I am stripping an engine and the sprag clutch was really jammed. If you look at the way the bearing assembly has been bent, this sprag kicked back big time! Can't believe it wasn't giving out audible warning signals to the owner well before this happened. I have found the best way to safely unjam the s...
Kia Ora Folks! I'm a bit of an imposter here as I actually ride a 450exc (sorry!). Having said that my partner has just bought an awesome '95 TTR250 Raid. It's in really good nick and we've already had a few good rides on it. The reason for me joining this forum is I'm looking for some advice around luggage...
Here I have for sale a OE frame in a hideous shade of green, but don't let that put you off on its own. It's also has the sidestand lug cut off and the brake pedal pivot modified (I think as it's different to my raid frame). To top it off it's had a weld repair to a seat tube but that seams pretty normal. And has a...
Mike McCann has made some great videos on suspension and performance mods for the TTR including the exhaust and front forks. See his YouTube channel here His latest videos show the progress on a 350cc conversion using the Totally TTRs big-bore kit. First of the series is here: [video=https://yout...
Hi, I'm selling my blue 2002 TTR 250, currently on SORN. 5235 miles (speedo in km), barely used but well maintained. Norwich. Local delivery possible. £2000
Hi-just found this site and am looking to get back into some biking and really fancy getting a TTr250! Any really important things to keep a lookout for with these bikes? Thanks!
Interesting video. The guy (can't find his name) has built his own powder coating setup very cheaply and, in this video, coats some TTR parts including the barrel from a 350 kit
Hi there, has anyone noticed during a rebuild that there top two piston rings are positioned closer together than expected? I noticed this in both the 325 and 350 I split recently but 100% know the 350 was spot on with spacings some 200 miles ago? The 325 had had more miles on and were closely aligned. T...
Hi All Sad news this one Due to a high volume of orders being returned to me from Europe, I have suspended any European orders using their local postal network for the moment. I am trying to see how to get this resolved. For now I can only send using UPS and not the local postage sytem. If any customers in E...
Hi, I have been a long time lurker on this forum and have found it to be a great resource for all and most interesting. I thought therefore I would joinup if not only to boost the membership. I dont have an off road type machine and really never have had and I dont know if my bones / joints would actually take i...
Just for information when you hear that dreaded "Clunk" sound when you stop the engine and your fears of having to replace the Sprag Clutch, its not that harder job. The sound was getting louder and more often when the engine was stopped. 2001 model with 16000km, we are the 4-5 owners looking at the bik...

Hi all, got an issue with my blue tank speedo drive, yes the speedo does work but when the dike is in the air & I turn the front wheel backward it locks up, I removed the speedo drive & inspected, cleaned it up. the worm gear or pinion had end float & I believe this is causing the lockup. To me it s...
Hi Everyone, Was visiting a friend of a friend in our old hometown and during a “Guided Tour” of his Garden I spotted a 1981 Montesa Cota 200 lurking in the darkness. Just had to ask what that was all about and was told that he bought it out from Scotland, when he emigrated to NZ in 1991 and was thinking of sel...
Feels like a 2nd coming, what with Covid and long awaited surgery I’ve had minimum TTRing or big yin outings. The surgery complete 2.5 weeks ago, (no details, it would make your eyes water) and recovery going well, in 1.5 weeks I hope to be climbing aboard wee yin, stand by for some short ride reports.
Hello! It seems that the coil lead on my ttr has some internal damage.Sometimes when unplugging and putting it back i get misfires. I have cut a few mm of the end of the lead and screwed the plug cap back in and it cured the problem.But i already had to do it twice now. Is it possible to remove the lead from the...
Up for sale is my TTR project. Sorry for the long ad but there's quite a lot to list.Firstly everything is powdercoated. The frame, yolks, wheels, engine casings, all associated brackets pegs etc etc. See pics. It was a long time ago so not perfect but obviously never been out.There's a lot of parts cha...
Just nought my first TTR250 blue 2005. Only 6500 miles.....loving it....well I was....! After first ride I had to limp home with a slipping clutch. Thanks for the great thread on how to adjust....I hope to try this later. 😀 I'll pop back on the thread and hopefully someone will have a photo of the a...

Cheers Andy -- Edited by Heavyb...
I’m new to the site and not sure entirely if I’m doing this right? I recently bought a ttr250, and need a metal bash plate for it, does anyone know one that would fit and work nicely?
When this mint condition 2006 TTR-250 showed-up on fb marketplace for $2,600, I had to save it from the ebayers who part them out. With the exception of the carb, it has not been wrenched on. It only has 126 miles on the meter. Judging from the pristine condition and original Dunlop D-739's, I believ...
I'm just not using this, having owned it from 2014 when I was using it for green laning. The bike has been sorn'd for several years since I decided to do a re build. The frame has been powder coated and various minor parts p painted. During the rebuild I bought a new Yamaha headlamp surround, new hand guard...
Hi all, as it seems like finding an original headlight surround for an 04 is virtually impossible please could somebody point me in the right direction for the best alternative. Cheers in advance.
This bike was used by Lois for her Iranian adventure. Supplied with signed copy of the book, many documentary photographs. reg'd 2006, blue tank model ( Original blue tank included) , the bike comes set up now as close to what it was when Lois rode it, ie white long range Acerbis tank, ( 21 or 23 ltrs, not...
Dear all I am new to the forum, but post here as I hit a strange issue yesterday. I have fitted a TTR 250 engine in my daughters quad bike and have fitted a speeduino ECU and electronic fuel injection. During the mapping phase We did a number of high load runs (2-3 hours) on the dyno to ensure fueling is co...
Anyone know what size the rear shock preload thread is? I'm considering an XTrig preload adjuster and I don't think they list one for the TTR but if I can find another bike with the same thread I can start the hunt on ebay! (This is just because I'm too idle to strip things down to measure my shock...) https...
