Hey guys, I only ride on dirt (no need to take road riding into the decision making process) and run Heavy duty tubes 18-20 psi on trails with lots of sharp broken rocks. Between myself and a mate we have had 4 flats and are looking for a better setup. The options I have come up with seem to be Mousse, Ti...
Hi there, have just registered to the site. I have an 04 blue TTR250 in my garage that I purchased new from Mark Seward Racing motorcycles in Cornwall (where I live). It has only done just over 2000 miles (or is it k/ms). Most of it's use was off road on local trails and the odd road trial. It was last taxed an...
Does anybody know if the rear wheel complete with sprocket and brake disc from the older ttr's (purple rim) are compatible with the newer ttr's (2004). Many thanks. Mark.
Getting the bikes ready for a run out yesterday - outnumbered the WR by 4 to 1! Can only claim ownership of the front two TTR's. Nice 4 hours and 50 miles in the sunshine of Provence. Will remember to take my camera out one of these days and post some pics of our playground. Dave

I have never bought anything from overseas so I don't know the prcedures and costs. Is it more hassle than it's worth? Any advice woul...

Do you you buy from US?They are a real gem of a bike and I wonder why manufa...

I assume it's either a sensor in the gearbox, side stand or clutch switch but wher...
