Went out yesterday with a new guy ( hopes he will get on here soon and join the gang!) Alan from Cornwall. Met him at Hatherliegh and we had a chat about bikes. Now he comes from a trials background and had not been trail riding before, we talked about the TTR'S and he thought about getting a bigger bike soon...
Some of the older models such as the 4GY1 ran different teeth combinations to later engines. There was a 72T/20T (#4GY-15512-00-00) large idler gear which ran with a 16T/15T (part #4GY-15517-00-00) small idler gear. The large idler gear is no longer available from a Yamaha parts dealer in the UK alt...

Hi, I am usually pretty good at working out how long road tyres will last on bikes but I am still pretty new to this off road stuff. I have an Ac10 on the back of my TTR and it has about 10mm left on the centre blocks (it seems strange calling it tread). if I sort out some other issues with the bike I intend ridi...
eHelp my bike is making an ominous rattle. It sounds like the rear chain is knocking on the engine cases but it isn't because I have just put a new chain and sprockets (14/48) on. The noise seems to come mainly from the left side of the engine and originally seemed to only be when the bike was moving but n...

Open to sensible offers for this rare OEM part. -- Edited...
Okay, I took my engine out to take it to a shape to get my top end rebuilt. But not that I have it back, I'm having trouble figuring out the wiring. I have been looking at wiring diagrams, but I'm terrible at trying to figure out what I'm looking at. Im stuck, bring to figure out what this wire needs to be conn...

Greeting All So I finally got sick of not being able to reach the rear brake pedal without moving my foot forward I have pretty big feet and when standing on the balls of your feet (which I do all the time) there's no way you can reach the pedal When on tricky terrain or especially descents I just want to be ab...
Hi guys I have a ridiculous amount of stock of used parts - way more than Steve will be able to use - so watch out for forthcoming big price reductions under the used parts section of the Totally TTRs eShop and the promotions section I am offering a few used generator covers at a very special price of £60 -...

Hi everyone I am new to this site, I bought my ttr250 in February and rode it for about a month before doing a full strip down to it. Before the strip it was leaking creamy oil from the crankcase breather hose connected to the rocker cover. I hoped that the cleaning and replacing of everything would help ge...
