locky · locky

My TTR runs sweet but i'm unsure if it should run a bit more crisp at lower revs, it could be normal for all i know and i'm happy with the way it runs. Saying this i think i'll give the carb another clean and check within the next few weeks. While searching for carb info i found this, i had to use google transla...

I could increase the idle speed easy enough. But slowing the idle was abit harder. Found that the spring was catching on the carby body. Took screw out then filed the top of the spring so it Had a slopping edge. Added a tiny bit of grease. Now its easily idled up or down. Use to have idle down with a pair...

My OE runs fine in good weather condition but when riding in rain my throttle feels very sticky and when I let off the throttle grip, it jammed at about 1/4 carburetor opening thus I had to force it shut to an idle opening. However when I turned off the engine and twist the throttle open and close, it feels n...

I've looked through all the posts but can't find an answer. Sometimes the bike ran well then it just cuts out. Tbh it is a lot worse since the new pipe went on, as I'm not sure about carbs I don't know where to start. It also sounds like it's blowing back through the carb at times if that makes sense. Any help w...

Hi Everyone I’ve ordered myself a GYTR Slip on muffler for my 2013 TTR250. I was told by the guys in at Yamaha to just drop the height of the circlip down “one” in the carburettor.

hi all, sorry if I'm missing something but the ttr250 manual says to push float pin out in direction of arrow. Other advice on here seems to indicate that the arrow shows the direction the pin was installed in and that you push it out in opposite direction to arrow. Which is it please? Mine looks like so...
