Tried to cross a mountain trail but the way was blocked by a fallen tree about a mile past the waterfall and I could find no way around it. 3 hours out in the rain riding the mountain tracks. I was out on my own and was thinking it would not be a great place to have a serious off
Going for a trail ride tomorrow - first since last October! Dug the 325 out, checked the tyre pressures - amazingly all still spot on, checked the oil - all good there, pressed the starter and she fired right up - proper job Checking her over and the RH footpeg support seemed a tad loose. Upon investigat...
Louie from Torquay is looking to sell his 1996 TTR250 because he just isn't using it. He reliably informs me that it is in really good condition and it certainly looks like it from the photo he sent me - copied above. It has 6 months MOT on it but no reason to suspect it won't sail though the next one. He is lo...
I am looking ahead in terms of my 325 build and realise that I don't have a kickstart lever for it. Does anyone have one for sale or know where I can buy one please? Many thanks Brian
Guys, Its the first time I am changing the chain and sprockets on the 4GY. I'm changing the gearing having read the posts on this forum. However, the front sprocket; is it a left or right hand thread? Ive knocked up the flange (insert own joke!) and the 30mm nut has to come off. The bike is in first gear...

I did 120 miles or a...
Just spotted a TTR coming into Moffat from the Edinburgh road/Devils beef tub. Couldn't believe my eyes. Not sure if it was a 125 or 250, was in the park away from the road but it was a blue original decal number, looked good of course. Anyone's on here?

hi, few days ago when i was servicing it stripped the crank case thread and now theres only few thread left. i tried to retap the thread with my local mechanic but theres no thread left, the only option for him is to replace with a bigger size. next option for me is to order a tap kit from ebay. so i checked o...
After a afternoon out on local lanes i notice the rear suspension has started to make a creaking noise ! Anyone else had this ? Also towards the end of the day i noticed a noise coming from the front sprocket area on de-acceleration, sounds like the chains hitting the sprocket cover but everything looks...
On the Devon TRF forum I found this post Holding a bike up for a puncturePermalink Having faffed around with sticks and even a traffic cone I saw this a couple of weeks ago and thought it was genius. Depending on wether it's a front or back.... lift bike levering against stand. Use 2nd bike as b...

I've had Serows, DRs, Huskys and after a 6 year break I've got myself a '95 4GY model. ive just had the shock rebuilt, done the forks but it's a pretty standard bike with just 3k miles on the clock. Im looking forward to tapp...
Just out of interest my TTR has black rims it was registered in 2007, as I haven't seen another. Just wondered if there are many about? I assumed it's standard for the latter bikes.

Hi all here. I ordered parts and a coworker agreed to ask his son to help with transport. He too is waiting for some parts for his KTM, and to cut on shipping costs (and Customs, ofcourse ) all goodies will come to Togo via France. Should be here by 7th Oct. A long tear down, parts cleaning, and reassemblin...

Hey guys, Been on this forum a while buying things (My TTR, EXHAUST and other stuff) So i thought it was time i said hello! I have a OE White tank model, which I use daily! This forum has been brilliant for me so far. Most questions I've had has been found. But i do have one i cant seem to find the answer too. Do...
Finished work yesterday and tried to start the bike to go home and it wouldn't. On the button it just made a small click (and with the bike in gear it didn't do this so I would think the button itself is fine), and I couldn't even kick the bike into life. In the end I bumped it and it bumped first time. When I go h...
hiya When i bought the bike it had a top end rattle mainly when the revs were coming back down which turned out to be stretched timing chain. So i've replaced that and all seemed well but now when the engine gets warm (mainly) i get a rattle asthough the valve shims were loose and rattling against the bucke...
Hello every one! Excited to be a part of this wonderful community. I got my hands on a 2000 TTR250 Blue e-start only, about a year ago. I must say, I'm very happy with the bike so far. I have it running like a top with stage 2 jetting, FMF exhaust and racing air filter and box mod. Again, I'm excited to be a pa...
