Hi, I'm in the process of overhauling a new to me 94 ttr250. I fix one thing and find more stuff to fix and I can't let these things go... I'll get to the end of the list soon ;) Anyway, brakes... my front brakes are very poor. They feel spongy and the lever goes to the bar. It doesn't feel like it's losing press...

Here it is. Fmf pc4, twin air dual stage air filter, 6 sigma jet kit, modded air box, wrap-around hand guards, tusk dual sport kit, Acerbis tool bag, Protaper SE platinum bars, etc. I used the original ttr tail light/ brake light as I like the look of it much better than the tusk light. Just have to put the n...
Hi guys, Just got a TTR for the first time, I have not done any offroading at all but have been a life long biker. Got this to do up and have a go at off-roading when it is done anyway so could be a while away!!
does anyone know why the older models and newer models have a different clutch?? and can you interchange them I.e. put an old style clutch into a newer engine ?? or was the smaller clutch just for the raid ??
hi all I noticed recently whilst doing some work on the bike that when I turn the engine over manually(either by turning rear wheel or by turning flywheel bolt with a socket) that the starter motor turns aswell. my understanding is that the sprag clutch is there to stop the engine from turning the start...
I just got some wheel bearing today, I went to change them after work. I started it and all was going smoothly until I realised that the wheel spacer on the sprocket side has corroded to the inner bearing race. I can't remove the spacer and I can't progress any further until it is gone. How can I remove the...
Hi all, after a sticky plunger I took the top of my front res, it looks like it hadn't been off for a while, one of the skrews wouldn't budge and ended up getting a little mangled so had to drill it out. it gets worse I lifted the lid to find a gellatineaus green/brown layer so sucked it worst out (syringe not...
It's a 53 plate in blue, pretty standard bike apart from ally bars, leaver guards with indicators, CRD front pipe and custom "bash" plate all original spares come with the bike + an FMF "silencer". Mileage is 11.5K current mot. Not sure about price but I think £1400 seems fair. A...

Inspired by a certain Mr B Sussex and his restoration project, I decided to take a few panels off the rear of my bike and see whats what. I cleaned up the frame a bit and swabbed out some scum from inside the airfilter box. I cleaned out the pod (Raid toolkit missing) and put it all back together. I then decid...
Emptied tank, new gas, new filter. New battery, new plug. Sprayed carburetor starter in carb and bike turns over strong and tries but never starts. Checked carb and it appears clean, but should I soak?
Just purchased a 2000 TTR 250 and has air box and exhuast "mods". The air box I can repair, the exhuast is empty, as in there is nothing inside the can, and the end cap is just the chrome peice with the 1.5 in. hole. I need to have it USFS approved to ride forest service roads and trails. What was in...
I have been given a used unit and the gears are completely seized. I have removed the circlip and tab washer but the gear which slides over the tube will not budge. It is currently bathing in Plus Gas overnight. Amy tips to aid removal? The worm gear that the cable slides into looks like it has a VERY small...
Iain's TTR as developed a clinking sound on the mono shock on rebound only? We checked all the bushes and can feel no movement. It doesn't make a sound when pressing down, only a click on return? Just wondered if anybody else had this problem. Otherwise both bikes running well.
Hi I've posted here about the sprockets on my 1994 Raid (4GY4 with 18/57T and 428 chain). I'm now contemplating changing the sprockets and chain to 520 but I seem to remember reading a post that said that the 520 chain would foul the digital sensor at the front sprocket. Now I can't find that post - can a...
I have just about finished another refurbishment and am fitting one of our after-market tail lights and thought I would document it just in case it might be useful for someone else. The first job is to mark, centre punch and then drill two 5mm holes 44mm apart in line with the centre of the existing middl...
