Hopefully this doesn't get lost in the cloud of spam the forum's being hit with at the moment! This morning I rode the bike to work, as it's a short ride I didn't bother with earplugs so I've noticed a slight rattly/ticky sound when returning to idle after revving, very short and quite quiet but definite...
Greeting All So I fitted my 13/52 gearing today and had a bit of a ride down the back firetrail this combo seems to work really well, I can go down to almost stopped, and move so slowly in first gear that it doesn't even register on the speedo I normally have my Idle set so the motor is just above stopping so yo...
I have a 1995 250 raid and have an oil leak. I think it's comming from the front sprocket area..any Ideas and is it an easy repair for a novice. thanx Guys. Daz
Hey guys hope all is well and happy new year! So my TTR is running leaner than an Olympic marathoner. White spark plug and no carbon build up. New spark plug. The header is glowing red yadda yardda. This is a 2005 TTR 250 US/CA model. I am once again cleaning the carb and checking jet sizes. I will send t...
Hi all,I have a problem with the charging system on my newly acquired TTR250 1995.Symptoms are battery drain of 0.2V/hour, so it’s flat the next day. Also no charging when I rev the bike quite high(I don’t have an inductive tachometer) – the voltage across the battery stays at its initial charge of ap...
Own a 2007 TTR250 Aust build. Managed to smash the headlight lens the other day. Doesn't look like there is anything much on Ebay in relation to the OEM lens as a replacement. Can I still get them anywhere? If not will anything else fit? And for your entertainment.... [video=https://youtu.be/ya9Hd...
Seem to have developed a starting problem on the ttr, where I put the choke and fuel on crank the engine, it starts straight away but the dies. I can do this 4/5 times and eventually I can get it to keep going but before this it used to start on the button. When its warm/hot there,s no problem I can start it eas...
Hi all, sorry if this has been asked many times before, but what is the usual distance you can travel before going onto reserve when off-roading. I appreciate a lot will depend on the terrain and so on, but would I be right in thinking about 100 miles or that is that asking a lot ? Thanks in advance for your c...
Hey all, I have a TTR frame for sale. I bought it with the aim to get it powder coated and then move the components from my bike onto it in-order to minimise the amount of time I'd be without a bike. Since I'm not going to be in a position to do this for a while and my plan has changed to buying a second bike that I c...
G'day guys, There is nowhere on the internet that discusses this topic. I still have the original Dunlops on my bike. I want to change to an exclusive offroad dirt tyre. What brand/types do you recommend? -- Edited by AussieChookchaser on Saturday 7th of December 2024 09:10:45 AM
Hey all, First post on the forum. I ve been reading your posts for some time now and they ve really helped me out with some issues and questions I ´ve had. I m the owner of a 97 OE for the past few months and it really does put a smile on my face everytime I ride it. Ok, I will present myself and the bike in the appr...
Hi. I got a 250 last August with 10.000 kms on the clock. Im sure its not the real mileage as the previous owner told me the speedo did not work for some time. I love pics. Its easier and not so boring. 1st pic - as it arrived home! 😁
Hey Guys, Have read with interest the exhaust mods from Linearprojects however as I don't have a welder I may have to go for an after market exhaust. While registered my TTR is trailered to our ride spot up in the mountains so I don't care if it's loud (in fact loved the deep throaty sound of that TTR from th...
My son got the Motocross bug and tried jumping my TTR250. (his TTR230 has less suspension travel) The TTR250 does bottom out on some of the bigger jumps. I guess he'll need a proper MX bike now... https://youtu.be/Irz_SrDghCE https://youtu.be/kXPYFs2DkSY [IMG]https://i2.photobucket.co...
My ignition pick up has gone open circuit. I've ordered one on ebay that I think I can fit to the existing stator/wiring. Being Chinese if it works I might sell the ttr because I can't trust it Tried to buy a complete stator but apparently not available any more Has anyone got a good fix -- Edited by T...
Just thought I'd put a quick post in as there seems to be a few issues with this. My bike was having issues returning to a normal idle when coming to a stop. (It stayed high or took a while to return or needed a blip to return it to normal) I had previously rebuilt it with an 'All Balls' kit. After trying all...
Since building the 350 I'm loving it so much I don't want to stop riding it when my local lanes close over winter so I'm building some supermoto wheels on some hubs Steve at Totally kindly found for me Of course the smaller 17" wheel and lower profile tyre will already shorten my gearing slightly which is...

Just joined the forum, what a wonderful resource! Thank you Brian and all the contributors. I just picked up a really sweet 2006 road legal (and still licensed) TTR for my son to use. It has less than 5000 kms on the clock, still on the original chain, sprockets and Nissin disc pads! It is in really excell...
I want to set up a spare set of wheels for more road use over winter when my local lanes are closed Will probably get the hubs built onto some smaller rims so not bothered on condition for complete wheels, and a set of bare hubs would be even better Located in the UK
I have just fitted a set of drop-in cartridge emulators, springs and a new rear shock from Cogent Dynamics in the US to an XT250 Serow (sorry to get your hopes up with that first sentence!) The front end was dramatically improved (ride quality and dirt road cornering feel) so I have been trying to find in...

In rebuilding my 325 into a 350 as it has finally succumbed to the dreaded barrel weep, I have found the 6th gear in the transmission is quite badly pitted on the tooth surface. I know this is an issue with the xt/tt 600 engines (top gear being 5th in these) but didn't realise it was much of a problem on our en...
https://ebay.io/m/verWHB Do these fit the open enduro? I saw one on a Serrow recently and couldn't really tell any obvious difference to the open enduro. Ta Dave
I get monthly reports on how my TTR250 web pages are "performing". Interesting to see the shock rebuild page is coming in at Number 3! These are the top 3 pages:http://ttr250.com/Carb/TTR250_carburettor_strip_and_rebuild_guide.htm 5 hitshttp://ttr250.com/Removing_Cylinder_Head/TT...
PO55 in pieces again - I do not love this bike - and just to make my life more interesting, one of the exhaust manifold nuts sheared off when I was removing the exhaust pipe. Any advice as to how to remove the stud - I have tried loads of WD40 and heating with the blow torch, but it still wont budge.
