Seem to have developed a starting problem on the ttr, where I put the choke and fuel on crank the engine, it starts straight away but the dies. I can do this 4/5 times and eventually I can get it to keep going but before this it used to start on the button. When its warm/hot there,s no problem I can start it eas...

G'day guys, There is nowhere on the internet that discusses this topic. I still have the original Dunlops on my bike. I want to change to an exclusive offroad dirt tyre. What brand/types do you recommend? -- Edited by AussieChookchaser on Saturday 7th of December 2024 09:10:45 AM
My son got the Motocross bug and tried jumping my TTR250. (his TTR230 has less suspension travel) The TTR250 does bottom out on some of the bigger jumps. I guess he'll need a proper MX bike now... https://youtu.be/Irz_SrDghCE https://youtu.be/kXPYFs2DkSY [IMG]https://i2.photobucket.co...
So, my daughter's bike is starting to smoke a lot, figure it's time for new rings and piston, looking on Ebay, looks like they offer a few replacements, 73.75 bore, 73mm bore, 73.5 bore, Any idea what size I need, I don't want to pay the inflated Yamaha OEM brand if I don't have too. Thanks -- Edited by dle...
Hello all. I recently tore down my carb and cleaned it out because it had been sitting for a year and a half. I got it installed and put the bike back together, but when i turn on the pet****, gas comes out of both overflow lines. is it possible that i bent my floats?
Got a hard copy of a TTR manual today (have a PDF version already, was looking through it again & came across all the suspension adjustments. They basically tell you where hard, medium & soft are but not much more. I was wondering if anyone with more TTR seat time has really sorted out all the set...
I have just converted my 1997 TTR250 to a "Supermoto" .... It was relatively straightforward and CHEAP, once I figured out which wheels to use!For the rear, I fitted a DT125X (17" x 3.5"), which more or less bolted straight on! All it required was a slight modification to the TTR...
Own a 2007 TTR250 Aust build. Managed to smash the headlight lens the other day. Doesn't look like there is anything much on Ebay in relation to the OEM lens as a replacement. Can I still get them anywhere? If not will anything else fit? And for your entertainment.... [video=https://youtu.be/ya9Hd...
Whenever I think a customer can't surprise me any more, I get one that does! Turns out that TTR250 owner Chris Hayden developed a Vincent 1000 to race at the Isle of Man TT and took the lap and race records for a Vincent in 1988. This is him in action below Chris said the hardest part was that his Vincent...
Hey all, I have a TTR frame for sale. I bought it with the aim to get it powder coated and then move the components from my bike onto it in-order to minimise the amount of time I'd be without a bike. Since I'm not going to be in a position to do this for a while and my plan has changed to buying a second bike that I c...
Been a hell of a day I've been trying to bleed my brakes on the Kawasaki zzr600 and no matter how much new fluid we have put through its still not biting, just remaining really spongy and not stopping the bike at all, it has got new seals and fluid and still refuses to bleed, any ideas and too top it all off fo...
Hopefully this doesn't get lost in the cloud of spam the forum's being hit with at the moment! This morning I rode the bike to work, as it's a short ride I didn't bother with earplugs so I've noticed a slight rattly/ticky sound when returning to idle after revving, very short and quite quiet but definite...
Hey guys hope all is well and happy new year! So my TTR is running leaner than an Olympic marathoner. White spark plug and no carbon build up. New spark plug. The header is glowing red yadda yardda. This is a 2005 TTR 250 US/CA model. I am once again cleaning the carb and checking jet sizes. I will send t...
Hi all, sorry if this has been asked many times before, but what is the usual distance you can travel before going onto reserve when off-roading. I appreciate a lot will depend on the terrain and so on, but would I be right in thinking about 100 miles or that is that asking a lot ? Thanks in advance for your c...
My ignition pick up has gone open circuit. I've ordered one on ebay that I think I can fit to the existing stator/wiring. Being Chinese if it works I might sell the ttr because I can't trust it Tried to buy a complete stator but apparently not available any more Has anyone got a good fix -- Edited by T...
Just thought I'd put a quick post in as there seems to be a few issues with this. My bike was having issues returning to a normal idle when coming to a stop. (It stayed high or took a while to return or needed a blip to return it to normal) I had previously rebuilt it with an 'All Balls' kit. After trying all...
Since building the 350 I'm loving it so much I don't want to stop riding it when my local lanes close over winter so I'm building some supermoto wheels on some hubs Steve at Totally kindly found for me Of course the smaller 17" wheel and lower profile tyre will already shorten my gearing slightly which is...

Just joined the forum, what a wonderful resource! Thank you Brian and all the contributors. I just picked up a really sweet 2006 road legal (and still licensed) TTR for my son to use. It has less than 5000 kms on the clock, still on the original chain, sprockets and Nissin disc pads! It is in really excell...
I want to set up a spare set of wheels for more road use over winter when my local lanes are closed Will probably get the hubs built onto some smaller rims so not bothered on condition for complete wheels, and a set of bare hubs would be even better Located in the UK
I have just fitted a set of drop-in cartridge emulators, springs and a new rear shock from Cogent Dynamics in the US to an XT250 Serow (sorry to get your hopes up with that first sentence!) The front end was dramatically improved (ride quality and dirt road cornering feel) so I have been trying to find in...

In rebuilding my 325 into a 350 as it has finally succumbed to the dreaded barrel weep, I have found the 6th gear in the transmission is quite badly pitted on the tooth surface. I know this is an issue with the xt/tt 600 engines (top gear being 5th in these) but didn't realise it was much of a problem on our en...
https://ebay.io/m/verWHB Do these fit the open enduro? I saw one on a Serrow recently and couldn't really tell any obvious difference to the open enduro. Ta Dave
I get monthly reports on how my TTR250 web pages are "performing". Interesting to see the shock rebuild page is coming in at Number 3! These are the top 3 pages:http://ttr250.com/Carb/TTR250_carburettor_strip_and_rebuild_guide.htm 5 hitshttp://ttr250.com/Removing_Cylinder_Head/TT...
