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...

so after months of deliberating and debating, I've finally sold my beloved TTR. A local friend got the bug for green laning after only one go on my Raid....so he tempted me with cash and I buckled! 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...
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...
