Fitting my 350 kit and have just started reassembling. I’ve pressed the crankshaft into the bearing using the flywheel bolt and a socket per the suggestion in the excellent guide but the teeth on the crank are sitting slightly higher than the balancer teeth The picture I took before taking apart doe...
Hi Everyone, Ive just bought a nice looking (Blue) 2005 TTR to replace my very nice and capable Honda CRM250, the Kickstart on the CRM is the deciding factor, I needed that Electric start on the TTR. I'd like it a bit lower, so that projects started to get it ready for the coming season and an ACT Pyrenees t...

I measured my barrel with a bore gauge. It's out of round by about 0.003 (3 thou) Google says it's time for a rebore, would everyone here agree? Would .5mm be enough? Would anyone like to recommend a machine shop, either that I can post to, or that's in the Didcot (S.Oxon.) area? Thanks in advance. Jon....
I recently took a fully (over!)loaded carful of my other remaining TTR parts to Steve to put them in the shop. These may not be listed for a while so, if you need any used parts not in the Totally TTRs shop here, maybe drop him an email. The stash included 8 X aluminium swingarms, crankcases, steering head...
Much to my displeasure, I have to move my 2002 TTR250 on to a new home. It's all down to accumulated injuries, arthritis, surgery and the fact that I can no longer get my leg over the seat of the bike. Sidecars, race bikes and driving only now. No, don't suggest a cruiser, unless you want a deathly stare...

I have had a big invoice from IONIS for web hosting so I am looking to move my web pages to another free or cheaper platform. I am paying £18 pa for the ttr250.com domain plus £216 pa for hosting. This is a lot of money for static HTML web pages which don't get a huge amount of traffic so I am looking at alternat...

I have a 2002 TTR250, starts up fine but when I give it throttle and the rpms settle down, it does this weird vibration/rattling like it has an air leak and the rpms kinda go up a little. Anyone experienced this before? Here is a link to a video I took. https://share.icloud.com/photos/03dsY_k6vXv6i-...

Had a new issue this weekend that I've not come across before. Thought I'd share it: For some time now, my neutral light has glowed dimly whatever gear I was in, in wet weather. Came on brightly in neutral as normal. I just assumed it was damp causing a mild short across the neutral switch which is freque...
