hello all. anyones has a exhaust cam cap (only need left hand side one) and rubber mounts of cylinder head cover? also digital speedo sender? thanks, sezer.
Can anyone help me with my thought process please... I've taken the head/barrel off and refitted to cure an oil leak from the bottom of the barrel at the front. Now it's all back together it runs as rough under load as you like. Idle is fine, steady throttle is ok but not brilliant but acceleration is jerk...
THIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wv8IPCE0LNQ is what remains of the raw footage I got running at Marulan Driver Training Centre, A neat little track south of Sydney NSW. Was a great day with a bunch of mates on bigger supermoto'd...
I need to replace the two leaking o-rings, part number appears to be 5Y1-14397-00 but judging by the price of the genuine Yamaha part they must be made of gold. Hence does anyone know their size so that I can pick up some replacements from the local suppliers?
Just got myself a bog standard (ish) TTR and what a great forum you have here But bike is perhaps more bog than standard at present as discovered oil leak in the casing from the generator wiring so already reacquiring some long lost spannering skills but heading off to the tech questions section r...

I have just bought a TTR and looking to get out and muddy this winter on the greenlanes! When I get a photo i'll upload one. But for now mines a pint of Sambuca yeah!! Sweet
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...

yesterday my neutral light went out thinking it was the bulb i proceeded to change it.Unfortunately the bulb holder disintigrated , leaving the wires bare with the copper fittings attached .there is power to the brown wire. The bike will now not start on the starter unless the clutch is pulled in and t...
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...

Hey guys, Just bought a 2002 ttr250 on Sunday! My friends egged me into going trail riding with them a long time ago, but failed to find a good condition bike for 3 months until a few days ago. Will definitely be using this forum to seek help and post up my adventures around Sydney. If there's anyone else...
