Hi I'm Shane and I live in Texas. I found your forum because I bought a non running TTR250. It's supposed to be a 1980s model and I plan to tear it down and rebuild it. the first thing I need is a manual so if anyone has a suggestion or link on where to get one I appreciate the help !
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...

Thanks for welcoming me to the group I recently picked up a 1999 from a co-worker of mine. From my knowledge the bike has sat outside exposed to the elements of the harsh Texas seasons for over 4 years. Anxious to see what condition it was really in so the next day I brought it home and did nothing more than d...
Hey! I was wondering if anyone knew what jets (pilot and main) would work most efficient at 7000ft above sea level. I dropped the needle down two notches in the carb but it still sputters at high rpm and i can not get full power. Let me know your guys opinion!!
Hi All, My name is Josu, I live near San Sebastian in Basque country and I am the proud owner of a ttr 250 (2002). I bought it last year and I'm enjoying it since the first day. It's my first "dirt bike" 13/48 sprocket, rhino racing exhaust and lowered seat (thinking to install a ttr lowering li...
Hello- I now have a Raid and need another one or an older OE... I'm not too worried about the overall condition or if it has or does not have a current MOT. Proof of ownership is however essential. Area (Location) is not important- I have a friend with a van or if it is lawful to ride...the sheer stupidity to...
So my bike was getting hard to start from cold checked compression it was done so new piston and rings have been fitted valves relapped new stem seals timing chasing and cam drive gears built up and runs great once warm so I stripped the carb cleaned everything and rebuilt still the same I have noticed th...
does anyone use a flush product when doing an oil change? I read in the manual it says not to use any additives as it could affect the clutch operattion and cause slippage. thoughts?

Went to go for a morning road ride and a flat rear tyre suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Looking at the TTR parked ready for me to take the bike cover off And it was flat as flat can be. Sunday morning here so no chance of a repair till tomorrow. Does this look like a classic tube pinch Or maybe a tyre lever pin...

This was posted in an old TTR250 facebook page that hasnt been used since 2012. I throw a few pics in now and again on the :post to page section: The idea of the pic may work ok.
Ok Guy's and maybe girls? If any one is interested, I would be happy to lead a ride out on Saturday (so pug does not have to buy shoes for swmbo) on the 1st of august. Will be limited to 7 riders, plus me.Starting at my place 9am sharp, plenty of parking or camping, if you are coming from afar? You would be wel...
Just in case any of you have thought about adding one of these to your stable there are some pics and links below.. I quite like them actually. I have read that the pre 2004 ones have ohlins suspension, but the post 2004 ones have a leccy start.. Has anyone on here owned one? https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Hi all, just got a 2003 blue TTR250, no photos as yet, live near a beach and the lincolnshire wolds and got it to play in both, will probably need some info about these bikes in the near future and thought this would be the place to ask, cheers, Mark.
Raid tanks are a cheap upgrade to get almost double the capacity of the OE metal tanks. They have a capacity of 16 litres.This one has quite a crease but is petrol tight and the bottom looks very solid. I haven't tried it but the crease may possible be "blown" out by pressurising the tank else...
Guys, I acquired a 99 ttr 250 that needs a lot of attention. It appears the rod bearing burnt up and there is all kinds of metal shavings in the oil. I have been working on tearing down the engine. I was trying to take the rotor off without the sheath holder and the monkey wrench I was using dug into the met...
Fed up with the chain rattling against the Case Saver, but not wanting to lose that bit of protection: I changed from 14/50(3.57:1) to 13/46(3.53:1), there's no noticeable difference in the overall ratio, the bike rides just the same, but, thankfully, the rattle has gone. Incidentally, 14/50 need...
