Hi all, Long for something that's mechanically sound, but not really the best looking.. On the cheaper end of the price scale too :) If you have one, give me a shout please. Based in Manchester, but can travel for the right bike. Cheers Paul
Hey guys. I just picked up an '05 TTR 250 this past Wednesday (so I haven't had a chance to get a manual yet) and have a few questions. I was hoping to ride it tomorrow, but ran across a couple of issues when I started servicing it last night. When I started to clean the air filter, I noticed a couple of hoses a...

Anyone had this? When a mate's TTR gets hot (about 15 miles into a ride) a very loud screech starts in the clutch/gearbox area. The pitch changes as the gears are changed and it happens with the clutch fully engaged. I haven't heard it myself and was unable to replicate the noise when I took the TTR for a ru...
This photo has been added to my Black Museum folder! The current owner popped around tonight to pick up a new 50 pilot jet to replace this one. You just wonder how the previous owner had managed to do this damage Interestingly the TTR started and ran well at lower revs suggesting that the pilot jet con...
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. Yamaha wants to sell me a total...
See the last post for updated list Okay, yes, I know what this looks like. New member, second post on the fleamarket, trying to shift a bunch of parts. And it's an Australian, no less... Well, I hope the mods have mercy, and believe me when I say I am legit, I have been lurking here for some time, and I do h...

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...
SO FOLLOWING A PREVIOUS THREAD I HAVE BROUGHT SOME YZFR125 WHEELS AS THERE THE SAME FIT AS THE DT WHEELS I HAVE HAD THE WHEEL SPACERS MADE UP FOR THE FRONT AND THE BRAKE CALLIPER MOUNTINGS BUT WHAT EXACTLY DO I NEED TO DO TO THE REAR SPACERS? COULD SOMEONE SEND ME THE DIMENSIONS SO I CAN HAVE SOME MADE UP
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...
Joined Devon TRF a few weeks ago after Brain's suggestion got myself a TTR250 Looking forward to learning to ride it.... and of course advice from this forum.
Some of the best maintenance guide videos I have come across. Think they may well be handy for some people. May add more to these and perhaps you have suggestions too. [video=http...
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...
