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.

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 ...

A few years ago I made this excelent pair of thongs I thought I'd give you a run down on their performance they have proved excellent in all weather and excelling in the wet . Pretty good off road and on the sand Have provided protection against sharp objects in the shed however provide very little upper...
Notice the one link has a flat pin, like it was grinded down. This is not the master link, there is another one just like it, so there are atleast two pins like this. The chain feels and looks completely fine in every other aspect. thank you
I was walking in Glasgow City Centre today and just turned into Sauchiehall Street when I saw two police riders coming down the pedestrians only part. They were wearing blue and grey BMW textile suits on what looked very much like WR250's. I forgot to look at the plates to get the year. The bikes sounded...
I was contacted by an old riding buddy on Monday who had Wednesday off and was looking to get out on his bike after a long lay off.
