Hey all! New owner of a 2001 TTR-250 with a serious carb leak and a wonky rear brake switch. This is my first kick at anything dirt or dual-sport after years of standards, nakeds, cruisers and sport-tourers. I'm mostly looking to commute so creature comforts are probably in the future, but right now...
Hi guys, just got my 2005 Up and running after a tidy up in the workshop. Starts lovely and runs well from cold. Left it to warm up to change the oil but once warm it smokes quite a bit, puffs as it is revved I would say white or blue. Im not sure how old the fuel is but I will change this. was thinking of doing a co...
New to the forum, managed to get hold of a old 1998, TTR 250 which is in need of a bit of love and restoration.... Originally used by the French Police for off road training, then bought by a friend of mine, used occasionally for a number of years but mostly stored away in a barn. So, Im looking forward to get...
Hi, recently bought a 1998 TTR 250, been stood around for a few years. Its developed a carb issue very quickly which is driving me mad, so hoping someone can help! A little diagnostic history...... After getting her home she started up first time and runs really sweet. So after checking her over I took h...
Hi I am talking about an 04 blue tank model bike that I have had for 12yrs so it is not new to me. I am reasonably ok with practical stuff rebuilt engines etc . So my problem started when I came to take thebike out after a longish 1yr year of no activity. Starts up fine ticks over fine will rev up if throttle is op...
Hi, Got a older TTR 250 1998, its got the standard TQ carb - I'm having fun and games with the original carb, so looking to see if anyone can point me in the direction of a replacement carb? Thanks in advance Larry
I am finishing up re-assembling my 2005 after an overhaul. connected the rear indicators back up and the rh one works fine but the lh flashes too fast. front indicators all connected as they should and everything lighting up, just lh is flashing much faster. dodgy flasher relay? I have some LED re...
on my last trip. I was surprised/disappointed by the stability in the sand. the 250 ttr is a short motorcycle. I decided to fit a steering damper and lengthen the swingarm (3 cm) at the same time to fit a wrf wheel and its 245 mm disc.
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...
Hi All, Thought I'd share a few pictures of the journey of my TT-R. It's a rebuilt bike by a friend of mine, I beleive the frame is from an 04 and the engine a 99 or vice versa. I picked it up off said friend for a reasonable price about 5 years ago, and since then have done a few green lanes and most recently the...
I just purchased a 06 with under 6000ks on the clock, very stock & in very good condition watch this space for an adventure build from yz250f parts as the upgraded parts
Hey Guys, Selling what i think is one of the David Lambeths Acerbis fitting kits. Believe its for the Blue TTR's Got it from another member, but it fouls my custom oil cooler so no good to me Looking for £20 plus postage
Ok I have removed and cleaned the carb 4 times. I know what you all are thinking and I now too have the benefit of experience. "dude you should have cleaned the tank as one of the first steps to getting a bike that has been sitting with fuel in it for 5 to 6 years!!!" The tank is full of crap! I have a 2006 TTR blu...
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...
We have just got back from riding a 350 oe and a 325 raid to Hamburg for shipping to South America November 2022. I purchased my oe in 2016 and rode it to Nepal 2018, upgraded it to a 350 had a few initial teething problems but now am very happy with the bike. Roberta, my partner purchased my friends old rai...
Hi Guys, i bought Dave's 2005 TTR that was for sale on here. Im a first time TTR owner, bought the bike to do some green laning and get back into offroad riding. I also have a BMW F650 Dakar which i am hoping to do some longer trips to wales, scotland and europe incuding some TET riding in the next few years. As...
Hi, just brought a spare engine from a UK breaker who'd totally forgotten where it came from. It's not got an engine number, just 4GY stamped on the boss, doesn't appear to have been messed with and no sign that the cases have been replaced unless it was a very long time ago (also unlikely at £2K+ a set!)....
After selling my old Raid and regretting it, I got a bit click happy on ebay, on a 1994 OE.Didnt cost mega bucks, and just needed some TLC. Now 95 % complete, and for nearly a 30 year old bike, it didn't come up bad in the end!
Hi guys, Any idea what i am missing that attaches to these fixing points on the LH side of the frame? Im presuming the lower mounts are for a side stand switch that someone has removed? Thanks Tom
Well after nearly a year after I brought a poorly ttr250 off ebay . She's finally running a treat and ready for a few greenlane runs . The bike was advertised as needing tlc , the sprag clutch had gone and she smoked . As well as that the suspension was tired and the body work had signs of age . But she came to m...
