Nothing unusual cropped up in this restoration so I haven't posted about it before. It's another frame-up rebuild starting with a shot blasted and powder coated frame. It's got a US silencer on it which has quite a deep throated note but is not offensively loud
The notorious stock Allen head bolts are known to be a PITA and strip easily. An excellent and easy replacement is the bolts that connect the fuel tank main bracket to the fuel tank (blue/plastic). They are exactly the same size, have a normal 8mm hex head, and have the same coating on them (phosphate?)...
I live in a really scenic area, 9 miles from my house is a place called Loch Doon, there is a nice drive/ride up from Stration up the forest drive and in to Loch Doon, 8 miles of forestry roads then on to proper tarmac through the Loch, only manage to take a few pictures today.

Replacing fork seals is a relatively straightforward job but I had forgotten how messy it can be! No matter how carefully I drain the oil there always seems to be a residue that comes out to attack me I got a few pairs of forks that I am going to fit new seals to etc so that they can go into stock and I am think t...
My bike came fitted with hazard lights, the switch to turn them on and off had a fault and sometimes the lights came on due to road vibration and would refuse to go off, today on my way home this happened, quiet country roads so i just kept going, i had ordered a new left hand switchgear from Brian last month...

The question has often been asked if OE and Raid seats and tanks were swappable. Well, I had one of each models side by side in the garage today so thought I would try out a swap. This is an Open Enduro with a Raid tank and seat. You can see that it is quite a good fit despite the extra width of the Raid seat at the...
Hi, I have an issue with the indicator warning light which flashes on and off as soon as you turn the ignition off. it did this when I first picked up the bike even though it had no indicators, one of the previous owners had put insulating tape over it. It is a white OE model but I have replaced the switchg...

OK - I am getting to the end of updating the FAQ and have come across this entry: When it all goes wrong! If anyone knows of a repair shop that has particular expertise with TTR engines please e-mail me with details. In the UK, the Yamaha Technical Hotline number is 01932 358 065 - very helpful apparent...
A simple question. If I open the engine, what more pieces should I change? Including all the gaskets. If somebody can make me a list and where I can find them, it would be good. I have forgotten for many time this problem in my TTR and probably I should not forget it forever.
I have been contacted this morning by an owner who lives in Vietnam. See his message below:"Do you have any idea what might be wrong with my bike. When I START the bike, it occasionally makes a very loud clunk or even double-clunk noise the second it actually starts running. The noise seems to come...

I bought this driver when I was planning to fit WR250 forks to my TTR - which didn't happen. The forks have been sold but I still have the driver here. I know that some of you have fitted WR forks or have other dirt bikes so have a look at my eBay advert here. Many thanks Brian
