So, last night my TTR was stolen/joy-ridden. After it not being where I left it, I searched a couple streets and found it parked in one only a couple hundred metres away. They'd broken the steering lock, and then opened up the ignition housing on the other side of the key insert and cut the ignition wires...
I Cleaned my carb (it was really dirty the diaphragm had nearly disintegrated) the previous owner had also stripped most of the screws, ez outs saved the day multiple times. when i put it back on the bike it started easier than ever before and it idled (it used to just die) then i gave a little twist to the t...
Do you guys check it when the engine is dead cold (been sitting overnight) or do you warm the engine up for a minute or so then let it sit for 5-10 then check it? I swear I read somewhere you check the TTR cold but everyone I know with a more modern bike checks it with the other method
Hi all. I just haven't used my ttr any where as much as I thought I would (less than 300 miles !) So it may be time to sell up. I'm just gaging interest at the moment. It runs and rides and has had a new cam chain + magnetic sump plug and an aftermarket digital speedo fitted. I have sourced and fitted an original...
A friend has just returned from the Philippines- where he bought me a few sets of these. Steve (owner of this site) kindly offered to try to source some, as it took me over 1 year to get these. they DO FIT the TTR250 BLUEY (obviously they come in blue!!) ...am I just "odd" believing they finish off a TTR?!!...
Hi guys, Just to be clear: all questions I'm asking not usually are just from one motorbike. As I'm helping my friend at his garage, first TTr was the one I wanted to keep; second belonged to a customer, than then brought a third one, so yes, they are three TTR's I've been/I'm asking about. While checking...
I can hardly believe that it has been over 7 months since a have been green laning on my TTR! I met up with a couple of mates this afternoon but it was more of a social and catch up than a serious trail ride - which was absolutely fine by me after such a long lay off. Nice to have the heated grips on the chilly road...
All the bikes I have owned that had bad piston rings had oil in the exhaust or combustion chamber or showed on the spark plug and the bike I currently have shows none of these issues. However I have little to no compression stroke when turning the engine over from the crank with the socket I have no resist...
Hi there everyone ! my rear suspension is way to hard even after adjusting the dampening to soft and the adjuster on the bottom of the shocker. I would like to back off the spring tension by undoing the two adjusting nuts ( I have the tool for this ) but getting to it looks a tad difficult, can you simply remo...
The guy who owned this ttr 250 before me apparently did not know that the float pin only comes out one way and broke both of the float shafts right at the hole. He put JB Weld on it but as soon as I put gas in the bike they softened up and fell off. What's a good alternative for repair? I tried to solder them And...
Has anybody upgraded the springs in the standard 43mm forks, I tried to get some progressive springs from Hagon shocks but they don't make any. I was just wondering if anybody had done anything similar? Cheers Andy

Hi There, I brought an oe a few weekends ago and it was great ran lovely and was a great introduction to dirt bikes. Unfortunetly the second time out with d.lee22 whilst riding back I heard a loud snap. Once the bike was recovered, I removed the rocker cover only to find the cam chain had jumped off the out...

Hi, brand new rider from the middle of the US. I just bought a 2004 TTR250 last week, and have been reading all I can about it. I'm a new rider, with just a few hours of dirt bike experience from last summer. My 16 year old son and I hope to have a lot of fun with the bike this year. I look forward to digesting...

I have owned this bike for four years and used it regularly. I have enjoyed riding it but have been offered a much newer one, hence the sale. It has new piston rings and doesn't burn oil. It was MOT'd in the Autumn. It has a Vector electronic speedometer. I have the old speedo but I do not know the milea...
I have a complete and unmolested airbox, including the filter cage and full snorkel for sale. Came with loads of bits when i bought my TTR and thought it may be useful to keep should i ever want to try the snorkel mods etc.. But, im far too happy with my TTRs performance so instead of it languishing in my...
I have just put an advert on eBay for a Honda CB250RS kickstart lever but am mentioning it here as I got it off a TTR250 that I broke for spares so I know it will fit The photo below shows the lever fitted to my TTR250. It's a very tight fit and touches the clutch case and frame - just - so be aware that it isn't a p...
Here's my first ttr "ground-up" (last resto was a ccm 644 - lovely bike but riding it just didn't inspire me like the ttr does) As bought: As you can see, she's been leaning against a wall for a while Time for the hot air gun and the massaging hands! Powder coater's tomorrow... -- Edited by mossproof on W...
