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...
Glorious rideout today through dorset's finest countryside! Today had to be a great day for a decent rideout as the sun was actually beaming for once! and we were nearly in double figure degrees! 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...
i like the TTR stuff Brian produces and exports . I've got a 900km drive this evening to drop my daughter off at a One Direction concert. I reckon England has a lot to answer for when it comes to exporting boy bands any chance of having then called back Brian . i will be home about 3 am but still hope to get the T...
Hi chaps, Just joined the forum, my mate has talked me into going green laneing with him, which I must say looks awsome.. Unfortunately I don't think my FZR 600r is up to the task, so a nice little Enduro it has to be, And though I havn't got one yet, the TTR is looking favorite at the moment. I am From the...
Thought i'd start a thread of stripping the TTR down to get the frame powder coated, think it will be easier to keep all the related posts in one thread. It seemed to run slightly rough on idle so this morning i thought i'd give the carb a clean out to see if this was the problem and i'd like it running well bef...
I have the head and barrel off to repace a few parts, while it's apart i plan on spraying the head and barrel with some heat resistant silver paint. Any tips on cleaning the fins ready for paint ?
Just putting this out there to see if anyone is interested. I have a 1997 Open Enduro in Plymouth, Devon which is currently off the road which I just don't really have the time to get on the road again. It is MOT'd and if the battery was charged it would run but there are the following issues with it that nee...
Just bought to tempt my eldest son into taking up trail riding - he still wants a car, what wrong with kids these days!!!! Anyway was going to keep myself and sell my 2004 TTR, but I'm going to stick with it and offer this beauty out for sale. This bike was registered Sept 2005 and originally supplied by Geo...
the chromed mirror arms on my 2011 model were going rusty due to chrome pitting caused by being struck by all manner of abrasive matter thrown up by motorway traffic. I had considered purchasing mirrors that had stainless steel arms. [ are they available ] but a thought struck me that heatshrink tubi...

Hi all, new member here forum looks great! Got an issue with my TTR whereby it wont run correctly off idle. If you rev the bike it runs fine, but if you just open the throttle very slightly it is popping back through the carb and stalling. Carb has been stripped and cleaned and nothing obvious wrong with it...
I picked up my 2007 TTR250 a couple of days ago. It came with a Staintune with no baffle and not fitted to the bike. The PO found it to be too loud and no noticeable gain in power output. So , Im thinking about fitting the just TTRs shorty header, staintune and baffle. Does anybody here have that combo or si...

Hello guys. My bike is a Raid 1996. Yesterday I opened the crankcase breather ( conical thing just to the left of the air filter) and saw yellow goo dripping out, looked like yellow mayonnaise. Is this a mixture of oil and water from the crankcase?? Should I be worried? Thanks ! -- Edited by TTRVN on Tues...
