Pulled out my finger today & put rego on the TTR, took it out for a ride in the Adelaide hills, only 120kms but was fun, feels pretty good. Can't believe I've had this bike for 10yrs last week, seems like yesterday I picked it up & today it clicked over 24,000 kms Cheers Terry
Hello, I'm new to the TTR-250 and new to this forum. While perusing the information available to perform some routine maintenance on a TTR-250 I just purchased, I came across several threads regarding bad sprag clutches. That's when it hit me--my bike may be experiencing the loud bang at shutoff tha...
Welcome to the sale of my Yamaha TTR250. Registered new 25/06/04 I bought this bike from a friend 11 years ago with 1800 miles on after doing extensive research looking for a light air cooled ,carbureted, kick and electric start ,economical bike capable of cruising on the road at 55/60mph -it now has...
Hello there, I am the proud new owner of a 2000 TTR-250. Well, I actually purchased it as a gift for my son. He's been getting excellent grades at school and excelling at sports as well so I thought this would be a great way to reward him for all his hard work. Even though his friends ride (much) newer machin...
Hi there, i got back home from a ride recently and discovered the top roller and it's mounting have left the TTR. Could anyone help with some dimensions or some kind of template so i can get a mount sorted and fit a new roller. Many thanks
Hey all. New to the forum. I posted this over on Thumper Talk, and got no response, so I decided to make an account here. Its a 2005 US model. I got the bike last year. I did the basic stuff, took the baffle out of the pipe, rejetted, took the snorkel off of airbox, etc. That's when my problems started... ...

Looking for my first TTR-pretty open to most, but I think I want one with electric and kick start options. Based west Wales but am willing to travel. Thanks
Curious what oil I should be using in my bike? It’s a 2003 Yamaha TTR 250. Owners manual says 10w-30 or 20w-40 (depending on outside temperature?) I know a lot of you guys on this forum are using 10w-40 semi-synthetic. I recently spoke to a Yamaha Service representative and he said he wouldn’t use 10w-4...
Hi All, first post and being this forum has been a great help in information i am hoping someone can help me out. I have scored a 2005 TTR that by the looks has not been started for over 10 years, and i have had some interesting challenges getting the bike up and running. Carb was totally full and blocked wit...
Some of you may have realised by now, there is talk of a 350 kit becoming available. There has been some really hard work done by a fellow TTR nut, to see if it could work. Measurements have been taken, suppliers and manufactures have been approached and it would seem it is a feasible project. The seed fo...
Hello, new to the forum, just testing the waters for a bike as I have decided to look for a smaller bike to ride at home and (possibly) abroad (want To blend in, hate orange) and want a small air cooled bike (between an xr250 and ttr250). I ride off-road fairly regularly too and being able to pick it up is a p...
Just posting this in case anyone is curious about their own bike and situation.This week I took my blue TTR along to Stevenage, Herts for a ULEZ / Euro 3 emissions test:https://www.uleztesting.co.uk/Glad to say the bike passed the inspection with a NOx level of 0.1 g/km and is now exempt from the...
Oops! Had a bit of an off today and have smashed the speedo and broken off the warning light assembly too (as well as knackered the cowl). Does anyone have any ideas for replacement, since I assume I won't be able to get stock replacements easily. I know I can change to an aftermarket digital speedo and p...
Howdy, Just joined and wanted a place to follow my bike. I had previous to me a 2001 TTR-225 and to be honest I loved it minus its lack of suspension. Wasnt fast but stone dead reliable in the woods. So I figured why not get the bigger better version of the 225. [url=https://flic.kr/p/2nrQbhs][img]http...

hello everyone, I have a 2004 TTR that I am tinkering around with at the moment that smells of petrol, closer inspection has revealed the carb is getting wet around the diaphragm cover area, the Bike runs and rides fine, anyone else has this issue -- Edited by TTRHead on Monday 22nd of July 2019 02:54:53...
Morning all, Just wondering if anyone has any experience of successfully upgrading the suspension on their bikes? The front end tends to be a bit twitchy with the whole set up being very soft. I know it’s a trail bike, but the front does tend to ‘dive’. Can you buy upgraded springs in the UK? I’m around 90...
Hi all We’re currently looking at bringing the family TTR to life which has a powercore 4 fitted. It’s very loud haha, but the pipe looks great! So we’re after a Q4 or something very similar! Thanks, Mark
I’ve managed to rip the wires out of the back of the clutch switch. My TTR will now only start if it’s in neutral. Logic says I should be able to join the two wires together and make it so it will start in neutral and in gear whether the clutch is pulled in or not. I’ve tried that as a temporary solution but the b...
Just a few pictures of a trip I'm just back from. 10 days on TTRs in Morocco. Me on my 325 and my mate on his 350. I transported the bikes down to Malaga in my van, collected Giles at the airport and continued south. We decided to keep vanning rather than leaving the van in Spain, and it was a good choice. On ent...
Following on my earlier post, I have removed the head, barrel and piston and determined that the existing piston is a Wiseco 4689M07350, which is 73.5 mm nominal (0.5mm over stock). While I fully recognize that it may make sense to replace the piston regardless, for diagnostic purposes I want to veri...
