Hello all. I recently tore down my carb and cleaned it out because it had been sitting for a year and a half. I got it installed and put the bike back together, but when i turn on the pet****, gas comes out of both overflow lines. is it possible that i bent my floats?
So, my daughter's bike is starting to smoke a lot, figure it's time for new rings and piston, looking on Ebay, looks like they offer a few replacements, 73.75 bore, 73mm bore, 73.5 bore, Any idea what size I need, I don't want to pay the inflated Yamaha OEM brand if I don't have too. Thanks -- Edited by dle...
Hi all, I am reluctantly selling my Raid, which I bought to commute to work with. I finished recommissioning it and then Covid hit! I will not need it anymore as I will be working from home for the foreseeable future. if anyone is on the look out for one, then let me know and I will add more details of what...
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...
Hey all, As much as I love my TTR I am getting the itch for more bikes, or at least something a bit more powerful. Has anyone ever owned a TTR600, how do they compare? If you were to get a bike that was a bit more wheelyable and had a bit more top-end, what would it be? XR600? XT600? I'm looking for cheap prefer...
Got a hard copy of a TTR manual today (have a PDF version already, was looking through it again & came across all the suspension adjustments. They basically tell you where hard, medium & soft are but not much more. I was wondering if anyone with more TTR seat time has really sorted out all the set...
I have just converted my 1997 TTR250 to a "Supermoto" .... It was relatively straightforward and CHEAP, once I figured out which wheels to use!For the rear, I fitted a DT125X (17" x 3.5"), which more or less bolted straight on! All it required was a slight modification to the TTR...
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
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...
Whenever I think a customer can't surprise me any more, I get one that does! Turns out that TTR250 owner Chris Hayden developed a Vincent 1000 to race at the Isle of Man TT and took the lap and race records for a Vincent in 1988. This is him in action below Chris said the hardest part was that his Vincent...
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...
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...
Hello again, today i am servicing my air filter, I have checked out previous threads and after washing in warm soapy water and allowing to dry, some of you use 2 stroke oil instead of proper air filter oil. I have 2 stroke oil and willing to bow down to all of your years of experience and use it. Please can an...

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...
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...
Does anyone have a Yamaha part number (and/or price) for the TTR decompressor kit please? I have "collected" a kit and have a buyer interested but can't find details on the web. No part number on the packets which is odd. Also, has anyone got a decompressor fitted and can tell me where the par...
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
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...
Been a hell of a day I've been trying to bleed my brakes on the Kawasaki zzr600 and no matter how much new fluid we have put through its still not biting, just remaining really spongy and not stopping the bike at all, it has got new seals and fluid and still refuses to bleed, any ideas and too top it all off fo...

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...
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...
