Just bought '55 plate (pics in new joiners) and I noticed the h/l bulb was gone when I picked it up so the garage fitted a new one. Now I notice that has gone already, after just ~100 miles. Any faults I should look for or are they a bit prone to going? All other electrics work fine. Thanks
Just joined as bought myself a 1997 TTR250 as wanting to start and have a go at some green lane riding. Only a short arse so will be looking for a spare seat to thin out padding of seat.
Had a bit of luck today at Kempton park autojumble. I found an nos original L/H Yamaha mirror for my TTR oe Project. The real lucky part was that it was on my own stall. Will look again tomorrow at Ardingley autojuble for the otherside
I have be thinking of selling my white and red TTR OE for a while now, It is mot's till September 2017, just a tad over 20k on the clocks, it has the speedo drd fitted and will come with a wired in Road Angel gps, Glass blue model headlight in original oe surround, with 2 led lights, one on full bean and one on...
Went around to see the TTR Guru (Bri) yesterday and found his new shiny retirement chair But he was not there?? Now where was he? Oh yeah here Repairing some swing arms for the shop! Ha! No such luck retiring then Bri has started a thread about checking you swing arms http://ttr250.activeboard.com/t...
I had a bit of a sort out of my stock of used swingarms yesterday and it is probably worth posting another bit of strong advice to save owners money and time down the line. Check your chain slider - green plastic part that fits over the end of the swingarm near the front sprocket. It wears underneath so migh...
Like a lot of people, I am a sucker for the kits that Aldi and Lidl offer. I bought a kit that included what should be a very useful wire brush but, within a few minutes, it shed all of its wires! Is there a make or brand of accessories that might last a bit longer please? Brian
Anyone get that gratted feel when the pull in the clutch lever , ( one or two clicks /grate sound) had mine apart and the cable and pivot area were already well lubed , but i cleaned the clutch lever pivot and relubed cable and pivot again. (Theres was no gratting for about 100 pulls i guess ) but now its bac...
So I took my £800 1993 ttr of indeterminate mileage out for a 60 ish mile run including green lanes and 60mph b roads last sunday. It seemed to run fine and once warm started almost instantly however at high revs and on overrun there was a tinny rattle. So with some free time yesterday I popped the cam cover...
no longer using the TTR to commute to work bought a set of Michelin Ac10 tyres which i got fitted last week. Only because other forum members have said they suit the bike. pretty big change from the Kenda k761 dual sport tyre which i had front and rear. On the way to the bush it was pouring rain and i felt conf...
I have had a set of ac10 thongs for over 20 years so for my sons 20th birthday today I knocked up a set of Pirelli MT 21 thongs (flip flops ) -- Edited by ttboof on Monday 17th of October 2016 07:47:01 AM
Hey, Should my bike start in any gear with the clutch engaged? I can only get the electric start to work if the bike is in neutral? Just wondered if this was the case with these bikes? Thanks PS. see pic for a very overgrown lane that I fell off in yesterday! The brambles hurt!
hi all, I was as totally ruining a thread about hand guards by discussing ce approved gear so thought I'd start a new thread with some resources on finding your way through the quagmire that is motorcycle clothing certification. In the hand guards thread I stated this: - start quote I'm a safety nerd...
Hi folks! I'm new to the site. I own a 2005 Yamaha TT-R 250. Hoping we can be a happy group members and sharing the same interest here as i do . Thanks for letting me join. Kind regards Martin
I finaly had enough of chasing the front end "washing out" never liked the AC10 front.. When I bought it I knew it wasn't going to be much good but the guy gave me a good deal on a AC10 front & rear... AC10 rear is magic like having black glue on the rim... I never buy tyres with the nobbs in line once they st...
Just been out for a quick blast on my new (to me) TTR250, Steve and Brian, you were right....it's brilliant!!! thanks for the advice both cheers TTRevor
Currently rebuilding an engine and the main bearings are a bit "lumpy". Surfaces have gone grey and there are marks where it looks like swarf has been crushed into the surface. Anyway, I notice a slight difference in the numbers on the bearngs. Both are Koyo 63/28-3, but the left hand one also has SH sta...
