I am in the process of putting the engine back together, having had the bore de glazed and new piston rings installed: the instructions indicate to fit an 'O' ring on the base of the cylinder and the new gasket below the 'O' ring. Is this correct; it doesn't feel like that will make a good seal! The 'o' ring...
Hi everyone! Bought a ‘94 Raid about 6 months ago and have been riding it over here and over on the big island doing some southern TET sections. Coming from a KTM 690 supermoto I’m loving riding off road (have been riding mountainbikes for about 10 years) and the very useable power Have done a few upgrade...

Not been run in 12 months Spare parts to go with the bike, I don't want to split it up. Open to sensible offers Mark Sold -- Edited by Mark Martin on Monday 30th of June 2025 08...
Hello all. Just wondered if anyone had ever had a problem with a slight leak in the carb when standing and not even running. I think (not sure at all) it may be coming from the lid where you access the diaphragm (photo attached). I took the carb off and then tightened everything up. However, still leaki...
Does anyone know if the rear wheel from a TTR225 will fit the TTR250? There don't seem to be many TTR250 rear wheels this side of the Atlantic; but I could get a TTR225 one if it is the same size.....
My fuel tank has rusted through from where the seat has been rubbing on it. Previous owner must have left it bare metal like that for quite a while and there are two holes on the one side. I've attacked it with a wire brush attachment and this is the result: What would you all recommend I do to fix this? I h...

Just started a couple days ago, noted that my speed was fluttering by up to 20kph, now, wildly. I even saw it at 170kph today which is obviously impossible. Can some wise head advise, is this likely to be the magnet in process of breaking up or the sensor malfunctioning?

Competing in vintage enduro yesterday and engine revs suddenly rose to run at about half throttle. Cables all ok and throttle returning to throttle drop screw. Completed lap by turning out throttle stop screw, but then the bike kept stalling at critical moments. Had to DNF. Carb recent overhaul, ne...
Had the day off today did a ride upto gingers creek on the Oxley highway for lunch of course went the dirt way a total of 207km . Pretty rough and a bit hot but a lot of fun .
I thought my bike sounded a little loud on my last ride, turns out my exhaust was severed at the join with the header! Rusted through I need to get a replacement pronto - can anyone recommend a UK supplier? I'd rather go aftermarket than stock replacement unless it's super expensive. But if anyone know...
After several years delay (!), I finally completed my sidelined top-end rebuild. All new parts (Wossner piston kit), all machine work sent out to a first-class machinist, 1mm over bore, new valves, cam sprockets, cam chain, etc. Set cam timing meticulously. Before reassembly, I checked the big-e...
Ok. My TTR has developed an annoying habit. It has cut out a dozen times at idle over the past few weeks, so I'm asking for ideas on what might be causing it. Today I took it for a 10-15 minute urban run at 30-40 mph, a 2 mile return trip up a dual carriage way at +60 mph, and finished off with start / stop, 1/4 mil...
After doing the starter clutch & kick starter, I re-fitted the exhaust, as you do. Got the torque wrench onto the exhaust studs and it wouldn't tighten even on about 8 lb.ft. Oh well, **** happens. Any interim repair, other than helicoil? I have a spare head that I will have serviced and fit so I c...
If I didn't take it, it was off to the tip. Far too good to just throw it away, so I took it and got it out of the weather. Wasps had taken over as the top of this insect motel's food chain. I removed all of the plastics, what remained of the seat (I think it may have been sheep food), and the engine came out. Th...

Currently charging battery, was weak at MOT due to standing, can't r...
My original clocks are heavy and prone to getting smashed so here's may solution. A sheet of black nylon bolted to the standard mountings. Completely ditched the speedo drive that kept failing anyway, just kept the housing on the front axle, nothing inside it. Orange LEDs on L side are day and nigh...
I was trying to find some thorough details on fitting an oil cooler. It's pretty messy in here, with half a dozen different threads which either drop off unfinished, or don't really give sufficient information. What I've gathered so far is that there is one bolt, located inside the clutch cover, tha...

I am now the owner of PO55 OTS; and very happy with this lovely bike - apart from the mystery of the disappearing oil! There is no evidence of oil leaking, it does not smoke but at the end of every ride ( usually about 50 miles of gentle, Cornish lanes) I have to add at least 100ml of oil just to get the level vis...
