The Serow bike compared to the TTR occasionally crops up on this forum. Having personally started green laning on the Serow a few years ago I later moved to the TTR. At the time I had recently read both of Lois Price books, the first when she used a Serow and the second when using a TTR for long distance rid...

Gave it run 2 day on a trail ride.... all I can say is what a diffrents... the short header pipe combined with the GYTR tail pipe really makes the little TTR come alive.. when I left the start was a short run to a left hand corner..went in as normal g...
An owner sent me a pic of a set our small indicators fitted to one of our tail tidies. I think it looks very neat and the indicators are tucked away from (most) damage Brian
can anyone help i changed my front tyre on my ttr 250 and i have over tightened one of the axle holder bolts [10mm] which caused it to shear [im gutted] and i think they are welded to the fork as anyone got any suggestions on my options without great expense.
I have a 2001 TT-R250 with what I gather is a relatively common problem. The tank has a very long crack along the mold-line. I took it to a plastic welder who tried a test weld and said that the plastic won't take the weld. I'm stuck as nobody seems to have a tank to fit this bike, nobody makes a replacement ta...
I have acquired and trimmed up a pair of 2004 Yamaha WR250 foot pegs that now fit my 2004 TTR. The standard springs I have don't fit the WR foot pegs as they fit inside the stock peg and the new peg requires a spring that will fit around the lower part of the peg. Has anyone done this mod? Or does anyone have any...

I was trawling the net for info and found myself coming here again and again so I signed up and here I am.

Noticed my exhaust valves (Or are they the valve guides ) have a white color. Bikes done 9000 km and runs well. With no engine mods done. It looks like its running very lean but you can see its not because of the black soot in the exhaust chamber. Is it a special metal that goes that color. im guessing a...
I have had a couple of instances recently where the neutral warning light in particular has hardly been visible in daylight. The remedy is simple. I found that the bulb and lens were covered in a layer of very fine dust. The following applies to the blue model TTR but the process is similar for the white T...
My brother Trev & I went to the Devon TRF event at Cotton Farm, Cruwys Morchard, Nr Tiverton, this morning. Great track and a good turn out. The woods section was excellent: but some riders struggled on the straightforward field sections eh Trev? Well done the DTRFG! Brian
I chopped up a scrap frame today and was surprised to find the upper subframe rails were blocked earth and fine grit for about 4" from the main engine cradle - see pic below. The lower tube was clear - see below: How on earth did the dirt get into the upper rails? They appear to be a completely closed lo...

Hello all. Just bought myself a TT250R and I havent even seen it. Spur of the moment on ebay the other day, so I sent a local friend to give it the once over. He said if I didnt buy it - he would have it there and then. That was good enough for me to hand over the readies! Its very clean with around 3500 on the clock...
Hi All I am 99.9% sure that on all the bikes I've ever ridden (road) it has been possible to start the bike in gear with the clutch leaver held in...am I wrong?!? My TTR will not allow me to start the bike in gear. This is a right pain after I have stalled the bike especially as it seems very difficult to find n...
