On my last ride I noticed when I shifted from first to second my clutch handle would stay held in. 100% sure I'm clicking all the way up to second Clutch cable operates just fine so I think its internal Any ideas? should I be concerned? Thanks
Hi from the often most liveable city Melbourne! Well I finally got around to joining the forum, not because I finally bought a TTR250, I’ve owned mine since June 2003! But I thought I better write up some stuff before it dies (do TTRs ever die?) or before I sell it. Wait, what sell it? Maybe might just have...
Good day all, my name is Alex I am from Ontario canada I started riding dirt bikes on a 2006 TTR250 that was owned by a friend. that was about 10 years ago this past December I purchased the bike off my friend as a back up bike to my 2015 Beta 250rr. my hopes are for my son to upgrade to the TTR from his Honda CRF...

Hi all, I picked up a 2004 TTR 250 a few weeks ago. My intent was to have a temporary ride that I could use to putt around with my kids as they have bikes of their own but the more I dig into the TTR the more I enjoy it and might hold onto it longer than I anticipated. I found this site and others while searching fo...

Yes, that's right. Another one. I bought a used TTR-250, a 2005 model, a bit over a year ago. The basic bike is a ripper, but as soon as you have to work on them it quickly becomes apparent that an XR it certainly isn't. Still, it's a nice ride. I just fitted a 21 litre Acerbis tank, so the front suspension is n...
Blue model 35,000km with little dirt work but i do get up it through the gears on the road at times. oil changed every 1,500-2,000 kms , although i dont know the first 10,000 km history of the bike. Will try and explain the noise. Bike starts from cold and runs great with a 5min warm up at idle(no noises). As...

Looks like I need a sprag clutch, idle gear and started motor :( Any one got any of these parts and willing to sell, I have read it is best to buy a brand new sprag clutch.
I need to replace the gasket on the right-hand side of the engine case because it leaks oil. Do I need anything to stick the gasket down or do I just throw it on and put the case on?

With rain & storms forecast & SA Police putting out hidden radars in the hills it was ideal to take the WRR out ( 3 week & the TTR will have rego again) Dry weather road with me talking Cheers Terry
I was just stripping out a cylinder head tonight and found a couple of very odd "things" under an exhaust valve - see photos below. I thought first off they were shells but I crushed them and the walls were thick and crumbly - almost like rotten wood. Any ideas what they are or were? Brian
Just an idea, how about a sub forum just for product reviews. Users could leave feed back on products they use or have tested. Opinions on stuff like bike gear, eg tyres, hydration packs, gear bags, helmets, gloves, goggles etc. I see there is one for GPS helmet cams etc but that topic is a bit limited....
