My friend Andy (who sells the TTR chain sliders and shock top bush kits) needs a replacement exhaust for his TTR. Not one to take the easy route such as finding a s/h one, Andy has made contact with a few exhaust manufacturers with a view to getting a small batch of replacement exhausts made up. Only one ma...
Hello I just bought a 2005 ttr250 with a ffm pipe, an it is running me in circles. it has fresh fluids, new air filter an battery, the bike starts right up no problem but after about 45 min or so of slow trail riding it begins to bog out an dies. It will only start with the choke on an them idles high as the sky an...
Had the TTR out today on a group ride held by one of the clubs here. They basically come up with a route of legal roads/trails & provide you with a route sheet to follow. Today's ride was just under 100 miles; probably 20 or so of real trail (like the water crossing pic) mixed with dirt roads (primitive...
Hi I am selling my 3 meter hq beamer after £70 inc uk mainland delivery. Please note this is NOT a toy, it has had my 12 year old off the ground, great fun for the summer. Thanks for looking.
I would be interested in other owners views on the foam lining on the TTR's side panels. On a dirtbike, the foam is a PITA. 1. It is difficult to clean properly without power washing it - which requires taking the panels off. 2. It stays wet after power washing creating a moist atmosphere around the frame...
I am in the process of attempting to make my 2001 TTR street legal. Being a novice when it comes to electronics I thought I would ask for your help. I bought a hydraulic brake switch (for the rear brake). The original taillight has 3 wires blue, black, and yellow. The tusk wiring diagram was not much help....
Had a great family day out with the dirtbikes at Whimple MX track with brother Trev & partner, Tim & Mackenzie (5yo) & Alfie (4yo), bro-in-law Keith, Trish (Mrs TTR) and me. Bikes were 3 TTRs and a WR250R. Took the Bongo fully loaded with food and gear with 2 TTRs and a WRR on the trailer. Trev...
Hi all. I'm currently in Laos on my way to Europe and I'm having problems with the carb. I've got a 2012 TTR250 with 16000kms. The first and most common problem is when I climb up a hill or any incline the bike coughs and splutters like its misfiring or flooding. It happens at low/mid revs but at higher revs...
Hi, thought I'd add a couple of pics of the progress I've made sorting my newly acquired TTR for a bit of a Greenlaning fun. It's supposed to be a cheap project so this bike will have no-frills but I have spent money in what I think are the right places giving it a good service ect. I have replaced the swing ar...
It is with a heavy heart that I have finally come to the conclusion that I should part with my TTR, as I'm just not getting time to ride her, and I need the space in my garage . So therefore, I got her MoTed today and now she's up for sale - eBay listing here : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...
Ok seeing if anybody out there can help me get the brake light to work. So I got the bike and it never had the bulb fitting or wiring. So bought a light fitting which came with three wires. Ground, high and low beam pretty simple really. Now searched the bike for where to wires this thing into. Finally found...
I have come to realize that my rear shock is pretty worn. I was wondering if any of you knew of a reputable shop which can rebuild shocks in the US? Or does anybody know if I can buy a used one? I looked on ebay and didn't find anything there
Just picked up a 2006 TTR250. Live in Castle Rock CO, Elevation 6,500 - 10,000 depending on riding. Already gathered tips on jetting. Took out snorkel and baffle. Jetted to 135 main, clip one from the very top. Had FMF pipe but was way too loud. Sold on eBay. Suspension feels a bit soft, I am 6 ft, 1...
In May 2012 - I know it's some time ago and history - Brian and I took Bouncing Bob out after some winds and rain to look at the lanes. We found a few trees that had been blown over and a few lanes that were a bit worse for wear. There is a dead end lane in Devon which is renowned for a glorius view from a hill top ove...
Hi Just joined the forum, seems a great place of like minded people. I've had my 05 TTR250 for a couple of years now. Mid life crisis thing, rode in my early 20's (XR200), had a break for 20 odd years and now back into it. Love my bike, ride mainly single trails in the bush around central coast NSW. Has plenty...
To them not in the Uk a sample of some of the lanes out past the last Banjo shop this side off the Moor from my helmet cam on the TTR Saturday past. Some of the narrow Lane's close to Dartmoor Devon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfVdHexcBtc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikEE6NAo6yo http...
Hi All Just discovered this forum and I'm impressed, so much good info! I'm about to replace the timing chain on my 05, the manual says to replace the sprockets too. Is it necessary, and do all 3 sprockets need replacing or just the top 2?
Hello fellow TTR enthusiasts! It's been a while since I posted but I had a question about my bike. I'm not sure if this is normal, or if I should look into it, but when the bike is in gear (engine off), there is about 1/4 - 1/2 a turn of slack at the drive sprocket before it is stopped by the stopped engine. This...
G'day All, I'm in the process of prepping my '94 Raid for a frame paintwork freshen up and noticed the left hand footpeg mount is welded to the frame and the right hand one is bolted on. Is this how they come from the factory? Maybe a silly question.......................thanks!
Hi guys! Just wanted to let you know that another TTR is heading out into the big world soon I'll be riding my 04' TTR250 solo from Dunmore Head in Dingle, Co. Kerry - the westernmost point in Ireland - across Europe, Central Asia, Mongolia into Magadan in Siberia. The planned route is as follows:...
This is the start stripping and prepping, I don't know if any of you guys have worked on a big bike like a BMW, it's not as complicated as it looks just remember to take photos as you go, that way if you forget how it came apart you can always revert to the photos, that should apply to any project.
hi all just bought this 98 ttr in need of some tlc its all there from what I can see (apart of decals)rides nice only thing is its a little hesitant on the throttle under light load so thinks the carb may need a clean
Having been caught out by losing a split link on the trail a few weeks ago, I only just remembered to pack a new one in my tank bag before a trail ride on Tuesday. I find that the side plate is always a tight fit on the pins making it difficult to fit without a press when out riding so I always modify the spare I ca...
I have a bit of OCD and I like everything to be as good as new. I have so far changed my front mudguard and headlight surround. All I have left to do is touch up the frame and get both rear plastic panels and mudguard.Being scottish I grudge paying £80 per side pan and £90 for a rear mudguard. Why are parts so e...
It was (is) such a nice day today (now) that I couldn't resist a little "firkle" on my TTR. It was very bracing and the sea was dead calm, looking very inviting. I enjoyed it - must do it more. Martyn
I follow VINTAGE FACTORY on facebook , i remember watching the orginal ON ANY SUNDAY with Steve macqueen and Malcom smith in the 70s it was a great motorcycle documentry. I love my TTR. But i dont think i would go as far as a love heart heat shield on the pipe.
