I bought this stub from eBay a long time ago as the original Yamaha part was silly money - over £40 at the time I think - but didn't realise until much later that it was manufactured in reverse. It fits fine and will do the job except that the carb locator spigot jobby is 180 degrees out! Easy enough to overc...
Can't seem to find a previous thread on this....I realise that the forks must be part dismantled to a certain degree to fit new gaiters but which is the easiest way? Bike is a 1998 OE.......thanks!
Hi everyone So I recently bought a ttr and the previous owner had the suspension to a very soft setting. This resulted in the rubber at the bottom of the rear shock that prevents the bike from bottoming out (dont know if im explaining it wrong im a newbie) getting quite worn.

Hello everyone. my bike restoration project seems becoming a "Winter project in a Tropical country" After cleaning and gently grinding in the valves, I found that exhaust ones are out of specification. I will need to order a new set and cut the valve seats to fit the specs. Then it will b...

Oh dear - I should pay more attention when ordering genuine Yamaha parts - I just tend to re-order without checking unit prices as they rarely change - just had a shock The price of seats has risen by 70% and carb inlet stubs by a mahoosive 138% I took it up with my supplier as I thought mistakes had been ma...

Whenever I think a customer can't surprise me any more, I get one that does! Turns out that TTR250 owner Chris Hayden developed a Vincent 1000 to race at the Isle of Man TT and took the lap and race records for a Vincent in 1988. This is him in action below Chris said the hardest part was that his Vincent...

Hi everyone Not new to owning a TTR250 but I have just started rebuilding one that was a non-runner and sat in pieces for a few year in my dad's shed. I have found the wealth of knowledge on here extremely valuable. Here is how I received the bike:- The engine is in another box of bit not in the picture. I look...

Hi folks. My TTR had a Supertrap? silencer fitted when I got it, which sounded a bit naff and I didn't like the look of. So I looked around and found this YZ 250 F Exhaust on our friendly auction site for about £40 So set about cutting it down to fit. cut the header end off about right (does fit, but may cut off...
