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...
Hi, If your like me and riding the bike in the high rev range you might be looking for a tacho. This is the tiny tach and I have found it very good. It is American made and is also an hour meter. Regards, Matt

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...
This is a second hello! The first I was enquiring about lowering a TTR and I was advised to get a serow. Well the serow around where I live go for ridiculous money £2000 + approx.The good news! So I decided to get a ttr after all. The one I got is 2003 blue that has a koubla link fitted and the forks lowered...

So a few days after if filled by bike with water (got it out now running) she started ticking. The cam chain doesnt have much play and is tight. and it starts right up so I dont think its the valves. But what do I know.. Just so many problems after she took in water
I just happen to have a new Hel hose in my pile of stuff "to do something with" so thought it might be interesting to compare it with the Vehill front hose. The next pic compares the fittings at the reservoir end: The Venhill hose has a plastic sleeve over the hose which adds stiffness where t...
hey! I have a 2001 ttr250. bought it from a guy for 450 bucks with the title! bad thing was it smoked and he said it would stop once it wormed up never stopped... So i replaced the valve seal along with rings and honed the cylinder. Ran great after that no smoking at all. Then i went to a atv part and layed it ove...
Since I bought my TTR a couple of years ago it's been a bit spluttery cold and less pickup against my son's TTR, I have done the normal stuff x3 times or more. Then looking through the parts list Brian mentioned about pilot jets being difficult to clean, so I ordered up a couple of replacement jets a bit lar...
Replaces the standard plastic cover and allows you to see and clean around the front sprocket more easily. Also, helps stop the front sprocket clogging up. I have attached it to a sender mount for demonstration. It is only the cover and stainless steel fixing bolts that are offered for sale. £15 inc 1...
