Ok so today I passed some major hurdles on the TTR 250. I finally got the check valve in the mail - inserted it - and finished the carb rebuild. Reinstalled Carb, added fuel and the engine started immediately. It was truly a proud moment. I even started to think well "just maybe". I had halted any ot...
Hey everyone. First I am glad this forum exists as I have taken in a stray Yamaha TTR250. Model year is 2005. I am from TN living in CA. Proud owner of several bikes Harleys, Moto Guzzi, Kawasaki, Honda, Beta and now the Yamaha. I am a reluctant keeper of this bike. It was one of those 'I know you like to wo...

So all-balls carb rebuild kit didn't provide everything - what size O ring goes on the pilot screw? The one provided is too small. I see I am not the only person to run into this issue - sorry I couldn't find that thread this morning to ask this there. Apologize if I am junking up the place. How do I sear...
I recently tore into a major carburetor repair on a non running 2005 TTR. Took several ultra sonic soaks and a deep soak in some Berrymans. Replaced everything that was included in the all balls rebuild kit. Waiting on diaphragm and check valve then hopefully she'll come back to life. In the meantim...
Thought I would link a couple of videos here, inspired watching everyone else's lately. Some Tassie riding My old CRF 230F - learnt to ride on that - riding at and near the Pieman river https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eICbDFDCvAc Joy on the TTR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiPVGnIZ...
Don't seem to remember the GoPro so much but did a few weeks ago for a ride in the North Fork John Day area. We caught the last day of dry weather and woke up to snow. 25 miles and 200 vertical feet each way (down to the river and back up to Ditch Creek Guard Station). [video=https://www.youtube.com/watc...
Has anyone come across a non-floating cab float...??? Finished a carb rebuild a few months ago, put it all back together and fired it up without a problem. Just come to check it over pre MoT and running (just) pants and carb flooding. Stripped out the carb again, checked float needle for debris but all c...
Hello from Tasmania, Australia. I have ridden various bikes in my 40-odd years of riding, starting with a XR200RD when I got my license at the age of 16 to my last bike, a 2022 Versys 300X which I couldn't justify sitting unused in the garage, so I sold it and started looking for a road trail bike with elect...
Hi all, Two weeks ago my blue TTR (2003) was working fine: I did a 135k on/off road trip, parked up and when I went back to the bike a day later it wouldn't start. The starter would turn but there was no spark. Being a lazy sod I took it to my local Yamaha dealer. They did static tests and said the stator was duff...
I took the TTR down to the local tyre fitters today, to get a new front tyre. Unfortunately they couldn't get the wheel off. The forks on my bike I think are 1998 YZ forks. When the spindle is unscrewed from the left fork leg, the spacer on that side is seized to the spindle. It reaches a point where all its do...
I am stripping an engine and the sprag clutch was really jammed. If you look at the way the bearing assembly has been bent, this sprag kicked back big time! Can't believe it wasn't giving out audible warning signals to the owner well before this happened. I have found the best way to safely unjam the s...
Kia Ora Folks! I'm a bit of an imposter here as I actually ride a 450exc (sorry!). Having said that my partner has just bought an awesome '95 TTR250 Raid. It's in really good nick and we've already had a few good rides on it. The reason for me joining this forum is I'm looking for some advice around luggage...
Here I have for sale a OE frame in a hideous shade of green, but don't let that put you off on its own. It's also has the sidestand lug cut off and the brake pedal pivot modified (I think as it's different to my raid frame). To top it off it's had a weld repair to a seat tube but that seams pretty normal. And has a...
Mike McCann has made some great videos on suspension and performance mods for the TTR including the exhaust and front forks. See his YouTube channel here His latest videos show the progress on a 350cc conversion using the Totally TTRs big-bore kit. First of the series is here: [video=https://yout...
Hi, I'm selling my blue 2002 TTR 250, currently on SORN. 5235 miles (speedo in km), barely used but well maintained. Norwich. Local delivery possible. £2000
Hi-just found this site and am looking to get back into some biking and really fancy getting a TTr250! Any really important things to keep a lookout for with these bikes? Thanks!
Interesting video. The guy (can't find his name) has built his own powder coating setup very cheaply and, in this video, coats some TTR parts including the barrel from a 350 kit
Hi there, has anyone noticed during a rebuild that there top two piston rings are positioned closer together than expected? I noticed this in both the 325 and 350 I split recently but 100% know the 350 was spot on with spacings some 200 miles ago? The 325 had had more miles on and were closely aligned. T...
Hi All Sad news this one Due to a high volume of orders being returned to me from Europe, I have suspended any European orders using their local postal network for the moment. I am trying to see how to get this resolved. For now I can only send using UPS and not the local postage sytem. If any customers in E...
Hi, I have been a long time lurker on this forum and have found it to be a great resource for all and most interesting. I thought therefore I would joinup if not only to boost the membership. I dont have an off road type machine and really never have had and I dont know if my bones / joints would actually take i...
Just for information when you hear that dreaded "Clunk" sound when you stop the engine and your fears of having to replace the Sprag Clutch, its not that harder job. The sound was getting louder and more often when the engine was stopped. 2001 model with 16000km, we are the 4-5 owners looking at the bik...

Hi all, got an issue with my blue tank speedo drive, yes the speedo does work but when the dike is in the air & I turn the front wheel backward it locks up, I removed the speedo drive & inspected, cleaned it up. the worm gear or pinion had end float & I believe this is causing the lockup. To me it s...
Hi Everyone, Was visiting a friend of a friend in our old hometown and during a “Guided Tour” of his Garden I spotted a 1981 Montesa Cota 200 lurking in the darkness. Just had to ask what that was all about and was told that he bought it out from Scotland, when he emigrated to NZ in 1991 and was thinking of sel...
Feels like a 2nd coming, what with Covid and long awaited surgery I’ve had minimum TTRing or big yin outings. The surgery complete 2.5 weeks ago, (no details, it would make your eyes water) and recovery going well, in 1.5 weeks I hope to be climbing aboard wee yin, stand by for some short ride reports.
Hello! It seems that the coil lead on my ttr has some internal damage.Sometimes when unplugging and putting it back i get misfires. I have cut a few mm of the end of the lead and screwed the plug cap back in and it cured the problem.But i already had to do it twice now. Is it possible to remove the lead from the...
