just wondering what the max range is for a new (2011) model. i just got mine out for its first highway/firetrail/singletrack adventure and got 130km or around 80 miles to a tank including reserve. is this going to get better once the engine wears in? mods so far = 13 tooth front sprocket, removal of snor...
I just found a part that I forgot to put back in my carb after fooling around with jetting. Oops! how important is this? Is it ok to ride without it? Probably not, but I would like to make sure before I tear my carb apart for the 10th time within the last week. Please help.
The photo is from a TTR250 engine I am just stripping down to check. The engine is at TDC and the cam sprocket lines should be parallel with the head. This is the second engine in a week where a stutter and slight misfire has been caused by incorrect valve timing. The other case was a customer who had spent s...

Anyone got any of these 3 parts they are prepared to part with for cash or to swap for other TTR parts? I don't need the wiring loom/connector for the warning lights just the binnacle itself. The rubber surround has persihed and its sort of "melted" in places. Brian
Hope this is in the right section! Hi All, Am thinking about getting a bike for my wife as she has expressed an interest - she has no experience on a motorbike (well not on the front anyway). There's a nice 2005 XT125X with 17 inch wheels in the correct colour (blue) for sale locally, and I can't be bothered...
Just a quick tip for when you are doing a spot of TTR maintenance. Check that the one way valves are working. I have just put a carb back on a TTR I am working on and thought I would check them - both were blocked! Not unusual in my experience. Just pop them off and check you can blow down through but that when y...
Hey guys, I bought this '05 TTR a few weeks ago for $1300 USD. Pretty good deal, because it looks to have been ridden very little, with the usual wear points showing here and there. The plastics were a little beat up, so I put new ones on it, and removed all the OEM graphics except for the YAMAHA stickers. I f...
This is a standard seat that has had the foam cut down to form a low seat. Approximately 1.5 inches foam left. I used the seat for green laning and commuting to work and found it comfortable for that, you would not want to sit on this seat for hours at a time (although I did 1200miles on it in 10 days following...

I just got done modding my bike after ordering parts all winter. I drove it on a dry winter day in stock form and it worked great, but just needed a little extra arm pump. I just installed an FMF PC4, twin air filter and removed snorkel along with opening up the hole a bit, and 6 sigma jet kit. It came with 3 mai...
Hello yes its another question on jets... I am confused and have read other forums. Ok TTR250 04 plate, fitted new twin air filter and FMF Q4, snorkel still fitted as gone in some big puddles, bike seems a little sluggish in comparison to a friends with similar set up. I have a 14/52 sprocket set up and wo...
Hey, I'm new.. Just wondering if there's still any countries in Europe, or anywhere selling new TTR250's. Also, I'm guesing it does, but does anyone know if it shares the engine with Yam's other 250's (serow, xt, trickers, wr250r, etc!) Many thanks for any help. -- Edited by Her on Sunday 18th of May...
Brian, I posted a new topic this a.m. and checked the box to notify me when someone replies. I had 1 person reply and got 4 notices. (I can't remember if I checked the box to email me whenever there is a new post to this topic). Do you know what I am doing wrong? I think it does it when I "subscribe" t...
Hi all, I have just bought an 03 TTR 250 which will be having a bit of a tidy up and a few bits and pieces changed for laning, its mainly been used as a road bike judging by the amount of road grime under the muguards and on the frame. already gone are the indicators, mirrors, and handle bars (didn't feel at al...
Hello all I entered the taffy Dakar, which is a motor biking orienteering event in the welsh valley's. Managed to blag a ride with last years champions (the devon druids) It is only in it's second year.

Slightly different to the usual request. I'm six foot four, with a 35 inch inside leg. Is there a way of making the seat taller? I have been looking round for taller seat foam, like you can get for XR's and KDX's but no one makes some for a TTR 250. I would like more space from seat to foot-peg, I don't care abo...
how important is this? Is it ok to ride without it? Probably not, but I would like to make sure before I tear my carb apart for the 10th time within the last week. Please help.
