What was the occasion on October 1st 2013 when 12 members decided to log in at once?! It wasn't even a weekend it was a Tuesday.. Were they all signed in just to read Sidetrack magazine's TTR article? The most users that sign in these days seems to be 7 or 8 and that is only very occasionally...
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.
Hi. Looking for confirmation please. I have oil bubbling out around the exhaust clamp area , a very small amount but steady, and of course a degree of smoke as it burns off on the pipe. I have cleaned the area, well, replaced fhe little decomp hole plug, checked rocker gaskets, definitely no leaks th...

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...

I have seen a few threads on trying to track down an annoying engine ticking noise. One poster rebuilt the engine a few times before giving up! I have rebuilt and run my engine for a year now with an annoying ticking noise, so I don't think it's terminal. I have done a rebore with new piston, new cam chain, n...
