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...

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?

On my last ride the bike sounded a little more 'grindy' than usual when starting up. I figured my sprag clutch was failing as it's been clunking a little louder, but when I pulled the cover I found the starter shaft is missing a few teeth. The idler gear is missing one too. The sprag clutch spins freely an...

G'day all, only new to bikes and am having trouble with indicators. They were working a few days ago but now only the dash light stays on (no flash) and nothing from any globe.
