Hi all, Two weeks ago my blue TTR (2003) was working fine: I did a 135k on/off road trip, parked up and when I went back to the bike a day later it wouldn't start. The starter would turn but there was no spark. Being a lazy sod I took it to my local Yamaha dealer. They did static tests and said the stator was duff...
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 All Sad news this one Due to a high volume of orders being returned to me from Europe, I have suspended any European orders using their local postal network for the moment. I am trying to see how to get this resolved. For now I can only send using UPS and not the local postage sytem. If any customers in E...

Flinders ranges 2017, we had 3 TTR's 2021 Port Hughes trip 2021 day ride...
Hi, I have been a long time lurker on this forum and have found it to be a great resource for all and most interesting. I thought therefore I would joinup if not only to boost the membership. I dont have an off road type machine and really never have had and I dont know if my bones / joints would actually take i...
Hi, I'm selling my blue 2002 TTR 250, currently on SORN. 5235 miles (speedo in km), barely used but well maintained. Norwich. Local delivery possible. £2000
Just for information when you hear that dreaded "Clunk" sound when you stop the engine and your fears of having to replace the Sprag Clutch, its not that harder job. The sound was getting louder and more often when the engine was stopped. 2001 model with 16000km, we are the 4-5 owners looking at the bik...
Interesting video. The guy (can't find his name) has built his own powder coating setup very cheaply and, in this video, coats some TTR parts including the barrel from a 350 kit

Hi all, got an issue with my blue tank speedo drive, yes the speedo does work but when the dike is in the air & I turn the front wheel backward it locks up, I removed the speedo drive & inspected, cleaned it up. the worm gear or pinion had end float & I believe this is causing the lockup. To me it s...
Hi Everyone, Was visiting a friend of a friend in our old hometown and during a “Guided Tour” of his Garden I spotted a 1981 Montesa Cota 200 lurking in the darkness. Just had to ask what that was all about and was told that he bought it out from Scotland, when he emigrated to NZ in 1991 and was thinking of sel...
Feels like a 2nd coming, what with Covid and long awaited surgery I’ve had minimum TTRing or big yin outings. The surgery complete 2.5 weeks ago, (no details, it would make your eyes water) and recovery going well, in 1.5 weeks I hope to be climbing aboard wee yin, stand by for some short ride reports.
Hello! It seems that the coil lead on my ttr has some internal damage.Sometimes when unplugging and putting it back i get misfires. I have cut a few mm of the end of the lead and screwed the plug cap back in and it cured the problem.But i already had to do it twice now. Is it possible to remove the lead from the...
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...
Up for sale is my TTR project. Sorry for the long ad but there's quite a lot to list.Firstly everything is powdercoated.

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...
Just it, my 2005 original battery, a lead-acid battery is dying, it recharges with a battery charger but at 15 days, it lost almost all the power. Any suggestions about a battery model? I was checking in a official Yamaha store and the original has this number 4UC821000100 , can anybody tell me if it is t...
Hi all - up for sale is my low mileage 2005 TTR 250 and riding gear. I'm in Surrey near J8 of the M25. Recently MOt'd (to June 13th 2023), V5 in my name.

Just nought my first TTR250 blue 2005. Only 6500 miles.....loving it....well I was....! After first ride I had to limp home with a slipping clutch. Thanks for the great thread on how to adjust....I hope to try this later. 😀 I'll pop back on the thread and hopefully someone will have a photo of the a...
Hi Was a bike for my son to have a go at trail riding but he doesn't seem to have caught the bug. I paid £3k for it which was probably a little too much, and I've also fitted a new silencer, and put new rims and stainless spokes on it. Not sure really how much it's worth, but hopefully you guys can give me an idea...
I’m new to the site and not sure entirely if I’m doing this right? I recently bought a ttr250, and need a metal bash plate for it, does anyone know one that would fit and work nicely?
When this mint condition 2006 TTR-250 showed-up on fb marketplace for $2,600, I had to save it from the ebayers who part them out. With the exception of the carb, it has not been wrenched on. It only has 126 miles on the meter. Judging from the pristine condition and original Dunlop D-739's, I believ...
I'm just not using this, having owned it from 2014 when I was using it for green laning. The bike has been sorn'd for several years since I decided to do a re build. The frame has been powder coated and various minor parts p painted. During the rebuild I bought a new Yamaha headlamp surround, new hand guard...
Hi looking for a blue tank model Ttr have around 2.5k to spend for right bike would like something fairly standard I am based in northern England but willing to travel within reason.
Hi all, as it seems like finding an original headlight surround for an 04 is virtually impossible please could somebody point me in the right direction for the best alternative. Cheers in advance.
