What are those spoke wrench sizes needed for the TTR wheels? The one in the TTr toolkit is not much cop(cheaply made and does not fit the front) so I would like to buy new one/ones.
Not much to say really. It was recently removed from a Raid whose engine had blown and that I broke for spares. I have cleaned it up a bit and checked the bearings. They aren't perfect but have no discernible play so I reckon they are good to go again. £18 plus carriage - priced to sell! See here
I am going through the box of spares from the Raid I broke for spares and can offer this front mudguard for sale. It has a few scratches from use but is in pretty good shape and ready to fit and use. I have added it to the eShop at £24 plus carriage - see here What next? Sell the bigger bits first - I could do with...
Hi all - another question from me regarding my recently purchased TTR. There's more vibrations than I expected at higher revs. I've done basic checks for loose bolts/nuts etc. Is there anything else I should check ? What's the 'standard' for the bike in terms of smoothness across the revs ? It's felt t...

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...
Hello from West Wales. New to biking (last 12 months). Just sold my Transalp as I want something smaller and have the ability to do a few green lanes. Rich.
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've just bought a '93 TTR to stick on the back of my van as I'm trail riding in the Alps in July I will no doubt be picking many brains! I already have one question which I'll be posting shortly. All the best Mike
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
Probably a long shot, but does anyone have or know of a good secondhand carburettor for sale, i am stuck for one for a 1996 OE TTR 250 the metal tank one. Give me a shout if anything turns up. Cheers Regards John.
New job, no time, so unfortunately my 2005 TTR 250 has to go. MOT to March 2016, well maintained but showing the usual bumps and scrapes for a 10 year old bike. 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...
Okay I have my supermoto wheels dt rear straight fit and front took a bit of jiggery pokery with spacers but really simple fit a caliper extension that is being made by a local firm for 20 beers however having nice wheels has made me realise my frame needs a good paint. What is a good couler match? For touch...
Lots of info on matching the frame paint... Has anyone found a paint match for the Yamaha blue thats used on the plastic panels/tanks... Need to paint the new rally screen on my XT660R after the 120kph/gravel road/blind corner/shut gate incident..
