Does anyone know if there is any difference between the uk headlamp lense and those used in Europe? I am thinking of taking my bike out to France and leaving it at our French house which would mean re-registering and getting through the French scrutineering process. As the speedo has both miles and kil...
Just a word of warning to you all. My blue 2005 TTR was stolen from my garage overnight. The padlock was cropped and I didn't hear a sound. This took place in a quiet residential street in Hertford, Hertfordshire. This is not the first dirt bike to go missing locally in recent times. I' ve only owned this f...

Hi all, I took my TTR to the mechanic because there was a loud ticking coming from the engine when under moderate load.... Mechanic's Comments: "Big end worn, little end on rod elongated. Bore & piston scored, cam chain has wear." This is the big end (5MB MOV) slapping around. He said it...
I hope you do not mind but having just picked up my bike (2003) I have a few maintenance questions. 1. The top exhaust thread is stripped so my local mechanic is going to helicoil it and ordered new studs from Brian. 2. The is oil leaking from the decompresser plug so ordered a new metal one from Brian. Tr...
Just thought I would share a magical view of the Atherton Tablelands. It was a good (long) ride and well worth it for a view like this.. Enjoy! Jarrah -- Edited by TT-R250M on Wednesday 25th of June 2014 02:09:25 AM
Just wondering if anyone knew of a decent motorbike repair shop / mechanic in or around the Southam, Leamington Spa or Coventry area? Just moved to the area and need a 'go-to' person to help with the TTR. Thanks in advance.
Hi all. Just thought I'd put up a few pics of the mods I've done to get down to the Vince orienteering thing this year. So far I've done. Bigger petrol tank, rear luggage rack, front luggage rack, gas mask bag with interior velcro pocket for wine bottle,spotlight to help out the ****ty moped headlight...
I am helping a friend bring his TTR back to legality after looping it out on an enduro a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully the photos are self explanatory: It isn't possible just to put a long bolt and penny washer in from the top as it stops the stop/tail light bolting down fully. Has anyone got an elegant sol...

Hi all! Having purchased a 1998 Yamaha TTR 250 Open Enduro yesterday, I'm looking forward to contributing to the forum and also receiving some valuable advice from time to time! There is some work to do but as you can see the previous owner has done quite a bit of restoration/customizing!
Hello to all, Just thought I would share some pictures of my bikes. This will be, of course, at risk of being totally off-topic and irrelevant to this forum. If you don't like the word Honda maybe you should leave this page immediately as there will be one included below. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! First of al...
I am helping out a friend getting his blue TTR back into shape and noticed peculiar wear on the chain slider and swing arm end cap. I took off the front sprocket cover and the cause was immediately evident - the sprocket had been put on the wrong way around as you can see in the pic above. The sprocket had bee...
Being air cooled I can imagine the ttr might run a touch hotter than something water cooled, but does anyone know hoy it should run? I ask because since my rebuild (new rings, head/base gaskets, lapped valves, new VSOs) I think the bike runs hotter than before. Maybe there's more heat generated from...
I have a wheel where the outside of the two bearings has been turning in the hub and its not practical to repair it and its too sloppy to even try Bearing Fit If anyone has a good hub please PM me. I don't need the rim or spokes so if you have a damaged wheel with a good hub that would be great Brian
Just purchased a 2006 ttr-250 which ran perfect except I noticed it had a slow carburetor leak. I pulled the carb and replaced the diaphragm assembly which was stuck to the carb and bubbled. Now if I crack the throttle real quick the engine dies. If the choke is pulled out all the way it still dies abou...

Hey folks. Just bought a 2006 ttr250 with about 5-10 hours. Completely unmolested and in pristine condition. Still has original battery which needs replacing but I ran into an issue. It wouldn't start so I downloaded the manuel and traced the problem back to the starter switch. To verify this is the...
