I haven't been having a lot of success with easy outs recently so I took great delight in successfully removing a stuck caliper pin this afternoon - little things eh? Shame the pins seem to be made of cream cheese
Hey everyone I am posting in need of help with my TTR250. I recently got a TTR 250 about late summer of 2015 it is a 1999 bought brand new by the previous owner (my grandfather) in 2003.

Hello guys. So I have decided to replace my Raid headlights with a lighter one for easier wheelies and better handling - the thing must weight 15 kilos! Parts here are rare so I thought I might use a XR250 headlight since they are plentiful. Will this work? Will I still be able to use the big 55W bulb? Als...
Robin Webb of the Salt and Gold DVD fame has been creating. This time modifying a rear rack to fit on the front of his TTR325.

Snail chain adjuster is way back o...

Hey guys, When I bought my Raid, I also got given a set of what I believe are the open endure front forks. They have the little air nipple at the top. My question is, are their any differences between the two apart from this air nipple and which set are better? Is it worth me swapping over the OE ones?

This maybe the problem, i have not had the clutch plates off as yet, but that large cog behind the clutch plates wobbles by hand. These scrapes on t...
So recently my Raid developed these problems. I guess it is time for valve clearance adjustment/ shim replacement? - Lots of blue smoke when cold starting, hard to start after sitting for 10- 12 hours. My guess is the oil leaking into the piston during the night. - Loud clicking noise for 2-3 minutes af...

Finished my first top end rebuild and decided to go the first oversize rebore. Ive been changing some things on my TTR in my spare time. Was pretty much trying to get it looking less like an older bike. Bought a new condition WR450f headlight to fit up. Masking tape on wheels to paint the rims black. Headl...
