How long should a chain slider last under normal conditions? I'm referring to the slider near the front spoket. Mine seems to be eating away way too soon, and the chain tension is correct, what other factors can affect this?
Hi all, I bought this TTR open enduro a week ago and am in the process of stripping her down to give her a good wash, replace anything that needs and just check there are no nasty surprises before we begin our adventures together ♥. Hoping to make her my future travel bike to far flung places! So far we are h...

Hello anyone and everyone, I am in search of the entire kick starter kit. I have a 2003 TTR250 and the one thing to make this bike bullet proof is the kick starter. Someone please help! ! ! -- Edited by Hag on Friday 1st of July 2022 12:25:48 AM
1993/4 era OE and Raid seat covers in reasonable condition for age (!) Raid cover has a scuff at the front. OE OK. Both have a small wear-through at the bottom left front corner, but this is not visible when fitted. Raid £20, OE £25, posted to UK. (Black spot on 3rd pic is a fly, not a blemish!) -- Edited by...
I have just started on a resurrection of a 1999 TTR 250. It has been sitting a long time but it looks like I'm not the first to do so. LOL! This appears to be the spot to get the low down on such a project. Looking forward to hanging out here!
Ive recently replaced the lower carb o-rings, seal and diaphragm and set up the carb with 50 pilot, I think 142 or 147 main (couldn't read clearly) with pilot screw 2 turns out, twin air filter (snorkel still present) and dominator end can. It starts up almost immediately but the popping on the overru...
Hi all, i noticed that every couple of days the breather cap is coming off and the bike runs bit rough , so my question is can i glue this off? is this something which i will need access to eventually? also how do you usually refill the rear brake reservoir ? its located in a place where its very hard to pour...
I've had my TTR for about 8 years now. Whilst I'm beginning to fall to bits it isn't so it probably time it found a new home. New chain and sprockets fitted, battery last year, shock just been rebuilt and some specialist welding carried out to strengthen the frame. (The frame had been powder coated by th...
New member here and someone who has been looking for a dual purpose bike for a while but until recently didn't even know the TTR existed (sorry). I'm from NE UK (near Darlington) and recently picked up a blue TTR250 which is looking like a nice little project, low miles, some spares, a leaky carb and pr...
Hi there, I just finished the 350 rebuild a few weeks ago and took it out for a spin for 15 miles and decided the jetting was too far out. I adjusted to 147 50 bottom clip starts fine, however the down pipe started glowing and therefore running lean. I checked my timing thinking it may be slightly off and i...
Hi all I will be selling my raid in a couple of weeks, it’s definitely with regret basically I can’t get on and off her properly coz of dodgy hips. thought I’d ask on here first before i sell anywhere else. Basically I’m testing the water and I know on here you know what you are looking at not like the rest...
Hi All After meeting my girlfriend Roberta in Kyrgyzstan 2018 and impressing her with my overlanding ttr250 so much she moved moved from Milan to Northamptonshire, England In August 2020. She then decided to buy a completely disassembled Ttr250 Raid. After rebuilding that she then purchased a co...
Sold now. Hi there, I have some ttr250 wheels for sale, the front has original paint marks, basically brand new disk but no bearings. The rear has poor paint and, good disk, bearings. I will throw these on eBay if there is no interest. They have got to be worth £130 as a spare set I'd have said. Bas...
My 1995 model was running great when I did a 200 km ride 3 weeks ago, now it won’t start. I checked spark and compression to find only 65psi. Have checked carby and valve seating plus piston and rings but found nothing apparently wrong. Now out of ideas. ian, Australia
Not sure if I ever posted this on here, yes it's on the WRR & the TTR may have been better as it seems to get better traction on hills, anyhow Wet gully track in the Victorian high country is between Harriotville & Bright & not too hard but in saying that the BMW1200 had issues. As per normal the...
I just found this excellent video! The only criticisms I have are that (a) he forgot to put the solenoid earth strap on the rear starter motor bolt before fitting the oil line etc. and (b) forcing the carb in like that isn't good as it is quite likely to separate the rubber from the aluminium stub on the in...
I'm not much of a mechanic but I can replace stuff, about 2 years ago I took this apart to restore and it kinda got stalled, and now I got a rebuilt kit and changed all the parts in the carb. But it's still running very rough,it smooths out for a sec but stalls right...
Hello, kind of a re join as I never actually left but did take a rather too lengthy pause from bikes. On the plus side we now live in rural west Wales fairly close the Strata Florida if anyone is passing or indeed need of help, etc. I still have the bluey which I almost sold but bottled at the last moment. So he...
I've just completed a carb rebuild (with All Balls kit) but now have a leak from the diaphragm cover. I'm trying to avoid the expense of a new diaphragm so wondered if it also acts as a gasket, sealing against the cover? If it doesn't act as a gasket, then I assume replacing it isn't going to help. I've atta...
Hello from the Netherlands..
Hi there, good to see there is an active community for the ttr250.
I have been a proud owner for a few weeks and am happy with it.
I'm going to drive TET routes with it instead of my XTZ 750
I have a long experience with Xt's and XTZ engines and this feels like coming back t...
