Weather was going to be dry, so the forecast said, with chance of a shower in the afternoon, so the plan was to head out from base camp ie Crediton in Mid Devon and head out towards Honiton and then down to Ottery St Mary then Exeter and back to base camp staying well off any main roads. Kick off time was set f...
As above, my TTR starts and idles very well, i can even get it to idle very slowly and it ticks over lovely. But just above idle it seems slightly hesitant, this will be a pain when riding off road. Other than this it revs cleanly through the rev range as it should. Iv'e put the standard exhaust back on incas...
Good morning gentleman, I'm sure more than one of us have seen this issue. My graphics have bubbled and pushed away from the tank. I have accepted that this is unavoidable unless I drain the tank after a ride. Not so easy for you road warriors. My question is, does anyone know a way to remove the "bro...
Had my weekend knock around the lanes and I stuck to higher ground well up the river as the TRF Devon are running there AXE to EXE event. we have had a wee bit of a dry spell. and the lack of wet mud is not the norm for this time of year it's so dry we are getting dust.
We trailered the bikes up to the Flinders Ranges for 5 days of riding dirt roads, gravel roads, gorges, Public access roads & farm tracks, we did just over 1000kms over the 5 days & had a ball. I going to share some videos & photos of our trip Cheers Terry [video=https://www.youtube.com/w...
ive decided to thro the towel in and put it up for sale as spares or repares i took it out green laning last September when I called in for fuel I came back out turned the key nothing the lights came on but when I turned the key the lights dimmed, I managed to bump the bike ride it home about 55 miles the put it awa...
Looking back through my tracklogs I discovered that I haven’t been on a trail ride since October 2014. I knew it had been a while but that’s ridiculous!Anyways up, my mate Steve (KTM250) invited me out on a short morning ride from Exmouth to check out some East Devon lanes prior to the Devon TRF Group’s A...
Trev and I went along to the start of Day Two of the Axe-to-Exe as we were reserve run leaders. Happily all the run leaders turned up so we weren't needed I had put a route for the "Tiverton loop" on my GPS just in case I had to lead a group. Not knowing what lanes they would have ridden in East Devo...
Life getting in the way, I havent been able to get away for a weekend for months so I was really pleased to finally get away on my New To Me TTR. Dave is so chuffed with his TTR and the great adventures he has had on his little bike that he decided to organise a rally celebrating the "Tiddler" and ra...
Hi there I have recently acquired a 1994 TT250R to ad to my riding stable. (There is currently 9 bikes in the shed) and I am in love with my new little beastie. I was looking for a bike which I could ride on and off road as well as it having to be a 4 Stroke and nice and light and easy for me to handle. Although I ma...
Newbie to the forum so thanks in advance. Grabbed a local 250 that was lightly used and a garage queen. Ran like crap though as the pilot jet was clogged. Anyway 2 questions: 1) bottom rebound of rear shock has no set consistent "clicks" just spins and occasionally there's a click! Do the cli...
Hi Brian. it wont let me sign into the shop. Ive redone my email adress and password. This is what keeps coming up. It was working fine about a week ago. Im doing this on an iphone. Thnx.
After dousing the exhaust nuts and studs for a couple of weeks I tried to loosen them off today. One moved quite easily however the other was really rusted. I had to hammer on an 11 mm socket but to my relief it is coming off. The studs are coming out with the nuts so will need to contact Brian with a list of ite...
I managed to get my bro' out trail riding today - his first ride since August last year We pretty much covered the same route that SteveH and I rode last Saturday so not much to add other than I was glad to be leading coz there is very little mud or water left in the lanes and the dust was rising! Pic taken in th...
i was out on the trails late last year when I stopped to admire the views near Alston when I went to start it was jammed, the lights were dimming when trying to start, I managed to bump the bike finish my ride, I cleaned it up put it away for another day, with work and winter yesterday I manage to take the star...
Hello guys. Last week I rode my Raid 1996 to a cement plant, 379 km from my house. On the way back I side stepped into a forest trail, riding around for am hour, and what do you know, I found a nice little stream. Though it was short, it was the best fun I've had in a while. My Raid is 1996. Right now the odo is at 8...
Well finally got it a roller again truth be told my mate did, all new linkage bearings, swing arm bearings and all powder coated and a newer better condition rear shock and a raid tank really suits it. hope you all like
Bought a 02 "garage queen" a few weeks ago. Bike was lightly used and the pipe sounded great (for a stock pipe) I bolted on a new FMF Q4-so if you need an original exhaust or just the silencer/spark arrestor PM me. I'll ship in the FMF box unless a all you need is the baffle but I would like to sell t...
got out again today rode the forest south of home a nearly five hours covering 180ks , the forest differs from my ride on Wednesday in that the tracks consist of steep rutted rocky tracks that are quite challenging but fun at the same time here's a few more pics , warm 30 deg C clear autumn day .
So last night I fitted one of these. It was £17.99 off Amazon, has good reviews and was easy to fit, even for a mechanical retard for myself! I did manage to break a fuel hose removing the tank though I can now run a sat nav and change my phone and my kindle at the same time! Result!
The pics should be self explanatory. What I think has happened is through either lack use of or just wear, the dials have seized. When I got it apart I put a drill on the drive and I could see it all spinning but just clicking where you can see the tip of the crewy. I poked a small screwdriver in-between each o...
Having just bought a white 1993 TTR 250 for a short commute to work (9miles each way) can someone please advise on the road tyres that I will require. The bike will not be used off road at all, criminal I know but it was a bargain and ideal for my daily short trip. Also any idea of its value? 1993 model, white...
