I am a glutton for punishment I recently got another frame back from powder coating and have started to clean up the parts I took off it and hang them back on. I am not sure what order other owners do it in but I like to get the electrics sorted first, then the engine to give stability, followed by the front f...
Hi, I'm new to the forum and recently enquired about TTRs and was looking for a UK bike. I was directed to a very nice bike and have subsequently bought it from TTRFan, Brian. The bike was delivered last night and I am very pleased indeed. Its a very nice little number and my first bike. So hello everyo...
Hi Just wondering if the shocks from the 2004 onwards bike are same as early open enduros, found a progressive rear spring from Hyperpro to fit but says only for 2004 onwards. Thanks Sam.
I've just returned from the Norway-Sweden border where my friend (on his snowmobile) and I (on my TTR) rode a trail through the woods. It was a tad cooler than Devon but the riding was superb. Martyn
If you are worried about the toughness of your TTR then take a look HERE. Lois Pryce has taken her TTR to Iran. A very courageous lady. I don't think I would dare go to Iran - never mind on my TTR! Martyn

Hi all, after a bit of thinking, iv'e decided that my 2004 TTR250 is in need of a bash plate. yes i could go and buy one, but as a boilermaker, i can do it myself, and at $100+ i dont think its a really fair deal! anyway, would anyone have a template or something that could help me out with making a template? c...

Hi. I'm currently taking lessons and will be taking my test soon so its time to decide which bike I want to buy. Most of my riding will be on tarmac or gravel and will be the odd commute to work and just exploring the countryside where I live. I don't have any plans to off road in particular but I'm not ruling...
I know it's a common issue, the wearing of the front brake hose where it rubs on the guides. I was wondering if replacing the front hose with a metal braided one would resolve the issue? I know the HEL or Venhill ones are still plastic coated over the braid, so I guess this might still wear through, but on...

Hi Guys, So about to go out to get new oil for my rebuilt motor (have some Penrite Semi Synthetic 15w-50 that says on the bottle it may be used in engines that require 15w-40, 20w-40 & 20w-50 as well as four stroke motorcycles that have wet clutches), my question is should I use this or get something mi...
Hi when I got my TTR, it had a slight weep of oil from the front sprocket area... My local bike parts shop sold me a seal but I was never really impressed with it so after a quick email to Brian a genuine yam seal was delivered next day..Brilliant service Thankyou MR & MRS TTR Today I stripped the sprocke...
I am not sure why but the bottom of the three oil filter cover bolts seems susceptible to stripping the thread. Unfortunately this has just happened to my project TTR as I was changing the oil and filter. Disappointing as I was using a torque wrench but not unexpected as the bolt came out "funny&q...
I recently decided to stop dreaming of a new bike and start appreciating how great my TTR really is. So I've been spending a lot of time on here over the past two months, learning how to better maintain and uncork the blue beast....or as my friends call it...The Billy Goat, since it will climb just about a...
Am going to be rebuilding my ttr top end very soon, am just wondering on the rebuild if i need to use thicker oil first time round then flush it out and use stuff i usually put in. I usually use Putoline DX4 10w-40 semi synthetic in. Also found out when we took engine apart the base gasket went like jelly am as...
Hello people. I was going to adjust the chain on my newly bought 2003 TTR but thought that it may in fact be worn beyond repair. I measured the 10 link distance as recommended in the manual, which suggest a wear limit of 150.1mm. It was pretty much 151mm. But then I read that someone elsewhere (I can't reme...

I'm looking for a 2nd rim so I can always have two sets of tires ready to roll (one for mud and one for rocks). There are very few used TTR rims available on ebay because it's such a rare bike. Is the TTR rim interchangeable with any other bike rim, like a YZ?
Hello everyone on this forum. I've recently bought a 2003 TTR after scouring the Internet for a few months in search of an offroad bike. I think part of the reason for choosing the TTR was the fact that there is such a high level of support for the motorbike available, mostly coming from you helpful lot h...
Hi chaps. wondering if there is a reason you recommend replacing the top bearing with a different type? (poly la la thingy) I can see from the pics its a cracking alterative, but I live close to a bearing shop and was wondering if there is a reason people arnt just putting in a like for like bearing ? (roll...
