I bought a Raid with a damaged engine to use as a project but have decided that I have enough projects backed up already so I am breaking it for spares. If you need any parts please email me here and I will reply with a quote to include carriage costs. Brian
I noticed that I had a little petrol come out of this hole When I turned the fuel on. I had only just cleaned the carb it stopped after a few secs and hasn't done it since. as you sit on the bike this hole is on the right hand side of the carb on the bottom of the float bowl. I think it's for a pipe I didn't see a pipe o...

Hi all, new TTR owner, first question! I'm going trail riding in the Alps in 2 weeks time, I've been doing it for years, mainly BMW airheads, XT600's and Dominators.Some of the trails can get quite technical but there have always been many hands to help manhandle heavy bikes. Any road, this year I deci...

Hi all - I recently joined this great forum and am looking for a TTR to buy. Needs to be a blue one and located in the SE (I'm in Surrey). Anything considered. Thanks, Dave
Hi all - I've recently bought a TTR. Went to change the oil and was unhappy to see the level was v low (prob about 500ml) and old and black. Nothing bad on the sump plug or in the filter (filter had some silver deposits - like you see on a bike's first service). Bike seems to run ok-ish but wondered if there's a...
So I got a new spring for my foot peg but it was still loose. I noticed the pin that goes through the footpeg was flapping about inside the holes on the lug which the peg attaches to. So I looked at it and thought what could I do to fix it? So this is what I did... Found a perfect size bolt that fitted in the hole....
Subject line lays it out there. I'm based in East Vancouver, have a cabin on Anderson Lake, and a trailer. My TTR is dual-sported RUM bike, street legal. I'd rather not ride the Sea to Sky or the freeway out of town. Interested in trips from my cabin, Harrison Lake, Eastern Fraser Valley, South Chilcoti...
I wanted to know if people prefer the standard silencer? Does it really restrict the bike? i am asking because for greenlaning I much prefer being as quite as possible. I have an FMF Q which I find if pretty fruity... the standard silencer appears to be the quietest pipe for the TTR Does it work ok?
Hi to all, a question about throttle/carburettor, when i let the throttle go when riding to seems to stick and does not close fully unless that you really twist it closed and it feels notchy when it is almost closed, is it the cables or the carburettor which is at fault? It's a right pain when riding it...
Does anyone know of a good carburettor reconditioning company in the uk, has anyone used a specific company to carry out any work? I am thinking of getting mine reconditioned if it's possible. Cheers John

Recent rear tyre and chain and sprockets. Front tyre is OK for now but will need replacing in the not too distant future. if I were keeping it I wo...
Hi everyone. I bought a 2002 model last year in complete pieces (engine the lot) and am just about to fire it up. All I need is to set the valves and the shims were missing. I had the head reconditioned but I would like to know what valve shim specs everyone is running so I can set the valve clearances as a star...

Question.... Is it normal for the clutch to be affected by overheating the bike on trails like this? A few times now, in tough conditions, I have felt the clutch springs lose some tension. Before I changed out the clutch parts, I had an incident where in snow and mud, the clutch gave out completely and f...
