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...
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...
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...
Funny what you come across on ebay, anyone seen one of these before? Clicky tried to add a link , but still can't get that to work -- Edited by ttr steve on Saturday 8th of April 2023 06:52:33 PM

Flinders ranges 2017, we had 3 TTR's 2021 Port Hughes trip 2021 day ride...
It would be good to find a car areosol that matched the purple OE frame paint fairly closely. Anyone managed to find one please? I think I may have found a car aerosol to match the blue metallic frames but will let you know when I have tried it Brian
My bike really runs perfect , but when I go down steep hills (like so steep I'm skidding on two wheels and really cant stop) , the bike will flood out , I have to open the throttle a bit to get to start again. I really don't know what it could be , possibly float level ? I have never had an issue like this with any o...
Hello all, New member. I just picked up a 2004 TTR250. I haven't ridden the bike yet. Going through it now. It has a mangled carburetor, PO broke float bowl post and I'm working on that. Anyways I have another issue I think. See below. I see a lot of threads about draining battery with key off but my...
A couple of years ago I fitted the ebc heavy duty cluch . I'm finding the lever pull too firm . Anyone tried going back to original springs with the new plates
Hello.I ordered some parts including handlebar risers and the longer clutch cable.The only thing i havent found out is if the stock brake line is still ok with the risers.Do i have to route it different?Thanks
Has anyone done a conversion to fit a WR dash to a TTR? I purchased a dash last year & mounted it, but haven’t gotten around to figuring out how to get it working any ideas? Does the WR run a pickup via a disk mountEd magnet or run a digital pickup in a housing similar to the analog cable one? see below...
Good evening- long time lurker first time caller poster! I'm Nev and this is me and my '94 Raid: I bought it late last year from a bloke in Wales who also had a blue tanked TTR as my path into trail riding. Since then, i've done my DAS and spent quite a few wet weekends out on the lanes of Lancashire and Yorksh...
I recently bought my first TTR OE (through the forum and from member Rob). I took it out on it's first outing recently and i'm surely converted! Now, I'm 6"5 and about 100KG and wondered if any one had advice for modifications for a vertically abnormal height such as mine? My local garage pumped up the f...
Hoping for a quick answer since I have yet to dl a shop or Haynes manual... I'm planning to order a hydraulic pressure switch for my rear brake light, and I'm seeing two different thread pitches available... .0 and 1.25. Does anyone know the thread pitch offhand? Replacing this part on the bike- Part...
About to start a top-end rebuild on my '06 U.S.-spec TT-R250. I've done a limited degree of poking around and haven't found many complete kits (piston, rings, gaskets, etc.), but I do see the Wossner piston kit and Athena gasket kits via several sources including TotallyTTRs, plus a few other option...
My standard exhaust on white oe has a hole by mounting bracket nr header pipe. It's been welded up twice. So looking for a fairly cheap replacement. I've seen posts about yz 250 r silencer but is it an easy fit? I've also seen an American ttr exhaust on eBay . I'd love one of the stainless ones from totally t...

Any ideas on Spring rate calculations? I’m prob just under 75kg with full gear, I’m running a 20L tank, & max 20kg luggage with tools / spares. I’m going to work on 100kg - 105kg rider weigh, what rates for the springs you think are the ideal rate? cheers
