Broken bolts or chewed up screw heads can often be removed using left hand spiral drill bits which back the problem stud or bolt out its hole without damaging the thread. Screw extractors are brittle and can snap. Left hand spiral bits drill in an anti-clockwise direction and can release the pressure...
HI my names pat, I own a ttr 250 open enduro having some trouble with backfiring and some carb problems, it will run for a bit the all of a sudden stall ( with out choke ) if anyone could render some advice it would be greatly appreciated cheers, pat
Hello guys, I have got a question. Have any of you got a problem like me? Sometimes the kickstarter of my 1995 Open Enduro gets stuck and I cannot kickstart it. I only can start the engine using the starter button at such times. Checking the flywheel side I saw that the starter gear gets stuck sometimes....
Has anyone tried "redex" or similar addative to the fuel to lubricate valve guides.. Im still trying to pinpoint that noise from the top end.. Cam chain is worn abit and has that wooshing sound when running hot or cold...so is being replaced soon.. But this noise is a (rattle or tapping) that isnt there...
As the title suggests, my 1st ride on the TTR since I bought the WRR last Aug. Put rego on this morning & took it for a blast. Just like a old shoe...does most things pretty good. Taking the TTR up to the Flinders next month so thought it was best to give it a shake down The WRR yesterday, same spot Chee...
please can anyone urgently help me? I'm rebuilding the top half of my engine,, and have no idea for the torque setting (pressure) of the head bolts when I reassemble it, can't find a manual for pre 1999. And I'm out in the middle of Cambodia, so not easy to get anything, cheers for you help in this, heres ho...
My 04 TTR250 backfires through the carb at idle as it's idling down from sitting still and revving it or from just idling for more than five or six seconds it nearly blows the carb off the intake boot what could be the issue? I've read many things but I'd like to know some specific to this bike to check. S...
Having brought another tttr250 unfortunately its time to sell the honda xr400. The bike is a 1998 model with 16000km on the clock and in good condition which has been used as an introduction to trail riding and will be missed. I am looking for offers for around £1850 due to the mileage and the maintena...
my rear brake is very poor it locks the wheel for mot but at speed is very poor piston not siezed slider ok been out today to bed in new pads not very good
I've seen other people do it on the internet, but just wondering if its OK to cut off the fork gaiters and just run it with the bare fork? Ive been told that this will quickly lead to broken fork seals as dirt/debris gets in there that isn't protected by the gaiter anymore.. although I never ride trails on m...
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 guys,New to the forum,have a 2000 ttr 250. long storey due to theft recovery I have no more motor so looking to buy something complete. I'm in Canada so shipping would be a must. Let me know what you have. 1999-2006 should work. I ll rebuild it if I have too just trying to get her ready for this spring. Tha...
