Regular forum readers will know of Robin Webb of Salt & Gold video fame. Anyways up, Robin has recently had his wheels rebuilt to take wider tyres and also rebuilt the seat himself to better suit his needs ahead of shipping it out to the USA for his next desert/mountain adventure in a few weeks time....
I bought some Aprilia RS125 three spoke wheels, because they're cheap and I'm poor at the minute, to fit to my TTR. I guessed from experience (having fitted the later Y-spoke wheels to a WR200) that the hubs would be skinny enough to fit in the TTR forks and swingarm and I was right- phew! You will also be a...
Looking for changed the steel Raid swingarm for a lighter alloy one. Anyone got one tucked away? Also need the longer axle bolt to go with it.. Regards, Malcolm.
Catch the Norwalk Virus (or Norovirus). I have lost over half a stone in the last couple of days. The downside is the projectile vomiting, pooing water with very little control over when and where, belching sulphur fumes and generally feeling rubbish Hope it goes away soon!!!!! Brian
I got my 2003 TTR250 last year for riding the trails near my cottage at Paudash Lake near Bancroft Ontario Canada. It is completely stock except for the Moose Racing skid plate and a small tie down rack for a tool kit. I like the stock 13/52 gearing and can't imagine going with a higher ratio like you guy...

Is it possible to change the valve stem seals with the head in situ (piston tdc of course)? How close is the piston/valve clearance at tdc to hold the valves in place? Has anyone tried? Cheers, Simon.

I have a 2000 TTR-250, and I have an engine knocking sound that seems to have come up on occasion over the last year or so. I haven't been riding much for the past year, but whenever I ride, I always hear this engine knocking sound that I can't seem to diagnose. The closest thing I can relate to the sound is s...
Evening all, Just taken my '94 TTR for a quick test run and its bogging under load, revs clean at standstill, good spark etc. The plug was black and the air filter clean. Not had chance to take the carb off as yet, but it was supplied with a competition exhaust that was taken off recently as its loud and a sta...

Hi Guys, Drowned my bike a little while back, did lots of oil changes and its running fine. Quite a bit of dirt etc got into the motor, most trapped by the filter, nothing 8 oil changes couldn't fix! Runs like a charm however I realise there is also a mesh screen near the oil pump. I am thinking I should tak...
I can't find a part # for the small bolt that holds the plastic chain slider in place (bolts to the swing arm from the side), nor could I find it on the TotallyTTR site or elsewhere, not even as part of a kit for the chain slider itself. Its always the little things ... . I've found two posts on replacing the...
