i was changing the oil and found the bike had a washable metal mesh oil filter, i had the wrong filter sent so cleaned it and stuck it back in, are these any good? I can see the benefits for touring where you only need to find oil but i would thinkna standard filter would catch smaller particles
Took advantage of the cool day and had a few hours out in the forest it's been raining over the last couple of weeks so theres even a bit of mud . The tracks were nice and grippy with a couple of hills being a bit too wet and halted forward progress .it was my first ride on a new Pirelli mt21 on the back which is g...
Got out and about today as was nice and mild and not raining. Bloody good ride was a lot of deep sticky clay mud about which made sliding about in it fun. My bike decided to cut out everytime I entered water, water was getting in under the HT cap, and my mates chain snapped on a jungley clay mud hillclimb type...

Hello, Yesterday the rear shock collapsed whilst riding (on road) and has sheared, does anyone know where I can get one from as the Yamaha garage where I get the bike serviced couldn't order one?

Hi, I picked up a TTR that I bought through the forum from Lee in Essex (Thanks a lot), rode it back to Derbyshire on Christmas Eve and after spending yesterday fitting a lowering link took it down some lanes in the Peaks.

Hi, I jsut got a 93 TTR two weeks ago and I'm doing a few jobs on it, well a few jobs in fact! One thing is it has a 'TwinAir' air filter which looks in good condition but is dripping with a blue oil. Is this filter oil? If so is it over-oiled? Can I clean the filter and if so how? Any help appreciated Thanks! APW

Ours needs a rebuild, is there one off another bike that would be considered an upgrade? Or is a rebuild a better idea, also I have read somewhere the enduro version has a higher seat height is this due to the suspension or just the seat? a bit more height wouldn't go a miss and if it's only a change of linkag...
