A very reluctant sale of my 1996 TTR OE, which has been owned for around 3 years. The bike has covered just under 30,000 miles as it's been used as a commuter prior to my ownership. I've only covered under 2000 miles since I took possession of the bike & it's been used on a mixture of roads/local green...
Hi, This isn’t about TTR’s as such, just a question about the forum usage. I have no idea if it is possible here on this great and good forum but on ‘other’ forums that I visit they sometimes have either links or buttons which allow you to ‘jump’ either to the last post of a topic or the bottom / top of the page...
I bought an Optimate III 14 years ago and it is still giving sterling service It came with a "permanent lead" which stays connected to the battery and has a waterproof connection that fits the Optimate lead. I found the box the other day with the original lead still in it and fitted it to my Golden Flash a...
Hi all, Recently picked up a very original 96 Raid from a nice chap down in Wales. First taste of a TTR250 (TT250R?) and loved every bit of the couple of hundred Km I've so far done. It will generally spend its lift pottering on the lanes of the North York moors although I am keen to put it through its paces i...
See https://www.ebay.com/itm/263318520195 This is THE magazine that I have been trying to find over a number of years! I believe it includes a tuning article for TTR250s and the index certainly bears out that The magazine is offered at $12 but shipping to the UK is a mahoosive $22.50 Is there a foru...
New decals came in the mail today & look pretty good. Tank is off & breathing, will clean & fit decals later in the week Instructions from Elite design :Hey Terry, Thanks for the email, the best way to prep the tank is to unbolt the tank and drain the fuel out, let it sit for 24hrs. Then clean...
I have a blue tank TTR and love it, and just beginning to understand what a brilliant all round motorcycle it is. I am looking to do the TET and hopefully longer trips, so wondering what people do to carry luggage. I intend to camp so tenting gear will also need to be carried. Thanks in advance. Ian
Hey guys, Mat here I have two broken mountings on my airbox, caused by a perished bump stop on the rear shock allowing the tire to grab the mudflap and rip the airbox downwards after what I presume was a totally sick jump (Thankyou previous owner). This is the top mounting. My plan was to heat the plastic a...
Does anyone have a Yamaha part number (and/or price) for the TTR decompressor kit please? I have "collected" a kit and have a buyer interested but can't find details on the web. No part number on the packets which is odd. Also, has anyone got a decompressor fitted and can tell me where the par...
Like many other users I have never really solved the problem of a dragging front brake on my TTR250, I have other bikes but have no problems with the brakes. I could service it, but it would soon start dragging again, wearing out pads & disc. I finally realized the problem could not be solved with the...
Hi all, We have made it to Boliva on this trip and are doing some of the best trails and unpaved roads on the trip so far! Sadly Robbie's ruined her old shock and it shot all the oil out, bit of a shame! Quite lucky it was now rather than in a few weeks time as we are planning on riding to Manaus, Brazil which is...
I have a 350 kit in my sticky mitts now and am really grateful to Simon (mossproof) who did all the hard work on getting the barrels cast and machined, the special pistons and gaskets made and building and testing the very first TTR350 in the world - cheers mate! See here. I have a good starting point for t...
Hello! I'm after a left hand side engine cover (the bit that houses the starter assembly) as mine has been smashed to bits by the starter assembly losing a tooth. Would also entertain a full bottom end if available- always useful!
Hi, I noticed an oil leak only when the bike was running. I think it's coming from the cover where the start connects to the engine. I've had a look at the O-ring and it appears to be fine but I've ordered a replacement anyway (2mm Section 76mm Bore NITRILE 70 Rubber O-Rings from Simply Bearings) to be on th...
Im in my 50’s and have wanted to get into riding off road for decades. I bought a 2005 TT R250 and it’s in excellent shape, seems perfect for power, but a little tall. I’m glad to see an active forum with so many of my questions already answered. I look forward to meeting the group virtually. I also bought...
Hi from SA! Been lurking on here for a while, however I never joined until I finally bought the bike. I have had a xr250, a yz250wr (rare road registered 2 stroke) and a affair with an italian beauty a tm racing 250 mx. After my friends got rid of their bikes I sold the TM. I then found myself in a mining town...
Hi All Trying to nut out the correct wiring for the Speedo, warning lamps, indicator and headlamp switches etc.... I don't have a genuine speedo on the bike and I am trying to wire up some warning lights, Ign, Lamps, Neutral etc... Have the workshop manual, yet other than the headlamp wiring I can't fin...
Hi all, Very reluctant sale of my 1996 Open Enduro. I only recently picked the bike up and never intended to part with it, however having been able to acquire something else that suits my needs better, I don't have room for two bikes! MOT until March 2024. 26,824 miles on the clock as this has been used in i...
A bit of a sad day really. My brother Trev and I have decided to hang up our riding boots for health reasons but thought we would have one last trail ride together on our local lanes. We didn't get many photos but it was a lovely day for it - dry but not too dusty. The overgrowth is starting to make itself known...
Am after some spare rims so I can chop and change between on and off road easier, wondering if Anyone knows where to buy any from, new or second hand. would even go a non stock wheel if fitting was not to bad, any thoughts? New to the page, had my TTR 1 year, it’s a 2011 model with 7k kms 😁😁

Howdy, Just joined and wanted a place to follow my bike. I had previous to me a 2001 TTR-225 and to be honest I loved it minus its lack of suspension. Wasnt fast but stone dead reliable in the woods. So I figured why not get the bigger better version of the 225. [url=https://flic.kr/p/2nrQbhs][img]http...
any one going to tt this year im going tomorrow 30th year 1 time to manx gp \ classic tt going again this year with son & grandson with honda c90\s again loved it so different
A simple tip that I got from Steve at Totally TTRs. Slip a rubber glove over the air intake when you are doing a full power wash Depending on how muddy the conditions are that you ride in, it is worth occasionally taking off the side panels, seat, rear mudguard, tank, battery box and headlight to give the...
Hi all I need an alu bash plate please for the 250. Anything considered. Home made or CRD etc. Or even a pattern to try to make one. Any thoughts? Collection in person preferred, I'm in Bristol, operating in south Wales a lot, sometimes Worcester region.
Hello there, I am the proud new owner of a 2000 TTR-250. Well, I actually purchased it as a gift for my son. He's been getting excellent grades at school and excelling at sports as well so I thought this would be a great way to reward him for all his hard work. Even though his friends ride (much) newer machin...
