Hi guys, I am collecting a 1993 TTR tomorrow. I have just sold my XT225 Serow as it was too small and a little too slow for what I want to use it for off-road. A friend of mine has a lovely 93 TTR and I came by one almost identical, albeit needing a lot of work. The engine is rattle-free and mostly it needs a total...
After trying, unsuccessfully, to modify the original loom the bikes sat for over a year. I finally decided to try and sort it so now im looking for a complete loom. Anyone have one?..
So my TTR's engine area has developed a loud squawking noise after an extended period of main road riding and the engine gets hot. When I pull the clutch in the noise disappears immediately, and immediately returns when let back out again. But if I pull over briefly and pull the clutch in thus letting th...
My bike was blowing a lot of oil smoke out the exhaust. I put new valve stem seals in and checked the piston and rings. All seemed ok, so reassembled, but the bike is still burning a lot of oil. Compression test is 150 psi. What would be the next thing to check? The valves all looked ok, apart from the exh...

Thought I'd post about drowning my bike a few months ago. These bikes must be tough. Dropped my bike in a massive mud hole, got the front and rear wheels in different ruts and over we went. I'm the kind of person that takes all the tools/spares on a ride and am fairly fussy with my bike maintenance. I am usu...
All photos that i have posted have been done on an iphone5. Im starting to think its the data size. Any photo under 1Mb seem to be the right way up. Before it allows me to post a photo it tells me the data size...... Say 875 KB (post that size its good). Post photo say size 2MB. And sideways it goes.
This TTR i got with a blown motor and no history with the bike. All i know it was sitting in a workshop for ten years after he smashed the piston. The fuel tank came with the petc--k removed. Tank has a strong wierd smell. Like oil/diesel / plastic. This oil looking stuff is leaking after tank was sitting in...
Hi all, My recent trip to Albania made obvious to me the necessity of having a kickstarter for doing serious stuff. Anyone has a full kit and is willing to ship it to Poland, at reasonable price? My wife's brother lives in Portsmouth and visits Poland from time to time, so shipping to him is an option too....

could any of the lads put me onto the best Yamaha bike breakers in the U.K who specialise in Yamaha. I'm after a fuel tank for a 1987 SRX 600 that a mate owns down here in OZ. thanks lads.
Dont know any history on this TTR , picked it up for the wheels and other items. Engine oil is full , but that could have been filled after the explosion. Barrels been honed and looks ok but im no mechanic. Any ideas what may have happend.
So, shortly after resolving my engine ping/knock sound by replacing the carbuerator joint, me and my brother on an identical 2000 TTR-250 went on a 3 day trail with a couple trucks called the Dusy Ershim in Northern California. Exactly half way through the trail with about 15 miles to civilization...
Hello, Do you have any trouble with the split link on the bikes? I was surprised to see one mine. Cheers Bill -- Edited by masterbill on Sunday 11th of October 2015 04:51:55 PM
Hi everyone, I just bought a TTR 250 and I need to lower it. I am going to fit a kouba link (and scoop out the seat). I am wondering if the bike would handle best if I also fit handlebar risers, so that I can lower further the front forks? I have been lowering many bikes over the years (starting with my 2 Versy...
