Hi everyone I have just picked up my (new to me) 2003 TTr 250. It has 5000 miles on the clock and is in very good condition. The guy who owned it before me was a mechanic at one of my local bike shops and he has looked after it really well. It has an FMF powercore 4 end can, has been rejetted to suit and runs real...
There is alot of free play in my stand. Bikes only done 9000 km and most of the road. The insert that goes into the frame seems a tiny bit to long so i may grind it alittle then try and squeese the stand itself together allowing the nut and bolt to tighten. The insert wasnt allowing it to have a precise fit. As...

wondering why mr yamaha never made the header pipe as a shorty. Is it something to do with cooling as the fins on the barrel and head need flow through air. My tt 500 in my profile pic had a shorty
Do I need to reuse this bearing in the new stator cover or does the new c cover come with the bearing installed. I don't see the bearing listed in the parts diagram. Thank you.
i Love my TTR but there arent alot of them around my home. Two of my buddies are looking for bikes. What bikes are the spiritual successor to the TTR. Is it the WR250R/WR450R? Remember the USA TTR is off road only. What Id really like to know is what other current bikes are great trail bikes? Including ot...
I have been having trouble with my ttr since I bought it used. Thought it would be a simple carbeurtor cleaning, but that is not the case. Now I have done so much not sure where to go. Also let me say that I have just basic mechanic skills so I could have messed up on any of the following. symptoms: -high spe...
I was going through a field of high grass and a huge rock jumped in front of my bike. I was almost able to avoid it but it caught my bike. Ends up being a 200$ mistake I wasn't hurt and the bike will be fine. I just missed my whole day of riding
So many of the bolts I pull out of the engine have this odd chaulky white powder on them. Is this anti-seize from the factory? or oxidation? Should i use thread lock these or anti seize on these internal engine bolts like the bolts that hold the stator to the cover and the cable holds??
Hello, I have a question for the TTR community... I've got a blue tank TTR. It's a great bike, and I'm loving the bike for green laning with its smooth power and solid feel. The only problem I have is caused by my height. I'm 6'5" and a more comfortable standing position would be useful. I already h...
I know there's been a few threads on chain/sprocket combinations, but I though I'd start a thread from my experiences that gives a few sprocket, links, tyre and adjuster combinations and what sort of clearances they give at correct chain tension. Maybe this can build up over time into a referenc...
The symptom of a faulty solenoid is lots of pressing of the starter button with plenty of clicking at the solenoid with the starter eventually engaged and the engine firing up!Before changing the solenoid, check the starter switch which is easily dismantled. Clean the contacts with fine wet & d...
Hi All Feel like I'm hogging the new threads but have decided to replace the sprag clutch. Pulled off the 'Yamaha Cover' and noticed some small cracks around the base - see very average, out of focus photo. Should I replace the cover?
I bought this one in for a customer who changed his mind so would like to move it on. £85 plus carriage which would be £6 in the UK mainland. Email me here if you are interested in buying. Brian
Mine has about 2mm of play in it. Gives a slight clunk when on the bike stand and I lift the swing arm. Can't see it move. I can feel it if I put my fingers around it. Should it have zero play up and down? Cheers Leigh.
I'm riding in USA, PA I got my TTR around two months ago. Its been a real joy to ride. I start out early because I'm so excited but my buddy lives right at the trailhead and sleeps till noon. I'm alone in the first half of the day but my buddy george meets me later. We had a plan to go on the other side of the track...

It's what they call here a "grey import from japan", bought with km 20k and now we are at km 41k between N...
Is that a good area to find these green lanes I hear mentioned so often? If so, any ideas where one might rent a 250 for a few days? I believe I'm talking about Wales, not New South Wales. Possible trip that way with some time for exploring ...
All the leaves are brown i had a nice little ride round some of the lanes close to home as I only had 2-3 hours this afternoon I wanted to take in this nice river crossing before the weather get's bad an the water level gets so high the crossing cant be made till spring was still close to 2 feet deep i have...
