Now on eBay: To my dismay I have just found out that my bike was classed as an insurance category D total loss in March '09. I entered details into Autotrader to sell the bike and found out this information. I never done a check before I bought it and have now done so with HPIcheck. Here is an excerpt: Aler...
My TTR isn't starting and low on compression - 50 to 60 psi so I took it all apart both cylinder head and barrel etc but without dismantelling the valves - wasn't brave enough and couldn't find a 'sticky' from Brian. Replaced the gaskets and re timed the lot and no improvement (I'm no mechanic) so either i...

Hey everyone! Just joined the forum. Riding a "rat rod" 99, in the process of making it street legal. Low miles, but spent too much time sitting outside a barn in the sun . Look forward to sharing what I know and learning from others.
Wanted to know if anyone could point me in the direction of some electrical specs. I'll be wiring a horn and H4 headlight into my bike as part of the process of making it street legal. I'd like to wire it up to an ignition killed harness instead of tying it all into the battery. Any experienced advice...

Hiya, I've just registered. I thought it polite to say hello rather than lurk I haven't got a TTR yet, I'm looking for a good plastic tank model, and when I do find one I'll no doubt have loads of questions. I quite fancy some spare 17" wheels too.
Hi All, I bought my 1994 TTR 250 Open Enduro last year but despite having ridden off road since I was a kid, I only just got my licence. My bike needs a couple of jobs doing to it, biggest one being replacing the fork seals, and an MOT, then we're good to go. Hopefully I can get some help and advice from you guys...

I replaced the fork seals a few months ago. Went for a few rides. No oil loss. Having not used the bike for a couple of weeks I gave it a quick check before going on holiday (on another bike) no issues. Returned from holiday to find about an egg cup full of oil had leaked from one leg? I gave it a clean. Went for a...

Just bought a used TTR250 for my birthday last week. Turned 49 and decided it was time to get back on a bike, havnt been on one since I was 18. After all the research I did the TTR was chosen. This one is a 2006 with 5500 kms on the clock. Seems pretty tidy.

I was road riding with my son three weeks ago when a car U-turned suddenly and T-boned him. I got a terrible shock; perhaps even more than if it had happened to me. He was badly bruised with some fractures in his left hand and the bike was written off. He is fine now and has gotten back full movement in his le...
