Hey guys. I'm taking apart my old 2002/2004 Q Plate that my friend built from two crashed bikes. The frame needs some TLC and I want to spruce it up with some new parts I already have for it. I am missing the rear grab handles, all indicators, tail tidy, I have no brake cylinder bash plate either which I woul...
I don't know how but I have lost the gearchange mechanism retaining pin from a crankcase I have been hoarding. I need a replacement if anyone has a duff crankcase they could salvage one from please? I hope its clear from the photos below what I mean. If it has got a proper name I don't know it Beer tokens av...
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...
I am trying to find a Headlight lens for a 2006 blue TTR 250 The one on the bike was broken and unable to read the number can any one tell me the number on it. i have an old one that was in a light surround that i brought, it has the number 50R-0045965 I see that the German website below has this one, is it correct...
I purchased new in 2007. It has done 3900 miles and has recently had new tyres, chain and rear sprocket. It‘s been regularly serviced, and garaged when not in use. The bike is fully original with the addition of a CRD sump guard, B&B frame guards, Acerbis hand guards and has the Totally TTR decompr...
Got my 94 raid on the boat road after it’s been sitting for a few years but getting a bit of clutch slip, can get replacement pattern clutch plates for £20 or ebc heavy duty with updated springs for £45, is it worth the extra?
A mot question, was wondering if anyone had come across. Fork seals are generally covered by rubber gaitors and hidden, to inspect them the tester would have to release the clip to do this. Never had an issue but never known a tester to do this, looks like the seals are overlooked
I'v never had alocking fuel cap but had this delivered today, works well and decent quality. Ebay job. -- Edited by wobbly on Monday 29th of November 2021 05:38:57 PM
I have been in contact with Hagon Shocks about them developing a rear shock for the TTR for a while now. Today I dropped my bike off for the work to begin. I will get it back in around 2 weeks and keep you all updated on how it goes. -- Edited by mikemikettr250bike on Tuesday 9th of November 2021 05:44:30...
Bought a ebike last week, where we now live is a bikeway all the way along side the river going to the city ( Adelaide ) 18kms away, also continues to the coast but that bit is flat & boring. I already have a couple of bikes but there are plenty of hills near home making for sore legs, we live right of the e...
Hi all, Usually I only post to point out the obvious or ask really dumb questions but this time I thought I would share how my rebuild is going. Firstly I thought my bike has always done me proud so a while ago I treated it to one of the first batch of 350 kits. I was too eager to ride the bike so overlooked tart...
I managed to break my headlight on my 2006 250 ttr today. Does anyone know wher i can purchase one. I see that you can get halogen ones that are ment to fit, are they any good.
Here I have for sale a OE frame in a hideous shade of green, but don't let that put you off on its own. It's also has the sidestand lug cut off and the brake pedal pivot modified (I think as it's different to my raid frame). To top it off it's had a weld repair to a seat tube but that seams pretty normal. And has a...
I’ve just joined the forum after buying a bike from a member on here, I’m hoping to do a few green lanes in the Dales, I also own a Fantic 500 Rally but that’s to nice & new to throw at the scenery.
I mainly use the TTR during winter but through the rest of the year I do the maintenance and take it on short rides to keep everything moving. But yesterday I switched the ignition on and everything acted like a flat battery ie dull lights engine would barely turn. Took the battery off and tested, all fin...
Hi, After much deliberation I decided a TTR was the best bet for me with its unique combination of attributes - 6th gear and leccy start in particular. Just spent a few days in Devon with a few other old gits trying to relive their youth - and in the company of a CRF450L, XR400 and DRZ400E, the TTR gave away l...
As seems to be the case when I am leading a trail ride, I find very little opportunity to take photos! Anyways up, here are a few from a trail ride with my brother in a very muddy East Devon. As we hadn't been out for quite a while (Trev reckoned 3 years for him!) we only did a morning's bimble - just over 2 hours...
Yesterday afternoon I noticed that one of the original frame welds had a stress fracture, resulting in almost total separation of the joint. Metal is a bit thin for an arc welder with 2.5mm electrode, but managed with a bit of skill on low current and just overdid the weld to make sure it was stronger th...
I am very pleased with my 02 street legal TTR250.....with one exception. The forks are way too soft. The front end dives when you touch the front brake. I was told to run 4psi and that is what I am running. Can I buy spacers to make the springs stiffer, or buy stiffer springs? Thanks!
Headed out to Stuarts Point north of Orange NSW Australia for the weekend. Some good rides - dirt roads, fire trials and a mate of a mates farm with homemade motocross track
Hi All new member to the forum and looking for help. I am based in Southern Spain not far from Malaga so still enjoying the winter sun although not as much as I had hoped. I have a 2005 TTR (blue) which I have had for a few years now, only has 10k kilometres and has full Yamaha service history, the last one wit...
I am stripping an engine and the sprag clutch was really jammed. If you look at the way the bearing assembly has been bent, this sprag kicked back big time! Can't believe it wasn't giving out audible warning signals to the owner well before this happened. I have found the best way to safely unjam the s...
I have a 350 kit in my sticky mitts now and am really grateful to Simon (mossproof) who did all the hard work on getting the barrels cast and machined, the special pistons and gaskets made and building and testing the very first TTR350 in the world - cheers mate! See here. I have a good starting point for t...
I recently purchased a bike that someone had previously bent the valves. Valves were installed in the head but everything was in pieces. I have been putting Humpty back together but have a couple parts I have no idea where they go or if they even go to the bike. Please look at the image if I can figure ou...
Following the burst rear shock ordeal on the Welsh TET last month, stripping down the rear end to get the shock out got a bit out of hand! A bit of rust under the seat, and noticing a slight notchyness in the steering. All of a sudden I was staring at a bare frame denuded of all it's parts! I don't like the Fren...
Hello Board Members, our 1999 TT-R250 has a WR250f fork mounted. This conversion seems to work great, but the bike is to be lowered and therefore I would like to know how high it is in the front at the top of the steering head and in the middle of the handlebars with an original fork. That would help me to k...
