Ordered a new idle set screw from Yamaha. Lo and Behold, it is on national backorder, mine broke as I was attempting to adjust as this bike has sat in the elements to my suspicion, for quite some time. I'm going to pull the carb and drill out the original. Does anyone happen to know what pitch and thread si...
Ok, so I finally got my bike running. Upon the throttle sticking after running it a few times I decided to inspect it further. I pulled the carburetor and noticed a super sticky brown gunk on the slide and outlet portion of the carb. I cleaned the emulsifier and the carb, it seems like it is beginning to st...

Even though we have a bit of nice weather ahead, I am thinking about winter maintenance for the TTR which may include the top-end. The bike is now 10 years old, runs OK but I really don't know much about it's maintenance prior to my getting it 3 years ago. Seems like a valve job, timing chain, etc. certainl...
Having been asked how difficult it is to fit a new clutch cable, I took a few pics whilst fitting one to my latest project TTR and hope they may help someone. Standard genuine Yamaha cables available here. Longer cables to accommodate risers or high bars available here. First off is to remove the old cab...
Any ideas? I get cramp in my fore-finger after just a few minutes of technical clutching around, such as hopping logs, curbs, wheeling down from ledges, that sort of thing, I.e. when I'm practising my trials-y skills. I know I could use two fingers on the clutch but one feels more natural, due to when I r...
Years ago I before 0-ring chains I used to remove the chain wash it in paraffin and cook it up in 'linklife', hang up the warm chain over the tin as most used to run back, worked well. For the last few years I've used Chainsaw oil before each trip of say 100miles, often over oiling to let the surplus +dirt ru...

I just took these out of a carb that I put back to UK (blue) standard 147/50 jetting. The pilot jet is a 48 measuring 18mm long and 5mm wide - I am pretty sure its a standard Tekei/Yamaha part. It's too short for a Mikuni. The main jet is a 137.5 measuring 9mm long and 6mm wide. It looks like a Tekei (see here) a...
