I could increase the idle speed easy enough. But slowing the idle was abit harder. Found that the spring was catching on the carby body. Took screw out then filed the top of the spring so it Had a slopping edge. Added a tiny bit of grease. Now its easily idled up or down. Use to have idle down with a pair...

Gumtree Australia has 91 adds for ttrs for sale. Some of the adds are for swapping xrs or klx for yammys but most are selling ttrs. Problem is australia is so big it takes a 24 hour drive from east to west or south to north. I rang 4 blokes and got close up photos of particular areas of the bike before i would ev...
Just the one! Came with a box of other parts. Yamaha part # 1UY-13440-02 Retail is £15.98 Anyone in the UK give me £10 (plus p&p) for it? UK postage would be £3.70 1st Class but up to 1kg can go for that price. So if you need any other small parts to go with it (spark plug, pads or whatever) they would effe...
I have always liked the KTM 640 ADVENTURE but the lack of engine and electrical system reliability made me have second thoughts. Two months ago, when a TTR 250 Raid came to my hands I decided to make this modification. I bought from a friend a tank, lights, fairing and seat from a not working KTM and after...

Hello peeps, I have a blue tank TTR 250 which I use for green laning with the Herts TRF. The green laning trips are about 70-80% road, 20-30% trails, with the trails a mix of gravel and muddy ruts. I currently have a Mitas C19 on the front and C02 on the back. I'm really struggling with the front tyre grip o...
I had an email from an owner with an interesting approach to replacing fork seals - see below:"I have just been busy fitting fork seals. You may not approve of my technique but I very simply remove the dust seal/fork seal retaining clip and attach a mini air compressor to the top valve. 200psi push...
Hi all. After years and years (and years) of motorbiking and fiddling around with same, I find I'm still a noob. Some while ago, at about 70,000 km I replaced all the linkage bearings. When all is said and done, I eventually replaced the shock, as it was badly worn, and the suspension appeared not to be g...
