just installed a new chain and drive sprocket on my 2000 TTR250, i adjusted the chain as per the manual with it up in the air on a stand so the front and rear tires hang free and the adjusted the slack to about 1.65 inches up down movement, set the bike down and ride around and it just seems like it has a t...
This the second time the dip beam has gone on my TTR OE. What are my best options (the cheaper the better). I would like a more powerful light if it is possible with the standard electrics as I use it all year road. Tbh the original is p#ss poor
Hi all. I bought a new old stock TTR250 from a dealer in the UK back in 2007 and had it delivered to my home in Spain. I think it is a 2006 model year, maybe 2005. I rode the bike for 66 miles and changed the oil and filter and then put it on a lift stand in the garage where it has remained for the last 7 years. I di...

Hi everyone. I've putting together a 2002 ttr250 that I bougut in pieces. I've got a genuine service manual and I also refer to partzilla for assembly of the engine. Has anyone experienced parts that Yamaha have "thrown in" to keep it interrsting? For example the oil pump is pictured with a...

Bike looks like it is is phenomenal condition very little case wear marks engine looks clean, took the tank and seat off and cleaned out the carb all look practically new. Problem I am having is that the bike starts up fine with choke runs great for about 20 minutes then just d...
Great postings lately, from Dorset to the Mediterranean to Oz, amazing. The US west coast is in the middle of a terrible drought, so we've hung up the skis and got out the bikes. Below is gopro of some single track at Cline Buttes outside of Sisters, Oregon. High desert juniper forest lava flow...
As the frame on the OE is in a poor state I have decided to tear the bike apart once the salt etc has gone from the roads, I can then use the Tuono daily. I am thinking of doing the frame gloss black and maybe the same with the swing arm also. The main concern I have are the nuts/studs which hold the header pipe on...
The main reason I have spent time with my brother over the last couple of days was to help him put up shelving in his new garage to get best use of the space. The photo shows how far we got. He still has a small Dexion shelving unit to put in the RH corner but it's already looking good. His hobby is building com...
do you tighten the rear wheel nut up to its specified torque or use a small tool kit spanner to tightening it up in case you need to undo it on the lanes?

Well not cold here in Australia, was forcast for a high of 38c yesterday but they changed it to 36c, did around 200kms on dirt & gravel roads around the Adelaide hills & Barossa Valley areas. We had shocking bushfires here just over a month ago on a 42c day, the 1st video is near where the fire star...

However....every cloud and all that.....I had my heart set on buying amother Yam...this time a WR250f.....

Hi, Looking at selling my 2004 blue ttr. 2004 0n a 53 plate with 7219 miles. I've had it exactly 2 years and just used it locally on the road and the odd forest track, nothing serious. MOT until the 21st March 2015. It starts no problem and runs well. Plastics and tank are very good and has a nice decal kit. Re...
I helped my brother Trev with a couple of jobs on his TTR this morning. Firstly we swapped out his shock for an eBay item that I had tested. My testing is quite simple. The hardest part is taking off the spring to check the damping action i.e. that the rod moves freely and returns to full extension under its...

We hit lanes at leigh, batcombe, up cerne, cerne abbas, tolpuddle, moreton and corfe castle. I know you al...
A few pics of my bike for you, now with the addition of a Totally TTR's rack with side rails, a Totally TTR's bash plate and a E.A.R. Supertrapp exhaust, which is quite fruity. The rack is hopefully going to be put to good use in June when I am planning a trip up to Scotland.
Hello guys, My bike is a 1996 Raid. A few days ago I had a fuel flow problem so today I cleaned the fuel tank and the carburetor. I found a huge amount of gunk clogging the fuel pipe and the needle valve seat, so I cleaned them out. But once I reassembled the bike, there was no way to get it start and run unless I o...
